**ABOUT THIS VIDEO **
If you're looking for a small mixer for your rig, the Yamaha MG06x is a beautiful little unit. This little guy features two mic preamps with pads, 2-band EQ, & high pass filters; 2 stereo instrument channels; phantom power; three stereo outputs; and even onboard delay and reverb. For only $130-ish this mixer is a great little thing to pull out of your pocket in a pinch, whether you're at a gig or in the studio. I've even mounted it to my pedalboard at times and on certain tours!! So the small footprint is definitely a plus too. And the audio quality is stellar and impeccable. I own and use the Yamaha MG06x myself and I highly recomment this mixer.

Man!!!! Why do you keep hitting it with the screwdriver?!!! I’m glad your giving us good info but the screwdriver tapping is annoying as hell!!!😂😂
Exactly.. Annoying asf!!
Indeed, no need for such neurotic hits with the screwdriver! So anoying... on the other side, very articulated and calm, usefull informations about the subject.. thx
😂
I also wanted to say this!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂true
Thanks so much for this! Your video has helped someone completely new to this type of equipment gain a better understanding of how it works 💚
i'm glad i was able to help you :)))
I turned it off b/c of the tapping..lol…but I came back b/c it’s the best review of the product! Thanks! 🤗
lol sorry about that & thanks :)
No need to tik tik beat with screw driver..it's disturb more while hearing..anyway nice 👍
sorry about that
@@YusifRefaedon't mine it was only suggestion. You r doing good job bro..keep it up👍
@@mukeshjagtapsinger thanks bro. i actually shot a few versions using a pencil and other things but in the end the screwdriver was the only one that didn't get in the way of the view of the mixer hahaha. i won't tap it anymore tho LOL
@@YusifRefae Using that screw driver was absurd!!! Banging a metal screw driver against the Yamaha face and controls etc was moronic!
@@nivid01 Steve, please dont come on my channel and call me a moron or i will block you next time. thanks
Great video!!! I just bought this mixer and you explained it's features so well. I'm glad I got it now.😊
thanks for sharing, glad this mixer is workin out for ya :)
Super helpful! I own this mixer, and forgot about some of the things you went through - thank you!!
thanks Katherine, I'm glad the video helped you. By the way my son's name is Ryan :)))
thanks man i appreciate the time you took to explain and demo it. 🙏🏽
Thank you exactly the kind of review I needed!!
Great job Yusif.
Thank you for the demo. I enjoyed it.
what a great video, never used a mixer before, and this made everything clear
Thank you. Great explanation.
Great video to the point and informative
thanks so much, antony
Great video so helpful thank you ; the pointing actually helped me …
Yusif, Wow, just found your channel and just subscribed. I have to play 4 instruments at our gigs, (banjo, mandolin, guitar and slide guide) and this looks like an nice option to be able to control all of these instruments without being overly complex for a little bluegrass bad. Thanks Again.
Thanks for the message Chris I appreciate it! This mixer is perfect for your instrumental setup. I'm glad the video helped you.
Thanks for the review
thanks : - )
I like the way you test the sounds. Please make a video on a new Yamaha AG06MK2. Thank you.
Excellent review!
Is the left out a monol feed so I can line out to an troubadour amp/combo?
thanks for this demo. Can you use the phone jack and the TRS outs at the same time? I'm assuming yes but just want to be absolutely certain as I have this dependency for a gig tonight :)
Another cool thing for keyboards is it also acts as a DI box with the balanced out.
thx for your support :))) yes, definitely amazing what you get with this little mixer for ~$150, considering some 2-channel DIs are $100 or more!
🤤The way he taps that screwdriver.
Nice video. May I ask (sorry I am kinda new in this topic): does it make sense to buy such a small mixer and connect my Genos (unbalanced) and my HS7 (xlr) to it? Main target is to maximise the quality of sound.
I mean it also works connecting the key and the monitors (jack-jack) ifc. But it’s a asymmetrical signal then. Thank you 🙏
Great review (device needs dusting)
Great video! Correct me if I'm wrong. I am a solo guitarist that will be paying live with backing tracks. I would have my guitar amp go into Input one. My stereo mix from my laptop into lines 3/4. Main Outputs to PA/Monitors. Lastly I could use the headphone out as my in ear? Cheers!
