Wish they brought a new version of the mg06x with usb. I love that one

[@kettnercreative]

I agree. If they made a MG06XU, that would be awesome!

[@DJbernardo1320]

Me too ❤

[@sgteamx]

Great review! The 48v applying to both - if its a condenser that requires 48v and a dynamic that doesnt, would it spoil the dynamic mic?

[@angelitojacintoperalta8432]

Hi. Really, Great tutorials!! can You do a comparison between Yamaha AG06 MK2 and Mackie Profx6v3+? Thankss.

[@DJbernardo1320]

TRRS ! Good to hear ❤ The MUTE is great as well ❤

[@chrysanthemum3087]

Thanks so much for your reviews! I have a couple of questions-- does this work as a standalone mixer? And is it possible to to an effects send /return (using this as a pre-amp to connect a mic pre-amp, sending it to pedals, and then back into the device for recording?) Thanks os much for your help!

A few other notes:
* The MK1 requires Windows 7 or later; the MK2 is Windows 10 or later.
* The MK1 uses a program called AG DSP Controller to manage comp., EQ., etc. MK2 uses AG Controller. It copies the interface from the mobile app, which is crunched for phone screens but needlessly so for desktops. Most egregiously, you can't view Mic 1 and 2's EQ settings at the same time like you can on AG DSP Controller due to the mandatory portrait view.
* 2:28 Also, a curious note about mute: It doesn't work in "DRY 1-2" (DRY bypasses level setting, which is useful, but it also bypasses mute, which is just a binary setting).
(The Yamaha MG10XU and AG06 MK1 are the only even pro-sumer pieces of gear to pass through my grasp, so this is the extent of my wheelhouse, so to speak. Thanks for the overview!)

Hi, For a beginner who wants to also connect maybe to a dj console and also mby use the mixer for connecting mics to pc for discord/zoom/teams, what would you recomend? iIs an MG10XU enough?

[@kettnercreative]

I would say so. The MG10XU or ProFx10v3+ are both great options. The Mackie has more flexibility with Bluetooth and USB options.

[@TayfunOmer]

@@kettnercreative Thx

[@mathan9506]

pls compare yamaha mg series with soundcraft signature series

[@nicolassoto1605]

The problem with the MK2 is its software, when you save the options they are not saved, and whenever you start the software the options appear as default, and it does not let you load the saved options

[@sankarn.s5645]

If i connect main line output of a mixer to a pc , which input should i use ?? In pc one 3.5 mm is in pink colur and other one is blue colur

[@kettnercreative]

Pink is mic, green is headphones

[@sankarn.s5645]

@@kettnercreative mic means mic level signal??
