This mixer is built to last and features a rugged, impact-resistant powder-coated metal chassis that gives you an unrivalled level of durability against the rigours of everyday on-stage use. Excessive humidity, unstable power supplies, and the stresses of road travel can severely damage a mixing console and causes expensive repairs and reduces its lifespan. This mixing console has been designed with an emphasis on durability and makes use of practical features to ensure higher reliability and flexibility while also providing peak performance.

The MG12UX’s sleek design has been contoured to give you optimal convection cooling while the internal layout separates the power supply from the circuitry to provide you with superior noise reduction and further extend the lifespan of the components inside. To ensure a reliable performance, knob control placement above the surface of the chassis diverts impacts and pressure to the controls on the chassis itself and not the circuit board or the components underneath.

The mixer features versatile digital connectivity for quick and easy high-resolution playback of digital content, simply connect to your computer via a USB connection or to your iPad/iPhone via the Apple Camera Connection Kit/Lightning to USB Camera Adapter. The USB protocol makes use of asynchronous data transfer while audio data is transferred based on a highly-accurate audio clock signal from the mixer; this gives you high-quality recording and audio playback at all times. Supplied with the mixer is a downloadable copy of Steinberg Cubase AI software, one of the most comprehensive DAW available providing you with a powerful and versatile platform for music production.