Hi, I hope you reply as I am struggling to find information about this mixer. If I have a mono mic feeding into channel 1 and I have the stereo/mono button set to "mono", will that 1st channel out put as centered? What I don't want to happen is my mono microphone coming out of only the left or right speaker, i need it to come out of both.
Is the screwdriver sold separately?
Nice mixer
thx
Like it... 👌👌
💥thanks💥
Great demo. I'm looking for a little EQ capablity that my SSL2 interface does not have. So I could run this in front of it correct?
definitely will work! not the best sounding EQ for recording, though. but it's passable. tbh in your scenario i'd just run an EQ plug-in in pro tools, but having a hardware option too is a nice benefit
How to connect that into computer? For live-streaming any vlogs demo and settings pls… plans to buy it. Need for my Yt Live-streaming. I am using Behringer XenyxQX1002 and Yamaha AG03 but I am not satisfied.. any suggestions thanks
Headphone jack click click click, ahhhh that's a TRS, click, click, click. lol other then all that click, click, click , good video.
point taken & thanks
Forget the haters about the screwdriver tapping (but maybe next time, something soft tipped)...is there any way to go straight from this to the PC? What would would be the best way - and what would be the easiest way?
That tapping screwdriver ruined this video for me. Why in the world?! I’ve never seen this in any other demo video.
Good demo thanks , maybe use a wooden pointer next time (banging with the screwdriver got pretty annoying )
Can we use two 6 inches speakers directly for singing? Waiting for your response.
Hi Yusif, thanks so much for the video! I brought this mixer last week and it’s great to know how it works! I have a small problem here if you may help please! The when I use the headphone, there is a constant hiss noise coming through. Not clean as your test at all.. can you advise please? Thanks so much!
it's hard to say. could be the balance between the preamp and headphone amp. balance between the preamp and output level. could be a faulty cable. faulty instrument or microphone. it's hard to diagnose without more info. what are you trying to listen back to?
Hi Yuisif, can you make a demo review and tutorial for Makie mixer? I have CFX 12 but cannot make good sound as the simple MG06X. Cannot figure it out yet.. Thankx
Hi John, thanks for the request. What are you having trouble with in particular? While I do not own that particular mixer, I do have a Mackie Onyx 1640i, which is very similar to your mixer. Thanks for the idea!! When I get back to making videos again regularly (which should be soon) I will do a demo review of that mixer :)))
Good review but sick that screwdriver you kow where.
I have been using this mixer for over a year as a beginner DJ with a beginner DJ controller. I like it but wish it had a mute button for mic line.
nershara, yes a mute and solo on the preamps would be nice. I suspect that this would add cost and size in a mixer that is aimed to fit in your hand, though :)))) thanks so much for your comment
Hi Yusif, thanks a lot for your great video. I have just subcribed to your channel. I have just one question about the 3/4 stereo input. (Because there is no Mono/ Stereo button like there is for input 1/2.) Are you hearing a Stereo output, I mean imagine if there was a balance knob and L was set maximum on the left and R as the maximum on the right ? Or do you hear a mono result as a sommation of L+R as if these two knobs were in middle position ? I plan to use the MG06X for karaoke and have my music source one 3/4 but, I do not want it to sound mono. Thank you very much for your help..
I'm not sure if it sums 3/4 to Mono, I would assume yes. On the other hand, I run karaoke on this once a week using a single speaker as an output, so I'm not concerned with that. But for your purposes I think it should work great. Nobody will notice, even if it is summed to mono. You will still hear the music normally, it won't sound weird. Good luck!
Good info about the mixer. Not enough taps imo 🤣
lol
Hi Man. What do you think about the RCF F 6x ? Or this Yamaha? All I got in my room is RCF Brand, Sub, Speakers etc. And I need to tell you, it's sound amazing, cristal clean, RCF it's amazing sound quality, and now I need a small mixer. So, what do you think?
