The mixer is recognised by the computer as a standard USB device, which means that you don't need to install any special drivers. The in-built USB audio interface can transfer two channels of audio simultaneously, to and from the desk to a connected Mac or PC. All the connections, other than power and the USB sockets, are on the top panel, and all the knobs' functions are grouped by cap colour. The mixer is built into a tough, plastic chassis with a metal front panel, and it is powered by an external adaptor which features a locking connector. Phantom power can be turned on for all the mic inputs via a switch in the master section. I chose to test the MW12CX, which offers a total of 12 audio inputs: four mono mic/line channels, fitted with switchable high-pass filters and one-knob compressors two channels that can be used as either mono mic or stereo line inputs and two further stereo line-level channels, which offer both jack and phono connectivity.

As you might guess, this is made possible by designing the mixers in Japan but having them built in China, where labour costs are still much lower.Įach of the four models in the MW series follows the same format, the only difference being the number of channels.

Where a small mixer is required for live sound or straightforward recording, Yamaha's MW-series USB Mixing Studios offer all the basics of an analogue mixer, as well as effects, 2-in/2-out USB connectivity and compressors on the mono channels - and all this comes at a very affordable price. Yamaha have now released their first such mixers, in the form of the MW and MG series, and I decided to take a look at one of each, taking the MW series first. There's been something of a resurgence in the small mixer market of late, and we've looked particularly at various analogue models that incorporate A-D converters and USB or Firewire functionality, as they seem a sensible choice for those starting out on home recording. These modestly priced small mixers from Yamaha offer plenty of functionality and a good clean signal path.
