In my setup, the 5/6 channel knob receives the submixer output, and the 3/4 one controls the amount of processed signal coming from the MG10 aux send and the FX pedals. To my ears, it sounds phenomenal, there's a little noise but barely noticeable unless you crank everything up. The bonus is that you get two extra preamps (with effects) for connecting microphones, ipods or whatever.

For gigging, recording, and installed applications alike, your console can be subjected to a wide range of environmental conditions and hazards. Excessive humidity, unstable power supplies, and the rigors of road travel in general can take a serious toll on a mixing console, often causing expensive, time-consuming repairs, and reducing its lifespan. The MG06X's all-metal chassis gives it a presence and ruggedness for life on the road, whilst remaining lightweight (under 1kg!). Two Class A D-PRE microphone preamps deliver high headroom, low impedance, and clear full-range sound. +48v Phantom Power also allows the home producer or live engineer to connect more sensitive condenser microphones to the MG06, great for mixing low-level instruments on stage or studio vocal microphones. This road tested, intelligently designed yet tiny nonpowered mixing board is well designed, built with both plastic and metal, has built-in effects (only one at a time) for the first two channels, had both xlr and 1/4" outputs plus a headphone out with volume control. Also on the MG06X are a bank of Yamaha SPX effects to further enhance your sound with no need to add in additional processors. Here's what Yamaha say about the Yamaha MG Series XU Mixers Using the board as a multi-keyboard monitor system with a powered JBL-10 speaker for bands and keys/vocal for solo.Yamaha MG10XU 10-channel Mixer with USB and FX 10-channel Analog Mixer with 4 Microphone Preamps, 3 Dedicated Stereo Line Channels, 1 Aux Send, EQ, 1-knob Compressors, and Digital Effects PA-130 (DC12 V/1.0 A, Cable length = 1.8 m), 120 V, 60 Hz, MU18 (DC12 V/1.5 A, Cable length = 1.5 m), 100 V-240 V, 50 Hz/60 Hz or equivalent recommended by Yamaha Completely redesigned for the 3rd Generation of MG mixers, the compact MG06X features 2 class leading Class A D-PRE microphone preamps and a range of Yamaha's acclaimed SPX effects. Alternatively, if you wanted to increase the signal level of the piano sound or add a level of compression, you could use the individual channels 1 and 2 for the left and right piano channels respectively - you'd want to use the pan controls to set channel 1 to hard-left, and channel 2 to hard-right.

I plugged in a Shure Beta 58 vocal mic and an acoustic guitar direct into the board and was really encouraged by how easy it was to get right into playing music. The EQ section is wide ranging and I was able to dial in a clear and warm tone on both my voice and my guitar. The sweepable midrange is a great feature for that. The “one knob compressor” gave both my voice and guitar a nice boost and presence. Then by bringing in some of the onboard effects really brought everything together. The reverbs are very nice sounding and clean and even some of the crazier effects like the tremolo, flanger, and distortion are very usable. They made the AUX knob for the onboard effect white so you can’t miss it. There are some minor gripes I've encountered. They're pretty minimal but you should consider them depending of what you're looking for

The Yamaha CGS103A is a perfect guitar for young beginners! The shape and feel of the 3/4-sized CGS103A makes it appropriate for elementary school-aged kids up... Most of the basics are there, such as EQ functions, a headphone out, switchable phantom power for two of the inputs (channel 1 and two are combination XLR/TRS), and balanced XLR and 1/4-inch stereo outs. Unfortunately a few things disappeared from the previous entry-level MG-series mixers, including the effects loop, compression, the monitor outs, and the mids for the EQ.
