Yamaha MW12C
Digital Mixer
What we think:
Turn Your Computer into a Complete Home Recording Studio
If you have a computer, laptop or desktop, Windows™ or Macintosh™ and
you want to make music with it, we've got the setup for you. The
new MW USB Mixing Studio series mixers give you everything you need to turn your
computer system into a complete, full-featured, high-performance home recording
studio. The new MW uses a single cable USB connection to interface
with your computer, for bi-directional audio data transfer. It
gives you comprehensive signal input and mixing features in a compact size. It
also includes the powerful Cubase AI4 music production software, allowing you to
capture your performances, embellish and enhance them with plug-in synths and
effects, and mix them down to stereo. In other words, the MW gives you all the elements of a
recording system, one that is remarkably easy to set up and operate.

Flexible
12-Channel Configuration
The
MW12C 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
Rec Out
In
addition to the normal stereo buss, the MW12C 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
Compression
- the taming of wildly varying levels in vocals, bass and guitar - is one of the
most important effects used in recording and mixing. It is also one of the most
subtle and difficult to use. Not with the new MW series mixers, however. The
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.
Monitor
Mix
This
convenient 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.
Channel
On Switches
Dedicated
On switches for each channel let you enable or disable (mute) individual input
channels as desired, while the lamps on the switches give you instant visual
indication about which channels are on.
