Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of the YAMAHA MG32/14FX or MG24/14FX mixing console.
This console offers excellent cost-performance and is ideal for use as the main mixer in an
SR setup or as part of an installed system.
Please read through this Owner’s Manual carefully before beginning use, so that you will be
able to take full advantage of the mixer’s superlative features and enjoy trouble-free operation
for years to come. Be sure to retain this manual in a safe place.

Provides 24 (MG32/14FX) or 16 (MG24/14FX) monaural input
channels suitable for connection to both microphones and
line-level devices. Also provides four line-level stereo inputs.

Built-in dual digital effector, based on Yamaha’s acclaimed SPX
multi-effector technology, can apply a variety of internal effects
to both vocal and instrumental inputs.

Convenient tap delay feature lets you set the internal effects
delay time by tapping on a button (or by stepping on a sepa-
rately-sold foot switch).

Provides dual stereo outputs, two effect outputs, six AUX out-
puts, and four group outputsfor a total of 14 outputs. You can
use the AUX and GROUP outputs both to connect to external
devices (such as effectors and MTRs) and to create custom
mixes for targeted speakers or amps for stage monitoring.

An independently controlled MONO output jack feeds out a mix
of the main ST output signal, ideal for connection to a subwoofer
or other SR system extension.

All monaural channels are equipped with an INSERT I/O jack
for independent connection to an external effector.

Includes independent PFL switches for each input channel, for
each AUX return, and for the 2TR IN bus, together with inde-
pendent AFL switches for each AUX and GROUP output and for
the main ST output. These switches make it easy to selectively
monitor the input and output signals through headphones con-
nected to the PHONES jack.

Phantom power supply can provide DC +48 power to all XLR
input jacks, allowing you to connect phantom-powered con-
denser mics and direct boxes to any combination of monaural
channels. The phantom power can be independently switched on
and off in eight-channel blocks.

Dual RETURN jacks can feed AUX return signals not only into
the ST bus but also into four of the AUX buses. These jacks can
also serve as an auxiliary stereo input.
