Yamaha mixing console model MG102c

Unread post by MTMMusicExpress »

Hello, I am having an issue with this mixer. Any speaker plugged into the right monitor or right stereo out port sounds extremely muffled. I did some troubleshooting & ruled out the speakers & cables as the root of the problem. I am using powered speakers, so no amp. That only leaves the mixer as the root cause. The left ports are fine & the phono port is fine...issue is only with the right ports. There is no distortion, the music is just extremely low. Any ideas what the problem is or how to fix this issue?
Thanks,
Mike

I'm trying to assist some grandkids with this same mixer board and trying to identify if it's possible to get a line out from this device. It's being used as a replacement board unit for a portable PA which has two small mains and then a subwoofer. I'd like to figure out if there's a way to get a line out quality signal from this device to take to the subwoofer which has its own volume control and amplifier. I really appreciate being able to explore this I realize it's an old post but maybe someone will pick it up clearly there's a vast amount of knowledge on this forum. Thanks in advance for any suggestions this is my first post to help I'm not mucking it up too bad

Hi and welcome!
Is there a specific problem or reason you can't use the stereo output of this mixer to drive the subwoofer?

As in understand it, those channels are going to the other small speakers. Thanks for asking

There would probably be no problem splitting the output signal to send both to the main speakers and the subwoofer. But you could also use the monitor output.

My son-in-law tried the monitor output which I thought would be a great answer because you could actually control the volume of the monitor Channel Through the board but he stated that it did not work. I would prefer to make sure the signal I'm sending to the subwoofer unit was a line level signal. As that's what it's intended to receive. So ideally that was the basis for my question. That said if no line level output is available my thought was much like yours to use the monitor output and then just start any signals sent to the subwoofer at the lowest possible volume to ensure it wasn't being over powered so to speak. I really appreciate your thoughts and anybody else you might want to involve is welcome.

It should be fairly easy to adjust the monitor volume so the sub is not overloaded. It's not an exact science of course. 'Line level' output differs on professional vs consumer audio but this is still adjustable.
Not having output in the monitor section could be either due to some fault in the mixer or some incorrect settings. Maybe a look at the manual would be helpful.
I don't have an MG mixer unfortunately. Hopefully someone else will also chime in.
