that the corresponding PEAK indica-
tors flash briefly on the highest peak
levels.
To use the level meter to get an accurate read-
ing of the incoming signal level, turn the chan-
nel PFL switch on. Adjust the GAIN controls so
that the level meter indication occasionally
rises above the (0) level.
Note that the PHONES jack outputs the pre-
fader signal from all channels on which the
PFL switch is ON so that those signals can be
monitored via the headphones.
5
Turn on the ON and ST switches for
each channel you are using.
6
Set the STEREO OUT Master fader to
the “0” position.
7
Set the Channel faders to create the
desired initial balance, then adjust the
overall volume using the STEREO
OUT Master fader.
•To use the level meter to view the level being
applied to the STEREO L/R buses, set the
PFL switch off ( ) and the MONITOR switch
to STEREO ( ).
If the PEAK indicator lights frequently, lower
the Channel faders a little to avoid distortion.

Making the Most of Your Mixer
You’ve got yourself a mixer and now you’re ready to use it.
Just plug everything in, twiddle the controls, and away you go … right?
Well, if you’ve done this before you won’t have any problems, but if this is the first time you’ve
ever used a mixer you might want to read through this little tutorial and pick up a few basics
that will help you get better performance and make better mixes.
Balanced, Unbalanced—What’s the Difference?
In a word: “noise. The whole point of balanced lines is noise rejection, and it’s something they’re very good at.
Any length of wire will act as an antenna to pick up the random electromagnetic radiation we’re constantly sur-
rounded by: radio and TV signals as well as spurious electromagnetic noise generated by power lines, motors,
electric appliances, computer monitors, and a variety of other sources. The longer the wire, the more noise it is
likely to pick up. That’s why balanced lines are the best choice for long cable runs. If your “studio” is basically con-
fined to your desktop and all connections are no more than a meter or two in length, then unbalanced lines are
fine—unless you’re surrounded by extremely high levels of electromagnetic noise. Another place balanced lines
are almost always used is in microphone cables. The reason for this is that the output signal from most micro-
phones is very small, so even a tiny amount of noise will be relatively large, and will be amplified to an alarming
degree in the mixer’s high-gain head amplifier.
Signal Levels and the Decibel
Let’s take a look at one of the most commonly used units in
audio: the decibel (dB). If the smallest sound that can be
heard by the human ear is given an arbitrary value of 1, then
the loudest sound that can be heard is approximately
1,000,000 (one million) times louder. That’s too many digits
to deal with for practical calculations, and so the more appro-
priate “decibel” (dB) unit was created for sound-related mea-
surements. In this system the difference between the softest
and loudest sounds that can be heard is 120 dB. This is a
non-linear scale, and a difference of 3 dB actually results in a
doubling or halving of the loudness.
You might encounter a number of different varieties of the
dB: dBu, dBV, dBM and others, but the dBu is the basic deci-
bel unit. In the case of dBu, “0 dBu” is specified as a signal
level of 0.775 volts. For example, if a microphone’s output
level is -40 dBu (0.00775 V), then to raise that level to 0 dBu
(0.775 V) in the mixer’s preamp stage requires that the signal
be amplified by 100 times.
A mixer may be required to handle signals at a wide range of
levels, and it is necessary match input and output levels as closely as possible. In most cases the “nominal” level
for a mixer’s input and outputs is marked on the panel or listed in the owner’s manual.

The inputs and outputs on
home-use audio gear usually
have a nominal level of –7.8 dBu
(–10 dBV).
Most professional mixers,
power amplifiers, and other
types of equipment have inputs
and outputs with a nominal level
of +4 dBu.
Microphone signal levels vary
over a wide range depending on
the type of microphone and the
source. Average speech is
about –30 dBu, but the twitter-
ing of a bird might be lower than
–50 dBu while a solid bass
drum beat might produce a level
as high as 0 dBu.

To EQ or Not to EQ
In general: less is better. There are many situations in which you’ll need to cut certain frequency ranges, but use
boost sparingly, and with caution. Proper use of EQ can eliminate interference between instruments in a mix and
give the overall sound better definition. Bad EQ—and most commonly bad boost—just sounds terrible.
Cut for a Cleaner Mix
For example: cymbals have a lot of energy in the mid and
low frequency ranges that you don’t really perceive as
musical sound, but which can interfere with the clarity of
other instruments in these ranges. You can basically turn
the low EQ on cymbal channels all the way down without
changing the way they sound in the mix. You’ll hear the dif-
ference, however, in the way the mix sounds more “spa-
cious, and instruments in the lower ranges will have better
definition. Surprisingly enough, piano also has an incredi-
bly powerful low end that can benefit from a bit of low-fre-
quency roll-off to let other instruments—notably drums and
bass—do their jobs more effectively. Naturally you won’t
want to do this if the piano is playing solo.
The reverse applies to kick drums and bass guitars: you
can often roll off the high end to create more space in the
mix without compromising the character of the instruments.
You’ll have to use your ears, though, because each instru-
ment is different and sometimes you’ll want the “snap” of a
bass guitar, for example, to come through.
Boost with Caution
If you’re trying to create special or unusual effects,
go ahead and boost away as much as you like.
But if you’re just trying to achieve a good-sounding
mix, boost only in very small increments. A tiny
boost in the midrange can give vocals more pres-
ence, or a touch of high boost can give certain
instruments more “air. Listen, and if things don’t
sound clear and clean try using cut to remove fre-
quencies that are cluttering up the mix rather than
trying to boost the mix into clarity.
One of the biggest problems with too much boost
is that it adds gain to the signal, increasing noise
and potentially overloading the subsequent cir-
cuitry.
