Great vid. Both are good little mixers and each have good features that work for almost all applications (live, recording, streaming). IMHO, the Yamaha is a bit simpler to use for novices who just want to "plug and play" for streaming or quick karaoke session. But the Mackie just barely beats it out because it has a few little extra features, that give the user some extra flexibility if they need it. Both also have great quality sound and noise floor (good circuits and pre-amps). If FX are really important for you, then the Yamaha is for you (slightly better FX and you can tweak each FX preset to your liking). If EQ is important for you, then the Mackie is for you (each channel has 3 band EQ - and MUTE buttons). The Mackie acts as a slightly better USB audio interface for you DAW too. But you can't go wrong with either. Usually the Mackie is about $10 thru $20 more than the Yamaha (just because of the few little extra features). The value for both of these, at this price point, is a no brainer. Both have very good build quality. I say shell out the extra $10-20 for the Mackie, and read or watch a few of the vids here - to learn the little extra features that might come in handy for your application and use-case. BTW - I own both (and also the 12 channel MG12XU version). Also, the reason why the Mackie has a little extra features is because their models came out a few years after Yamaha's models. So Mackie had the benefit of seeing the feedback, and threw in the little extras. Nice video.

Really have to give you guys a shout out for these real thorough vids. You break dowm a looooot of info and you guys also actually reply to out additional questions in the comments with as much detail as possible. WOW. Thank you guys seriously. I know that I appreciate your time and efforts.

[@KipCount]

Thanks for this video. I went back and forth on these so much I ended up ordering the Mackie online and bought the Yamaha from a local store. After getting a taste for the Parameter knob on the Yamaha's FX section, that's the key winner for me. Without delay time control, every delay on the Mackie is pretty unusable to me. I'm never going to want long delay times unless it's sync'd roughly to the song tempo. And I'm just can't get short enough slap echo with the Mackie. The Mackie is going back. More robust power cable on the Yamaha as well, RCA inputs, mic stand mountable. Also not sure if the Mackie does this, but plugging in your phone or iPad with the Lightning to USB Cam Connection adapter feeds your iPhone audio right to channel 9/10. Super convenient.

[@stevenmcnair1897]

One point- The yamaha One-knob compressor does add gain, but because of its variable ratio, you get more flexibility. Just ride the gain knob, and comp knob together and you can get softer compression or harder compression, I still have my old MG16cfx, that thing is so cool

[@kettnercreative]

Thanks for sharing!

[@thetkofficialshowfeaturing445]

Great review on both mixers! Now I will check out both mixers for in-depth reviews and setup. Thanks 👍🏾

[@MackieTVdeutsch]

Hi there. Basically the Hi-Z switch changes the impedance of the input in order to support passive instruments like guitars and bass guitars. Mackie offers 2 of these, so 2 musicians can plugin their instruments directly to the console at the same time and record using for example the guitar FX included in the software bundle.

[@roggo_x]

Hi, so you say the HI-Z switch is not a 20 db pad?

[@MackieTVdeutsch]

@@roggo_x Hi, no, it's more the contrary. The Hi-Z switch raises the input impedance significantly so that a high impedance output from an instrument like an electric guitar is raised to a better level.

[@roggo_x]

@@MackieTVdeutsch Hi, thanks for the reply, but here in this video (min. 5:37) Kettner says that the 20 dB pad works like the HI-Z button, is that possible?

[@MackieTVdeutsch]

@@roggo_x Hi Roggo! I love Kettner's videos very much, but I commented this video because a pad and a Hi-Z switch are not the same thing.

[@SonidoPrimordialStudio]

@@MackieTVdeutschThanks !!!! Truly !! I have spent a lot of time searching on this matter. I almost bought the Yamaha until I read this comment. Indeed, the one who seeks finds. Now I wonder, what will the internal components look like in each mixer? Is it worth buying direct boxes to have a Yamaha mixer, or is Mackie's Hi-Z enough?

[@Beethovan]

Nice comparison video. Yamaha MG10XUF seem to have fixed some of issues with MG10XU like adding Mute button.

[@lavendertuesday]

Hey, thanks for this video! I just picked up a Mackie for a livestream, and it was great! I hadn't had a chance to do a whole lot of review prior to buying because of limited time and limited supply, but this video helps a great deal and I feel good about the purchase (and relieved to know that, really, either choice would have been great).

