MGP32X/MGP24X Owner’s Manual 5
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha MGP32X/MGP24X mixing console.
Please read this manual thoroughly to make the best use of the mixing console for the longest possible period of time.
After reading this manual, please keep it available for future reference.
Main features
D-PRE (Discrete Class-A MIC preamp)
Mono input channels are equipped with Class-A discrete microphone preamplifiers. The head amplifier features an inverted Darlington circuit* used in high-end audio devices, and reproduces low frequencies with exceptionally musical characteristics as well as sustained high frequencies. Independent toggle switching of +48V phantom power and 26dB (pad) on each channel.
* Inverted Darlington circuit: An amplifying method for eliminating the nonlinear characteristics of the amplifier element and suppressing the distortion. The circuit features highly musical phase characteristics.
X-pressive EQ
The shelving EQ (low/high) on the mono input channels features
Xpressive EQ, which effectively models analog EQ utilizing
Yamaha’s famed VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) technology.
We analyzed vintage EQ analog circuits and redesigned the technology specifically for the MGP to create an EQ with exceptionally musical characteristics. Furthermore, the cutoff frequency can also be adjusted, enhancing use of the EQ in sound reinforcement applications, and extending the sonic control range of the mixer.
USB device recorder
A USB device recorder is built into the mixer for recording mixed audio to a USB device as an audio file, and for playing back music saved in the USB device by assigning it to the desired channel output or bus output. Supported file formats are MP3
(MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3) and WAV for recording and MP3,
WAV, and AAC for playback.
Stereo master – COMP and GEQ
The stereo master is equipped with a compressor (COMP) or multiband compressor that adjusts the sound pressure of the output signal, and with a graphic equalizer (GEQ) that adjusts sound quality such as feedback.
Digital effects — REV-X and SPX
Two powerful digital effect blocks are built into the mixer: REV-
X (8 types) and SPX (16 types). REV-X gives you a high-density, richly reverberant sound ambience, with smooth attenuation, spread and depth that work together to enhance the original sound. The versatile SPX block features a variety of effect applications, such as reverb, delay, and modulation effects, along with complex combinations of multiple effects.
Convenient, practical functions for events –
Ducker, Leveler, and Stereo Image
The mixer features three exceptionally convenient features for the stereo input channels: Ducker, Leveler and Stereo Image. The ducker function automatically lowers the level of background music to accommodate the voice of an announcer coming in on another channel. The leveler function automatically maintains a consistent sound volume, even when using sound sources that have different mastering levels. Stereo image narrows the pan balance of the stereo sound source, and changes stereo signals to mono. This is useful in restaurants and other spaces where the left and right speakers are distantly positioned, or when you input accompaniment sound to the left channel and vocal sound to the right and want a more natural stereo image.
USB port for playing and charging your iPod/ iPhone
Digital audio output from the iPod/iPhone can be directly input to the unit, and the iPod/iPhone can be charged while connected.
About the models
The MGP32X and MGP24X feature a different number of monaural input channels and COMP control knobs. The MGP32X has
24 monaural input channels and the MGP24X has 16. The
MGP32X is equipped with 16 COMP control knobs for channels
9-24 and the MGP24X with 8 COMP control knobs for channels
9-16.
Conventions in this manual
• Whenever there is a different number of channels or a different channel number for the same function between the MGP32X and the MGP24X, the number that applies only to the MGP24X model is enclosed in curly brackets { }. For example, “CH1-24
{CH1-16}” means channels 1-24 for the MGP32X and channels 1-16 for the MGP24X.
* “CH” is an abbreviation for channel.
• Control knobs on the panel are called “knobs.” Some knobs rotate from a minimum value to a maximum value, while others rotate endlessly.

