Omg, I'm SOOO thankful I've found your channel before buying a mixer for my DJ setup!! I noticed the mic input of my Numark Mixstream Pro was pretty weak, also I needed 2 mics for an upcoming gig. So, I was looking for a no-frills, easy solution to output 2 mics and my controller to my PA speakers. My only requirements: the mixer should have at least two XLR inputs, one or two 1/4'' TS stereo inputs and XLR out. Behringer offers some great mixers for very little money, but they all lack XLR out. Just as I was about to buy a pair of XLR to TS cables, I discovered this video. Needless to say, I immediately ordered the Yamaha!
I’m a DJ and allow me to say that I absolutely loooooove my Yamaha MG06x! She comes with me literally to EVERY GIG since I bought it last year in April 2023. My main mixer I run is the Mackie ProFX6v3, I bought THIS MG06X initially to have as a secondary unit for Ceremonies with the Mackie doing Reception/Ballroom duties. But it’s so compact, D-Pre’s are so clean 🤷🏽♂️ I just keep it in my backpack 🎒 with my mics etc and use the Yamaha instead of the Mackie…which stays in my duffle for whenever I want/need it. Incredible review as always Mr. Kettner! MG06X is popular for so many reasons. There’s NO USB like it’s bigger brothers in the MG lineup or like my ProFX6v3. However, whenever I’m recording I always use my Scarlett 2i2 which sounds better than my ProFX6v3 and ProFX10v3 internal USB interfaces Thanks again for all the incredible tips, tricks and techniques!
@bellabui8417 Hi, "bellabui8417". Is it to connect a microphone to the mixer? Or, to connect a music instrument to the mixer? Or, is it to connect the mixer to another mixer? Etc..
@bellabui8417 A couple of examples: For a microphone, you'll need a Male to Female microphone balanced XLR cable. (Don't know if you already know that.) For a powered speaker[depending on the speaker's inputs] you can also use Male to Female balanced XLR cables or Male to Male balanced TRS cables.
You are one of the the Gems on this channel 👍👍👍👍👍 Your Videos provide To-The-Point info (especially with easy to understand technical language) which really helps. 👌👌👌👌👌
From the time I had Subscribed your channel, I am using Yamaha MG 10X U to the extent I can with High Fidelity output using all the knobs n buttons (Thanks again for the Exceptional Videos) 👍👍👍👍👍
Always informative, Jordan. Thanks for the content. Would you be able to make a video with yamaha mg12xu or mg10xu with a subwoofer using the auxiliary channels?
Do you already have the MG12XU? I have been looking at that mixer for quite sometime now especially after I got my MG06X to ultimately replace my Mackie ProFX10v3 for my DJ gigs which require (4) or more Mic inputs OR whenever I’m doing podcast production.
Yup, I really hope they make an updated version of this guy with USB and maybe mute buttons too. Love this mixer otherwise. Quick question, do you have any idea if an electric guitar or bass can be connected to the XLR combo jack?
Great review. I just have a question. I only got a microphone cable with 1/4 inch connector as oppose to the xlr. Can I connect this cable to the MG06X?
Playing backing tracks from phone on 5/6. You said master volume at 3:00 unity. What volume should phone be at? 100%? How about gain knob on channel 5/6?
I have this one, but i was looking for something I can connect to my ipad or Mac, looks like is really good so maybe is better to use an interface instead of changing the mixer.
Agreed. I have a few mixers (2) Mackie ProFXv3 models with USB and this MG06X which doesn’t have it. The models above it MG10, MG12 have USB but you might not need all those extra inputs?! 🤷🏽♂️ Whenever I record my DJ mixes I run everything through my Scarlett 2i2 into my iPad.
So great your tutorial videos. Benefited a lot from them. Thank you so much for your hard effort. I have one question since I am quite new to this thing. Do we need to use a power stabilizer for the mixer? I am afraid that the mixer gets damaged due to direct power supply. Thankyou. Much appreciated
Hello! I'm trying to set this up for my 93 year old dad who is a streamer that sings and plays his trumpet on his live or he jumps in other musicians streams and performs. My questions is I see how to connect his iphone 5/6 Line but where does he connect his tv where he gets his music on RUclips? He uses his phone for only streaming and he gets his background music from RUclips..Please help
If you aren’t using headphones and only need the music from your phone to sound out through your speakers can you use a single audio (1/4”) jack (from phone) to 1/2” stereo jack into the mixer?
Depending on the room, I usually start by trying to remove 400hZ. Those are typically the worst frequencies. That being said, there is often another layer around 8-10k that is problematic. Turning down the highs a little will often help.
Live applications dynamic mic are generally used...what is the application of condenser mic?? For a conference room if I am planning boundary mic which one is best condenser or dynamic??
In a live application, condenser mics are commonly used on the podium, drum overheads, or boundary mics. But most often, you find condenser mics in the studio. Condenser mics are often used for boundary mics.
Hello Jordan. I connected my headphones to the phones output and only one side played. I the plugged in my small monitors and the same issue. channel 1 &2 is set to mono and music source in 5&6 Please help
Hey does anyone know how to connect an iPhone to record straight into it. I have a 10xu which is as simple as a usb cable. This 06x doesn't have the same port.
No, that’s largely a myth. Any modern (balanced) dynamic mic can handle phantom power without hurting it. It’s a phantom. There’s a reason 99% of 6-20 channel analog audio mixes don’t bother with individual phantom power on each channel.

