Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of the YAMAHA MG10/2 mixing console. This mixing console
combines ease of operation with support for multiple usage environments.
Please read through this Owner’s Manual carefully before beginning use, so that you will be
able to take full advantage of this mixer’s superlative features and enjoy trouble-free operation
for years to come.

The MG10/2 provides ten input channels and mixes the signals
into Stereo output.

The monitor includes a convenient C-R OUT jack. This jack can
be used to monitor the main Stereo output, and the 2TR IN sig-
nals.

The mixer includes dual AUX SEND jacks and a single
RETURN jack. The two independent AUX buses may be used as
sends to external effectors and monitor systems.

Phantom power supply enables easy connection to condenser
microphones that run on external power.

The mixer provides channel-specific INSERT I/O jacks for input
channels 1 and 2. These jacks make it possible to insert different
effectors into different channels.

Input channels 1 and 2 are each equipped with both an XLR mic
input jack and a TRS phone-type line jack. Input channels 7/8
and 9/10 are each equipped with both a TRS line input jack and
an RCA line input jack. This wide assortment of connectors
enables connection to many different devices, from microphones
to line-level devices to stereo-output synthesizers.

You can mount the mixer to a microphone stand using the
optional BMS-10A adaptor.
