I have owned several other power mixers over the years that we use in our band for smaller venues. The sound quality of the Yamaha EMX212S is superior to any we have used before. The effects are spot on and the unit has just about anything you could possibly want making it an extremely versatile unit for most any arrangement or setup required. It is also ultra light weight which is always a plus.

Musical Background:

Played music profiessionlly for about 30 years now playing with a band for fun doing mostly smaller venues and benifits.

Musical Style:

Mix. Mostly country with a blend of classic rock, gospel and blues.

"EMX212S - Compact,nice-looking, but poor sounding."

Overall: 1.5 out of 5 stars

I am returning the unit. I tried many methods of beefing up the brittle sound, but none worked. A compact self-powered mixer should not have as many sound issues as this one does. Too bad -- I wanted to keep it, but far cheaper mixers have a much better sound without having to jump through hoops.
Sound
The sound of acoustic instruments -- using either transducer pickups or mic'ed -- through this mixer is brittle. Unacceptable.
Features
The mixer itself is attractive, nicely laid-out, and incredibly lightweight. The angled base allows you to easily view and manipulate the controls. The Phantom power of only 15V was (by Yamaha's admission) a cost cutting measure that diminished the usefulness of this mixer to me.
Ease of Use
It's easy to set this mixer up, but the resulting sound is unsatisfactory.
Quality
It has a classy look, all knobs and faders seem to be of good quality. Its weight, however, is SO light that this mixer seems too good to be true, as far as traditional power and amplification go.
Value
The price seems reasonable, given the appearance and features, but not with respect to the quality of the sound.
Manufacturer Support
Yamaha was very good to deal with, but unfortunately, they built a product w/ an inferior sound.
The Wow Factor
It's very appealing visually, and very easy to transport.

Musical Background:

professional jazz guitarist

Musical Style:

jazz, gypsy swing