Can't commend you enough my man. You've helped me learn so much as a one man band doing live stream productions using this exact mixer. You rock!
I purchased this mixer model a week ago [I also own an MG10XU] and I'm loving it. It is an incredibly compact mixer!
(Dec. 22, 2024)
Hi. I just bought MG06X and I dont know which cables should I buy. Please help.

I Love this Channel, very informative! Educational!
Great demo. I own one and this is the best info I’ve found, by far.
Thank you for all the help with this video and the other video to connecting to a pc. Youre awesome!
This is some really quality video. Great content great explains!!
Good Video for sure. I really like the way you stay on point. Thank you much.
Thanks Jordan very useful

@@Rugerman205I have one, yeah.
Love this mixer , great video
Love your vids my guy!
Thank you !
Yup, I really hope they make an updated version of this guy with USB and maybe mute buttons too. Love this mixer otherwise.
Quick question, do you have any idea if an electric guitar or bass can be connected to the XLR combo jack?
It can, but the impedance mismatch might be a bit off. Try it, but if it doesn’t sound good, you’ll need a DI
Great review. I just have a question. I only got a microphone cable with 1/4 inch connector as oppose to the xlr. Can I connect this cable to the MG06X?
Very nice 👍🏻 I have this mixer .it's super ,you can do live or record audio from the stereo out section,as no usb out here .
Playing backing tracks from phone on 5/6. You said master volume at 3:00 unity. What volume should phone be at? 100%? How about gain knob on channel 5/6?
Awesome video! Do you have any recommendations for an audio recorder to record the output of a dj controller connected to this?

I have one question since I am quite new to this thing. Do we need to use a power stabilizer for the mixer? I am afraid that the mixer gets damaged due to direct power supply.

Much appreciated
A power stabilizer or power conditioner is always recommended, but no manufacturer says it's required. It's been almost a decade since I've used one.
How to connect for zoom ??

I have a JBL party box with Aux. where do I plug it from the mixer
If you aren’t using headphones and only need the music from your phone to sound out through your speakers can you use a single audio (1/4”) jack (from phone) to 1/2” stereo jack into the mixer?
thought you would come up with a review of ag06 mk2!
It's on the list. I have so much stuff to get through. I want to use the MK2 a bit more first. Lots of little things that I'm finding.
@@kettnercreative thank you Jordan!
What type recorder is good to use with that for Audio Podcasts. I have the mixer. I use kt for Djing though.
Which frequency range is usually causing feedback?? Attenuating the high frequency will reduce chances of feedback??
Depending on the room, I usually start by trying to remove 400hZ. Those are typically the worst frequencies. That being said, there is often another layer around 8-10k that is problematic. Turning down the highs a little will often help.
@@kettnercreative which filter can I use in 8 to 10k range? Shelf or notch??
Is this real audio through this mixer ??
Live applications dynamic mic are generally used...what is the application of condenser mic?? For a conference room if I am planning boundary mic which one is best condenser or dynamic??
In a live application, condenser mics are commonly used on the podium, drum overheads, or boundary mics. But most often, you find condenser mics in the studio.
Condenser mics are often used for boundary mics.
Hello Jordan. I connected my headphones to the phones output and only one side played. I the plugged in my small monitors and the same issue. channel 1 &2 is set to mono and music source in 5&6
Please help
Thank you, all been long that my father dont know how to used his mixer. 😂😂😂
Hey does anyone know how to connect an iPhone to record straight into it. I have a 10xu which is as simple as a usb cable. This 06x doesn't have the same port.
when you're using dynamic mic, don't you need to turn off the phantom power or it will fry the mic, just saying, I might be wrong
No, that’s largely a myth. Any modern (balanced) dynamic mic can handle phantom power without hurting it. It’s a phantom.
There’s a reason 99% of 6-20 channel analog audio mixes don’t bother with individual phantom power on each channel.
