The MG124cx is a mixer with a stereo digital effects processor inside and offers six microphone inputs on XLR jacks, phantom power is available. The first four channels of the Yamaha console are what I would call “dedicated” microphone channels, the next two channels in line, can be used as mic inputs or stereo line inputs. The main input channels feature a good sounding three-band eq, peak reading LED, gain, pan, aux (switchable between pre and post), effects, and pfl switch, in addition to a nice feeling 60mm fader.

The effects quality is about a good quality level.
The eight available reverbs are all usable to some degree, the “room” presets being my favourite. Also included are echo, flange, phase, chorus, ecc...
Additionally there are two stereo channels, which devoid of microphone inputs are for line level stereo signal use.
Also cool, are the lighted channel selection switches.
The Master section of the console has the faders for the stereo mains and ½ subgroups, also present are a two track input, headphone/monitor level, global phantom power switch, effects send and returns, the multieffects selection area, and a 12 segment LED meter.
The main outputs are on balanced XLR connections. TRS connectors comprise the rest of the I/O’S other than the record and playback inputs and the two stereo line input channels which have RCA inputs in tandem with the TRS inputs.
