Switchable Phantom Power in Groups of 8 (1-8, 9-16, 17-24)
Mono input channels feature insert patch points that can be used to insert external signal-processing devices into the channel's signal path. Insert I/O points are also provided on the stereo bus (L and R) and on the four group buses.
Mid-sweep 3-band Mono Channel EQ, 4-band Stereo Channel EQ
3-band EQ with a 10 kHz shelving HIGH control, a 250 Hz ~ 5 kHz sweepable MID control, and a 100 Hz shelving LOW control. The microphone inputs also have switchable 80 Hz high-pass filters for low-frequency noise reduction.
The stereo channels feature 4-band EQ with 10 kHz HIGH, 3 kHz HI MID, 800 Hz LO MID, and 100 HZ LOW controls.
In addition to the main stereo bus that feeds the console's main outputs, the MG32/14FX features four group buses for convenient sub-mix grouping, six auxiliary buses for monitoring and external effect send, and send buses for the two internal effect processors.
All input channels have a total of six auxiliary sends: AUX send 1 through 4 can be switched for pre- or post-fader operation, while AUX sends 5 and 6 are post-fader. Two EFFECT sends are provided in addition to the six AUX sends. That's more than sufficient send capability to handle monitoring and effects for all but the most complex applications. Two stereo AUX returns are provided in addition to the internal effect returns, providing an extra margin of return versatility for wet monitoring, for example.
The mixer's main stereo program signal is simultaneously delivered to the main stereo outputs (XLR jacks), the sub-stereo outputs (phone jacks), the REC OUT connectors (RCA pin jacks), the mono out (XLR jack), and the headphones output (stereo phone jack). Independent phone-jack outputs are also provided for group buses 1 through 4.
A low-pass filter with a roll-off frequency that can be varied from 80 to 120Hz is provided on the mono output for convenient connection and optimum matching with a subwoofer.
Four high-visibility 12-segment meters are switchable to allow precise visual monitoring of levels on the main stereo bus, the four group buses, the stereo 2-track input, the PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) bus, or the AFL (After-Fader Listen) bus.
Two Yamaha digital signal processors that provide a useful selection of 16 advanced digital effects. Effect programs include reverb, delay, pitch change chorus, phaser, voice doubler, and distortion. The effects include editable parameters so they can be customized as required, and processor "B" even has a TAP switch for real-time tap-tempo entry. With these top-performance effect processors built in, you wont have to transport and set up racks of external effects to create your sound.
The channel ON switches, PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) switches and phantom power switches are original Yamaha illuminated types, so it's easy to visually check vital console settings.
A talkback microphone input is provided for easy, efficient communication between the sound engineer and musicians and staff in live-sound applications, during setup, rehearsal, and the actual performance.
