MW USB MIXING STUDIOS ARE SIMPLE SYSTEM SOLUTIONS
10- and 12-Input Units Include USB Connectivity and Cubase LE Bundle
ANAHEIM, Calif.—Yamaha Corporation of America, Music Production, announces the Winter NAMM 2006 release
of the MW10 and MW12 USB Mixing Studios. Targeted to the musician, AV and home studio hobbyist, as well as
educational and worship markets, these powerful, affordable and versatile music production systems are portable
solutions for recording on a computer with the convenience of USB audio and the familiar interface of an analog
mixer.
The MW10 and MW12 feature USB connectivity for direct computer audio interfacing, with plug-and-play operation under
Windows and Mac OS. A downloadable low latency Audio Stream I/O (ASIO)-compatible driver is also available.
Both units include bundled Steinberg Cubase LE, a cross-platform software that provides a complete solution for
audio/MIDI/video playback and notation applications, making the MW10 and MW12 ideal accessories for personal or remote
recording, songwriting, production, podcasting, AV applications or even live mixing. Cubase LE contains up to 48 audio
tracks, up to 64 MIDI tracks and 40 VST instruments and effects, and is also fully expandable.
Model MW10 features 10 inputs, including four ultra low noise mix preamps with Phantom power. Input channels contain
three-band EQ, pan and high pass filters. Top-mounted input connections include XLR, 1/4-in. and RCA phono jacks, with
insert I/O for connecting to external devices on Channels 1 and 2. The mix master section includes Aux Send/Stereo Aux
return, Stereo Master, Control Room and Headphone outputs.
The MW12 includes 12 inputs, with six ultra low-noise Phantom powered mic preamps. Input channels include 3-band EQ,
pan and high pass filters, while Channels 1 through 4 also contain insert I/O. Two Aux sends (one switchable pre/post fader)
provide flexible monitoring, while switchable Stereo and Groups are available for flexible channel grouping. Connections
include XLR 1/4-in. and RCA. The mix master section includes Stereo/Aux returns, plus a Stereo 2-Track/USB return with a
volume control.
“With the MW10 or MW12, you’ve got an extremely versatile interface for recording or mixing—with or without your
computer,” states Athan Billias, director, Technology Products. “With the addition of Cubase LE, that interface becomes a
powerful tool: you can easily combine all your different analog, digital, audio, video or MIDI sources; access the world of
VST virtual synths and effects; mix everything the way you want to; then record or even print out your final result. Because
they’re portable, you can take the MW10 and MW12 anywhere and you’re ready to capture that next moment of inspiration.”
The MW10 (MSRP $249) and MW12 (MSRP $379) are available in February 2006.
