Yamaha MG 10/2

[pantone247]

I'm thinking of getting one, they look sort of great... getting it as a front end sort of pre-amp, Eq stage before running into my i-mac... maybe do a kit and send it in on stereo... It's totally a lo-fi home reocording hooby thing.

Anything I should know or be aware of before I throw down the "BIG BUCKS" on this baby???

Thanks!

I have one. I love it. I run drums through it into my iMac. On occasion I use it in front of my 4-track as well.

If you're sure you're really ready to shell out the big bucks for this thing... watch out. There are some shysters trying to sell this thing for $99 when you can easily get it other places for $96.

They're cool, but don't expect many signal routing options or outs. the coolest thing is that it's pretty small, sounds decent and provides phantom power.

yea, i sell these at work. they're a great budget mini mixer. quiet with some decent dynamic range.

I had an MG 16/4 and over all it was a nice mixer. I just didn't like the fact that I couldn't Monitor the music going into my MOTU 828 which is why I bought the Mackie 1604 with direct outs. It would have been nice to have kept it but I needed the money for the Mackie. If the Imac lets you monitor the sounds, unlike the MOTU 828 where you only monitor 2 channels at a time, then go ahead and get it. I got some good sounds out of mine. It has some nice preamps.

One is on its way to me (eBay: 50 bucks!!). Will report back on preamp quality, etc. For such low $, seems to have lots of features.

this is great, it sounds like just what I'm looking for

thanks for the help dudes!
