1. Hi Bruno,
   Thanks for all your hard work and videos posted. I have questions about setting up my Yamaha MGP16X with the following equipment:
   1. Ev ETX-35P (power speaker)
   2. dbx AFS2 (Feedback Suppression) with two channels.
   3. Two Sennheiser e 945 microphones.
   I have tried setting/hooking this up based on procedures suggested by manufacturers for these devices, but I don’t think I made it to properly optimized performance so far. So I need your help on this, and please guide me through the setup.
   Thanks in advance!

2. Hi Bruno ,
   Thankyou for your attention to detail and concise training package I had a MG16XU
   And recently upgraded to a MG20XU to get those extra channels. Definitely worth the money. Previously I was as you have quoted “ do I turn down the Mariachi band , nooo” I used a 8 channel sub mix. Again your training was instrumental to my understanding.
   The MG20 despite being a comparatively modest investment delivers.
   My first outing with the MG 20 was a complete success , very much contributed to by your tutorials. Last night the Yamaha performed faultlessly. It’s ease of use very much helping.
   Regards

   1. Great to hear that David, it’s always better to have too many channels than not enough. All the best with your music!

   1. Hello Santosh, thanks for watching 🙂 On this particular model the onboard FX cannot be routed to the aux sends. If you need reverb in the monitors you will need to use an external FX unit.

4. Hi Bruno,
   Your series on the Yamaha MG 20XU is awesome! Our band recently bought this mixer and your training video has really helped me in understanding its features.
   One question, there seems to be confusion on is whether you can send reverb effects to on stage monitors using AUX1. I can get it in the main FOH speakers, but not on the monitors. Manual appears to say you can do this, but others say you cannot.
   Can you tell me if this is possible with this mixer?
   Thanks,
   Mark

   1. Hi there Mark, thanks for getting in touch. On the MG20XU, the internal effects CANNOT be routed to any of the aux sends. This is one of several compromises that Yamaha have made in order to fit 20 mono channels into a chassis that can still be rack-mounted. The MG16XU is the same physical size as the 20 but because it has fewer channels Yamaha was able to include a proper FX return fader and routing to the aux sends. If you are using the MG20XU and need effects in the stage monitors you will need to use an external effects unit and return the wet signal into a channel or pair of channels. All the best with your music 🙂