Some Frequency Facts
The lowest and highest frequencies than can be heard by the human ear are generally considered to be around 20 Hz
and 20,000 Hz, respectively. Average conversation occurs in the range from about 300 Hz to about 3,000 Hz. The fre-
quency of a standard pitchfork used to tune guitars and other instruments is 440 Hz (this corresponds to the “A3” key
on a piano tuned to concert pitch). Double this frequency to 880 Hz and you have a pitch one octave higher (i.e. “A4”
on the piano keyboard). In the same way you can halve the frequency to 220 Hz to produce “A2” an octave lower.

Ambience
Your mixes can be further refined by adding ambi-
ence effects such as reverb or delay. The MG166CX’s
internal effects can be used to add reverb or delay to
individual channels in the same way as external
effects processors. (Refer to page 15).
Reverb and Delay Time
The optimum reverb time for a piece of music will
depend on the music’s tempo and density, but as a
general rule longer reverb times are good for ballads,
while shorter reverb times are more suited to up-
tempo tunes. Delay times can be adjusted to create a
wide variety of “grooves”. When adding delay to a
vocal, for example, try setting the delay time to dotted
eighth notes corresponding to the tune’s tempo.
Reverb Tone
Different reverb programs will have different “reverb
tone” due to differences in the reverb time of the high
or low frequencies. Too much reverb, particularly in
the high frequencies, can result in unnatural sound
and interfere with the high frequencies in other parts
of the mix. It’s always a good idea to choose a reverb
program that gives you the depth you want without
detracting from the clarity of the mix.
Reverb Level
It’s amazing how quickly your ears can lose perspec-
tive and fool you into believing that a totally washed-
out mix sounds perfectly fine. To avoid falling into this
trap start with reverb level all the way down, then
gradually bring the reverb into the mix until you can
just hear the difference. Any more than this normally
becomes a “special effect.
The Modulation Effects:
Phasing, Chorus, and Flanging
All of these effects work on basically the same princi-
ple: a portion of the audio signal is “time-shifted” and
then mixed back with the direct signal. The amount of
time shift is controlled, or “modulated”, by an LFO
(Low-frequency Oscillator).
For phasing effects the shift is very small. The phase
difference between the modulated and direct signals
causes cancellation at some frequencies and rein-
forces the signal at others and this causes the shim-
mering sound we hear.
For chorus and flanging the signal is delayed by sev-
eral milliseconds, with the delay time modulated by
an LFO, and recombined with the direct signal. In
addition to the phasing effect described above, the
delay modulation causes a perceived pitch shift
which, when mixed with the direct signal, results in a
harmonically rich swirling or swishing sound.
The difference between chorus and flanging effects is
primarily in the amount of delay time and feedback
used—flanging uses longer delay times than chorus,
whereas chorus generally uses a more complex
delay structure. Chorus is most often used to thicken
the sound of an instrument, while flanging is usually
used as an outright “special effect” to produce other-
worldly sonic swoops.
Compression
One form of compression known as “limiting” can,
when properly used, produce a smooth, unified
sound with no excessive peaks or distortion. A com-
mon example of the use of compression is to “tame” a
vocal that has a wide dynamic range in order to
tighten up the mix. With the right amount of compres-
sion you’ll be able to clearly hear whispered pas-
sages while passionate shouts are still well balanced
in the mix. Compression can also be valuable on
bass guitar. Too much compression can be a cause of
feedback, however, so use it sparingly.
Most compressors require several critical parameters
to be set properly to achieve the desired sound. The
MG compressor makes achieving great sound much
easier: all you need to do is set a single “compres-
sion” control and all of the pertinent parameters are
automatically adjusted for you.

1 MIC Input jacks
These are balanced XLR-type microphone input jacks. (1:
Ground; 2: Hot; 3: Cold)
2 LINE Input Jacks (monaural channels)
These are balanced TRS phone-jack line inputs. (T: Hot; R:
Cold; S: Ground). You can connect either balanced or unbal-
anced phone plugs to these jacks.
3 LINE Input Jacks (stereo channels)
These are unbalanced phone-jack stereo line inputs.
4 LINE Input Jacks (stereo channels)
These are unbalanced stereo RCA pin jacks.
On channels that provide multiple input jack options
only one type of jack can be used at a time.
5 INSERT Jacks
These jacks can be used to insert an external signal-process-
ing device between the equalizer and fader of the corre-
sponding monaural input channel. The INSERT jacks are
ideal for connecting devices such as graphic equalizers,
compressors, or noise filters into the corresponding chan-
nels.
These are TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) phone jacks that
carry both the send and return signal (tip = send/out;
ring = return/in; sleeve = ground). Patching external
devices via an INSERT jack requires a special cable
such as illustrated below (insert cable sold sepa-
rately).
The signal output from the INSERT jacks is
reverse-phased. This should not be a problem
when connecting to an effect unit, but please be
aware of the possibility of phase conflict when
connecting to other types of device. A reversed-
phased signal may result in degraded sound
quality or even complete sound cancellation.
6 GAIN Control
Adjusts the input signal level. To get the best balance
between the S/N ratio and the dynamic range, adjust the gain
so that the PEAK indicator
9 lights only occasionally and
briefly on the highest input transients. The -60 to -16 scale is
the MIC input adjustment range. The -34 to +10 scale is the
LINE input adjustment range.
7 Switch (High-Pass Filter)
This switch toggles the HPF on or off. To turn the HPF on,
press the switch in ( ). The HPF cuts frequencies below
80 Hz (the HPF does not apply to the line inputs of stereo
input channels
3, 4).
8 COMP Control
Adjusts the amount of compression applied to the channel.
As the knob is turned to the right the compression ratio
increases while the output gain is automatically adjusted
accordingly. The result is smoother, more even dynamics
because louder signals are attenuated while the overall level
is boosted.
Avoid setting the compression too high, as the higher
average output level that results may lead to feed-
back.