[@MrStevem121]

Hi Jordan I notice that there is a version of the Yamaha by the name of Yamaha MG10XUF. While it is more expensive than the MG10XU (by £15 in the UK), it has sliders and has mutes for each channel. I would be interested to know your opinion. I remember you saying that you'd go for the Mackie because it has the blend knob and mute buttons. Some people may be put off the Yamaha because of no mute switches for each input but the Yamaha MG10XUF has it so i wanted to mention it. I realise that it is bigger but i don’t think drastically. Shame that it also didn’t come with the blend knob from the Mackie too :p Thanks for your videos anyway. They are very helpful

Nice video (however late I am)! The Mackie as of the time I'm writing is about $2 more expensive than the Yamaha. I'll admit it's not *quite* as solid as my old VLZ 1202, but it looks great and it's super light. Time to take it out of the package, lol

[@rogeriosugui5791]

Great and very informative video! Many thanks for that! Just one honest and constructive tip: it would be much better if you'd put your own image at one of the corners.. because putting at the center, you just hid important part of the yamaha (mainly, because for the Mackie, we can infere the hidden part knobs are just like the other ones).

Owned 2 Mackie boards both died within 2 years of use, go Yamaha great product

[@Shaker4x4]

You guys might want to read this... I'm only setting up to an iPad Air 4 with A/V dongle, powered USB hub and the single USB on the Yamaha better suits my simple needs. The missing mids on the EQ are of no consequence to me as one stereo channel comes from keyboard and the other would likely be a second keyboard later, then far to the right is the USB input anyway. Those are all EQ controlled at the source. The only reason you would need the upper and lower bands without mids would be to 'balance' the PA horns and woofers a little further when needed. Ie: I've seen professional audio engineers burn out woofer voice coils by mismanagement of not allowing bass to move the woofer cones to pump the vents adequately around the coils to cool them, because they had too far too much bass in 18" woofer cabinets and treated the 15" PA woofers like mid-highs with electric guitars! The result can be a complete wipe-out of lost revenue when having to replace all the burnt voice coils! Tweeters can be burnt out too (or blown... how many DJs have their finger ready on the mic mute button when a patron walks toward a PA tweeter!) So to have those on-the-fly high/low adjustments other than what the source already EQs would be sensible. I believe that's why they don't need mids on those channels. I can see where a video source containing screaming mid frequencies one might want to tone down yes as most happy snap videos come from awful smartphone microphones. Could move to another channel with mid EQ for that then switch back. I like the Mackie asthetics better, we're not in it for the prettiness though. For me, Yamaha for simplicity and reliability.

[@kettnercreative]

I don't think I've heard of anyone trying to balance/tune a PA with a 10 channel mixer before. Those stories of guys burning their coils was most likely from mismatched power amps and poorly set crossovers rather than anything that was coming from their console. Most likely, there was bad wiring, or they were just over powered. Either way, the majority of these issues have been resolved with built in limiters and almost everything now being self powered and paired with a power amp from the factory. I've never heard of anyone needing to air cool their speakers by driving the low end harder before. Mid/high cabinets are sealed and there is no way that the small movement from a woofer could adequately cool a voice coil that is being over driven/over powered in a sealed cabinet. There's always more to the story with these things.

[@Shaker4x4]

@@kettnercreative They were older Peavy QW 2F speakers they drove them really hard in a rock concert. No they wouldn't have used a 10 channel Yamaha mixer lol, but the concept I mention is there. Granted modern speakers have crossover limiters etc. These were old school big speakers, not arrays or anything... But yep, all the voice coils were brown, particularly were the heat was most concentrated of half of the coil. They must have pushed mid-highs so hard, that without air movement they fried. I was amazed. They were using big Peavy AB amps. I doubt they would have noticed the damage occurring. Likely yes they were over-powering them in the higher frequencies (electric guitars). The old QW 2F had side vents as well as a center magnet vent. Not sure if they had changed since. You're right though, I don't think anyone here would run into these issues, but it's something to think about...

[@vallabhgodbole1408]

This video really cool showing the differences. I got the Yamaha but returned back because I found USB output was very low especially for streaming thru zoom. Can you please share how is USB output from Mackie as compared to Yamaha? If both are same then how do I increase the output if I want to for zoom? Please keep in mind I did tried zoom and computer sound levels at Max and also tried all different zoom microphone settings. Still Yamaha USB was very very low.

[@djernestorodriguez-neto2799]

Yamaha All the way, best sound and more durability

[@smashtime1904]

So I'm looking at one of these plus the Mackie profx6v3, the yamaha 3 & 6 channel ag series, and finally the Allen & Heath ZEDi-8 and not having an easy time picking between the 4. I'm leaning towards the profx6v3 and the ZEDi-8 and if I went off bit rates itd be the Mackie as the Allen and Heath is 24bit/96khz, but was told if I really wanted to step up my game with quality or professional sound the Allen & Heath is the way to go. Plz help me with some insight. Thanks.

[@Godzillah]

Nice features on both but for recording Mackie act as an interface it has mute button monitor knobs newer box I see the yahama is a open box so I pickup the Mackie.

