Yamaha 14FX MG32/14FX MG24/14FX Owners Manual - Page 6

Introduction Thank you for your purchase of the YAMAHA MG32/14FX or MG24/14FX mixing console. This console offers excellent cost-performance and is ideal for use as the main mixer in an SR setup or as part of an installed system. Please read through this Owner's Manual carefully before beginning use, so that you will be able to take full advantage of the mixer's superlative features and enjoy trouble-free operation for years to come. Be sure to retain this manual in a safe place. Features ● Provides 24 (MG32/14FX) or 16 (MG24/14FX) monaural input channels suitable for connection to both microphones and line-level devices. Also provides four line-level stereo inputs. ● Built-in dual digital effector, based on Yamaha's acclaimed SPX multi-effector technology, can apply a variety of internal effects to both vocal and instrumental inputs. ● Convenient "tap delay" feature lets you set the internal effect's delay time by tapping on a button (or by stepping on a separately-sold foot switch). ● Provides dual stereo outputs, two effect outputs, six AUX outputs, and four group outputs-for a total of 14 outputs. You can use the AUX and GROUP outputs both to connect to external devices (such as effectors and MTRs) and to create custom mixes for targeted speakers or amps for stage monitoring. ● An independently controlled MONO output jack feeds out a mix of the main ST output signal, ideal for connection to a subwoofer or other SR system extension. ● All monaural channels are equipped with an INSERT I/O jack for independent connection to an external effector. ● Includes independent PFL switches for each input channel, for each AUX return, and for the 2TR IN bus, together with independent AFL switches for each AUX and GROUP output and for the main ST output. These switches make it easy to selectively monitor the input and output signals through headphones connected to the PHONES jack. ● Phantom power supply can provide DC +48 power to all XLR input jacks, allowing you to connect phantom-powered condenser mics and direct boxes to any combination of monaural channels. The phantom power can be independently switched on and off in eight-channel blocks. ● Dual RETURN jacks can feed AUX return signals not only into the ST bus but also into four of the AUX buses. These jacks can also serve as an auxiliary stereo input.