I also have DB technologie de 15" same as RCF i think RCF mixer will recognize our speakers and sound amazing
Thank you for this. Can you have 4 sets of in ear headphones running out of this?
that is a lot of people for this little mixer! kudos to you for maximizing the gear :) I don't see why you couldn't run the main output of this mixer to a headphone amp or wireless iem receiver. of course you won't be able to cue up multiple aux mixes for each person, which is the point of iem, but if you all want the same mix in your earphones live then yeah this should be ok i'd say.
u can connect it to your labtop bluetooth
Great review! Question for you! I’m a DJ and I’d like to know how I could connect a powered subwoofer to this mixer?
yo its been a year did you find a solution lmao i have the same question
Lol! I never received an answer
This looks like a great little mixer. What about if I have 2 electronic drum modules on a large kit. Would it be good to mix every pads coming in together (cause I have too much pads for only 1 module)
what are the outputs on your electronic drum kit? what is the make & model? that way i can help you
@@YusifRefae
Both Roland TD4 and TD17
Outputs are L/R 1/4in (6.35mm)
Can we do voice recording while playing music background for this?
yes, but you need a usb soundcard to do recording with this
Am planning to purchase this one coz am making reaction video for my youtube channel...can you check it for me please if it's working on voice recording while playing music background at the same time...🙏
@@YusifRefae thanks a lot bro....am your new subscribe r from philippines
@@jaysonalvasanofficial mabuhay! my wife's family is Filipino. Ilocos Norte! i recommend focusrite scarlett for simple podcasts and youtube, keep in touch, i'm in Kuwait bro
Hi can I use this for my karaoke usa machine model gf920 mic 1/4 🎤 to the processor mixer and 1/4 cable to the karaoke usa machine ?
Good day. I understand the effects are only on 1 and 2 channels? 3,4,5,6 no? Thanks.
yes that's right.
An acoustic guitar with pickup can be plugged into mixer but can you use the FX effects. Am I right in assuming that the guitar must not be plugged into the mic 1 & 2 inputs because of the signal sensitivity?
that's a good question. it depends on your pickup and how loud you want your guitar to be. if your pickup is a magnet i think you can go straight into the mic inputs and crank it up to stadium volumes. if your pickup is a mic that might cause feedback, although if you use one of those rubber thingies it might be ok at low to medium levels. in either case i wouldn't recommend going straight in as the best option. Zoom makes a great acoustic pedal for under $200. I use a small acoustic amp that has FX and was in the same price range. It lets you plug in a vocal mic too! I use it to do karaoke and stuff all the time! You can plug an electric with a SansAmp in too. For small to medium cafes, pubs, restaurants, etc you could probably get away with it tho. This mixer is just not the greatest for acoustic guitar. Acoustic is so hard to do live, I've done it a lot, it never sounds like it does on your high end mics in the studio with perfect precision it almost always sounds like a cheap imitation of the real thing, even when i see super pro shows, it's just the physics of the instrument. part of why the electric guitar revolutionized music!
Will it be useful for a dj equipment, controller, mic and auxillary for a phone. ??
i'm not sure about your specific equpment's outputs, but yes in general i think this mixer would be able to handle all that. you might have to run your controller or dj equipment in mono, depending on the outputs of your gear
Would one of these be good for hooking up an mpc live 2 to other synths? I'm new to Dawless production and would like to know if I should buy a mixer when I buy an mpc?
i'm sorry i don't know much about MPCs. as i've never used one i'm afraid i can't be of much help to you
Will this power the 250 ohm beyerdynamic dt 770 pro perfectly with no problems at a high volume with no distortion or hum or noise? Thanks in advance! Great video! :)
Hi there Not Neal :) I took a look at those headphones and I think they will be fine. The Yamaha MG06x has a dedicated headphone amp that drives a TRS output socket. So far every set of ear buds or headphones I've plugged in have sounded great. Now, if you want to use this thing to reference a mix or master a track, I'd say I'm not sure. But for basic tracking & production, DJing, live sound, etc you're good to go I would say. But, don't listen TOO loud on those phones my friend! Save your ears a bit :))) Hope this helps
@@YusifRefae Haha thanks Yusif! Yea I have sensitive ears, I couldn't blast something if I wanted to. Not for a long period of time anyways. lol
If I may ask, why do you think I wouldn't be able to use this for referencing and mixing? Do you think the mixers amp will only give me volume but not the audio quality I need to get the best performance out of these 250 Ohm headphones? Also, out of the headphones you've tried, have you ever used 250 Ohm headphones with this mixer? If so, at loud, but not painfully loud volumes, did you hear any hiss or noise floor at any point?
