Product details
Twenty-Four Mic Inputs, Two Effects Engines, One Console
The MGP32X is the largest analog console Yamaha builds: 32 mixing channels with 24 mic inputs, six AUX sends plus two dedicated FX sends, four group buses, two matrix outputs, a mono out, channel inserts on all 24 mono channels, talkback, and two effects processors — REV-X reverb and SPX multi-effects — running simultaneously.
This is a console for large installed systems and full production work: theatres, large auditoria and worship venues, conference and banquet facilities, festival stages and rental inventory. Where an MG desk runs out of inputs, sends or routing, this one keeps going.

What You Get
- 24 mic inputs, each with +48V phantom power and its own 100 Hz high-pass filter, on discrete Class-A D-PRE preamps. 32 line inputs in total (24 mono, 4 stereo).
- Six AUX sends plus two separate FX sends. Effects run on their own path, so all six sends stay free for foldback wedges, in-ear feeds or zone outputs.
- Channel inserts on all 24 mono channels for outboard compressors, gates and channel strips.
- Two matrix outputs and a mono output — independent feeds for lobby, overflow, broadcast or a delay ring.
- Dual effects engines. FX1 is Yamaha's REV-X reverb (Hall, Room, Plate — 8 programmes); FX2 is the SPX multi-effect processor (16 programmes) with editable parameters.
- One-knob compressors with LED indicators on channels 9–24 — sixteen channels of compression you can see engaging.
- USB recording and playback to a USB storage device in WAV or MP3, from Stereo Out or Matrix Out 1/2. Internal universal power supply, 100–240V. 1,027 × 169 × 565 mm, 19 kg.
Three Things the MG Range Cannot Do
1. Priority Ducker
Nominate a microphone and it automatically pulls down the background music the moment someone speaks, then restores the level when they stop. No operator required — the reason this desk suits unmanned installs, conference rooms and hospitality venues.
2. The Stereo Hybrid Channel
A digitally controlled stereo channel sitting inside an analog console, with its own three-band mid-sweep EQ and onboard converters. It is where the ducker, the leveler and the USB playback live — analog-style knobs on the surface, DSP underneath.
3. X-pressive EQ
Yamaha's modelled vintage EQ curves — 8 kHz high shelf, sweepable 250 Hz–5 kHz mid, 125 Hz low shelf, ±15 dB — with very steep shelving derived from classic outboard modules. A different response from the standard MG EQ, not just more of it.
There is also a Leveler, an automatic gain-riding compressor for un-manned playback, and a dedicated talkback mic input for cueing the stage or the crew.
MGP32X or MGP24X?
The two consoles are the same desk in two sizes. Everything that shapes the sound is identical — choose on input count and how much space you have.
| MGP32X (this console) | MGP24X | |
|---|---|---|
| Mixing channels | 32 — 24 mono + 4 stereo | 24 — 16 mono + 4 stereo |
| Mic inputs | 24 | 16 |
| Channel inserts | 24 | 16 |
| One-knob compressors | Channels 9–24 | Channels 9–16 |
| Sends, buses, matrix | Identical — 6 AUX + 2 FX sends, 4 group buses + stereo, 2 matrix out, 1 mono out | |
| Effects | Identical — REV-X (8 programmes) and SPX (16 programmes), both running at once | |
| Preamps & EQ | Identical — discrete Class-A D-PRE, X-pressive EQ, 100 Hz HPF per mic input | |
| Width | 1,027 mm | 819 mm |
| Weight | 19 kg | 15.5 kg |
FAQ
Q. Do I actually need 24 mic inputs?
Write out your channel list before deciding. A miked drum kit, bass, two guitars, keys, four vocals and a couple of playback feeds lands around sixteen — which the MGP24X covers. Go to the 32 when you are handling a choir, a horn section, multiple bands changing over, or a permanent install where you want spare inputs patched and ready.
Q. How is this different from an MG20XU?
Substantially. The MG20XU has four AUX sends shared with its effects, no inserts, no matrix, no mono out, no talkback, one effects engine and no ducker. The MGP32X has six sends plus two separate FX sends, twenty-four inserts, two matrix outputs, a mono out, talkback and two effects engines running together.
Q. Can it record multitrack?
No. The USB port records a stereo pair to a USB storage device as WAV or MP3, from the Stereo Out or a Matrix Out — an archive of the event, not a session. Note that WAV recording has strict transfer-speed requirements: Yamaha recommends a fast USB hard disk or SSD, while MP3 works with ordinary USB sticks.
Q. How much space does it need?
1,027 mm wide and 565 mm deep, 19 kg. It is a table or flight-case console, not rack-mountable. Measure your booth before ordering.