9 PEAK indicator
The peak level of the post-EQ signal is detected, and the
PEAK indicator lights red when the level reaches 3 dB
below clipping.
For XLR-equipped stereo input channels, both the post-EQ
and post-mic-amp peak levels are detected, and the indicator
lights red if either of these levels reaches 3 dB below clip-
ping.
0 Equalizer (HIGH, MID and LOW)
This three-band equalizer adjusts the channel’s high, mid,
and low frequency bands. Setting the knob to the “” posi-
tion produces a flat response in the corresponding band.
Turning the knob to the right boosts the corresponding fre-
quency band, while turning to the left attenuates the band.
The monaural channels have MID frequency controls to
adjust the midrange frequency band.
The following table shows the EQ type, frequency, and max-
imum cut/boost for each of the three bands.
* The monaural channel MID frequency can be adjusted from
250 Hz to 5 kHz. The MID frequency is 2.5 kHz when the
MID frequency control is set at the center position.

A AUX, EFFECT Control
Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the channel to the
AUX and EFFECT buses. These knobs should generally be
set close to the “” position. These controls send either the
signal from immediately prior to the channel fader (pre-fader
signal) or the signal after the channel fader (post-fader sig-
nal) to the corresponding buses. The types of signals sent by
the AUX and EFFECT controls on each mixer model are as
follows:
MG206C
AUX1: Pre-fader
AUX2, 3: Pre-fader/post-fader (determined by the AUX
PRE switch
B)
AUX4: Post-fader
MG166CX

EFFECT: Post-fader
MG166C
AUX1: Pre-fader
AUX2: Pre-fader/post-fader (determines by the AUX
PRE switch
B)
AUX3: Post-fader
•To send the signal to the STEREO bus engage the
ON switch ( ).
On stereo channels, the L (odd) and R (even) input
signals are mixed and sent to the AUX and
EFFECT buses.
B AUX PRE Switch
Selects whether the pre-fader or the post-fader signal is fed
to the AUX buses. If the switch is on ( ), the mixer sends
the pre-fader signal to the AUX buses, so that AUX outputs
are not affected by the channel fader
I. If the switch is off
() the mixer sends the post-fader signal to the AUX
buses.
C PAN Control
PAN/BAL Control
BAL Control
The PAN control determines the stereo positioning of the
channel signal on the GROUP 1/2 and GROUP 3/4 buses or
on the STEREO L/R bus. The BAL control knob sets the
balance between left and right channels. Signals input to the
L input (odd channel) go to the GROUP 1 or 3 buses or to
the STEREO L bus; signals input to the R input (even chan-
nel) go to the GROUP 2 or 4 buses or the STEREO R bus.
On channels where this knob provides both PAN and
BAL control, the knob operates as a PAN control
when input is received via the MIC jack or L (MONO)
input only, and as a BAL control when input is
received via both L and R inputs.
D ON Switch
Turn this switch on to send the signal to the buses. The
switch lights orange when on.
E PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) Switch
This switch lets you monitor the channel’s pre-fader signal.
Press the switch in ( ) so that it lights to turn it on. When
the switch is on the channel pre-fader signal is output to the
PHONES and MONITOR OUT jacks for monitoring.
F 1-2 Switch
This switch assigns the channel’s signal to the GROUP 1/2
bus.
To send the signal to the GROUP 1/2 bus turn the
ON switch on ( ).
G 3-4 Switch
This switch assigns the channel’s signal to the GROUP 3/4

1 SEND Jacks (AUX, EFFECT)
These impedance balanced* TRS phone jacks output the sig-
nals from the AUX/EFFECT buses. The pre-fader send option
should be selected if you are connecting to a monitor system,
while the post-fader send option is the best choice when con-
necting to external signal processors (e.g. effects units).
See “AUX, EFFECT Control” on page 14 for information on
the types of signals sent by the AUX and EFFECT controls
on each mixer model.
2 GROUP OUT (1 to 4) Jacks
These impedance-balanced* TRS phone jacks output the
GROUP 1/2 and 3/4 signals. Use these jacks to connect to
the input jacks of an multi-track recorder, external mixer, or
other such device.
3 REC OUT (L, R) Jacks
These RCA pin jacks can be connected to an external
recorder such as an MD recorder in order to record the same
signal that is being output via the STEREO OUT jacks.
The mixer’s STEREO OUT Master fader has no
affect on the signal output via these jacks.
Be sure to make appropriate level adjustments at the
recording device.
4 2TR IN Jacks
These RCA pin jacks input a stereo sound source.
Use these jacks when you want to connect a CD player
directly to the mixer.
Select where you want to send the signal using the
2TR IN switch, and adjust the signal level using the
2TR IN control in the Master Control section.
5 RETURN L (MONO), R Jacks
These are unbalanced phone-jack type line inputs.
The signal received by these jacks can be sent to the STE-
REO L/R bus as well as the AUX1 and AUX2 buses. When a
stereo signal is returned a mono mix of the signal is sent to
the AUX1 and AUX2 buses. These jacks are typically used to
receive the signal returned from an external effect device
(reverb, delay, etc.).
These jacks can also be used as an auxiliary ste-
reo input.
If you connect to the L (MONO) jack only, the mixer
will recognize the signal as monaural and will send
the identical signal to both the L and R jacks.
6 STEREO OUT (L, R) Jacks
These jacks deliver the mixer’s stereo output. You use these
jacks, for example, to connect to the power amplifier driving
your main speakers. You can also connect these jacks to a
recording device when you wish to record mixer’s stereo
output while using the STEREO OUT Master fader
I for
level control.
XLR jacks
XLR-type balanced output jacks.
LINE jacks
TRS phone-type balanced output jacks.
7 MONITOR OUT jacks
These are impedance-balanced* TRS phone-type output
jacks.