Basically, what I'm trying to do is, I have 2 Yamaha 502 drum modules that I've combined to make one big prog electric drumset, and the L and R output of both modules would then go into channels 3/4 and 5/6 of this mixer. Then I want to listen to playback of both with the headphone out. The only problem is, I want them to be able to power those 250 Ohm headphones, then to record them, I will be going from the L and R output into an audio interface, or splitting the headphone out to headphones on one end, and 1/4 to 3.5mm cable on the other, that will go into the 3.5mm mic in port of my mac. So, I need to these headphones to be able to have enough volume, but then there's the quality aspect of the headphones, can this mixers amp output enough power to be able to "open up" these headphones, as they say and give me the great audio quality I need. The reason I need great audio quality, is because I will sometimes track drums for a song on them, and I'll be editing the drums right on the module, that will then go into the song, and I won't be able to edit them any more than normal once I've recorded them. Like I can eq them and stuff, but I mean like the tones and textures of each drum sound, I want them to fit the song perfect, so I need headphones that are meant for critical listening and mixing, so I need an amp that can allow me to do that and in good quality. I would get 80 Ohm headphones, but idk if 80 Ohms are really meant for critical listening? I heard only headphones that are 250 Ohms and up are meant for that. So I'm a bit lost there. I mean.. IF I can find 80 Ohm headphones that are extremely flat, and wont make my hears sweat. lol That's very important too. I'd jump on those, but I haven't found any yet.
Thanks for your advice though man! I really appreciate it!
@@NealNot so there’s a lot here haha I’ll try to help you as best I can. In general you shouldn’t mix or master using headphones. You should use speakers. Headphones can be great as a secondary reference but not as a primary mixing or mastering tool. This is coming from someone who loves to track, record, and produce on headphones. Sadly, the way the physics work, mixes done on speakers in a tuned room translate best to the variety of listening environments out there in the world that your mix will be going into.
I can’t speak to the 250 Ohm thing, so I’m not sure there, sorry. I wouldn’t split the headphones out with a Y-cable, that will typically give like a 10dB reduction in signal (sounds half as loud).
Ya, as I’m reading more of your questions, I’d say forget about the Ohm thing. There is a lot of snake oil, hype, and marketing done by manufacturers, so be wary of that. The impedance of your headphones doesn’t really matter. Finding a pair that you vibe with and getting familiar with them, getting used to the way they sound relative to your speakers is way more important.
Also, mixing and EQing your tracks on some speakers in a room that’s treated will be a million times better than mixing on headphones. I know this might not be the answer you want to hear, and it took me years to understand this, but mixing primarily on headphones is a big no-no in the mixing/production world :))) Like I said, they are good to use when you get tired of listening to your speakers, to get a different point of view on your mix. They let you hear details you might have missed or overlooked using speakers. But headphones are not necessary or even preferable to mix with as a primary tool. Your bread and butter needs to be some good studio monitor speakers.
FWIW I use Shure SRH 840 for this purpose, to double-check mixes, and for tracking and recording. I like that the ear phone padding and cable are replacable, so that I only have to spend $15 to $20 when they wear out, rather than dropping hundreds on a new pair of phones.
But I always use speakers to do most of the heavy mixing work. In my experience the Sennheiser headphones wear out too quickly. Also, for headphones, the frequency range is more important than the impedance. The Shures I mentioned go from 5Hz to 25kHz. Normal human hearing is like 30Hz to 18kHz at best, when you’re a little kid LOL. (high frequency hearing reduces significantly with age, it's a sad fact LOL). So, anything that’s in the 20Hz to 20kHz range is gonna be great for double-checking a mix. That's what I look for with speakers & phones: 20Hz to 20,000Hz range. Here’s a link for ya to those headphones, I hope this stuff helps ;)) But ya my phones sound perfectly fine and the same with the Yamaha headphone amp so I wouldn't get too caught up about the impedance.

I wonder how do we connect a wireless mic on it?
