Yamaha MG06

Bought this as an upgrade from the Xenyx 502 as i needed an extra mic input, having a second set of outputs is also super handy for my setup too. I previously owned a Yamaha MG12/4 so i found this mixer simple to use and had it all setup really quick. Well happy with it.

I bought this Yamaha MG06 primarily to use for monitoring purposes for my drum set up when playing live. My monitor mix goes into the mixer along with click track from my Roland SPD-SX. I then go out to IEM'S via a hard wired Fischer belt pack. Does a great job and the features are amazing for such a small mixer.
It's well built, set out easily and feels like a good quality product.
Due to its size it's easily portable as well which is a big factor for me.
Yamaha make great products and I can't find fault with this so far, recommend.

Channel imbalance on main outs and channels 3/4. Wobbly chassis, weak mic pres. The plastic bit around the power button rattles.

I use mine to switch between two stereo in puts to my monitors. It has a lovely clear sound and gives a good visualization of level and a point of level adjustment if needed. A quality little unit. I love the fact that it has a power switch too.

Yamaha can deliver great quality. But also can deliver mediocre toys.
MG06 is exactly that. Mediocre sound quality and not very good build quality.
Small shall not mean bad, but for Yamaha it looks like that.
I have MG20XU and the quality is really incomparable. Bought that one for small pedalboard, and after few months replaced it with different brand.
I was never sure, if the volume will be equal between channels, and the mic preamps were just weak and ugly.
Sad, as it has great compact form.

Best mixer of this size to ever be in market.

Build quality is awesome, the box with which it came is sturdy, I won't even need a hard case for it, looks well protected in a carton as well.

And i'm not even talking about sound quality, it's a YAMAHA, you can't get better than this.

What I am personally missing is Compressor, but it is probably just too small to have this feature.

Bought to use with my active speakers and works great. Nice little mixer with lots of features. Bought a thomann case to use with it to keep it mint. Would recommend!

nice sound, small product, good for small events, fast installing.
