PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device. The required voltage is
printed on the name plate of the device.
• Use only the included power adaptor (PA-30 or an equivalent recommended by
Yamaha).
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and
do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on
it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything
over it.
• Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify
them in any way. The device contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should
appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions,
or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden
loss of sound during use of the device, or if any unusual smells or smoke
should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,
disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device inspected by
qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• If this device or the AC power adaptor should be dropped or damaged,
immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the
outlet, and have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is not to be used for
extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• When removing the electric plug from the device or an outlet, always hold the
plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
•To avoid generating unwanted noise, make sure there is adequate distance (50
cm or more) between the AC power adaptor and the device.
• Do not cover or wrap the AC power adaptor with a cloth or blanket.
• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.
• When setting up the device, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily
accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the
power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power
switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product all the minimum
level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug
the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
• If this device is to be mounted in an EIA-standard rack, leave the back of the rack
open and make sure that it is at least 10 cm away from walls or surfaces. Also, if
this device is to be mounted with devices that tend to generate heat, such as
power amplifiers, be sure to keep an adequate gap between this device and the
heat-generating devices or install ventilation panels to prevent high
temperatures from developing inside this device.
Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the
device(s), or even fire.
•Avoid setting all equalizer controls and faders to their maximum. Depending on
the condition of the connected devices, doing so may cause feedback and may
damage the speakers.
• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat
(such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent
the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall
over.
• Do not block the vents. This device has ventilation holes at the bottom/rear to
prevent the internal temperature from becoming too high. In particular, do not
place the device on its side or upside down. Inadequate ventilation can result in
overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even fire.
• Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile
phone, or other electric devices. Doing so may result in noise, both in the device
itself and in the TV or radio next to it.
• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all devices.
Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to
minimum.
• When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the power
amplifier LAST, to avoid speaker damage. When turning the power off, the power
amplifier should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.
• Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on the device
(vents, etc.).
•Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into any
gaps or openings on the device (vents, etc.) If this happens, turn off the power
immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the
device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not use the device or headphones for a long period of time at a high or
uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you
experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
• Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it, and avoid use
excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

Connecting Microphones and/or Instru-
ments.
For details on making connections refer to the “Setup”
section on page 15 and the “Front & Rear Panels” sec-
tion on page 16.
To prevent loud pops and noises, turn on the
power to your sound gear starting with the
sources (instruments, CD players, etc.) and end-
ing with the power amplifier or powered speakers.
Example : Instruments, microphones, and CD players first, then
the mixer, and finally the power amplifier or powered
speakers.
Observe the following precautions when
turning on phantom power.
• Make sure that the PHANTOM switch is off when
phantom power is not needed.
• When turning the switch on, be sure that only con-
denser microphones are connected to the XLR input
jacks. Other devices may be damaged if connected
to phantom power. This precaution does not apply to
balanced dynamic microphones, however, as these
will not be affected by phantom power.
•To minimize the possibility of speaker damage, turn
phantom power on ONLY while your power amplifier
or powered speakers are switched off. It’s also a
good idea to turn the mixer’s output controls—STE-
REO OUT Master fader , GROUP 1-2 fader and
GROUP 3-4 fader—all the way down.
•We recommend that you set the computer output to the
maximum level and mute the computer’s internal
speaker. For details on how to make the setting refer to
the “The recorded sound is too low in level.” in the “Trou-
bleshooting” on page 24.
• The first time you connect to the computer’s USB con-
nector, or change the connection to a different USB port,
a driver installation display may appear after turning the
power to the MG mixer on. If this occurs, wait until the
installation is complete before proceeding.
DI
USB cable
Be sure to turn the MG mixer
PHANTOM switch on when
using phantom-powered con-
denser microphones.
Although electric guitars
and basses can be con-
nected directly to the
mixer’s inputs, the sound is
likely to be thin and possi-
bly noisy. For best results
with these types of instru-
ments use a DI box (direct
box) or amp simulator
between the instrument
and the mixer.
Step
3
Powering Up the System
CAUTION
NOTE
Balanced, Unbalanced—What’s the Difference?
In a word: “noise.” The whole point of balanced lines is noise
rejection, and it’s something they’re very good at. Any length of
wire will act as an antenna to pick up the random electromag-
netic radiation we’re constantly surrounded by: radio and TV sig-
nals as well as spurious electromagnetic noise generated by
power lines, motors, electric appliances, computer monitors, and
a variety of other sources. The longer the wire, the more noise it
is likely to pick up.
That’s why balanced lines are the best choice for long cable runs.
If your “studio” is basically confined to your desktop and all con-
nections are no more than a meter or two in length, then unbal-
anced lines are fine—unless you’re surrounded by extremely
high levels of electromagnetic noise. Another place balanced
lines are almost always used is in microphone cables. The rea-
son for this is that the output signal from most microphones is
very small, so even a tiny amount of noise will be relatively large,
and will be amplified to an alarming degree in the mixer’s high-
gain head amplifier.

