So funny that made this video now. I had a problem on my August 5th wedding because I must have pushed in the stereo button when putting the mixer away the night before. I was only getting sound from one side and it was creating a ground loop in the system. After swapping out every single xlr to no avail I hit the button and viola back to normal. Thanks for all you do G. Best JB!
Man, thank you so much for explaining that. I have the same exact thing happened to me last weekend at a gig, and I was so confused. I had to unplug the microphone and plug it back directly into the back of my DDJ 1000 instead of the mixer. I was still planning to figure it out when I stumbled on your video. So thank you so very much for explaining that. It means a lot, and that has helped me out a great deal.
I'm about to buy one of these mixers and I'm glad I watched this because it seems counter-intuitive. I would've assumed that pressing the "stereo" button would've meant sound would come out in stereo, which in my mind means both speakers. Thank you for clearing that up!
Thank you for a well-explained video. I understand that having a balanced connection is the best setup if possible. If I run an XLR/TRS to TRS (balanced cable) from my dj controller to channels 3/4 or 5/6 fo the MG06X that is “unbalanced”, then the connection becomes unbalanced? Are there negative effects on this?
This mixer is very basic so I was not able to cue. The head phone jack is nothing more than a monitor source. It's also good when I mixing light at night and can't use speakers so I can use headphones instead. Now when I'm live I don't use head phones unless I really need to. The larger mixers like the Yamaha MG 12 and up has the ability to pre-fader listen(PFL). On a mixer, PFL and cue are the same thing. Some desks will have it labelled as PFL, while others will label it as cue. They perform the same function on both broadcast and live mixing desks.
Dope review! I never ran a mixer with djing but plan to soon. If a videographer were wanting to plug into the mixer for sound capture, which input would they use?
This mixer is limited on outputs so here are some options: 1 - Out of the Left side 1/4 jacks of the the main output of the mixer (ensure the mixer is set to mono mode). 2 - Out of the "phones" output (this way you could at least control how much signal is going to the recorder independent of the main volume that goes to your speakers. 3 - XLR direct out of the back of you speaker is the easiest because they won't have to connect to the mixer at all. 4 - This one is weird but when the mixers in mono mode, the left and right XLRs output the exact same signal. In this case, you could use one XLR output for your speaker and the other XLR output for the videographer. If you were using 2 Speakers, just daisychain an XLR cable from one speaker to the other while also using the other XLR channel from your mixer for the videographer. Your mixer must absolutely be in mono mode.
@@amine9354 When the mono button is engaged, the outputs are mono. If set to stereo though, channel 1 will go to the left speaker only and channel 2 will go to the right speaker. Does that help?
Hi Gerald, So essentially if I had a microphone going into a seperate piece of hardware like a Boss VE500 (Vocal processor) and connected it with two XLRs to Channel 1 & Channel 2 and pressed the stereo button on the mixer, this would give me stereo?
Merci pour ces explications détaillées mais comme je ne parle pas anglais couramment, je vais essayer de comprendre d'après les images. Ce qui m'intéresse fortement c'est que je vais essayer de faire la même chose pour ma course pédestre scolaire en 2025. Apparemment cette table de mixage Yamaha mg06X est largement suffisante pour animer mon épreuve sportive. Maintenant quel est la référence de ton micro sans fil? Merci pour les réponses.👍👏👏👏
Bonjour mon ami et merci d'avoir regardé. Tout d'abord, je voudrais vous souhaiter une grande réussite pour votre événement en 2025 et vous remercier de soutenir notre chaîne. Quant au micro, j'utilise du Shure QLXD. Lorsque vous utilisez des microphones, assurez-vous que le bouton de sélection mono/stéréo est réglé sur mono (position haute). Nous avons notre mot à dire dans ma ville natale. "Laissez les bons temps rouler !"
Great video... one question what if you had 4 separate sources like instruments and or iPads etc, could you use lines 3, 4, 5, 6 ?? Say iPad mono for iPad/TV , 4 for guitar, 5 for keyboard and 6 for drum machine or another guitar?? Do you get what I’m trying to understand?? ‘OR’ is it ok to use double up adapter to have 4 separate sources 2 for 3/4 and 2 for 5/6 Stereo??
