The MG82CX is a compact mixer with 8 total input channels: four mono and four stereo line inputs. Mono inputs have switchable 48V phantom power. Stereo inputs can accept either RCA or ¼" connectors. Channels 1 and 2 offer single-knob compression, a Yamaha exclusive. This feature, designed for easy use, allows inputs with very wide dynamics to be better heard. For example, with the right amount of compression, a vocal that must be whispered in quiet parts and screamed out in louder parts will be better balanced in the mix. The built-in digital effect, based on Yamaha’s award winning SPX line of processors, offers 16 reverb, delay and echo editable presets. Dual 8-segment LED meters allow visual monitoring of the main stereo outputs. A small footprint allows easy placement.

Perfect mixer for small venues, a step up from the Eurorack and Folio Jun 12, 2010
I host a monthly Open Mic in Pasadena, at Jones Coffee, a small warehouse space. For the past 10 months I had been using a Behringer Eurorack mixer, which is about the same size as this one, also with 8-ins. Before that, I used a spirit folio, which is a tiny bit smaller. I connect the mixer to 2 Behringer powered speakers. Using this set up, I could handle 3 mics, a couple guitar-ins or a guitar and a keyboard.

A few of my performers would occasionally request reverb on the mics, but I didn't want the hassle of bringing in an aux effects unit and patching it in. I figured the acoustics of the warehouse space provided sufficient reverb. At the same time, I found it challenging to get a decent sound - I could barely get the (Shure) mics loud enough to make the vocals audible without sounding muddy and overamplified, or feeding back.

So I bought a Yamaha MG82CX a couple weeks ago, and used it for last night's Open Mic event. Wow! What a difference! This was the
best sounding event I've hosted. Two features made a big difference: The built-in compression made the vocals sound much better
and more audible - I kept the knobs at about the 1/3 to halfway mark. And the built-in reverb helped make the vocals and some of
the acoustic guitar parts sound wonderful. The trick is not to overuse it. The unit has about half a dozen different reverb
effects - the one I liked the best is called "Vocal Echo".

If you get the optional mounting hardware (I already had a BMS10A mount which I had used with a Yamaha Stagepas PA, and which
also works with this), you can mount the mixer on a mic stand. I found this very convenient.

If you're also evaluating the Yamaha Stagepas, it's not that great by the way. Since the amp powers the speakers, it is designed
with a cooling fan, which on my unit is quite loud. And the built-in reverb on the Stagepas sounds terrible, as compared to the higher quality effects on this unit. Much better to get one of these, and connect it to powered speakers.

A very useful device that's easy to use. It has simplified all the things I used to do that required connecting to my computer's line in socket. Now I'm excited to try new possibilities.