The signal output by these jacks is determined by the
MONITOR switch, the 2TR IN switch, and the PFL
switches on the input channels.
8 PHONES Jack
Connect a pair of headphones to this TRS phone-type output
jack. The PHONES jack outputs the same signal as the
MONITOR OUT jacks.
9 PHANTOM +48 V Switch
This switch toggles phantom power on and off. When the
switch is on the mixer supplies +48V phantom power to all
channels that have XLR mic input jacks. Turn this switch on
when using one or more phantom-powered condenser micro-
phones.
When this switch is on the mixer supplies DC +48 V
power to pins 2 and 3 of all XLR-type MIC INPUT
jacks.
Be sure to leave this switch off if you do not
need phantom power.
When turning the switch on, be sure that only
condenser microphones are connected to the
XLR input jacks. Devices other than condenser
mics may be damaged if connected to the
phantom power supply. Note, however, that the
switch may be left on when connecting to bal-
anced dynamic microphones.
•To prevent damage to speakers, be sure to turn
off power amplifiers (or powered speakers)
before turning this switch on or off. We also
recommend that you turn all output controls
(STEREO OUT Master fader, GROUP 1-2 fader,
GROUP 3-4 fader, etc.) to their minimum set-
tings before operating the switch to avoid the
risk of loud noises that could cause hearing
loss or device damage.
0 POWER Indicator
This indicator lights when the mixer’s power is ON.
A Level Meter
This LED meter displays the level of the signal selected by
the MONITOR switch
D, 2TR IN switch E and PFL
switch. The “0” segment corresponds to the nominal output
level. The PEAK indicator lights red when the output
reaches the clipping level.
B RETURN
•AUX1, AUX2 Control
Adjusts the level at which the L/R signal received at the
RETURN jacks (L (MONO) and R) is sent to the AUX1 and
AUX2 buses.
STEREO Control
Adjusts the level at which the signal received at the RETURN
jacks (L (MONO) and R) is sent to the STEREO L/R bus.
If you supply a signal to the RETURN L (MONO)
jack only, the mixer sends the same signal to both
the L and R STEREO buses.
(MG206C) Signals input via the RETURN1 jacks
are adjusted using the RETURN1 AUX1, AUX2 and
the STEREO controls, and signals input via the
RETURN2 jacks are adjusted using the RETURN2
AUX1, AUX2 and the STEREO controls.

Rack Mounting
To mount the MG mixer, it requires 12U of rack space.
If the MG mixer is to be mounted with devices that tend
to generate heat, such as power amplifiers, be sure to
install ventilation panels to prevent high temperatures
from developing inside the mixer.

WARNING Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: Power supply/Power cord Water warning • Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the device. • Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings. • Use only the included power adaptor (PA-30 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha). • Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. • Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it. Do not open • Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The device contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. If you notice any abnormality • If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the device, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • If this device or the AC power adaptor should be dropped or damaged, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. CAUTION Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: Power supply/Power cord • Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms. • When removing the electric plug from the device or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it. • To avoid generating unwanted noise, make sure there is adequate distance (50 cm or more) between the AC power adaptor and the device. • If this device is to be mounted in an EIA-standard rack, leave the back of the rack open and make sure that it is at least 10 cm away from walls or surfaces. Also, if this device is to be mounted with devices that tend to generate heat, such as power amplifiers, be sure to keep an adequate gap between this device and the heat-generating devices or install ventilation panels to prevent high temperatures from developing inside this device. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even fire. • Avoid setting all equalizer controls and faders to their maximum. Depending on the condition of the connected devices, doing so may cause feedback and may damage the speakers. • Do not cover or wrap the AC power adaptor with a cloth or blanket. Location • Before moving the device, remove all connected cables. • When setting up the device, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product all the minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet. • Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components. • Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. • Do not block the vents. This device has ventilation holes at the bottom/rear to prevent the internal temperature from becoming too high. In particular, do not place the device on its side or upside down. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even fire. • Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Doing so may result in noise, both in the device itself and in the TV or radio next to it. (5)-4 1/2 MG206C/MG166CX/MG166C Owner’s Manual 3 Connections Handling caution • Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all devices. Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to minimum. • When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the power amplifier LAST, to avoid speaker damage. When turning the power off, the power amplifier should be turned off FIRST for the same reason. • Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on the device (vents, etc.). • Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the device (vents, etc.) If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Do not use the device or headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician. • Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it, and avoid use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors. XLR-type connectors are wired as follows (IEC60268 standard): pin 1: ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold (-). Insert TRS phone jacks are wired as follows: sleeve: ground, tip: send, and ring: return. Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the device, or data that is lost or destroyed. Always turn the power off when the device is not in use. Even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the device at the minimum level. When you are not using the device for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet. The performance of components with moving contacts, such as switches, volume controls, and connectors, deteriorates over time. Consult qualifi ed Yamaha service personnel about replacing defective components. The MG mixer may heat up by as much as 15 to 20°C while the power is on. This is normal. Please note that the panel temperature may exceed 50°C in ambient temperatures higher than 30°C, and use caution to prevent burns. * This Owner’s Manual applies to the MG206C/MG166CX/MG166C. The main differences between the three models are the number of input channels and whether the internal effects are included. The MG206C has 20 input channels while the MG166CX/MG166C have 16 channels. And only the MG166CX has internal effects. * In this manual the term “MG mixsers” refers to the MG206C, MG166CX and MG166C. * Illustrations herein are for explanatory purposes only, and may not match actual appearance during operation. * Company names and product names herein are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective companies.