Thanks for the info bro! Can i connect this mixer to a bluetooth microphone?
no Bluetooth on this unfortunately. other mixers do feature that tho, so check around if it's a dealbreaker
Thanks for the reply bro, how about Bose L1 compact. I can connect this yamaha mixer? Have up coming videoke party. I wonder if this should work
OH such a pity for me that it doesnt have a phantom power split for both channels individually. That sucks for me. Good review
it is a downside :) thanks!
@@YusifRefae Now wait up, actually, i kept reading up and found out that the phantom power goes only to XLR, and not to 6,3mm jack. So It´s all good! I can plug a condenser in, turn on phantom power to both channels, but still use the second channel for a dynamic mic without phantom power, only i have to use the jack option and not the XLR.
Great presentation. One suggestion: please stop tapping your equipment with your screwdriver!! Maybe try using something with a soft end so you can show the different features because that is quite helpful. Good luck! And thanks!
I am confused about the +48 V..when to used or switch it on? Thank you🙂
you typically only use +48V (phantom power) when using a condenser microphone. if you are using a dynamic microphone you don't need phantom power. using phantom with ribbon mics can destroy them. never plug a mic in with phantom power on. always plug in the mics first and THEN turn on the phantom. hope this helps bro
Can I plug my keyboard into either 1 and 2 port to use the effects for keyboard?
yes, anything you plug in to Channels 1 & 2 will receive FX if you want and you could plug in almost any instrument or microphone you could think of and that would work :) thanks for your question
Hi Yusif! Can I connect my phone to the instrument channel for backing tracks?
hi there, yes you can. you need an adapter than converts your phone's output (1/8" to two 1/4" Y-cable works well for this). This is actually how i have an iMac set up: 1/8" to stereo 1/4" output to the mixer, so the sound from iMac is directly in the mixer. the same idea will work with a phone.
Thank you 🙏🏻
@yusif wplease hellllp!! I have the same mixer, I ran my tv audio out to the mixer in and then from the mixer out to my avr receiver input. The audio from the tv plays fine through my avr receiver speakers but I hooked up my microphone just like you did to L1 but no sound from the mic to my speakers. I adjusted the gain level and volume knob for L1 but still no sound from microphone. Please help! Weird that the tv audio plays fine Turu the mixer to my avr speakers which means my connections are correct. I even tried L2 input for the mic but still no audio from my mic. Please help!!!
Good to hear you've got your TV audio working, I've got my TV hooked up using this mixer as well. If you want to plug in your mic, you'll have to run it into either channel 1 or channel 2, as those channels have preamps. I suspect you are running your mic into channels 3-6, which do not have preamps on them, so your mic would be too quiet. Let me know if this helps. If not, a picture of your setup would help me guide you better. thanks!
So if I have my microphone into a seperate piece of hardware, and from that piece of hardware if I use two XLR outs into channel 1 & channel 2 and press the stereo button, it would be true stereo? So that way I can use 3/4 & 5/6 for other things?
why would you want to run 1 mic in stereo? unless you have stereo fx like auto-pan or something going on. otherwise just run a mono xlr our (usually left channel) from your hardware. you can run your mic in stereo on this thing. tho i do remember testing it 10 yrs ago and getting some bleed from L to R even in stereo mode, so I'm not sure how "true" the stereo on it is... only one way to find out!! bring your hardware down to your local music store, hook it up, and test it!! : - )
the bleed might have been fx bleed now that i remember... it was a looonnng time ago hahaha
@@YusifRefaehey man, was going to buy a boss ve500, just for all the cool stereo effects? But im thinking its kind of dumb as vocals should or atleast sound better centered. Right? Should I stop thinking stereo is the best for everything? Lol
Does it support wireless mic?
Is this battery powered? If not can u recommend a mixer with reverb that is
no it requires a wall-wort that runs on 12V AC power. however, I have been able to mount this on numerous pedal boards, so the power requirements aren't daunting and can be overcome with a little ingenuity. sorry, I don't know of any small battery-powered mixers, however there should be some out there
Can this also be used as the one you have on your “loop anything” video? I’m looking to have a set up like the one you show on that video but I don’t want to break bank right now, will this audio mixer do the trick?
