Yamaha Pro Yamaha MG06 Owner's Manual

•  Do not place the power cord near heat sources such 

as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or 
otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, 
or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip 
over, or roll anything over it.

•  Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device. 

The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the 
device.

•  Use the specified adaptor (MU18 or PA-130, or an 

equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the 
wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or 
overheating.

•  If you intend to use the device in an area other than in the 

one you purchased, the included power adaptor may not 
be compatible. Please check with your Yamaha dealer.

•  Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt 

or dust which may have accumulated on it.

•  This device contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not 

open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal 
parts or modify them in any way. If it should appear to be 
malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it 
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

•  Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in 

damp or wet conditions, or place on it any containers (such 
as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids which 
might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water 
seeps into the device, turn off the power immediately and 
unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the 
device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

•  Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

•  Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A 

burning item may fall over and cause a fire.

•  When one of the following problems occur, immediately 

turn the power off and disconnect the electric plug from 
the outlet. Then have the device inspected by Yamaha 
service personnel.

- The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.

- It emits unusual smells or smoke.

- Some object has been dropped into the instrument.

- There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the device.

•  If this device or the AC power adaptor should be dropped 

or damaged, immediately turn the power off, disconnect 
the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device 
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

•  Do not cover or wrap the AC power adaptor with a cloth or 

blanket.

•  When removing the electric plug from the device or an 

outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling 
by the cord can damage it.

•  Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device 

is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during 
electrical storms.

•  Do not place the device in an unstable position where it 

might accidentally fall over.

•  Do not place the device in a location where it may come 

into contact with corrosive gases or salt air. Doing so may 
result in malfunction.

•  Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.

•  When setting up the device, make sure that the AC outlet 

you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or 
malfunction occurs, immediately turn the power off and 
disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power 
is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the 
minimum level. When you are not using the product for a 
long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the 
wall AC outlet.

•  Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the 

power for all devices. Before turning the power on or off 
for all devices, set all volume levels to minimum.

•  Remove the power plug from the AC outlet when cleaning 

the device.

•  Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, 

metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the device. If 
this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug 
the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device 
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

•  Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy ob-

jects on it, and avoid use excessive force on the buttons, 
switches or connectors.

•  Do not use speakers or headphones for a long period of 

time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this 
can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any 
hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused 
by improper use or modifications to the device, or data 
that is lost or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the device is not in use. 

Even when the [

](Standby/On) switch is in standby status, 

electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum 
level. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, 
make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC 
outlet.

To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the product, damage to data, or damage to other property, follow the 
notices below.

■Handling and Maintenance

y  Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, 

the device, TV, or radio may generate noise.

y Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibration, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, 

or in a car during the day), in order to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration, unstable operation, or damage to the 
internal components.

y Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the device, since this might discolor the panel.

y When cleaning the device, use a dry and soft cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-

impregnated wiping cloths.

y Condensation can occur in the device due to rapid, drastic changes in ambient temperature—when the device is moved 

from one location to another, or air conditioning is turned on or off, for example. Using the device while condensation is 
present can cause damage. If there is reason to believe that condensation might have occurred, leave the device for sev-
eral hours without turning on the power until the condensation has completely dried out.

y To avoid generating unwanted noise, make sure there is adequate distance between the AC power adaptor and the de-

vice.

y Avoid setting all equalizer and level knobs to their maximum. Depending on the condition of the connected devices, doing 

so may cause feedback and may damage the speakers.

y When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the power amplifier LAST, to avoid speaker damage. 

When turning the power off, the power amplifier should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.

y Always turn the power off when the device is not in use.

■Connectors

XLR-type connectors are wired as follows (IEC60268 standard): pin 1: ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold (-).

□ Did you properly plug the power adaptor into an appropriate AC outlet?

□ Did you firmly and securely connect the power plug?

□ Did you turn on the powered speaker or the power amp?

□ Did you properly connect the microphones, external devices, and speakers?

□ Are any connecting cables shorted or damaged?

□ Did you properly set the [LEVEL] knobs of all relevant channels and the [STEREO LEVEL] 

knob to appropriate levels?

□ Are the [PAD] switches turned on (O)? 

Turn the switch off (

N). If the volume of sound source is too soft, turning on the switch may 

result in no audible sound.

□ Are the [GAIN] knobs and [LEVEL] knobs of all relevant channels, and the [STEREO LEVEL] 

knob set too high?

□ Are the [PEAK] LEDs lit?

Lower the [GAIN] knobs of channels 1/L and 2/R, or turn on (

O) the [PAD] switches.

□ Are the “PEAK” (red) lamps of the level meter lit? 

Set the [LEVEL] knobs of all relevant channels and the [STEREO LEVEL] knob to appropriate 

levels.

□ Are the [PAD] switches turned off (N)?

Turn the switches on (

O). If the volume of sound source is too loud, turning off the switches 

may result in distorted sound.

□ Is the volume from the connected device too loud? 

Lower the volume of the connected device.

□ Turn on (O) the [HPF] switches.

The sound becomes clearer. 

□ Adjust the equalizer knobs (example: lower the [LOW] knobs, raise the [HIGH] knobs).

□ Did you turn on (O) the [FX] switches? 

□ Are the [LEVEL] knobs of all relevant channels raised enough? 

□ Did you set the [FX RTN LEVEL] knob to an appropriate level? 

•  If the stand should fall over, the mixer may be damaged. Attach the connection cables carefully so that the cables 

will not catch on the equipment and cause it to fall. For example: arrange the cables so that they run parallel with the 
microphone pole down to the base of the stand.

•  When using the mixer on a microphone stand, be sure to set the stand on a level and stable surface. Do not set up 

the stand in locations subject to vibrations or wind.

•  Leave ample free space around the stand.