Level Adjustment
1
The first step is to set the level controls on
all instruments and other sources appro-
priately.
2
Adjust the channel GAIN controls so that
the corresponding PEAK indicators flash
briefly on the highest peak levels.
3
Engage the ON and ST switches of the input
channels that you would like to record.
4
Make sure that the PFL switch is off ( ),
and that the MONITOR switch is set to STE-
REO ( ).
5
Raise the STEREO OUT Master fader to the
0 dB position.
6
Set the channel faders to create the
desired initial balance while monitoring via
headphones or monitor speakers. The
overall headphone level is adjusted by the
MONITOR/PHONES control.
Tone Adjustment
The MG mixer’s compressors, 3-band equalizers and digital
effects make it easy to shape the tone of independent
channels to achieve the best possible mix.
The MG166CX-USB has built-in digital effects. Refer to
“Use the Built-in Digital Effects to Refine Your Mixes” on
page 14 and “Digital Effect Program List” on page 23 for
details.

Compression
One form of compression known as “limiting” can, when
properly used, produce a smooth, unified sound with no
excessive peaks or distortion. A common example of the use
of compression is to “tame” a vocal that has a wide dynamic
range in order to tighten up the mix. Compression can also
be applied to guitar tracks to add extra sustain. Too much
compression can be a cause of feedback, however, so use it
sparingly.
Equalizer Tips
The best advice that can be given regarding equalization
while recording is simply to use as little equalization as possi-
ble. If you want a little more presence you can turn the HIGH
end up a bit. Or you can boost the bass a little if you feel the
low end is lacking. During recording it’s better to use EQ
sparingly for compensation only.
●
Cut for a Cleaner Mix
For example: pianos have a lot of energy in the mid and
low frequency ranges that you don’t really perceive as
musical sound, but which can interfere with the clarity of
other instruments in these ranges. You can basically turn
the low EQ on piano channels all the way down without
changing the way they sound in the mix. You’ll hear the dif-
ference, however, in the way the mix sounds more “spa-
cious,” and instruments in the lower ranges will have better
definition. Naturally you won’t want to do this if the piano is
playing solo.
The reverse applies to kick drums and bass guitars: you
can often roll off the high end to create more space in the
mix without compromising the character of the instru-
ments. You’ll have to use your ears, though, because each
instrument is different and sometimes you’ll want the
“snap” of a bass guitar, for example, to come through.

Preparing to Record
1
Click in the track list (the area in which the
track names are displayed) to select a
track to record on.
The various settings for the selected track are available
in the Inspector on the left side of the display.
You will normally use a stereo track when
recording synthesizers, and a monaural track
when recording vocals or guitar.
2
Click the Input Routing field in the Inspec-
tor to select the audio input source. Select
“Stereo In 1” for a stereo track and “Left
(Right)-Stereo In 1” for a monaural track.
3
Make sure the [Record Enable] button for
the track to be recorded is turned on.
If the [Record Enable] button is off, click it to turn it on.
4
Play the instrument to be recorded, and
adjust the MG mixer’s GAIN controls, chan-
nel faders and STEREO OUT Master fader
so that the Clipping indicator never light.
5
Specify the point at which you want to start
recording via the ruler at the top of the
project window.
Click the black area of the ruler to move the project cur-
sor (the vertical black line) to that position.
Recording and Playback

To hear playback of the track you have just
recorded, use either the Transport panel
[Rewind] button or the ruler to rewind to
the beginning of the recorded section, then
click the Transport panel [Start] button.
The overall playback level will be displayed via the mas-
ter section bus level meter on the right side of the mixer
window, and the channel level will be displayed via the
channel strip level meter.
• Click the [Narrow/Wide] button in the upper left
corner of the mixer window to increase the
width of the mixer’s channel strips.
• The output signal from Cubase AI 4 is routed to
the MG mixer’s 2TR IN inputs. To hear the play-
back sound via a pair of headphones plugged
into the MG mixer, set the bus select switch to
TO MONITOR ( ) and adjust the volume with
the 2TR IN/USB control and the MONITOR/
PHONES control.
5
To save the project file select [Save]
from the [File] menu and enter a file
name before actually saving the file.
Save your project file frequently to insure against losing
large amounts of data if a problem occurs.
6
Repeat steps 1 through 5 to record further
material on the same track.
7
To record additional material on a different
track, select a new track and repeat the
record procedure.
You can monitor the sound being recorded and
a previously recorded sound simultaneously
while recording (MONITOR MIX). Refer to “F
2TR IN/USB” on page 22 for details.
In this section we’ll try mixing down multiple recorded audio tracks to stereo, and creating a wav file. Mixes can be stored as
WAV or AIFF files, which can then be recorded to audio CDs.
1
Launch Cubase AI 4 and open a project
file.
2
Click the [Start] button on the Transport
Panel.
3
While listening to playback, drag the chan-
nel strip level faders up and down to create
the desired initial balance, then adjust the
overall volume using the bus volume fader.
4
Drag the pan controls on the top of the
channel strips left and right to set the
stereo position of each track.

