Yamaha MW10C updates the popular MW10 USB Mixing Studio, offering onboard compression and now ships including Cubase AI4. Yamaha MW10C is a high-level analogue mixing desk with an integrated USB interface, which supports direct recording and playback of digital audio data to and from a Windows or Mac PC. Since Steinberg's DAW software Cubase AI4 is included in the Yamaha MW10C package you'll get the basic elements of a powerful Computer Music Production System that's easy to set up and easy to handle. Connect the Yamaha MW10C mixing desk to your computer using the included USB cable to transfer stereo audio data in both ways - from the mixing desk to the computer and vice versa - via the USB connection (16 bit with either 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz sampling frequency). You don't have to install any proprietary drivers, because the MW-System uses the standard drivers of the computers OS.
The first four channels on the Yamaha MW10C USB are equipped with XLR, phone jacks, and inserts. Right behind the gain and a switchable highpas-filter these channels feature a newly designed compressor ("1-knob analog compressor" Channels 1 & 2 only) to boost the loudness of the signal in a simple and intuitive way.
Yamaha MW10C also features 3-band EQ, two Aux sends (Aux 1 pre/post switchable), panorama, mute- and PFL-switch and the 60mm fader complete the channel strip. Using the routing switches the channels can be routed to the recording bus and/or the stereo bus; the recording bus can function as a subgroup. The next two channels can be used as mono-channels (XLR/phone jack) or as stereo- channels (phone jack) - but without the compressor. The last two channels are line- level stereo-channels featuring a 2-band-EQ (phone jack/RCA). One stereo-aux-return and the 2-track-in (RCA or via USB) make the audio-inputs complete. On the output side there are the stereo-main-out (XLR/phone jack) and a monitor-out (phone jack), rec out (phone jack/RCA), Aux send 1 and 2, and a phones jack on board.
Yamaha MW10C features the same mixing desk concept as the MW12C, although in a smaller version with 10 audio inputs (2 mono-channels XLR/phone jack including compressor, 2 mono/stereo- channels XLR/phone jack, 2 stereo-channels phone jack/RCA). One Aux send, monitor- and stereo-out (each phone jack) and the possibility to route the 2-track-in-signal (from the computer via USB or via RCA-input) either to monitor or the stereo out make recordings a cake.