MG206C/MG166CX/MG166C Owner’s Manual 5 Mixer Basics Quick Guide Mixer Basics Getting Sound to the Speakers We begin by connecting a pair of speakers and generating some stereo output. Note that operations and procedures will vary somewhat according to the input devices you are using. 2 Microphones, instruments Speakers 2 Power Amp 1, 4 Headphones GAIN controls Monitor Speakers 4 3 PEAK indicators PHANTOM switch 4, 7 Equalizer Level meter PAN/BAL switches 5 ON switches 4 PFL switches 5 ST switches 1, 7 Channel faders 1, 3 POWER switch 6 2, 4 MG206C/MG166CX/MG166C Owner’s Manual 1, 6, 7 STEREO OUT Master fader MG206C Mixer Basics Quick Guide 1 Be sure that your mixer is turned off and that all level controls* are turned all the way down. * STEREO OUT Master fader, Channel faders, GAIN controls, etc. NOTE 2 Set the equalizer and the PAN/BAL controls to their ▼ positions. Turn off any other external devices, then connect microphones, instruments, and speakers. NOTE • For information on connecting external devices see the Connection Example on page 11. • Connect electric guitars and basses through an intermediary device such as a direct box, preamp, or amp simulator. Connecting these instruments directly to the MG mixer may result in degraded sound and noise. 3 Turn on the ON and ST switches for each channel you are using. 6 Set the STEREO OUT Master fader to the “0” position. 7 Set the Channel faders to create the desired initial balance, then adjust the overall volume using the STEREO OUT Master fader. NOTE • To use the level meter to view the level being applied to the STEREO L/R buses, set the PFL switch off ( ) and the MONITOR switch to STEREO ( ). • If the PEAK indicator lights frequently, lower the Channel faders a little to avoid distortion. To avoid damage to your speakers, power up the devices in the following order: Peripheral devices → MG mixer → power amps (or powered speakers). Reverse this order when turning power off. CAUTION 4 5 If you are using condenser microphones that require phantom power, turn the MG mixer’s phantom power switch on before turning on the power to the power amp or powered speakers. See page 17 for more detail. Adjust the channel GAIN controls so that the corresponding PEAK indicators flash briefly on the highest peak levels. NOTE To use the level meter to get an accurate reading of the incoming signal level, turn the channel PFL switch on. Adjust the GAIN controls so that the level meter indication occasionally rises above the “▼” (0) level. Note that the PHONES jack outputs the prefader signal from all channels on which the PFL switch is ON so that those signals can be monitored via the headphones. MG206C/MG166CX/MG166C Owner’s Manual 7 Mixer Basics Making the Most of Your Mixer You’ve got yourself a mixer and now you’re ready to use it. Just plug everything in, twiddle the controls, and away you go … right? Well, if you’ve done this before you won’t have any problems, but if this is the first time you’ve ever used a mixer you might want to read through this little tutorial and pick up a few basics that will help you get better performance and make better mixes. Balanced, Unbalanced—What’s the Difference? In a word: “noise.” The whole point of balanced lines is noise rejection, and it’s something they’re very good at. Any length of wire will act as an antenna to pick up the random electromagnetic radiation we’re constantly surrounded by: radio and TV signals as well as spurious electromagnetic noise generated by power lines, motors, electric appliances, computer monitors, and a variety of other sources. The longer the wire, the more noise it is likely to pick up. That’s why balanced lines are the best choice for long cable runs. If your “studio” is basically confined to your desktop and all connections are no more than a meter or two in length, then unbalanced lines are fine—unless you’re surrounded by extremely high levels of electromagnetic noise. Another place balanced lines are almost always used is in microphone cables. The reason for this is that the output signal from most microphones is very small, so even a tiny amount of noise will be relatively large, and will be amplified to an alarming degree in the mixer’s high-gain head amplifier. Balanced noise cancellation To summarize Noise Hot (+) Cold (–) Phase inversion Phase inversion Noise cancelled Ground Noise-free signal Microphones Use balanced lines. Short linelevel runs Unbalanced lines are fine if you’re in a relatively noisefree environment. Long linelevel runs The ambient electromagnetic noise level will be the ultimate deciding factor, but balanced is best. Receiving device Source Cable Signal Levels and the Decibel Let’s take a look at one of the most commonly used units in Most professional mixers, audio: the decibel (dB). If the smallest sound that can be power amplifiers, and other types of equipment have inputs heard by the human ear is given an arbitrary value of 1, then + 20 dBu and outputs with a nominal level the loudest sound that can be heard is approximately of +4 dBu. 1,000,000 (one million) times louder. That’s too many digits 0.775 V The inputs and outputs on 0 dBu to deal with for practical calculations, and so the more approhome-use audio gear usually priate “decibel” (dB) unit was created for sound-related meahave a nominal level of –7.8 dBu surements. In this system the difference between the softest (–10 dBV). -20 dBu and loudest sounds that can be heard is 120 dB. This is a Microphone signal levels vary non-linear scale, and a difference of 3 dB actually results in a over a wide range depending on doubling or halving of the loudness. -40 dBu the type of microphone and the You might encounter a number of different varieties of the source. Average speech is dB: dBu, dBV, dBM and others, but the dBu is the basic deciabout –30 dBu, but the twitterbel unit. In the case of dBu, “0 dBu” is specified as a signal -60 dBu ing of a bird might be lower than level of 0.775 volts. For example, if a microphone’s output –50 dBu while a solid bass level is -40 dBu (0.00775 V), then to raise that level to 0 dBu drum beat might produce a level (0.775 V) in the mixer’s preamp stage requires that the signal as high as 0 dBu. be amplified by 100 times. A mixer may be required to handle signals at a wide range of levels, and it is necessary match input and output levels as closely as possible. In most cases the “nominal” level for a mixer’s input and outputs is marked on the panel or listed in the owner’s manual. 