The Yamaha AG03MK2 Live Streaming Mixer is a compact audio-mixing solution for podcasting, livestreaming, gaming and even basic music production and mobile recording. The mixer’s large 60mm fader is a welcome control for smooth fade ins and fade outs, as well as tactile and precise level adjustments. A handy Mute button silences the audio for concealing coughs, sneezes, barking dogs and any other environmental noises that might disrupt the flow of your podcast or livestream. (The Mute can also be controlled via an optional Yamaha FC5 footswitch for hands-free hushing.) There are inputs and outputs to serve practically every audio need, including an XLR and 1/4" combo jack, Hi-Z guitar jack, 1/4" inputs (for keyboards and other line-level instruments), four-pole TRRS mini jack (for smartphones and other devices) and USB-C.

Choose the Best Mic for the Job

The AG03MK2 does not put any limits on the microphone you can use for your productions. Channel 1’s combo input and onboard +48-volt phantom power accepts everything from your gig-beaten dynamic mics to high-end, studio-quality condensers.

Add Some Aural Wizardry

The LOOPBACK feature lets you input audio from a connected USB device and mix it with your live audio in real time. Keep the sound of your gaming in the mix, add musical underscores to your conversations or drop in sound effects.

One-Touch Effects and Zero-Latency DSP

The AG03MK2 lets you add dimension and vibe to your production without having to worry, tweak or overthink. The simple push of a button automatically produces a preset reverb effect and/or optimized EQ and compression settings. These are onboard signal processors, so there are no annoying latency issues that can mess with your audio. If you prefer to dial in your own effects, simply record your input signals raw and dry and process them later in your DAW. In addition, the AG Controller software offers detailed or simple audio enhancement from any USB-connected Windows, Mac or iOS device.

Don’t Stop Me Now

Expand your audio capabilities with free bundled software. The AG03MK2 includes Steinberg Cubase AI music production software and WaveLab Cast for audio production and editing. The AG03MK2 is compatible with Rec'n'Share and Cubasis LE for iOS, and both are available free of charge from Yamaha and Steinberg.

Go On Location

The ultra-compact AG03MK2 can be dropped into a gig or DJ bag—or the storage pockets on your instrument case—and carried anywhere. Travel to your talent for podcasts, produce live-action shows outside of a studio setting and record anything you can envision while on-the-go. There’s nothing holding you back from making engaging and exciting content.