Not quite and this is why I disagree agree with how they market this mixer as 6 channel. Notice how I only had iPad audio from channel "6" in the right speaker only but the same iPad in channel 5(L/mono) was in both speakers. Certain mixers may have had the concept you thinking of with 3/4 5/6 7/8 etc.. channels but did tricky pan button stuff to expand the number of channels. You then had to adjust the pan on the channels and the volume on each mono instrument to get that perfect balance. If you need more channels, I suggest just upgrading to the Yamaha MG10XU or bigger according to you needs. In many case now days these 3/4 5/6 7/8 type inputs are designed for 1/4 stereo pair for tablets/phones/laptops, stereo keys and such. L/mono line input on the mixer is designed for mono keys(out of left channel of the keyboard), guitars or any mono instrument etc… Otherwise, you could have all the "R" channels of 3/4 5/6 heard in the right speaker only.
@@gfire_productions Thanks for the detailed response you are star. I'm only going to use it for a little home mic set up but wanted understand it's maximum potential if a situation arises. i.e jamming session.
@@TheSoldout1 connect a 1/4 inch TS cable from you keyboard mono out L to a DI Box and then an XLR cable from the DI Box to the XLR input 1 or 2 on the mixer. The other option is to he a pair of 1/4 in TS cables from the L(mono and R out of the keyboard to Chanels 3/4 or 5/6 of the mixer. Definitely set the volume on your keyboard so it is not distorting or overdriving your mixer. Let me know if this helps.
Hello Abraham and thanks for watching.. I don't have a party box, so I don't know. Check with the manual on the JBL party box for any inputs from external devices. Also, keep in mind that you may potentially need a DI box between the Yamaha mixer and yourJBL party box.Does that help?
Basically it comes down to the differences in the ins and outputs. I have the MG10XU in my video room because of conferences and vlogging but the MG06X is a basic PA system for rent or situation's were I only need a couple of mics with the ability to DJ if I want to. As for sound quality the MG06X and 10XU sounds about the same but you have three band EQ on the 10XU versus two band eq on the 06X.
@@robertisabel3668 I have a DDJ-SX2 so I connected to channel 5/6 of the MG10XU with an RCA to 1/4 inch cable. Sometimes I connect from my DDJ-SX2 to channels 3 and 4 of the MG10XU. I then I pan channel 3 to the left and channel 4 to the right on the Yamaha mixer. From the MG10XU I use the L&R XLR outs with both cables going into channels 1 and 2 of a single subwoofer. From my subwoofer channels 1 and 2 XLR output, channel 1 out goes to my left speaker and channel 2 out goes to my right speaker. I have a QSC Sub and Speakers.
Hello Superdad thanks for watching. At about two minutes and three seconds of this video, from the back of my DDJ is a power cable and RCA cable with a Velcro holding the two together. The power cable goes into the back of the mic rack with the power conditioner is and the RCA cable converts to a quarter inch it was put into channel 3/4 in the Yamaha MG06X mixer. It was a little bit far away with the camera so it's hard to see. You might have to pause that part and then blow the video up bigger.
@@superdad8274 My DDJ has both XLR(L & R) and RCA(L & R) master outputs. In the video I uses the RCA (L & R) outputs from the DDJ and then converted the other end of the RCA(L & R) to TS(L & R) to insert it in to both channels 3/4 in the Yamaha MG06X.
@amicomoviecentre6903 how are you Mr i am from Ethiopia please well you help me please please i have qsc rmx 5050 power amplifier and Yamaha MG06X STEREO MIXER SO HOW CAN I Connect from power amp to Yamaha mix please show me or send me the procedure please please
Hello my friend and thanks for watching. I would have to connect XLR out of the MG06X to XLR in channel 1 and channel 2 on RMX5050. Then Connect speaker or 1/4 TS out to the speakers accordingly. MG06X is set to mono so that both microphones 1 and 2 goes to both speakers through the amp. If the MG 06X is in stereo mode Mike one will go to the left speaker and mic tool go to the right speaker. That is the gist of my understanding for now.