At this point you can begin to use EQ to
refine your mix, and add effects.
As an example let’s try adding reverb. Click the [Edit]
button ( ) on the left side of the channel strip to
open the VST audio channel settings window. Click
Insert 1 and select Earlier VST Plug-ins → Reverb →
RoomWorks SE.
For further details refer to the pdf manual pro-
vided with the Cubase AI 4 software.
It’s a good idea to lower the channel fader a
bit before adding an effect, since the effect
can cause an increase in the overall channel
level.
6
When the final mix adjustments have
been made, go to the [File] menu and
select [Export] → [Audio Mixdown].
7
Enter a file name and select a destina-
tion for the file as well as a file type.
If you intend to use the file to create an audio CD, select
the WAV file type (AIFF on Macintosh OS X), Stereo
Out (stereo), 16 bit, and 44.1 kHz.
8
Click [Export].
Progress of the mixdown operation will be shown in a
progress window. When the progress window closes the
mixdown is complete.
Wave files created by mixdown can be directly
played back using the Windows Media Player,
or iTunes on a Macintosh computer.

●
Reverb and Delay Time
The optimum reverb time for a piece of music will depend on the
music’s tempo and density, but as a general rule longer reverb
times are good for ballads, while shorter reverb times are more
suited to uptempo tunes. Delay times can be adjusted to create a
wide variety of “grooves”. When adding delay to a vocal, for
example, try setting the delay time to dotted eighth notes corre-
sponding to the tune’s tempo.
●
Reverb Tone
Different reverb programs will have different “reverb tone” due to
differences in the reverb time of the high or low frequencies. Too
much reverb, particularly in the high frequencies, can result in
unnatural sound and interfere with the high frequencies in other
parts of the mix. It’s always a good idea to choose a reverb pro-
gram that gives you the depth you want without detracting from
the clarity of the mix.
●
Reverb Level
It’s amazing how quickly your ears can lose perspective and fool
you into believing that a totally washed-out mix sounds perfectly
fine. To avoid falling into this trap start with reverb level all the way
down, then gradually bring the reverb into the mix until you can
just hear the difference. Any more than this normally becomes a
“special effect.”
For details on the modulation effects, refer to “Digital
Effect Program List (Only MG166CX-USB)” on page 23.

1 MIC Input jacks
These are balanced XLR-type microphone input jacks. (1:
Ground; 2: Hot; 3: Cold)
2 LINE Input Jacks (monaural channels)
These are balanced TRS phone-jack line inputs. (T: Hot; R:
Cold; S: Ground). You can connect either balanced or unbal-
anced phone plugs to these jacks.
3 LINE Input Jacks (stereo channels)
These are unbalanced phone-jack stereo line inputs.
4 LINE Input Jacks (stereo channels)
These are unbalanced stereo RCA pin jacks.
On channels that provide multiple input jack options
only one type of jack can be used at a time.
5 INSERT Jacks
These jacks can be used to insert an external signal-process-
ing device between the equalizer and fader of the corre-
sponding monaural input channel. The INSERT jacks are
ideal for connecting devices such as graphic equalizers,
compressors, or noise filters into the corresponding chan-
nels.
These are TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) phone jacks that
carry both the send and return signal (tip = send/out;
ring = return/in; sleeve = ground). Patching external
devices via an INSERT jack requires a special cable
such as illustrated below (insert cable sold sepa-
rately).
The signal output from the INSERT jacks is
reverse-phased. This should not be a problem
when connecting to an effect unit, but please be
aware of the possibility of phase conflict when
connecting to other types of device. A reversed-
phased signal may result in degraded sound
quality or even complete sound cancellation.
6 GAIN Control
Adjusts the input signal level. To get the best balance
between the S/N ratio and the dynamic range, adjust the gain
so that the PEAK indicator
9 lights only occasionally and
briefly on the highest input transients. The -60 to -16 scale is
the MIC input adjustment range. The -34 to +10 scale is the
LINE input adjustment range.
7 Switch (High-Pass Filter)
This switch toggles the HPF on or off. To turn the HPF on,
press the switch in ( ). The HPF cuts frequencies below
80 Hz (the HPF does not apply to the line inputs of stereo
input channels
3, 4).
8 COMP Control
Adjusts the amount of compression applied to the channel.
As the knob is turned to the right the compression ratio
increases while the output gain is automatically adjusted
accordingly. The result is smoother, more even dynamics
because louder signals are attenuated while the overall level
is boosted.
Avoid setting the compression too high, as the higher
average output level that results may lead to feed-
back.
9 PEAK indicator
The peak level of the post-EQ signal is detected, and the
PEAK indicator lights red when the level reaches 3 dB
below clipping.
For XLR-equipped stereo input channels, both the post-EQ
and post-mic-amp peak levels are detected, and the indicator
lights red if either of these levels reaches 3 dB below clip-
ping.
0 Equalizer (HIGH, MID and LOW)
This three-band equalizer adjusts the channel’s high, mid,
and low frequency bands. Setting the knob to the “▼” posi-
tion produces a flat response in the corresponding band.
Turning the knob to the right boosts the corresponding fre-
quency band, while turning to the left attenuates the band.
The monaural channels have MID frequency controls to
adjust the midrange frequency band.
The following table shows the EQ type, frequency, and max-
imum cut/boost for each of the three bands.
* The monaural channel MID frequency can be adjusted from
250 Hz to 5 kHz. The MID frequency is 2.5 kHz when the
MID frequency control is set at the center position.

