Yamaha AG06MK2 6-Channel Live Streaming USB Audio Interface Mixer, Black

Two heads are better than one. The same can be said for microphone inputs, especially when it comes to live streaming. The AG06MK2 offers the same user-friendly configuration and operation that has become synonymous with the AG series, but also comes equipped with two phantom-powered mic inputs for condenser microphones. Combined with flexible connectivity, including an upgraded 4-pole mini I/O, the AG06MK2 opens a broader range of dialogue, interview, musical ensemble performance, or other streaming applications that the AG01 or AG03MK2 setups can’t cover.

The AG06MK2 allows you to connect two condenser microphones of your choice, as well as two stereo line inputs for instruments, and an upgraded 4-pole mini jack (TRRS) for smartphone input/output capability. Of course, it’s also possible to add audio from devices connected via USB in LOOPBACK mode as with previous AG models. This diverse range of connectivity makes it possible to use high-sensitivity microphones, along with each of the audio sources, for a variety of streaming applications such as podcasts with dialogue, interviews, vocal performances with an acoustic instrument, or even a live band.

With a design similar to a mixing console, the AG06MK2 is equipped with a variety of physical controls that help you shape and manage the audio you stream to your audience. The newly added mute button allows you to cut your mic input at a moment's notice if your situation demands it, and can even be controlled using Yamaha’s FC5 dedicated foot switch (sold separately) which can also add reverb to your signal while keeping your hands free for other tasks.

Sound quality can often be a deciding factor for whether someone will tune in to your live streaming content. With the adoption of USB-C, and the requisite improved internal circuitry, the AG06MK2 significantly elevates sound quality, giving your streaming a more professional edge.

Regardless of your particular streaming application, you’ll want to give It'some depth and dimension, which adds a level of professionalism. The AG06MK2 comes equipped with optimized 1-TOUCH COMP/EQ and REVERB controls to dial in the sound that best suits your style, and a 1-TOUCH amp simulator to add authenticity and punch to your guitar input. All these tools are processed by the internal DSP chip so there’s no delay, making it particularly valuable for live streaming when real-time accuracy is crucial. And when you want to capture pure, raw recordings through your preferred microphone and edit them later, you have the option to turn these effects off completely.

AG Controller software allows users to easily and precisely check and configure the DSP audio processing inside the AG. Offering two modes of operation, “Simple” and “Detail,” AG Controller gives users of varying music production experience detailed management of their audio from any Windows/Mac or iOS device connected to the AG06MK2 via USB.

The sleek, slim, and compact body of the AG06MK2 can be placed on virtually any flat surface.

By combining it with the optional BMS-10A adaptor, it can be installed on a microphone stand. It can also be connected to a mobile battery to configure a minimalistic, mobile streaming station anywhere.

*For stable operation of the AG06MK2, a power supply of DC 5V 900mA or more is required.

*BMS-10A and mobile battery are sold separately.

The AG06MK2 comes bundled with Cubase AI music production software, as well as WaveLab Cast for audio production and editing. The AG06MK2 is also compatible with Rec'n'Share and Cubasis LE applications for iOS devices which are available free of charge from Yamaha and Steinberg to support and inspire your audio content creation.
