How to resolve AdBlock issue? Yamaha MGX Mixers, URX Series & CC1
At the start of the new year, Yamaha unleashes three new products: the MGX series digital mixers (pictured above), the URX audio interfaces, and the CC1 USB controller. These new products combine modern featutres and high flexibility for professional use in the studio, on stage, and for streaming as well as content creation.
The MGX series digital mixers combine the highly successful legacy of the MG audio mixer range with the latest features and - in a first for Yamaha - video capture and streaming. For many years, Yamaha’s compact MG series mixers have delivered the perfect balance of features, usability and cost-effectiveness for small-to-medium sized venues, live musicians, conferencing, education and recording applications.
Making its world debut at the NAMM Show 2026, the new all digital MGX series ushers in a new era of MG excellence. Driven by Yamaha’s pursuit of ‘True Sound’ - which faithfully captures and reproduces every audio nuance - MGX mixers feature an impressive expansion of functionality for the ever-changing landscape of sound reinforcement and production.
Available in four models, the 12/16 channel MGX12 and MGX16 are joined by the MGX12V and MGX16V, which feature an HDMI-USB audio/video interface with capture and pass-through functions. This enables users to simultaneously capture video to a PC or Mac and record or stream it, together with the audio.
All MGX models feature premium quality microphone preamps on mic/line combo inputs, which achieve an impressive 86 dB gain range with ultra-low distortion, plus eight line and Bluetooth audio inputs, two XLR outs, six or eight TRS OMNI outs and four headphone ports.
Dual Main/Sub USB ports allow a wide range of audio sources and devices to be integrated with the MGX series. The main USB port allows up to 22 tracks of recording/playback with the MGX16/16V and 18 with the MGX12/12V, while the sub USB port allows two tracks of recording/playback. All four MGX series mixers also feature up to 16 tracks of audio recording and two tracks of playback direct to/from a microSD card.
With powerful DSP providing highly creative tools - including noise gate, compressor, EQ, delay, reverb, amp simulator and voice changer - and latency-free monitoring, MGX series mixers are supplied with a suite of Steinberg music production software. And it’s all in a rugged package which weighs just 5.0 kg for maximum portability. By adding from Yamaha’s comprehensive ranges of speakers, microphones, headphones and more, users can build a system which satisfies a wide range of audio and hybrid video production demands.
