Yamaha AG 03 MK2 Mixing Console

The specialist's opinion

The Yamaha AG03 MK2 is a 3-channel Mixing desk with integrated USB audio interface, designed by Yamaha to meet the needs of content creators, streamers, podcasters and musicians looking for a versatile, compact and easy-to-handle tool.

This second generation of the original AG03, already a benchmark in the streaming world, brings significant improvements in connectivity, internal circuitry and overall audio quality.

Studio audio quality in a compact format

The AG03 MK2 offers up to 24-bit / 192 kHz recording, guaranteeing faithful, professional audio signal reproduction. Yamaha's D-PRE microphone preamplifier, inherited from the brand's high-end stage consoles, ensures clear, detailed sound with low background noise. USB-C connectivity improves transmission stability and power supply over the previous generation, while allowing external battery operation for on-the-go use.

Inputs and outputs suitable for all uses

The console features an XLR/6.35 mm jack combo mic/line channel with switchable 48V phantom power for Condenser Mics, a Hi-Z switchable line/guitar input on channel 2, plus a 4-pin TRRS mini-jack input for connecting a smartphone for streaming. Outputs include two 6.35 mm jacks, two RCA outputs and two headphone outputs, including one dedicated to headset-type headphones. A large 60 mm fader facilitates fast, precise control of overall mix level.

DSP effects, LOOPBACK and software included

A built-in DSP processor handles essential effects such as the 1-Touch compressor/EQ, SPX reverb and a guitar amp simulator in real time, all configurable via the AG Controller software (Windows, Mac and iOS). The LOOPBACK function allows PC sound to be fed back into the streaming mix with just a few clicks, ideal for live broadcasts. A dedicated Mute button mutes the microphone instantly, also controllable via optional footswitch. The MK2 is supplied with Cubase AI and WaveLab Cast for music production and audio editing.
