Yamaha MW Series Mixing Studios
MW8CX, MW10C, MW12C, MW12CX

The MW USB Mixing Studio series mixers give you everything you need to turn your computer system into a complete, full- featured, high-performance home recording studio. The MW uses a single cable USB connection to interface with your computer, for bi-directional audio data transfer.

It gives you comprehensive signal input and mixing features in a compact size. It also includes the powerful Cubase AI4 music production software, allowing you to capture your performances, embellish and enhance them with plug-in synths and effects, and mix them down to stereo.

Single USB Connection, Instant Studio
With Yamaha’s MW10C and MW8CX USB Mixing Studio mixers, making great music is easier than ever before. Combined with Cubase AI4 audio/MIDI sequencing software, the MW series provides a comprehensive tabletop studio setup for the solo recording musician and for the travelling producer/arranger.

The MW delivers true plug-and-play USB audio input/output interfacing - without the need for special software drivers - and lets you easily record mono inputs or two- track stereo mixes of multiple sources to your computer.

8-Channel and 10-Channel Configurations
The MW8CX gives you a total of eight inputs, including four ultra-low-noise mic preamps. The MW10C gives you an additional stereo channel for a total of ten inputs. The high-performance balanced microphone inputs also have a phantom power switch, allowing you to take advantage of the superior sonic quality of professional-level condenser microphones.

Flexible 12-Channel Configuration
The MW12C and MW12CX both give you a total of twelve inputs, including four mono microphone/line inputs and four stereo line inputs. Two of the stereo line inputs can also function as mono microphone inputs, providing up to six simultaneous microphone inputs if you need them. The high-performance ultra-low-noise balanced microphone inputs also have a phantom power switch, allowing you to take advantage of the superior sonic quality of professional-level condenser microphones.

Assignable Rec Out
In addition to the normal stereo buss, the MW12C and MW12CX has assignable busses (REC OUT). This feature gives you addes flexibility in routing the signals for recording and monitoring. Turning on the ON switch for any channel immediately routes that channel to the USB terminal and enables it for recording. Multiple channels selected in this way are, of course, recorded to a stereo mix on the computer. In this condition, each channel is also mixed to the stereo buss and can be monitored (with the Monitor Mix function).

Easy-To-Use One Knob Compression
The innovative 1-knob analog compressor (on the mono input channels) lets you dial in just the amount of compression you need in recording, without having to set multiple parameters. One knob does it all for you - instantly giving you great, punchy sound.

Monitor Mix
This feature gives you simple control over the balance between the signals being recorded and the playback signals being monitored. This is particularly helpful when recording several sources at the same time, letting you use a single knob to adjust the balance of the playback and recording signals for monitoring purposes. Naturally, this doesn’t affect the recording level; it simply allows you to control what you want to hear.

Easy-Access Panel and High Quality Parts
Top-mounted input and output connectors make setting up and re-patching your system quick and easy. Both models feature high-quality Neutrik balanced XLR connectors for the microphone inputs. Long-throw, smooth-action faders give you precise and tactile control over signal levels. The mixer also has a bright and large 12-segment LED meter for visual signal indication.

Built-In SPX Effects
The MW8CX and MW12CX incorporates a digital multi-effect unit that provides a variety of reverb, delay, modulation, and distortion programs you can use to enhance your sound, or completely transform it - without the need for an external device. Each of the 16 effect programs has a number of editable parameters as well as effect on/off switching capability and return level control. If you need to keep both hands free to play an instrument or perform other operations, an optional footswitch can be connected to the mixer’s effect footswitch jack for convenient on/off switching.

Channel On Switches
Dedicated On switches for each channel let you enable or disable (mute) individual input channels as desired, while the lamps on the switches give you instant visual indication about which channels are on.
