And, last but not least, the MG series mixers are equally suitable for live and studio use. In order to offer the best sound in the smallest of spaces, high-quality microphone preamps from Yamaha's high-end studio consoles are used in the small mixers. With the MG12XU, Yamaha's compact mixer series “MG” is now in its third round. Also, there is no fader or graphic master equalizer. The stereo signal can be recorded in a DAW via USB and two independent stereo streams from the computer and can be fed into the mixer. The interface works with 24 bit/192 kHz and offers very good sound quality. To do this, however, you should download the appropriate driver from the Mackie website.

This mixer can be used as a 2 × 4 audio interface. The USB interface offers good added value. You can choose from, for example, reverb, chorus, delay, overdrive distortion, and more. With 24 GigFX effects, Mackie offers an impressive collection for polishing up the sounds throughout the new series. So, rotary controls ensure the desired mixing ratios. With the compact dimensions of the Mackie ProFX6v3 of 74 x 191 x 213 mm (H x W x D), you can't expect a fader. And yes, condenser microphones can also be connected, because 48-volt phantom power can be switched. They, thus, also help dynamic microphones with low output on the jumps. These low-noise preamps are not only known for their good sound. It is already printed on the metal surface of the small mixer. While the stereo channels offer no other options apart from a single volume control (rotary potentiometer), the mono channel strips are more extensively equipped.

It, for example, allows playback from smartphones, MP3 players, or digital recorders in an uncomplicated way. The small format of this so-called mini jack is becoming more and more popular. Channel 5/6 also works in stereo but has a 3.5 mm stereo socket ready for its line signals. Channel 3/4 is a classic stereo line-in with large jack sockets. Line signals can also be fed in using 6.35 mm jack plugs. This compact mixer offers six channels of which the two mono inputs 1 and 2 are equipped with combo sockets. The Mackie ProFX6v3 is a much smaller version of the series. In addition to the new design, there are now Onyx microphone preamps, 2 × 4 USB recording, 24 practical GigFX effects, and an extensive software package for download. Mackie presented the FX6v3 among the three-series classics with useful upgrades.