The Yamaha MG06x will definitely work the same to loop multiple instruments. Of course, the Soundcraft mixer I was using in the other video will give you more inputs (more instruments). But there is no reason you couldn't hook up a mic, a bass, a keyboard, and a guitar all to this little 6-channel mixer and run that into your looper. It will work for sure. If you have any troubles, let me know and I'll help you out! Happy experimenting :)
@@YusifRefae Thanks ❤️❤️❤️! I’ll let you know how everything goes, I notice you use an aux out to the loop and the loop back to an input, what will I use as and aux out on this model? I trust you! I’ll order it and go from there
@@Omiss20 won't be able to do that particular trick on the mg06x- no aux sends :)
Is the MG06X good for a live band? We have a problem hearing lyrics overs drums and guitars
I wouldn't use this for a whole band. If you're going to use it as a sub-mixer for 1-2 people doing vocals and guitar, have the output of the mg06 feed into a console, then ya I think it would be great for that. But to try to run a drum kit and bass and electric guitar through this thing, no, you should get the next level or two up with more mic pres
Can I do the XLR stereo outputs (top right blue marked ones) directly to XLR studio monitors?
definitely, although I've never tried it. your studio monitors would need to be powered (have an amp inside each speaker) otherwise you'd need to go xlr--->amplifier---> speakers
@@YusifRefae Thanks!
How did you place it in a pedal board? I'm thinking about using something like this as a submixer in front of a looper.
I just used a few pieces of velcro :))) it's really perfect for pedalboards... two mic inputs w/ delay & reverb & EQ & routing... plus multiple instrument inputs... what more can you ask?? :-)
@@YusifRefae Well, pan controls would be nice. :) I'd like to be able to pan some of the effects to get a wide stereo image, but not extreme left/right like what the stereo button does on the Yamaha. I'm comparing this to the smallest Allen & Heath ZEDi mixers, which have pan controls and USB audio, but the internal power supply makes the chassis bigger. Can't have everything in this size, I guess.
@@yzimsx ya i imagine Yamaha considered adding pan & USB to it but like you say, it would make the footprint much larger...
@@YusifRefae FWIW, I ended up buying a Soundcraft Notepad 8FX for my pedal board. It cost twice as much, but it allows me to do all the routings I had in mind. The main input is a stereo pair from an amp sim + delay + reverb chain, and in addition to that I add mono dry/effect signals from EHX Bass9, Superego+ and others, with chorus and delay or reverb so that every component gets just the right space in the mix. The Notepad's effect sends are pre-fader (or pre-volume-knob since there are no faders), which means I can get a 100% wet chorus+delay for the Superego+, which adds like a synth pad. The only downside is, it takes quite a bit of space.
@@yzimsx that's awesome man! i love soundcraft gear. have an MTK12 mixer i use for live stuff. i've been pretty impressed with the quality of sound & build on the mixer so far. it sounds like you have a lot of complicated FX loops you need for your pedalboard, so that real estate is justified haha
When you say for studio you need with this an interface, would an H4 n Pro count as an interface?
if you're referring to a Zoom H4, that is a standalone recorder. you can record WAV or other audio files onto the H4 and sync to video later. an interface is what would take the output of the mixer into the computer. it's a neat little solution to add this little mixer to an interface. doing so expands the capabilities of an interface like the scarlett or any small two channel box (there are a ton these days, SSL have a nice one out) by giving you more external control. i hope this helps
@@YusifRefae Pretty sure the Zoom H4n also has audio interface capabilities so technically you should be able to plug LR output of mixer to Channel 1 and 2 (stereo) of H4n and have a mix sent to the computer.
@@wavester46 I have a Zoom H6, and I don't think so. While it's true you can send a LR output to a digital input on a PC, I wouldn't recommend doing so, as the quality of the typical PC's soundcard input won't be great. I don't think the Zoom H4n and Zoom H6 have ADDA (analog to digital, digital to analog) converters built in, unless I'm mistaken. Oh wait, I stand corrected, I just checked Amazon, it says there's a 4 in/2 out USB interface on the PRO version. This is a new feature, I guess. So I guess the conclusion is either get the PRO version or get a soundcard if you have the non-USB Zoom model :))))
How can we have playback music for playing guitar in this mixer without laptop!?
you can plug a phone or any mp3 player device into an aux 1/8 inch jack and have a left and right TS cable split on the other end. It plugs into the mixer into either the mic preamp or the instrument channel. You could also use RCA plugs probably if you have them. let me know how it works out, good luck.