On stereo channels, the LINE L (odd) and LINE R (even) input signals are mixed before moving into the AUX bus. These knobs should generally be set close to the “ t” (nominal) position.
NOTE
• To enable use of AUX5 and AUX6, you must turn on ( the AUX5/AUX6 switch (!5).
)
• For AUX1 to AUX4, you use the PRE switch (!3) to select whether the pre-fader or post-fader signal is sent to the bus.
For AUX5 and AUX6, only the post-fader signal can be sent.
!3 PRE switch
Selects whether the pre-fader or the post-fader signal is fed to the corresponding pair of AUX 1-4 buses. AUX1 and 2 and also AUX3 and 4 should be paired. The upper PRE switch controls the signal to AUX1 and AUX2; the lower switch controls the signal to AUX3 and AUX4. If the switch is on
( ), the mixer feeds the pre-fader signal to the corresponding buses. If off ( ), the mixer feeds the post-fader signal.
!4 FX (effect) knobs (1, 2)
These knobs adjust the channel’s post-fader signal levels into
FX buses 1 and 2. On stereo channels, the LINE L (odd) and
LINE R (even) input signals are mixed before moving into the FX bus. These knobs should generally be set close to the
“ t” (nominal) position.
NOTE
If the AUX5/AUX6 switch is on, these knobs adjust the output to the AUX5 and AUX6 buses.
!5 AUX5, AUX6 switch
Selects whether the channel’s post-fader signal is sent to
AUX buses 5 and 6 or FX buses l and 2. If the switch is on
( ), the signal goes to AUX5 and 6 buses; if off ( ), the signal goes to the FX buses.
!6 PAN knob (Mono channels)
BAL knob (Stereo channels)
These knobs set the stereo pan position and determine the volume balance between left and right. When the channels are panned hard left or hard right, sound is heard from only the hard-panned channel.
The PAN knob determines each mono signal’s pan positioning between left and right, while the BAL knob determines the stereo channel’s volume balance between left and right.
!7 ON switches
Turning this switch on ( ) sends that channel’s signal to the buses. When the switch is turned on, the switch’s lamp comes on. If you turn the switch off ( ), all of the signal sent to the buses such as AUX and GROUP buses is cut off.
NOTE
• The ON switch does not affect the operation of the PFL switch (@1). You can monitor the channel’s pre-fader signal through the PHONES jack even when the ON switch is off.
• To reduce noise, turn all unused channels off.
!8 PEAK indicator
Lights red when the channel’s post-equalizer signal level reaches 3 dB before clipping.
!9 SIG (Signal) indicator
Lights green when a signal is being input to the channel.
@0 Bus assign switches
These switches determine the bus(es) to which each channel’s signal is sent. Press the switch in ( ) to output the signal to the corresponding bus.
• Switches 1-2, 3-4: Assign the channel’s signal to the
GROUP 1 to 4 buses.
• ST switch: Assigns the channel’s signal to the STE-
REO L and R buses.
NOTE
To send the signal to each bus, engage the ON switch (!7).
@1 PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) switch and indicator
When the PFL switch is turned on ( ) the indicator comes on and the channel pre-fader signal is output to the MONI-
TOR OUT and PHONES jacks for monitoring.
@2 Channel fader
Adjusts the output level of the input channel signal. Use these faders to adjust the balance between the various channels.
NOTE
To reduce noise, set the fader sliders for any unused channels all the way down.

You may have to lower the FX1, FX2 knobs, FX RTN fader, and COMP knob levels.
Are two different instruments connected to the XLR-type and phone jacks, or to the phone and
RCA pin jacks on one channel?
Make sure to connect to only one of these jacks on each channel.
Are microphones connected to the INPUT A input jacks?
If you are using condenser microphones, is the +48V switch turned ON?
If you are connecting a device which has a specified output level of +4dBu, turn on the 26dB
(PAD) switch of the mono channels or use stereo channels.
(Stereo channel) Is the DUCKER switch turned on?
When a signal is constantly input to CH24 {CH16} or the GROUP 1 bus, the sound becomes faint.
Check that the FX1 and FX2 knobs on each channel are adjusted correctly.
Check whether the ON button of the FX1 RTN and/or FX2 RTN channel is turned on.
Be sure that Knob 2, and the FX1 RTN and/or FX2 RTN faders are correctly adjusted.

Troubleshooting
Cannot record to a USB device
Is the USB device write-protected?
Does the USB device have sufficient capacity to save the data?
Is the USB device formatted in FAT32 format?
Since high transmission speed is required for recording in WAV format, recording songs to
USB flash drives may not be possible. We recommend using HDD (hard disc drive) or SSD
(solid-state drive) when recording songs.
If you use a USB flash drive for recording songs, change the recording format to MP3:128k,
MP3:192k, MP3:256k, or MP3:320k.
The supported iPod/ iPhone is not recognized.
If the memory is fragmented significantly, try running a defragmentation program on the computer.
Is the output signal assignment set appropriately? (page 36)
iPod/iPhone signal is not output.
When a stereo signal is input, the left and right volume is different.
Is the iPod indicator turned off?
The unit has not recognized your iPod/iPhone. Check which iPod/iPhone models are supported.
If your iPod/iPhone has not been charged, it may take some time to be recognized by the mixer.
Please wait.
Is the pan knob set to the center position?
If it is located in the center, try swapping the connections. If the lesser/greater volume signals are also switched, check the connected device(s).
The sound level is inconsistent, or there is an unnatural “pumping” in the sound.
Is the same type of cable used for the right and left signals?
A cable with resistance lowers the volume.
Are you applying the compressor at an appropriate level?
You might have to lower the COMP knob levels.
The Leveler is not enabled. Is the GAIN knob on the stereo channels adjusted appropriately?
The leveler may not be enabled if you increase the gain too much.
* If any specific problem should persist, please contact your Yamaha dealer.