[@crm4742]

Great video! I primarily want to use this for streaming to Zoom for church purposes. We have three microphones(pastor, solo singer, piano pickup). Can these boxes via wire (approximately 75’) send an output to an old powered analog mixer for simple purpose of providing sound to our passive speakers? Thanks.

[@arjenharsta1165]

Dear @kettnercreative, many thanks for your reviews! This is very helpful in finding the right equipment. Both mixers would be suitable for mixing 2x vocals and 2x guitar, with the guitars straight to the board if I understand correctly. The Mackie would have the downside that the vocals could not be compressed, is that right? The guitars would need to be on channel 1 and 2 where the compressors are, because of the Hi-Z pad. On the Yamaha, that pad is also available on Ch. 3 and 4. Now I am wondering if I will really need compression on live vocals. My thinking was that it could be helpful in case I am not always at the microphone the same way, or when I am clumsy with my dynamics.

[@vinodbnambiar]

very good comparison. One question - for using guitar input thru TRS in Mackie channel 3 or 4 is a DI box required, since there is no Hi-Z button available other than for channels 1 and 2?

[@AT-wl9yq]

If the input on the mixer is balanced, then yes, you need a DI box.

[@otissito5047]

So with these smaller mixers having only the one aux control, if I were to use the fx send for a monitor mix... would it bypass the onboard fx? Or would it then control both fx send and internal fx simultaneously for each channel used? Also, do you know if this parameter is pre or post fader? Thanks!

[@kettnercreative]

It doesn't bypass the FX, but it will be the same mix. The FX send will always be "pre-fx" but you can still use the FX return for your stereo mix if you want as well.

[@ericzohar1345]

Hi Jordan! thanks for the review! After checking several mixers I also ended up not knowing which of these two to pick and finally found your review. I have the Scarlet 2i2 already but needed a mixer for some streaming, adding at least 2 vocals and an instrument so... After your review, I'm leaning to the Mackie as well, but the only difference I see as the plus on the Yamaha are the RCA outputs. Can you tell if there is any quality difference? What about the FXs? which one has better effects?

[@kettnercreative]

The Yamaha has a parameter knob on the FX which is helpful - but otherwise the FX are pretty subjective. Really depends on your taste. I don't see RCA outputs as a huge benefit but my background is in live sound and live sound people generally loathe working with RCA, so take my opinion with a grain of salt on this one. The mute buttons and the blend knob are the big winners for the Mackie.

[@Nantuboy3]

@@kettnercreative awesome! Thanks for your insights! It helps a lot. I was thinking I can still use adaptors for the RCA if needed, but that was one of my doubts. The mute buttons takes the extra points for sure. I'm expecting both to do very good on sound and performance so I'll go for the extra buttons 💪

Great comparison, thanks for this vid. I have the Mackie ProFX10 and I'm having a noise issue when I plug an acoustic guitar into the channel 1 XLR socket. My acoustic guitar has both an XLR and a 1/4" outputs. So I thought cool, I'll plug my guitar directly into the Mackie and play thru the Control Rm output which go to my KRK5 speakers; no computer or DAW. But with either guitar output going thru the Mackie XLR, I get periodic electric popping sounds while playing. I tried the hitting the 48V phantom power button, got worse! Any advice is really appreciated. I'm a novice to music recording equipment, but learning. Thanks!

The signal coming out of the guitar is probably not balanced, and the mic input on the mixer is. Because of the 3rd conductor required for balanced operation, its not electrically compatible with single ended equipment. You should try a direct box because it will convert the signal from the guitar to balanced and eliminate the short circuit. You can also try going single ended out of the guitar and plug it into a single ended input on your mixer.

@@AT-wl9yq isn't this supposed to be able to take guitar directly into mixer using the Hi-Z pad?

Hi there, great video very in depth. The most I’ve seen and I have searched. Because I own the Yamaha mg10xu and I’m looking for help determining if I can use it to send some of my inputs to my sampler that is connected to it via fxsend. Is there anyway to set that up? The mackie looks like it may be better suited perhaps even using the inserts too. Basically I have a machine called the octatrack. It has. Some inputs and outputs. And I have other synths and gear. I want everything connected to my mixer but I want the ability to route any audio going through the mixer to the inputs in my sampler for sampling.

[@Litcentral09]

I’m a DJ. Is it any difference in sound between the 2 when I’m at a gig? Or does both make my system sound the same ?

[@mr.engizmemo9997]

Which sound is better 💪🚩 Allen & Heath ZED 10FX vs Mackie ProFX10v3 Vs Allen & Heath ZED 10FX

[@matoflynn]

This was so great, thank you

[@kettnercreative]

You're so welcome!

[@DanielMorales-qp8rf]

Awesome comparison

[@emilloffler1216]

I like both, but am waiting to buy a mixer model that has bluetooth too.