A AUX, EFFECT Control
Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the channel to the
AUX and EFFECT buses. These knobs should generally be
set close to the “▼” position. These controls send either the
signal from immediately prior to the channel fader (pre-fader
signal) or the signal after the channel fader (post-fader sig-
nal) to the corresponding buses. The types of signals sent by
the AUX and EFFECT controls on each mixer model are as
follows:
• MG206C-USB
AUX1: Pre-fader
AUX2, 3: Pre-fader/post-fader (determined by the AUX
PRE switch
B)
AUX4: Post-fader
• MG166CX-USB
AUX1: Pre-fader
AUX2: Pre-fader/post-fader (determined by the AUX
PRE switch
B)
EFFECT: Post-fader
• MG166C-USB
AUX1: Pre-fader
AUX2: Pre-fader/post-fader (determines by the AUX
PRE switch
B)
AUX3: Post-fader
•To send the signal to the STEREO bus engage the
ON switch ( ).
• On stereo channels, the L (odd) and R (even) input
signals are mixed and sent to the AUX and
EFFECT buses.
B AUX PRE Switch
Selects whether the pre-fader or the post-fader signal is fed
to the AUX buses. If the switch is on ( ), the mixer sends
the pre-fader signal to the AUX buses, so that AUX outputs
are not affected by the channel fader
I. If the switch is off
() the mixer sends the post-fader signal to the AUX
buses.
C PAN Control
PAN/BAL Control
BAL Control
The PAN control determines the stereo positioning of the
channel signal on the GROUP 1/2 and GROUP 3/4 buses or
on the STEREO L/R bus. The BAL control knob sets the
balance between left and right channels. Signals input to the
L input (odd channel) go to the GROUP 1 or 3 buses or to
the STEREO L bus; signals input to the R input (even chan-
nel) go to the GROUP 2 or 4 buses or the STEREO R bus.
On channels where this knob provides both PAN and
BAL control, the knob operates as a PAN control
when input is received via the MIC jack or L (MONO)
input only, and as a BAL control when input is
received via both L and R inputs.
D ON Switch
Turn this switch on to send the signal to the buses. The
switch lights orange when on.
E PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) Switch
This switch lets you monitor the channel’s pre-fader signal.
Press the switch in ( ) so that it lights to turn it on. When
the switch is on the channel pre-fader signal is output to the
PHONES and MONITOR OUT jacks for monitoring.
F 1-2 Switch
This switch assigns the channel’s signal to the GROUP 1/2
bus.
To send the signal to the GROUP 1/2 bus turn the
ON switch on ( ).
G 3-4 Switch
This switch assigns the channel’s signal to the GROUP 3/4
bus.
To send the signal to the GROUP 3/4 bus turn the
ON switch on ( ).
H ST Switch
This switch assigns the channel’s signal to the STEREO L/R
bus.
To send the signal to the STEREO bus turn the ON
switch on ( ).
I Channel Fader
Adjusts the level of the channel signal. Use these faders to
adjust the balance between the various channels.
Set the fader sliders for unused channels all the way
down to minimize noise.
