Yamaha Debuts Versatile MV12/6 Rack Mount Mixer Flexible, Feature-Packed Model Installs Anywhere (Click for a close-up) (Click for a close-up) September 28, 2000 Yamaha Commercial Audio has met the need for a high performance rack mount mixer with the introduction of the MV12/6 at AES 2000. This 7-space analog unit is ideal for small-to-midsize installations, studios, smaller PA systems, broadcast facilities and for touring applications as an input expander or submixer. For maximum installation flexibility, the mixer’s connector panel may be mounted on the top or the rear of the unit, allowing it to be installed in locations where it would be impossible to accommodate a standard mixer. "The MV12/6 packs a ton of features into a small package," states Larry Italia, national sales & marketing manager, Commercial Audio, Yamaha Corporation of America. "Yamaha engineers took extra effort in designing a product that not only sounds great, but is also easy to install." The MV12/6 features eight mic/line mono inputs and two stereo channels. Each mono channel contains a balanced XLR-type input connector (paralleled with a Euro Block). Channels 1-8 also contain individual +48V phantom power switches. Channels 1-4 contain balanced insert I/O with TRS _-in. jacks for effects patching. Channels 9/10 and 11/12 are stereo input channels with both RCA and Euro Block connectors. All channels feature a channel fader, three-band EQ (High, Mid, Low), two auxiliary sends (AUX 2 is switchable between pre- and post-fader modes), effect send and bus switches (for routing to groups 1/2, groups 3/4 and stereo outputs). Other channel features include a 44 dB gain trim, peak indicator and pan pot. Advertisement Signal from the 12 channel inputs may be routed to any of the four group or stereo busses for a maximum of six independent outputs. Groups 1/2 and 3/4 busses contain TO STEREO switches which route the signal to the stereo buss. The MV12/6 offers a total of 16 built-in digital effects, including Yamaha’s acclaimed reverb; the selected effect may be applied to the stereo out signal or group 1/2 and 3/4 signals. The stereo out signal may be further processed with the built-in 7-band graphic equalizer. "The Yamaha MV12/6 is truly a multi-task product," notes Dan Craik, product manager, Commercial Audio. "For anyone who needs excellent sound and versatility in a rack mount system for a smaller commercial application, the MV12/6 is an unbeatable choice." Like the mixer’s input section, the Stereo Out, Group Out 1-4 and Monitor Out all utilize Euro Block connectors for quick, easy and flexible connection. Stereo Out and Mono Out contain XLR connectors, while Group Out, Aux 1/2, Effect and Return contain _-in phone jacks. For recording purposes, the MV12/6 also features TAPE IN and REC OUT jacks, plus phone jacks for monitoring. For more information, visit www.yamaha.com.
