Yamaha AG08 Live Streaming Mixer - Black

As the flagship model of their second-generation AG series lineup, the Yamaha AG08 combines all the essential functionality of its predecessors with a versatile selection of practical new features to give you a powerful all-in-one streaming station. By integrating more flexible I/O and USB routing options, expanded footswitch functionality, as well as additional DSP effects and improved internal circuitry for class- leading sound, the AG08 is able to support an impressive depth of live streaming applications, as well as offline audio content creation. From single-user talking, gaming, ASMR, voice acting, or vocal/instrument performances, to multiple personnel applications even on the scale of a full-blown variety show, the real-world, real-time functionality of the AG08 will leave your audience wanting more.

TWO CONDENSER MIC IN WITH TWO HEADPHONE OUT

Like the AG06MKII, both Channel 1 and 2 of the AG08 are equipped with phantom power to support condenser microphones that are favored amongst musicians and dialogue-driven content creators for their exceptional sensitivity and fidelity. You can also pan left and right with the AG08 Controller dedicated app for any kind of stereo microphones including ASMR microphones. In addition, there are two independent headphone monitor channels for applications where two people are broadcasting a conversation or where there is someone other than the performers managing the audio.

THREE ASSIGNABLE FADERS FOR FLEXIBLE USB IN/OUT

The signal from multiple apps on a USB-connected PC,or analog line inputs can be individually assigned to the faders for Channel 3/4, 5/6, or 7/8 of the AG08, allowing you to intuitively mix the LINE/USB audio signals via physical control of the faders. Conversely, three USB mixed outputs from the AG08 can be individually assigned to various apps on the PC via USB connection. Combining these functions makes it easy to respond more flexibly in real time, for example sharing optimally mixed audio with chat partners or listeners during live chats and streaming. What’s more, for ASIO-supported apps such as DAW software, the direct out from each input channel (Channels 1, 2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8) and three mixed channels can be used in parallel, enabling multi-channel recording even during live streams.

FOUR EFFECT PRESET BUTTONS FOR CH1

The four effect preset buttons on the bottom left of the AG08 console allow you to seamlessly switch between customized effect presets for Channel 1 on the fly. This gives users versatile, real-time control to add just the right amount of effect— including the new Voice Changer— during voice-acting and live music performances in particular.

FIVE DSP EFFECTS

The AG08 come equipped with high-quality effects to color, correct, or enhance your vocal and musical instrument signals. Grouped into the five categories detailed below, all effects are processed by the onboard DSP, so there is no latency and no impact on PC processing. Details of each DSP effect can be set in the AG08 Controller app.

1. Voice Changer (CH1) / Amp Sim (CH2)
2. Comp, EQ
3. Reverb, Delay
4. Ducker
5. Maximizer

Channel 1 features a new voice changer effect that can transform your voice into that of a different gender, a robot, and more, while Channel 2 offers an amp simulator for a more authentic guitar or bass amp sound. These, along with Comp, EQ, Reverb, and the newly added Delay, can be set independently on each channel, allowing you to dial in the optimal setting for each.

The Ducker function can be used to automatically attenuate Channels 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8 playback sound relative to audio input from Channels 1 and 2, so you can easily set up a streaming system where Channels 1 and 2 signals are always heard clearly.

Finally, the Maximizer is a simple yet powerful mastering function that can add a level boost to your mix for extra polish and professionalism, as well as attenuating peaking signals to give your listeners and viewers a more comfortable and pleasant audio experience.

SIX SOUND PADS

The AG08 comes equipped with 6 customizable sound pads that allow you to easily add sound effects in real time to liven up your broadcasts. Using the “AG08 Controller” dedicated app you can simply drag and drop existing sound files and assign them to the pad of your choice, or record your own samples via the AG08 inputs and trim them to their desired length within the app.

CONVENIENT POWER SUPPLY

Along with the very convenient 1.5A bus USB power supply for mobile applications, the AG08 has been optimized to offer more stable operation with the addition of the new PA-150B dedicated AC power adapter.

POWERFUL BUNDLED SOFTWARE

The AG08 comes bundled with Cubase AI music production software, as well as WaveLab Cast for audio production and editing. The AG08 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.
