MV100 MIC LINE MIXER
Part of the well regarded Yamaha Studio 100 line up.
I have other items from this configuration for sale in my other listings.
Facilities for four input sources. Input signals can be mixed and output in stereo.
Level switch for channels 1 and 2 allows either microphone or line input.
The built in two band (Low, High) equaliser permits manipulation of sonic characteristics
AUX Send/Return jacks provide compatibility with stereo effectors
Convenient SUB IN (AUX L, R) jacks allow easy addition of extra channels.
LINE IN and REC OUT jacks are also provided.
The master level meter lets you check the output level at a glance.
Headphone Jack with exclusive volume control for private monitoring.
1u Half Rack size.
THE PURPOSE OF the MV100 Mic Line Mixer is to expand on the number of inputs provided by the MT100. It offers four inputs, organised like the MT100’s as two line and two mic/line. Also like the MT100, each channel has individual level and pan controls (here implemented on dual concentric knobs) and aux send level control, with of course a common aux return level control. But the MV100 scores over the MT100 with a master aux send level control which determines the overall effect send level of the four channels (the reason for this should become clear soon), stereo aux returns as opposed to the MT100’s mono return, and lo and hi EQ on the two mic/line channels (providing a 15dB cut and boost on fixed frequencies of 100Hz and 12kHz respectively).
Additionally the MV100 has a front-panel headphone output, complete with output level knob, which provides a stereo mix of all the input signals, and separate L/R master stereo level controls above which are located associated LED indicators.
You can connect up a second MV100, for a total of eight channels, by routing the stereo L/R and Aux Send outputs of the second MV100 into the Sub-input L/R and Sub-input Aux jacks on the rear panel of the first MV100. Having the separate Aux connection allows you to set up effects mixes on both MV100s and route them both through the effects loop of the first MV100; in this way you only need a single effects processor even if you’re using two (or more) MV100s. Very thoughtful on Yamaha’s part.
But the company haven’t stopped there. They’ve also provided L/R Line In phonos on the MV100’s rear panel, which allow you to route the stereo output of, say, the MT100 into the MV100. The input is then mixed with the other MV100 input signals before being output from the Mic Line Mixer’s stereo and record L/R outs. Unlike the MV100’s Sub-input, the Line In facility doesn’t allow you to take a separate Aux feed, so you’ll need separate effects processors for the MV100 and MT100 if you choose the Line In option. Alternatively you could route the MT100 through the MV100’s Sub-inputs, which would allow you to take advantage of the separate Aux feed; if you want to use two MV100s you could always route the MT100 via the second MV100’s Sub-inputs. DJs who want to integrate their mixing setup of two decks and a disco mixer with hi-tech gear such as drum machines and samplers could route the former through the MV100’s Line In sockets.
The advantage of both the Line In and the Sub-input facilities is that you can combine an MT100 and two or more MV100s without losing any of the channel inputs on each unit, so that such a combination would give you 12 or more channels. If you also ping-pong tracks on the MT100 you can effectively increase this number. Routing the MT100 through the MV100 also allows you to take advantage of the latter’s combination of separate L/R stereo and L/R Rec out sockets, whereas the MT100 only has L/R Stereo outs.
Basically, you can decide between two approaches to recording. Routing the MV100(s) to channel inputs on the MT100 ensures that all parts can be recorded to four-track tape. Alternatively, if you route the MT100’s stereo mix output through the MV100 then the channel inputs to the latter can’t be recorded to four-track tape, but in today’s world of MIDI sequencers and multitimbral instruments you can run sequenced parts live in the mix and reserve the MT100 for non-sequenceable parts such as vocals and guitar. Obviously you’ll need to sync up the MT100 and your sequencer, which will entail giving up a tape track to the sync code, and if your sequencer can’t read and write its own sync code then you’ll need an appropriate sync box.
Supplied with a replacement 12v PSU – not the original Yamaha model but also not a cheap and nasty knock-off. Works Well and has a nice long cable.