8 MG206C/MG166CX/MG166C Owner’s Manual Mixer Basics Making the Most of Your Mixer To EQ or Not to EQ In general: less is better. There are many situations in which you’ll need to cut certain frequency ranges, but use boost sparingly, and with caution. Proper use of EQ can eliminate interference between instruments in a mix and give the overall sound better definition. Bad EQ—and most commonly bad boost—just sounds terrible. Cut for a Cleaner Mix For example: cymbals have a lot of energy in the mid and low frequency ranges that you don’t really perceive as musical sound, but which can interfere with the clarity of other instruments in these ranges. You can basically turn the low EQ on cymbal channels all the way down without changing the way they sound in the mix. You’ll hear the difference, however, in the way the mix sounds more “spacious,” and instruments in the lower ranges will have better definition. Surprisingly enough, piano also has an incredibly powerful low end that can benefit from a bit of low-frequency roll-off to let other instruments—notably drums and bass—do their jobs more effectively. Naturally you won’t want to do this if the piano is playing solo. The reverse applies to kick drums and bass guitars: you can often roll off the high end to create more space in the mix without compromising the character of the instruments. You’ll have to use your ears, though, because each instrument is different and sometimes you’ll want the “snap” of a bass guitar, for example, to come through. The fundamental and harmonic musical instruments. frequency ranges of some Cymbal Piano Bass Drum Snare Drum Bass Guitar Trombone Trumpet 20 50 100 200 500 1k 2k 5k 10 k 20 k (Hz) Fundamental: The frequency that determines the basic musical pitch. Harmonics: Multiples of the fundamental frequency that play a role in determining the timbre of the instrument. Some Frequency Facts The lowest and highest frequencies than can be heard by the human ear are generally considered to be around 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz, respectively. Average conversation occurs in the range from about 300 Hz to about 3,000 Hz. The frequency of a standard pitchfork used to tune guitars and other instruments is 440 Hz (this corresponds to the “A3” key on a piano tuned to concert pitch). Double this frequency to 880 Hz and you have a pitch one octave higher (i.e. “A4” on the piano keyboard). In the same way you can halve the frequency to 220 Hz to produce “A2” an octave lower. Boost with Caution MID Boost Signal Level (dB) If you’re trying to create special or unusual effects, go ahead and boost away as much as you like. But if you’re just trying to achieve a good-sounding mix, boost only in very small increments. A tiny boost in the midrange can give vocals more presence, or a touch of high boost can give certain instruments more “air.” Listen, and if things don’t sound clear and clean try using cut to remove frequencies that are cluttering up the mix rather than trying to boost the mix into clarity. One of the biggest problems with too much boost is that it adds gain to the signal, increasing noise and potentially overloading the subsequent circuitry. MID Flat LOW Boost HIGH Boost LOW Flat HIGH Flat LOW Cut HIGH Cut MID Cut Frequency (Hz) MG206C/MG166CX/MG166C Owner’s Manual 9 Mixer Basics Making the Most of Your Mixer Ambience Your mixes can be further refined by adding ambience effects such as reverb or delay. The MG166CX’s internal effects can be used to add reverb or delay to individual channels in the same way as external effects processors. (Refer to page 15). Reverb and Delay Time The optimum reverb time for a piece of music will depend on the music’s tempo and density, but as a general rule longer reverb times are good for ballads, while shorter reverb times are more suited to uptempo tunes. Delay times can be adjusted to create a wide variety of “grooves”. When adding delay to a vocal, for example, try setting the delay time to dotted eighth notes corresponding to the tune’s tempo. Reverb Tone Different reverb programs will have different “reverb tone” due to differences in the reverb time of the high or low frequencies. Too much reverb, particularly in the high frequencies, can result in unnatural sound and interfere with the high frequencies in other parts of the mix. It’s always a good idea to choose a reverb program that gives you the depth you want without detracting from the clarity of the mix. Reverb Level It’s amazing how quickly your ears can lose perspective and fool you into believing that a totally washedout mix sounds perfectly fine. To avoid falling into this trap start with reverb level all the way down, then gradually bring the reverb into the mix until you can just hear the difference. Any more than this normally becomes a “special effect.” For chorus and flanging the signal is delayed by several milliseconds, with the delay time modulated by an LFO, and recombined with the direct signal. In addition to the phasing effect described above, the delay modulation causes a perceived pitch shift which, when mixed with the direct signal, results in a harmonically rich swirling or swishing sound. The difference between chorus and flanging effects is primarily in the amount of delay time and feedback used—flanging uses longer delay times than chorus, whereas chorus generally uses a more complex delay structure. Chorus is most often used to thicken the sound of an instrument, while flanging is usually used as an outright “special effect” to produce otherworldly sonic swoops. Compression One form of compression known as “limiting” can, when properly used, produce a smooth, unified sound with no excessive peaks or distortion. A common example of the use of compression is to “tame” a vocal that has a wide dynamic range in order to tighten up the mix. With the right amount of compression you’ll be able to clearly hear whispered passages while passionate shouts are still well balanced in the mix. Compression can also be valuable on bass guitar. Too much compression can be a cause of feedback, however, so use it sparingly. Most compressors require several critical parameters to be set properly to achieve the desired sound. The MG compressor makes achieving great sound much easier: all you need to do is set a single “compression” control and all of the pertinent parameters are automatically adjusted for you. OUTPUT The Modulation Effects: (Min) Phasing, Chorus, and Flanging (Max) All of these effects work on basically the same principle: a portion of the audio signal is “time-shifted” and then mixed back with the direct signal. The amount of time shift is controlled, or “modulated”, by an LFO (Low-frequency Oscillator). For phasing effects the shift is very small. The phase difference between the modulated and direct signals causes cancellation at some frequencies and reinforces the signal at others and this causes the shimmering sound we hear. 10 MG206C/MG166CX/MG166C Owner’s Manual INPUT Reference Setup Reference Guitar Rear panel Effect processor Recorder Powered monitor speakers Bass CD Player Powered speakers Synthesizer Microphone DI Effect processor (exciter) Headphones Powered monitor speakers MG206C MG206C/MG166CX/MG166C Owner’s Manual 11 Reference Front & Rear Panels Channel Control Section ● MG206C ● MG166CX/MG166C * A MG166C : EFFECT → AUX3 Channels 1 to 8 (Monaural) Channels 9 to 12 (Monaural) Channels 13/14 and 15/16 (Stereo) Channels 17/18 and 19/20 (Stereo) 1 1 5 6 7 12 4 Channels 9/10 and 11/12 (Stereo) 1 2 3 5 6 7 8 6 7 6 7 8 9 9 0 0 A Channels 7 and 8 (Monaural) 1 2 3 Channels 1 to 6 (Monaural) 9 9 0 0 A A B B A B B C C C C D E D E D E D E F G H F G H F G H F G H I I I I MG206C/MG166CX/MG166C Owner’s Manual Channels 13/14 and 15/16 (Stereo) 4 Reference Front & Rear Panels 1 MIC Input jacks 7 These are balanced XLR-type microphone input jacks. (1: Ground; 2: Hot; 3: Cold) 2 LINE Input Jacks (monaural channels) These are balanced TRS phone-jack line inputs. (T: Hot; R: Cold; S: Ground). You can connect either balanced or unbalanced phone plugs to these jacks. 