Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Yamaha MG24/14FX 24 Channel Mixing Console.

Setup and maintenance

  • Cleaning the mixer with tuner spray can resolve issues; corrosion, especially on inserts, might cause channel failures.

    Source
  • Using a DI box is recommended to balance the signal and isolate potential issues from the keyboard's stereo headphone output.

    Source
  • Checking the keyboard output voltage and mixer manual specs can help diagnose if signal levels are causing channel failures.

    Source
  • Examining the console for visual damage, like popped capacitors or discolored PCBs, can identify internal issues causing channel failures.

    Source
  • Owners recommend using Deoxit D5 sparingly for cleaning contacts, and F5 along with FaderLube for faders to improve performance and longevity.

    Source
  • It's suggested to use a dedicated non-conductive PCB cleaner with a toothbrush for stubborn grime and to avoid using cheap contact cleaners that may worsen conditions.

    Source
  • Disassembling involves handling four larger PCBs with interconnects; labeling cables and cleaning one PCB at a time is advised to prevent reconnection errors.

    Source
  • Cleaning putty is effective for removing dust from tight spaces between knobs, providing a deeper clean without pushing dust into the console.

    Source
  • Owners are advised to stay clear of the power section during cleaning, as filter caps can hold a charge and pose a shock risk.

    Source

Features and functionality

  • The mixer’s channels might lack protection diodes for stereo inputs, making them susceptible to damage without a DI box.

    Source
  • The Yamaha MG24/14FX records a stereo file through USB, capturing the L/R master or a stereo matrix, not individual tracks.

    Source

Other

  • Power surges or grounding issues might contribute to repeated channel failures, suggesting the need for a whole-panel surge arrestor.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • For multitrack recording, consider a multichannel interface and connect it to the AUX outputs for six mono tracks, or to stereo groups for four stereo tracks.

    Source
  • Obtained from an online radio station, these mixers may require extensive cleaning due to dust and grime affecting performance.

    Source

User experience

  • Despite limitations, users report it's effective for mixing down to a 2-track, especially in home studio scenarios with limited mic use.

    Source

Build quality

  • The console has been noted for having sticky "On" and "PFL" buttons, which may require internal cleaning or lubrication to restore functionality.
