MG12 XU : Well built, Does the job

9 years ago

I mainly use this mixer as a solo singer/guitarist fort live shows. For most of my work I could use a desk with less channels but I also work in a duo and sometimes with other musicians as well so I need the extra channels.

This is a well built piece mixer although it manages to feel both sturdy and cheap at the same time which is odd.

Sound wise it's a bit toppy, in my opinion, although now I've got used to rolling off top end on everything as a matter of course I find it's got a clean transparent sound.

The onboard FX do the job but I use an external reverb for Mics anyway so I haven't really worked with them, only messed about with them.

Over all I'll happily use this desk until circumstances force a change but I'll never love it.
