Intuitive Digital Mixing
The MGX12 combines physical faders with a 4.3-inch touchscreen interface, providing direct control while keeping advanced digital mixing functions accessible. The 12 + 1 fader configuration and five control encoders are designed for efficient operation in live and production environments.
Flexible Input Configuration
The MGX12 provides 4 combo microphone/line inputs, 4 TRS line inputs, and 4 RCA line inputs. Its channel architecture provides 4 mono, 4 stereo, 1 Sound Pad, and 2 FX return channels, giving the console flexibility for microphones, instruments, playback devices, content sources, and effects.
Professional DSP Processing
The onboard DSP provides processing such as Gate, Compressor, EQ, Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip, Guitar Amp Classics, Pitch Fix, Ducker, Multiband Compressor, Compander, Delay, and REV-X reverb. These tools help reduce the need for external processors in many applications.
USB Multitrack Recording and Playback
The USB MAIN connection provides 18-input/18-output audio at up to 32-bit / 96 kHz, while USB SUB provides 2-input/2-output audio at 16-bit / 48 kHz. This supports computer-based recording, playback, streaming, and production workflows.
Standalone Recording with microSD
The built-in microSD card slot supports recording of up to 16 tracks and playback of 2 tracks. This allows the MGX12 to handle standalone recording and playback without relying entirely on a computer.
Bluetooth Audio
Bluetooth 5.0 with A2DP provides a convenient wireless audio input for compatible playback devices, presentations, background music, and content workflows.