[@junkokinoko7277]

Hi! still not clear to me using USB out to my laptop for Zoom whether to push down the small red button on channel 9/10 to ST. & to what volume level should it be set ? Thank you

[@mladenmt]

Hi, what is your opinion on RCF F 10XR? It looks similar to this two models. One question: Can the signal from Control room out/Monitor out go to the AMP for subs? (Amp has DSP).

[@DanielMorales-qp8rf]

I have a question. I just bought the yamaha mg xu. Can I use the monitor to connect two extra powered speakers?

[@fatih9135]

I would like to hear some sound recording or monitoring, for fx part especially. I think at some point hearing is matters too:=)

[@SonidoPrimordialStudio]

Thanks Kettner !! Lovely videos !!! But... Do you really think that the DB button is the same as the Hi-Z? Are you sure? Do they have the same function and the same type of preamp? I really doubt it ... have you tried it? ... In truth, it is important to me, because it depends on whether I buy the Mackie or the Yamaha. My doubt is: "Yamaha + Direct Boxes ($$$$) vs Mackie with Hi-z ($$) Thanks !! a Lot !!

[@AT-wl9yq]

Its not the same. A high z option raises the resistance on the input to make it easier for the guitar to drive it. The db button is something else.

[@Bertanerny]

Really good video, I'm a bit of a novice with mixers and am looking for a smaller unit to do some home recording, this has been really informative and well explained to help me greatly. Big thumbs up.

[@luisportacio935]

Great video 🔥

[@VoyAnuszkiewicz]

Great review!

[@Drum4Chops88]

I plugged the XLR coming out my xdj-rx3 to channels 3/4 on my yamaha mg10xu mixer and it was peaking and distorting so what is the best way to connect or is there a correct way to unbalanced or should I press the HPF button on the 3/4 don't know can someone help please ? Thanks .

[@serviciolospresidentes4478]

Which one would you go with and why? thanks for your kind reply...

[@kettnercreative]

I think the video summed up our opinion.

[@MaiaDreams]

What about the Allen & Heath ZEDi-10FX..?

[@johnrupert8314]

you can't go wrong with Allen & Heath! But the same number of inputs you'll paid the double.

[@Istoryahetvvlogs]

Thanks... Very informative video content... both are good mixers..

[@christiandiscernment1697]

Thanks for the very well-done, helpful video.

[@kettnercreative]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Richy1anita]

Hi, on the mackie, how many multi tracks can I record at one time?

[@singwithganeshentertainmen4469]

Sir I need to karoake live singing.. Facebook Live which is best for me. Yamaha is not available on market wait or buy Mackie

[@pedrolsantiagosr5092]

Another great video, thx

[@junkokinoko7277]

Great video source - do you have a review between the mackie pro FXV3 & ZEDI 10fx by Allen & heath? Thank you

[@kettnercreative]

A lot of people have be asking for this lately. I'm trying to get my hands on a ZEDi right now, just on backorder. Hopefully I'll be able to make this video soon!

Hi Mr. Jordan, Wishing you Mary Christmas and happy new year I’m Ahmed Sultan from Cairo, Egypt In fact, I am a good follower of your channel, and I really find a good amount of useful and wonderful information in the field of audio engineering. Actually I am beginner in this issue, I need a good mixer but I'm not sure which of these Three mixers would be the better buy ( Regardless of the price ), So would you please advise ? Mackie Onyx12 12 Mackie ProFX12v3 Yamaha MG12XU Very Important Note : I will rely on this mixer at home and outdoor events, Life performance, as well as recording music at home. As always, thanks for your help. Kindest Regards, Ahmed Sultan

[@og951]

What if Im doing a live show and I want to use a vocal preset with auto tune in ableton would that be possible or i need extra equipment?

[@DanielMorales-qp8rf]

Which one sounds clearer using it for instruments?

[@RobertSababady]

Quick question - do the mute buttons on the Mackie mute the USB output as well as the main output?

[@shreniktalati880]

What kind of amplifier we buy for these mixers ? How many watts is enough for home or small gathering?

[@kettnercreative]

I would just buy a self powered speaker. Easy to run, easy to power, don’t have to worry about proper pairing.

[@elishchannel1858]

Sir I want to know which mixer is the top list brand

[@aslanyureky]

Which one is better for pod cast and audio dubbing?

[@garygillespie]

I beleive on both these mixers using the USB, Windows only sees this as one device. Is there a mixer around this price range with USB, that Windows can see each channel as a seperate line in?

[@kettnercreative]

You would have to go up to a mixer $1000+ for that feature.

[@garygillespie]

@@kettnercreative that's what I was afraid of, thanks.

[@garygillespie]

I just found an Zoom L-12 that looks like it can truly do multi-out via USB but it's $599, so I guess that would be the next class up from these models.