I Got one at a yard sale for $20. I don't know much about it other than it turns on. Do you need some kind of power booster, or is it build in?
12V AC power adapter comes with it (check the back of the unit. you can buy the adapter for cheap if you need it). there is also 48V phantom power onboard for condenser mics. $20 is a steal for this mixer! Have fun
I can't with the flathead as a tapping pointer. Thanks though
Can 3/4 or 5/6 be used as an effects loop ?
i'm not sure. there is no direct out on any channel, or insert anywhere, given the small footprint and low price. you can't assign submixes either, so i'm not sure. that might be a tough one to pull off. you might want a different mixer like the SSL Six for this type of application. there are more budget options as well. hope this helps, happy FX-ing :)
How does this mixer work if I wanted to run a Sax thru it ?
It depends. If you're using a dynamic mic for the sax, then just plug the mic in. If you're using a condenser mic, plug in the mic and turn on phantom (be sure there is not a ribbon mic plugged in, as +48V goes to BOTH channels on this mixer when you engage the switch). If your sax is electric or has an output, you can plug it in like an instrument with a TS cable. All the FX and EQ will work regardless of what method you use. I hope this helps you, good luck
Please tell me I am planning to buy this mixer for karaoke to sing with friends which is better to take Yamaha MG06 or Yamaha MG10XU?
The 10 xu is better, I bought 1 for my friend and I should get one too, get one if you can cuz most of the place I looked at are out of stock, mg10xu has karaoke mode on it, and the gain input is amazing, make sure to push -26db to avoid feedback.
Ya.. the ckick click was really really irritating for sure.... but the review and demo was the best on TH-cam..
He should have used a wooden pencil lol
I need a drink... AH maybe a SCREWDRIVER...
can I plug this into active subwoofer by any ways?
i wouldn't, tbh, although I think you probably can do it, but do it at your own risk! if you've got subs i'd recommend you use a more specialized, full-scale mixer
Can I connect this directly to a amp or do I need a pream to?
it depends on what you want to connect. this has 2 mic preamps. you can plug in a bass, guitar, or synth too. you don't need this to plug an instrument into an amp though, so again, it depends on what you wanna do
@@YusifRefae Thanks for your response. I want to connect a mic, so I guess im ok
hi, i used to sing karaoke from youtube downloaded offline tracks. what machines do i need to perform a smooth song in front of 50/100 audience? Mixer, Amplifier, Speaker are they OK?
hi, I think for a small karaoke event you would need only a small mixer like this and a speaker system. for small events, i would recommend 10" or 12" ACTIVE speakers (speakers that have the amplifier built-in to them) rather than a passive speaker system (where the amplifier and speaker cabinet are separated). i hope this helps you, best of luck
@@YusifRefae lovely, thanks for your kind response
@@yahyamunna1583 any time my friend
Can i listen music on mic input ?
Yes you can, you can also use the EQ's and FX on music.
Hi🖐Has this mixer any bloutuce!?
sorry there is no Blue Tooth on this mixer
Can I use audio interface or soundcard with mg06x?
unfortunately, there is no USB. for the small size and low price that is a compromise. if you paired this with a 2 channel USB interface it would be a pretty amazing portable recording studio though!
@@YusifRefae Thank you sir

Bass Guitar into my HiFi/Stereo...................?
Yes? Looks like I can plug my stereo PreAmp XLR's into channels 1&2 (stereo button), My Bass 1/4" into channel 3 and then stereo XLR's out to my amplifier. Correct?
Then while I'm listening to music on my stereo, I can practice Bass along with the music. Is that correct? That would be really cool.
