This manual provides operating instructions for the Yamaha MQ-Series mixers, which are designed for portable or fixed sound reinforcement systems. The series includes three models differing in input channel count: 8, 12, and 16 channels. Each model features stereo program outputs with 9-band graphic equalizers, four mixing busses (program left/right, echo, and foldback), and switch-selectable inputs for microphones or line-level sources.
Each channel accepts either a microphone or line level source via an XLR-type connector or a phone jack.
The program outputs provide a maximum level of +18dB and can be connected via balanced XLR-type connectors or unbalanced phone jacks.
The nominal setting for the channel fader is the -6 position on the dB-calibrated scale.
