The new Yamaha MG - C series, are they worth the extra money?

[85Dave]

The older MG mixers from Yamaha (MG 8/2FX, MG 10/2, MG 12/4, MG 16/4, MG 16/6, and MG 16/6FX) are all great and work for my use but the new models (MG 102C, MG 82CX, MG 124C, and 124CX) are out now and I don't see that much of a difference other than some more RCA jacks


What did they change on the new models?

Compare the 10/2 and 102C...

the newer 102C seems to have a smaller meter at the right and they added two "comp." knobs.


If I were to upgrade, (and i'm looking to) I would sell the MG 10/2 and either go for the 12/4 or the new 124C. the 12/4 is much lower in price and would work but would you guys suggest I go for the new model?...if so, why?


Honestly I cant say I like the front panel jacks on the new model...the ones on the back in the 12/4 are a little better for my cables.

Thanks

Sounds like they pack a lot of new features upgraded pre's & eq's I mean if your running live sound they have the HP filter comes in handy for protecting the HF drivers also comps built in. I know that I loved they're FX unit back in the late 80's and early 90's if they're anything like those bad boys of yesterdays. I say probably a good upgrade I haven't tried one out yet. Depending where your buying most will let you return it if you don't like it. Give a shot I think you'll be happy I know Yamies always made decent gear and let us know how you like it.