I wouldn't use a hifi home stereo. you might blow out the speakers with your bass. sounds like an active powered speaker would solve your problem. a powered 12 inch speaker, or a bass amp, paired with this mixer, would be a small, light, flexible, powerful, portable setup! And yes you can play along to music, but there is no dedicated aux in, so you have to use up channels 5 and 6 (a stereo input channel) to put the music system into the mixer. Then plug your bass and preamp into the mixer, send the mixer to the speaker via XLR, that'll work
@@YusifRefae
Well, thank-you very much Yusif. I appreciate you fielding viewer questions and so fast!
Peace

Damn dude the screwdriver
May katanungan lang Po Ako saan ba natin IPA connect sa sound card at ano Ang pangalan sa accessories
Mids are missing. The most important one
for the small footprint tho, it's impressive it has EQ at all!!
Can i send my tv sound to this mixer?
yes but you would need the correct cable to do so.
Click click click - six outputs??
Hy. this is good for Dj partys? i have to yamaha dbr 15 . 10x
this just might do the trick ; )
@@YusifRefae thank you. 😎
Thanks so much. The banging of the screwdriver pointing everything out is really, really annoying. Why not use something that doesn’t “clank”? Just a suggestion Brother for future review videos. Great & informative otherwise. Have a great day!!!
Even putting the level up when I connect my mic it doesn't sound
what type of mic? condenser? is your cable an xlr or 1/4"? double check your cable. how are you listening back- thru headphones or speakers. again, double check your cables for that. is the mic gain knob up? it could be a lot of things. check every part of the signal path. lmk if you still need help. hope you get this to work out
@@YusifRefae thank you so much I'll let you know how it goes, I'm using sm 57
@@havenlane992 ok so phantom power isn't the issue since your mic doesn't need power
Can i connect guitar pedals to this mixer?? Do i need extra Gear??
yes, since guitar pedals are instrument-level signals, you can plug your pedalboard in directly. i'd recommend the instrument side (channels 3/4 or 5/6), not the preamp side (1/2), altho the preamp would be fine if you pad it (it's a 26db pad). HOWEVER: if you're going to hook up your electric guitar directly i STRONGLY advise you to include an AMP SIMULATOR or speaker simulator in your effects chain, otherwise your tone will sound pretty bad. Going directly into a soundboard with something like a SansAmp GT2 (what I use for this purpose) is night and day when compared to a DI pedalboard without a simulator. I have a few videos on this channel that talk about this, check 'em out if you'd like, thanks for your question : )
@@YusifRefae i want to use guitar pedals but i dont use a guitar.. I need the pedals to add reverb and delay to my flute.
So the Plan is:
connect my condensor mic to Channel 1 and pan it to left,
take the stereo output (?) to enter in pedals and come back to Channel 3 and 4 and pan to the right.
Connect the xlr output to my Audio interface so i have the dry and wet recorded.
Do you think it can work???
Thanks a lot to share Your Experience!
@@vecchiuz2143 ok to do this I think you'll need a Reamper (check my video on that) since a microphone needs to bounce down to instrumental level signal go through guitar pedals correctly. With a reamper this should work fine. It's a bit unconventional and companies like TC Helicon make 'vocal' pedals specifically for this problem. Those would work with your flute. Actually, this mixer has reverb and delay on it, so unless you need something different FX-wise, why not just plug the condenser mic in and use the onboard FX? There are a lot of options
@@YusifRefae you are right!
Another Option could be:
Enter with condensor mic in a tube pre amp (it is also good to warm a bit the flute) or just a phantom supply than enter to pedals and than directly to audio interface. No dry Signal recorded.
What do you think about that?
I dont want to use the preset fx, i like much better the Sound from the pedals.
great helpful review but that screwdriver tapping was uber annoying.🙄
People need quality reverb.we buy a JBL prxone & the reverb is nothing but a $10 guitar amplifier reverb
this mixer has a pretty nice sounding reverbs and delays with a few different settings on it. : - )
„should go to eleven baby“ 😂
for using it on a pedalboard-power supply: how much mA does this unit need?
12 Volts, 1.5 Amps wall wort (you could get away with 1 Amp probably)
Good video. Please no more screwdriver 🙏
I got a fever and the only remedy is more clicking screw driver!!!
the only prescription lol
The moment you tap something with a screwdriver it stops being new. You just devalued that by mixer by at least 50% of its value. One tap, that's all it takes...
