MC32/12, MC24/12—Owner’s Manual  Introduction 1 Introduction Thank you for choosing the Yamaha MC32/12 or MC24/12 mixing console. Please read this manual thoroughly to take best advantage of the console and extend its useful life. Notes: This manual has been written on the assumption that you already understand the basic operation and technical terminology of mixing consoles. Descriptions of MC24/12 specifications appear in brackets ({}) if they differ from the MC32/12. Features • The MC32/12 provides 28 monaural and 2 stereo input modules {the MC24/12 provides 20 monaural and 2 stereo input modules}. The output channels comprise stereo outputs, 10 mix outputs, and two matrix outputs, and support a wide range of applications, from SR (sound reinforcement) to facility acoustics. • Each monaural input channel offers a 26 dB pad, HPF, phase switch, 4-band EQ (HI-MID and LOMID frequencies are variable), and a 100 mmlong full-stroke fader. Also, phantom power can be turned on and off for every group of four inputs. This routing can be used as a conventional group bus. In this way, you can configure the bus for a specific purpose. • The console has two independent matrixes. You can mix MIX buses 1–4 and the stereo bus individually at the levels you desire and output them from the MATRIX OUT 1–2 jacks. This routing can be used as a mix for the foldback or for individual speakers and amplifiers. • The INSERT I/O jacks are provided for all monaural input channels, the stereo bus, and MIX buses 1–4. You can insert an external effect processor, if necessary. • Four stereo AUX returns and TAPE IN jacks are provided as standard. • Talkback signals can be sent to any of MIX buses 1–4, MIX buses 5–10, and the stereo bus. • The master section of the console is located in the center area of the unit, facilitating operation. • C-R monitor output enables you to select PFL/ AFL or TAPE IN as a monitoring source. • The master section provides output channels for MIX buses 1–10, with EQs and 100 mm-long faders. • The console’s sturdy finish and rugged design assure its durability even under severe conditions and rough on-site usage. • Each input channel and four stereo AUX returns include a PFL switch, and stereo bus, MIX buses 1–10, and Matrix 1–2 has an AFL switch, enabling you to monitor the input/output sources quickly. • Using the GA Diversity function enables you to set MIX buses 1–4 to Variable mode or Fix mode individually. In Variable mode, you can change the level of the signals sent out from the input channels. This routing can be used as a conventional AUX bus. In Fix mode, the level of the signals sent out from the input channels is fixed.

GA Diversity is an output select function that allows you to use the MIX OUT jacks as group output jacks or AUX output jacks on the MC32/12 and MC24/12. You can route either MIX (Variable) bus signals or MIX (Fix) bus signals to the MIX OUT 1–4 jacks of the MC32/12 and MC24/12. You can select either one of these output signals in the Variable/Fix select section. If the M1–M4 switches in the Variable/Fix select section are set to FIX ( ), the corresponding MIX OUT jacks will output MIX (FIX) bus signals. Since each channel’s output level for the MIX (FIX) bus signals is fixed, the corresponding MIX OUT jacks will function as group output jacks. If the M1–M4 switches in the Variable/Fix select section are set to VARIABLE ( ), the corresponding MIX OUT jacks will output MIX (VARIABLE) bus signals. Since each channel’s output level for the MIX (VARIABLE) bus signals is variable, the corresponding MIX OUT jacks will function as AUX output jacks. The GA Diversity function will enable you to configure a flexible bus system, such as four groups and six AUX sends, two groups and eight AUX sends, or 10 AUX sends, etc., depending on the application.