3 LINE Input Jacks (stereo channels) These are unbalanced phone-jack stereo line inputs. 4 LINE Input Jacks (stereo channels) These are unbalanced stereo RCA pin jacks. Switch (High-Pass Filter) This switch toggles the HPF on or off. To turn the HPF on, press the switch in ( ). The HPF cuts frequencies below 80 Hz (the HPF does not apply to the line inputs of stereo input channels 3, 4). 8 COMP Control Adjusts the amount of compression applied to the channel. As the knob is turned to the right the compression ratio increases while the output gain is automatically adjusted accordingly. The result is smoother, more even dynamics because louder signals are attenuated while the overall level is boosted. NOTE On channels that provide multiple input jack options only one type of jack can be used at a time. NOTE 5 INSERT Jacks 9 PEAK indicator These jacks can be used to insert an external signal-processing device between the equalizer and fader of the corresponding monaural input channel. The INSERT jacks are ideal for connecting devices such as graphic equalizers, compressors, or noise filters into the corresponding channels. These are TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) phone jacks that carry both the send and return signal (tip = send/out; ring = return/in; sleeve = ground). Patching external devices via an INSERT jack requires a special cable such as illustrated below (insert cable sold separately). NOTE To the input jack of the external processor To the INSERT I/O jack Sleeve (Ground) Ring: IN Tip: OUT Tip: OUT Tip: IN To the output jack of the external processor CAUTION Avoid setting the compression too high, as the higher average output level that results may lead to feedback. The signal output from the INSERT jacks is reverse-phased. This should not be a problem when connecting to an effect unit, but please be aware of the possibility of phase conflict when connecting to other types of device. A reversedphased signal may result in degraded sound quality or even complete sound cancellation. The peak level of the post-EQ signal is detected, and the PEAK indicator lights red when the level reaches 3 dB below clipping. For XLR-equipped stereo input channels, both the post-EQ and post-mic-amp peak levels are detected, and the indicator lights red if either of these levels reaches 3 dB below clipping. 0 Equalizer (HIGH, MID and LOW) This three-band equalizer adjusts the channel’s high, mid, and low frequency bands. Setting the knob to the “▼” position produces a flat response in the corresponding band. Turning the knob to the right boosts the corresponding frequency band, while turning to the left attenuates the band. The monaural channels have MID frequency controls to adjust the midrange frequency band. The following table shows the EQ type, frequency, and maximum cut/boost for each of the three bands. Band Type Frequency HIGH Shelving 10 kHz MID Peaking 2.5 kHz* LOW Shelving 100 Hz Maximum Cut/Boost ±15 dB * The monaural channel MID frequency can be adjusted from 250 Hz to 5 kHz. The MID frequency is 2.5 kHz when the MID frequency control is set at the center position. 6 GAIN Control Adjusts the input signal level. To get the best balance between the S/N ratio and the dynamic range, adjust the gain so that the PEAK indicator 9 lights only occasionally and briefly on the highest input transients. The -60 to -16 scale is the MIC input adjustment range. The -34 to +10 scale is the LINE input adjustment range. MG206C/MG166CX/MG166C Owner’s Manual 13 Reference Front & Rear Panels A AUX, EFFECT Control Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the channel to the AUX and EFFECT buses. These knobs should generally be set close to the “▼” position. These controls send either the signal from immediately prior to the channel fader (pre-fader signal) or the signal after the channel fader (post-fader signal) to the corresponding buses. The types of signals sent by the AUX and EFFECT controls on each mixer model are as follows: Turn this switch on to send the signal to the buses. The switch lights orange when on. E PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) Switch This switch lets you monitor the channel’s pre-fader signal. Press the switch in ( ) so that it lights to turn it on. When the switch is on the channel pre-fader signal is output to the PHONES and MONITOR OUT jacks for monitoring. • MG206C AUX1: Pre-fader AUX2, 3: Pre-fader/post-fader (determined by the AUX PRE switch B) AUX4: Post-fader F 1-2 Switch • MG166CX AUX1: Pre-fader AUX2: Pre-fader/post-fader (determined by the AUX PRE switch B) EFFECT: Post-fader G 3-4 Switch • MG166C AUX1: Pre-fader AUX2: Pre-fader/post-fader (determines by the AUX PRE switch B) AUX3: Post-fader NOTE • To send the signal to the STEREO bus engage the ON switch ( ). • On stereo channels, the L (odd) and R (even) input signals are mixed and sent to the AUX and EFFECT buses. B AUX PRE Switch Selects whether the pre-fader or the post-fader signal is fed to the AUX buses. If the switch is on ( ), the mixer sends the pre-fader signal to the AUX buses, so that AUX outputs are not affected by the channel fader I. If the switch is off ( ) the mixer sends the post-fader signal to the AUX buses. C PAN Control PAN/BAL Control BAL Control The PAN control determines the stereo positioning of the channel signal on the GROUP 1/2 and GROUP 3/4 buses or on the STEREO L/R bus. The BAL control knob sets the balance between left and right channels. Signals input to the L input (odd channel) go to the GROUP 1 or 3 buses or to the STEREO L bus; signals input to the R input (even channel) go to the GROUP 2 or 4 buses or the STEREO R bus. NOTE 14 D ON Switch On channels where this knob provides both PAN and BAL control, the knob operates as a PAN control when input is received via the MIC jack or L (MONO) input only, and as a BAL control when input is received via both L and R inputs. MG206C/MG166CX/MG166C Owner’s Manual This switch assigns the channel’s signal to the GROUP 1/2 bus. NOTE To send the signal to the GROUP 1/2 bus turn the ON switch on ( ).

