Yamaha MG10XU

Extremely good value for the price. My biggest issue is getting my sausage fingers in to operate the knobs, this is only for the tone controls mainly- and as you normally only touch these at the start of the sound check it’s not really an issue. And it is more than compensated by the small footprint of the unit.

All the controls really work - having a discernible and broad impact on the sound, without being silly. I really like the one knob compressors on channels 1 and 2. I would pay a little more to have these on all four mic/line inputs.

I needed a USB mixer to present music classes on Zoom / live streaming. This unit works perfectly for this purpose. It is small, easy to operate and the sound is clean. I give it a very high recommendation!

I need a USB sound card with a headphone amplifier for my computer organ. So, I ordered the MG10XU of which I expected a good performance as I was used from Yamah devices.

However, with my new Windows 10 computer, the USB sound card shows a poor sound quality. For example, when the sound of an echo dies away, the MG10XU produces strange noise for a while which is really annoying.
Although I installed a driver, downloaded from the Yamaha Homepage, the sound quality has kept poor.

Also the delay is quite high, which makes the MG10XU not suitable for real time applications, even with ASIO driver.

In the past in our Family, many devices from Yamaha have been purchased, electronics as well as music instruments, always well satisfying. For example some years ago, I purchased a Yamaha MG8/2FX mixing console with which I am very happy.

Its nice prodouct, I think yamaha is from of the best brands in the world.
And service of shop.musix is excelet.
