[19.9 lb] Finally replaced my old Shure Brothers mixer from the 1970's with a modern one. The Shure Brothers was built well and is still in service somewhere but this new Yamaha is so loaded with features and handy connections it had to take center stage. I use it in my home studio to record radio skits. Just right for my purposes: clean sound, lots of controls and streamline design. 5

[19.9 lb] Ive had several of this series of mixer including the 20 channel. They are all solid and reliable. I particularly like the ones with the parametric mid control as there is often a low frequency in speakers and rooms that need toning down. For the versions with digital effects, I dont use much of that, in part because you have to use the Aux controls to affect specific channels... you normally dont want the effect to apply to all channels. But overall, these are great, reasonably priced mixers. Yamaha makes good gear in general. 5

Robert	28/08/2024
[19.9 lb] Im just a garage band guy and have only owned a couple of toy mixers. So I cant give an expert review...But coming from the novice side. ...This is a huge step up in quality and usability from the $40 junk Ive been using. 5

Kevin	21/08/2024
[19.9 lb] Can't complain. We use this for small interviews, great size and great sound. 5

[26 dB (mono)] I use it for videotaping when I need only a few mics or if I am getting a feed from the venue. It has enough features to make it flexible and the size makes it ideal for travel and set up. It has saved me many times when audio has been difficult. 5

Michael	21/07/2024
[26 dB (mono)] I bought this mixer specifically to use for small jobs when I do not need my large Mackie or QSC. The main reason I chose this one was because it has balanced XLR outputs, which most of the other mixers in this price range do not have. It does exactly what I need it to do, it is small and portable and the sound is very clean. 5

Dan	14/07/2024
[26 dB (mono)] Compact, solid build, convenient. Good sound. Independent headphone output, line outs and XLR outs. No complaints at all 5

Benjamin F.	22/06/2024
[26 dB (mono)] I'm in radio and, while COVID-19 is taking its course, I'm producing voice spots for automation upload in a converted bedroom closet voice-over booth. The small mixer I started with a couple months ago, a Mackie 402VLZ4, worked well enough amplifying my Aston Stealth mic, but the headphone section on that one refused to drive even the most efficient set of cans beyond a whisper. This was surprising, since that was never a problem with previous/larger Mackies I've owned. The station briefly loaned me some specialized equipment for remote live broadcasting experiments and included in that package was a Yamaha MG10 mixer. Not only did the mic pres sound great on that one, but I could actually hear myself clearly through the 'phones. So, I took a chance and ordered an MG06 for myself. I'm happy to report that the MG06 has the same excellent sound of the MG10 and, yes, the headphone section allows you to actually hear yourself - or whatever else you happen to be recording - loud and clear. When we get back to the point where live concerts are common again (I moonlight by making XY stereo recordings of chamber music for friends in nice acoustical spaces,) I'm anxious to hear what the MG06 will do there. The other criteria important to me is the ability to run my gear off battery power at times. While the larger MG10 needs 18VAC and would require an outboard inverter to go untethered, the smaller MG06 is 12VDC and can easily mate with any reasonably-sized lithium battery power bank. Phantom power on the MG06 is also, apparently, a full 48V. There much to like here in a clean-sounding and well-built package at a bargain price. 5

[19.9 lb] Seems that it is built to last and had no problems to follow instructions and get the settings right for use. The ambient hiss is not a problem when it is actually used to drive the speaker. Haven't tested the backing track playback with this yet. But I trust the Yamaha brand. 5

[-78 dB] I bought it for a microphone setup for streaming. I'm so glad I bought this mixer and it works well for just 100 dollars. 5
