We recommend this product instead:

Whether you're only mixing one microphone with a stereo source for the web, or multiple microphones and line sources for a live show, you want the highest performance, flexibility, and reliability available. Yamaha's MG-series mixers cover a wide range of applications from solo home recording to complex live sound with no compromises in sonic quality, processing versatility, or dependability. These new additions to the MG line-up feature the same compact, lightweight design as the preceding models, and incorporate the latest generation of specially selected components for further refined performance and audio precision. They also now feature Yamaha's innovative 1-knob compressor for built-in dynamics control that further eliminates the need for external equipment and potentially troublesome connections. If you need a convenient analog mixer that can handle from 8 and 12 input sources and deliver pro-level sound, plus top-quality SPX effects in the "CX" models, you're looking in the right place.

Feature:
I need extra hooks ups probably a patch board would be helpful. The mixer compnents are nice and there is nothing else extra that was not intended to use.
Quality:
The shipment arrived on time with everything in tact. It is easy to use and user friendly for somewho show a lack in technology. I would use it for the road, but it is best suited to be placed secure and not to be mobil. If you use it mobil, I would have a permenent rack built to keep it in place and prevent damage. Its' priomamry goal I use it for is recording and that will not be mobil as far I am concerned. The less I pack on the road the beter it is for me.
Value:
The price is great for a musician starting out small before going into heavy doillars. In any event, you may not want anything else unless you plan on spending thousands of dollars for equipment you already have. This mixer should meet all demands as long as you choose your tracks corectly for mix down. The mixer is wonderful and it adds a real bright feature in my studio. The appearance gives a money value that catches the eye. It is all worth every penny of it. No body should be dissatisfied about this product. You are getting your money worth and the price should meet every musicians pocket book wioth no problems and that is what sells quicker and faster, besdies your getting number one prime stuff. I would buy it again if I need too.
Desirability:
Already mentioned
Sound:
I have no toher suggestions at this time. The mixer is just what I needed and I quickly hooked it up and it is very impressive.
Support:
No problems thus far. It runs great and as I said earlier it is exactly what I needed.
Overall:
This mixer will do everything I am looking for. It is difficult to put a value on mixers when everyones taste is different when it comes to recording. I would say for the average guy that wnats to make a decent demo without going deep into your pocket, just buy reasonable products such as this mixer and you can't go wrong.

Feature:
Has all the right features and can handle all general purpose mixing situations. The connections it offers also make this mixer very universal as it employs balanced AND unbalanced input/output jacks.
Quality:
This mixer is built like a tank and about as heavy. The faders are fairly smooth feeling and 100mm in size - a nice professional touch. The knobs are not wobbly and have nice center detents, all the buttons are secure feeling and not loose. The blue finish is pretty nice as well.
Value:
Those of you considering ANY other brand of compact mixer of equal or lesser price - don't bother. Yamaha has always made excellent audio equipment and this compact mixer is no exception. Unlike some of the other brands with that silly "ALT 3-4" feature to let them masquerade as such - the MG 12/4 is a genuine 4-buss mixer. Worth the price, and then some.
Desirability:
If the term "useful" can be substituted for the term "sexy", then on a scale of 1 to 10 - this mixer ranks a 12.
Sound:
The MG 12/4 has a super quiet noisefloor and a lot of useable headroom. EQ is useful and musical. The mic pre's are absolutely the best I have heard in any mixer in the $200 or less range. I use it for broadcast on internet radio, but this mixer would also be very useful for a small home studio for the purpose of producing clean sounding demos.
Overall:
The Yamaha MG12/4 will be useful to anyone that needs a quiet and respectable sounding 12x4 mixer. I would definitely buy it again.
