The black AG06MK2 from Yamaha is a compact 6-channel mixer and USB interface with built-in DSP for streaming, sound reinforcement, and recording small performances, podcasts, lectures, and similar applications. This updated MK2 version adds a mute button and 3.5mm TRRS input for more flexible live streaming work. It also features an improved build design with updated circuitry for better sound. Capable of recording and playback of high-resolution 24-bit / 192 kHz sound, this mixer features two XLR-1/4″ combo mic/line inputs, as well as a stereo 1/4″ line input pair, a stereo RCA input pair, and a 3.5mm aux input for portable music players and headsets. The mixer is compatible with Windows/Mac computers as well as iPads and iPhones.
The XLR-1/4″ combo mic/line inputs feature switchable 48V phantom power for use with condenser microphones, and input 2 offers a Hi-Z switch for use with electric guitar and bass.

Fast, Intuitive Sonic Control
With a design similar to a mixing console, the AG06MK2 is equipped with a variety of physical controls that help you shape and manage the audio you stream to your audience. The newly added mute button allows you to cut your mic input at a moment’s notice, if the situation demands it, and it can even be controlled using Yamaha’s FC5 dedicated footswitch (sold separately), which can also add reverb to your signal while keeping your hands free for other tasks.

Flexible Connectivity and Loopback for Streaming
The AG06MK2 allows you to connect two condenser microphones of your choice, and has two stereo line inputs for instruments, and an upgraded 4-pole mini jack (TRRS) for smartphone input/output capability. Of course, it’s also possible to add audio from devices connected via USB in Loopback mode, as with previous AG models. This diverse range of connectivity makes it possible to use high-sensitivity microphones along with each of the audio sources, for a variety of streaming applications such as podcasts with dialogue, interviews, vocal performances with an acoustic instrument, or even a live band.

Zero-Latency DSP FX
The AG06MK2 comes equipped with optimized 1-TOUCH COMP/EQ and REVERB controls to dial in the sound that best suits your style. The 1-TOUCH amp simulator to add authenticity and punch to your guitar input All these tools are processed by the internal DSP chip so there’s no delay, making it particularly valuable for live streaming when real-time accuracy is crucial. And when you want to capture pure, raw recordings through your preferred microphone and edit them later, you have the option to turn these effects off completely.

Professional-Sounding Audio
