MW12CX DESCRIPTION
 
This USB Mixer Turns Your Desktop into a Recording Studio!
The Yamaha MW12CX Mixing Studio USB mixer and software makes it easy to get great recordings, straight from your computer. The MW12CX features 12 inputs, including six balanced mic inputs with phantom power. Easy control over monitor mixes, one-knob compression, and premium onboard DSP effects are also included. Assignable busses allow you to easily route channels for recording, while plug-and play USB connectivity gives you a hassle free, high-quality digital connection to your computer. Cubase AI4 recording and sequencing software is included with the MW12CX.

Yamaha MW12CX Mixing Studio USB Mixer with Onboard Effects at a Glance:
  • Flexible 12-channel configuration
  • Assignable record busses
  • Easy-to-use 1-knob compression, Monitor Mix feature
  • Easy-access panel and high-quality parts
  • Built-in SPX effects

Flexible 12-channel configuration
The MW12CX gives you a total of twelve inputs, including four mono microphone/line inputs and four stereo line inputs. Two of the stereo line inputs can also function as mono microphone inputs, providing up to six simultaneous microphone inputs if you need them. The high-performance ultra-low-noise balanced microphone inputs also have a phantom power switch, allowing you to take advantage of the superior sonic quality of professional-level condenser microphones.

Assignable record busses
In addition to the normal stereo buss, the MW12CX has assignable busses (REC OUT). This feature gives you added flexibility in routing the signals for recording and monitoring. Turning on the ON switch for any channel immediately routes that channel to the USB terminal and enables it for recording. Multiple channels selected in this way are, of course, recorded to a stereo mix on the computer. In this condition, each channel is also mixed to the stereo buss and can be monitored (with the Monitor Mix function).       
                     
Easy-to-use 1-knob compression, Monitor Mix feature              
The MW12CX's innovative 1-knob analog compressor (on the mono input channels) lets you dial in just the amount of compression you need in recording, without having to set multiple parameters like threshold, ratio and makeup gain. One knob does it all for you-instantly giving you great, punchy sound. The convenient Monitor Mix feature gives you simple control over the balance between the signals being recorded and the playback signals being monitored. This is particularly helpful when recording several sources at the same time, letting you use a single knob to adjust the balance of the playback and recording signals for monitoring purposes. Naturally, this doesn't affect the recording level; it simply allows you to control what you want to hear.       

Easy-access panel and high-quality parts                     
Top-mounted input and output connectors make setting up and re-patching your system quick and easy. Both models feature high-quality Neutrik balanced XLR connectors for the microphone inputs. Long-throw, smooth-action faders give you precise and tactile control over signal levels. The mixer also has a bright and large 12-segment LED meter for visual signal indication.              

Built-in SPX effects
For those who like the convenience of having signal processing right inside the mixer, the MW12CX incorporates a versatile digital multi-effect unit that provides a variety of reverb, delay, modulation, and distortion programs you can use to enhance your sound, or completely transform it-without the need for an external device. Each of the 16 effect programs has a number of editable parameters as well as effect on/off switching capability and return level control. If you need to keep both hands free to play an instrument or perform other operations, an optional footswitch can be connected to the mixer's effect footswitch jack for convenient on/off switching.       
                     
                     
Yamaha MW12CX Mixing Studio USB Mixer with Onboard Effects Features:
  • 12 inputs with 6 ultra-low noise mic preamps
  • Insert I/Os for adding compressors, gates and FX

  • Pan, EQ, and high pass filter on each channel

“i actually use the yamaha mw12. that one is the same exact thing except it doesn't have any compression or effects so i can't rate those. so i mainly use this thing to route all my inputs to from external gear like seperate recorders and cd players so my monitors are hooked up to them. i also run anything out of my computer into this thing and through the speakers. i don't use this thing for...” Read More
