Very good Mixer
This mixer is very good and its positive features far out-weigh the negative ones. The number of features and sound quality are very good, The sound effects and especially the USB dac are very useful. Overall it is an amazing mixer, however it has few minor negative things.
- I still cannot understand why they removed the mid range equalizer from the stereo inputs, it is not a big deal but i have other mixers and all of them have mid range on both xlr/mic and stereo inputs. The build quality is good but it could be better, the knobs flex more than they should and their feel when rotating them is not the nicest I have felt.
On a side note, I have a big question about the phantom power and the combo jacks (1-4) I have asked 3 - thomann, my local yamaha dealer and yamaha europe, My concern is if the phantom power effect the centre jack socket of the combo jacks. 2 of the 3 entities I asked told me they are not effected whilst thomann live chat told me that the connections are common so the phantom power effect the central jack too. I am still not sure, so for now I cannot use 1-3 and 2-4 as left and right stereo inputs with a jack plug in case it damages my devices.
If the phantom power effect the centre jack of channels 1-4 I would give this unit 6/10, but if it only effect the xlr of those 4 combo jacks I would totally recommend this device and give it 8/10.

Yamaha MG10 XU
I got this product as a "easy" set up, next to my big/robust console, so recording small bands, singer-songwriters or podcasts didn't require an entire setup. This one is permanently "part of my gear".
Super fun to use and I can imagine it speaks to a broad public: singer-songwriters, small bands, podcasts, just people that want control of all their audio in- and out their PC,...
Without having to change my setup I can use this for Skype and live events, recording or just listening to music. The build in FX are very fun to play around with. All my cables going to the same device: it's heaven for someone who wants their cable management as clean as possible.
It was easy to set up, drivers installed without any problems. Good build quality. And, very easy to use. Not a bad word about this product: one of my best investments!

Optimal mixer även för nybörjare
Jag önskade skaffa en mixer för events (liveframträdande, party, disco) med följande egenskaper:
- enkelt handhavande
- kvalitetsbygge
- separat nätadapter
- XLR stereo utgångar
- rimligt pris
Själv är jag ingen musiker, har ingen större tidigare erfarenhet av att använda mixers. Mixern är logisk uppbyggd. Tack vare kort men lätt överskådlig manual är det mycket lätt att komma igång med mixern. Användning av mixning mellan olika kanaler samt ljudprocessorn fungerar smidigt.
Mixern andas kvalité, välbyggd. Storleken känns fortfarande kompakt i förhållande till alla funktioner. Ett plus för den lätta vikten! En unik funktion är
de 4 kombinerade mikrofon ingångarna som är XLR/1/4" Jack - det sparar plats!
Den separata nätadaptern har en pålitlig anslutning till mixern. Nätadaptern blir inte för varmt även om mixern används flera timmar i streck. Jag gillar den separata ON/OFF knapp på baksidan.
Med XLR stereo utgångar kan jag använda mina högtalare med inbyggda förstärkare utan störande brus. :-)
Ljudkvalitén, den inbyggda ljudprocessorn är imponerande.
Sammanfattning:
Välljudande, mycket enkel att använda, attraktivt pris
Jag rekommenderar köp.

Excellent little mixer, portable, robust, great sound
I have used this mixer for a couple of years with a 3 piece folk group and everything still works perfectly. It is very easy to use and packs a lot of features for its price point. It?s also very portable - I can fit it in the front pocket of my acoustic gig bag.
It?s made of high quality material and feels like it could take a beating - though mine has been treated with care. All the knobs have a smooth travel and a notch for centering where applicable (EQ, Pan). I have had a few mixers around this price point and this one definitely felt the most premium. I also got the BMS10A Stand Adapter to sit it on a mic stand and it felt very secure.
The sound is crystal clear and you get a decent amount of control. The compression on channels 1 and 2 work great for vocals and I usually set them sbout half way every gig. I wanted a mixer with compression from a reputable brand and the MG10XU delivered.
Overall a great mixer, would definitely recommend.

An RTFM but well worth the buy!
You have to Read The F* Manual! Recording is at first a technical challenge, only after that a creative challenge. Get your setup right, including how the mixer works and look into room acoustics, because yours most likely suck.
You also need to consider what you’re doing : are you recording a whole band or just one instrument or a combination of instruments? It offers a lot of options, including fun effects that you can approach individually but not all at the same time. It’s a wonderful tool, but you need to learn to work with it.
For instance, use the software monitor instead of the built-in monitor when recording, because that’s the sound you’re really recording. Pan full left for the recording instrument and full-right for the playback of what you already have. Only record the left audio-output to make sure that the playback isn’t automatically mixed into the recording of the instrument if you don’t want that.
Get a book on mixing and mastering.
Did I mention that you can download Cubase AI to record your songs when you buy this? For free? I need few words to describe it’s awesome, but many more to illustrate the options. Great buy!

Reliable Piece of Equipment
Bought this Yamaha MG10XU about 8 years ago and it has been completely reliable ever since. Solid build quality, clean sound, useful effects, and enough inputs for a small home studio. After years of regular use, everything still works as it should. A very dependable little mixer that was well worth the money.

Great mixer
I have been using this mixer for a few years now.
It's great.
Superb build quality
Mostly used live with
2 mics (ch1 and 2),
guitar (ch4)
piano (ch5/6)
phone(ch7/8).
Easy to use and very pretty layout. Although this is a matter of taste.
Good built in reverb effects as well.
Came with cubase but that's not my DAW so a great addition if you are looking for one. I recommend Ableton myself.
Use this for live gigs or as a usb mixer.
Bands, singer/songwriters, podcasts etc will all be loving this mixer!
Maybe as a podcast you could use a smaller version.
Still great mixer and brought it with me to many gigs.
If you treat it nicely it will last a long time.

perfect for a small dawless setup
I have been using it for years and it is rock solid. Perfect mixer to plug a drum machine and a few synths. Preamps, compressor and effects are top quality. Only thing that frustrates me is that there is no effects return - you need to spend a input channel for the return. But I understand that this is the standard for this category.