The pre-fader send option should be selected if you are connecting to a monitor system, while the post-fader send option is the best choice when connecting to external signal processors (e.g. effects units). See “AUX, EFFECT Control” on page 14 for information on the types of signals sent by the AUX and EFFECT controls on each mixer model. 2 GROUP OUT (1 to 4) Jacks These impedance-balanced* TRS phone jacks output the GROUP 1/2 and 3/4 signals. Use these jacks to connect to the input jacks of an multi-track recorder, external mixer, or other such device. 8 PHONES Jack Connect a pair of headphones to this TRS phone-type output jack. The PHONES jack outputs the same signal as the MONITOR OUT jacks. 9 PHANTOM +48 V Switch This switch toggles phantom power on and off. When the switch is on the mixer supplies +48V phantom power to all channels that have XLR mic input jacks. Turn this switch on when using one or more phantom-powered condenser microphones. NOTE • Be sure to leave this switch off if you do not need phantom power. 3 REC OUT (L, R) Jacks These RCA pin jacks can be connected to an external recorder such as an MD recorder in order to record the same signal that is being output via the STEREO OUT jacks. NOTE CAUTION The mixer’s STEREO OUT Master fader has no affect on the signal output via these jacks. Be sure to make appropriate level adjustments at the recording device. These RCA pin jacks input a stereo sound source. Use these jacks when you want to connect a CD player directly to the mixer. Select where you want to send the signal using the 2TR IN switch, and adjust the signal level using the 2TR IN control in the Master Control section. 5 RETURN L (MONO), R Jacks These are unbalanced phone-jack type line inputs. The signal received by these jacks can be sent to the STEREO L/R bus as well as the AUX1 and AUX2 buses. When a stereo signal is returned a mono mix of the signal is sent to the AUX1 and AUX2 buses. These jacks are typically used to receive the signal returned from an external effect device (reverb, delay, etc.). NOTE • These jacks can also be used as an auxiliary stereo input. • If you connect to the L (MONO) jack only, the mixer will recognize the signal as monaural and will send the identical signal to both the L and R jacks. 6 STEREO OUT (L, R) Jacks These jacks deliver the mixer’s stereo output. You use these jacks, for example, to connect to the power amplifier driving your main speakers. You can also connect these jacks to a recording device when you wish to record mixer’s stereo output while using the STEREO OUT Master fader I for level control. • XLR jacks XLR-type balanced output jacks. • LINE jacks TRS phone-type balanced output jacks. 7 MONITOR OUT jacks • When turning the switch on, be sure that only condenser microphones are connected to the XLR input jacks. Devices other than condenser mics may be damaged if connected to the phantom power supply. Note, however, that the switch may be left on when connecting to balanced dynamic microphones. • To prevent damage to speakers, be sure to turn off power amplifiers (or powered speakers) before turning this switch on or off. We also recommend that you turn all output controls (STEREO OUT Master fader, GROUP 1-2 fader, GROUP 3-4 fader, etc.) to their minimum settings before operating the switch to avoid the risk of loud noises that could cause hearing loss or device damage. 4 2TR IN Jacks NOTE When this switch is on the mixer supplies DC +48 V power to pins 2 and 3 of all XLR-type MIC INPUT jacks. 0 POWER Indicator This indicator lights when the mixer’s power is ON. A Level Meter This LED meter displays the level of the signal selected by the MONITOR switch D, 2TR IN switch E and PFL switch. The “0” segment corresponds to the nominal output level. The PEAK indicator lights red when the output reaches the clipping level. B RETURN • AUX1, AUX2 Control Adjusts the level at which the L/R signal received at the RETURN jacks (L (MONO) and R) is sent to the AUX1 and AUX2 buses. • STEREO Control Adjusts the level at which the signal received at the RETURN jacks (L (MONO) and R) is sent to the STEREO L/R bus. NOTE • If you supply a signal to the RETURN L (MONO) jack only, the mixer sends the same signal to both the L and R STEREO buses. • (MG206C) Signals input via the RETURN1 jacks are adjusted using the RETURN1 AUX1, AUX2 and the STEREO controls, and signals input via the RETURN2 jacks are adjusted using the RETURN2 AUX1, AUX2 and the STEREO controls. These are impedance-balanced* TRS phone-type output jacks. NOTE The signal output by these jacks is determined by the MONITOR switch, the 2TR IN switch, and the PFL switches on the input channels. * impedance balanced Since the hot and cold terminals of impedance balanced output jacks have the same impedance, these output jacks are less affected by induced noise.

Then adjust the output signal by using the AUX controls on each channel and the Master SEND control. The level meter doesn’t show the output signal level. ❑ Are the PFL switches for the channels that you are not using turned on?
