The Yamaha MG82CX is a great little mixer

This is a great sounding little mixer. It's quiet, the effects are understated, but very usable. Balanced T/S/R outputs. I just tried it in my studio and for the price it is a real steal.

Yamaha MG82cx

Great sounding mixer for the bucks! Very clean, efficient. Does everything as advertised, great effects, performs as promised. No complaints!

Nice Little Mixer

Bought this Yamaha mixer because the reviews I`ve read on it were better than others in it`s price range (even Mackie!). I bought it simply for use as my 2 mics- personal onstage monitor system to go with a JBL EON 515XT (the new and improved one). Must say it works very well and can more than keep up with the other monitors onstage. I send the FOH a send out the back of the JBL. Works out fine. The effects are ok I guess but I don`t really use them, maybe a touch of chorus and the built in compressor on vocal channels. I also engage the 80hz high pass filter to help eliminate rumble (vocal mics only in my case remember). Now that I have this setup, when I want I can incorporate my Ovation Custom Legend onstage without 'having to' buy an acoustic guitar amp as I have more channels left in the board(!). Cool.

Can't Be Beat For The Money

I have a larger, self-powered 16 channel Yamaha mixer, but I do a one man band and really didn't need all that extra weight and inputs. I only need four, and this is great for that.

The size and weight is ideal. I don't know about the big bulky AC transformer though. I pair this with a Crown XLS1500 at 300W @ 8 Ohm and power two EV SX300E killer cabinets and it's all I need to sound great. The key here is to be sure you have the best equipment for your job, just as a mechanic does. Junk equipment makes you sound like a junk performer. For quick setups and transportation and for the amount of plugins I need, this mixer does it all. I would have preferred sliders instead of knobs, and perhaps better reverb effects, but that’s my own preference. Otherwise, I recommend this unit...

Over All a Decent Value

The thing I like most about this full featured mixer is that it is most likely the lightest of all 8 Channel Mixers. Lets face it, in this price range your not buying a lot of new technology. With Yamaha you will get rock solid reliability (as long as your not abusive) and the basic features you need. With all the other stuff that I haul around to do my thing every ounce of weight counts - electronics of this nature do not need to be heavy, just reliable - and this one fills that bill for me. I think it is priced a little high for what it is but hey, people are paying it so must be worth it?

white noise

very good price but with alot of white noise too.
