The Korena take

The MG12 is a 12-channel Yamaha mixing console with six XLR hybrid mic inputs and twelve line inputs. It combines an easy-to-use control layout with one-knob compression, three-band EQ, mono-channel high-pass filtering, phantom power, SPX processing, metering, and headphone monitoring. Its stated routing includes a stereo bus, group buses, and AUX sends, making it a practical center for installed, recording, or live-music setups that need compact console-style control.
