Congratulations!
You are the proud owner of a Yamaha MC-series Mixing Console.’ Whether you
chose the 8, 12 or 16-channel model, your Yamaha mixing console is a high-quality
product that will give you superior performance in a wide range of applications. In |
addition to offering a versatile mixing system, the MC-series consoles offer electron-
ically balanced inputs and stereo outputs to maintain optimum ‘signal quality over
long cable runs, a versatile 3-band equalizer with sweepable mid-frequency EQ. on
each input channel, three independent AUX .submix systems for external effects.
routing or additional power amplifier feeds, cue switches for independent monitor-
ing of all input channels and busses, and a built-in talkback system for convenient
communication. mE М
Of course, the MC-series mixing consoles also offer the high standard of quality and
great sound that Yamaha is famous for. We urge you to read this operation manual

PRECAUTIONS
. AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT, HUMIDITY, DUST AND
VIBRATION
Keep the unit away from locations where it is likely to be
exposed to high temperatures or humidity—such as near
radiators, stoves, etc. Also avoid locations which are
subject to excessive dust accumulation or vibration which '
could cause mechanical damage.
. AVOID PHYSICAL SHOCKS |
Strong physical shocks to the unit can cause damage.
Handle it with care.
. DO NOT OPEN THE UNIT OR ATTEMPT REPAI RS OR
MODIFICATIONS YOURSELF
This product contains no user-serviceable parts, Refer all
maintenance to qualified Yamaha service personnel. Open-
ing the unit and/or tampering with the internal circuitry
will void the warranty.
. MAKE SURE POWER !S OFF BEFORE MAKING OR
REMOVING CONNECTIONS
Always turn the power OFF prior to connecting or dis-
connecting cables. This is important to prevent damage to
the unit itself as well as other connected equipment.
5. HANDLE CABLES CAREFULLY
Always plug andunplug cables—including the AC cord—by
gripping the connector, not the cord,
. CLEAN WITH A SOFT DRY CLOTH
Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the
unit, Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
7. ALWAYS USE THE CORRECT POWER SOURCE
Make sure that the power source voltage specified on the
rear panel matches your local AC mains supply.
U.S. & Canadian Models: 120V AC, 60Hz
General Model: 110 — 120/220 — 240 V AC, 50/60Hz

^ Q9 PAD Switch
This switch attenuates the signal applied t
input circuitry when receiving high-level signals.
@ GAIN Control
This
control
adjusts
the
input
sensitivity
of
each
input
channel
between
—60
dB
(0.775
mV)
and —20 dB (77.5 mV) when the PAD switch is OFF (between —40 dB and 0 dB when the PAD
switch is ON). Continuously variable gain control allows optimum matching with virtually any
microphone or fine source.
@ CLIP LED Indicator
The CLIP indicator LED lights when the post-EQ signal of the corresponding channel's input
reaches a level 3 dB below the clipping level of the channel's circuitry. If the CLIP indicator
lights more than only briefly on high-level transients it is necessary to decrease the input sensi-
tivity of the channel using the GAIN control and PAD switch or, if this does not provide
sufficient attenuation, to reduce the output level of the source connected to that channel's
input.
@ 3-band Equalizer
The equalizer section provided on each input channel comprises shelving LOW and HIGH con-
trols, and a peaking MID control with a MID FREQ control that permits sweeping the midrange.

PAN Pots
The PAN pot determines the position in the stereo sound field at which the sound from that
channel
is
heard,
Rotated
fully
counterclockwise
the
channel
signal
will
be
delivered
from
the
left stereo output only, and will be heard at the far left of the sound field, If the PAN pot is
turned fully clockwise, the sound from that channel will appear at the far right of the stereo
sound field, If the PAN pot is set at its center position, the channel signal will be sent equally
to both the left and right channels, causing the sound to appear at the center of the sound field.
Intermediate PAN pot settings cause the sound to be heard at the corresponding position.
@ CUE Switch
When
the
CUE
switch
is
pressed,
the
pre-EQ/pre-fader
signal
from
that
channel
is
fed
to
the
PHONES
output
via
the
CUE/PHONES
level
control.
The
channel
cue
signal
will
be
added
to
any
other
active
cue
signal,
If
you
want
to
monitor
only
the
signal
from
a
single
channel,
make
sure
all
other
CUE
switches
are
turned
OFF.

Q Channel Fader | |
This is the main level control for each input channel. It determines the level of the signal sent
from the corresponding input charinel to the master stereo buss. The settings of the input
channel faders determine the "mix" or balance of sound levels between the instruments or
. other sources connected to the inputs.
* If a channel is not being used, its fader should be set to the minimum position to prevent
unwanted noise from being added to the main program signal.

The MC-series mixing console feature three VU meters with built-in LED peak indicators for
monitoring signal levels. The rightmost meter pair(L — ST — R) continuously monitors signals
on the main stereo program buss. The AUX/CUE meter can be switched to monitor signals on
the AUX 1, AUX 2, AUX 3 or CUE busses by pressing the corresponding METER assign
