- Professional 3-Band EQ with High-Pass Filter: All mono channels are equipped with a 3-band equalizer (EQ) with sweepable mids, allowing you to precisely shape the tone of each audio source. Also features a High-Pass Filter (HPF) to effectively eliminate unwanted low-frequency noise and hum on stage.
- High-Quality MG01 Op-Amps: The internal circuitry utilizes Yamaha's custom MG01 operational amplifiers, prioritizing sound quality over electrical efficiency. This ensures overall mix transparency and sonic detail, providing faithfully reproduced sound.
