Yamaha AG08 live streaming 8 channel analogue mixer

Introducing the Yamaha AG08 live streaming 8 channel analogue mixer

The AG08 is an 8-channel live streaming mixer featuring two phantom power inputs for condenser mics, an integrated USB audio interface, voice changer and sampler. By integrating more flexible I/O and USB routing options, expanded foot switch functionality, as well as additional DSP effects and improved internal circuity 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 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.

Furthermore, while it's packed with useful features, the AG08 is very flexible and easy to use, so even if you're just starting out with streaming or performing, you don't have to feel intimidated by a complicated interface.

Professional standard features

Equipped with phantom power, the AG08 supports condenser microphones favoured amongst musicians and dialogue-driven content creators due to their exceptional sensitivity and fidelity. The AG08 Controller dedicated app also allows you to pan left and right for any kind if stereo microphones, including ASMR mics. Plus, there are two independent headphone monitor channels for applications where two people are broadcasting a conversation or where someone other than the performer is managing the audio.

Individually assigned faders and multi-channel recordings

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 mix the LINE/USB audio signals via physical controls of the faders however you want. On the other hand, three USB mixed outputs from the AG08 can be individually assigned to various apps on the PC via USB connection instead.

For simultaneous multi-channel recordings (CH1, 2, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8) even during live streams, there are DAW/Apps supporting ASIO to allow you to do this.

High-quality DSP effects

The AG08 comes equipped with high-quality effects to colour, correct, or enhance your vocal and musical instrument signals. All effects are processed by the onboard DSP, so there's no latency or impact on PC processing. CH1 features a voice changer effect that can transform your voice to sound like a robot, a different gender and more, and the CH2 offers an amp simulator for when you want a more authentic guitar or bass sound. There are also Comp, EQ, reverb and delay effects, all of which can be set independently on each channel, allowing you to always dial in the optimal settings.

Ducker and Maximiser functions

The Ducker function automatically attenuates CH3/4, 5/6 and 7/8 playback sound relative to audio input from CH1 and CH2, allowing for easy set-up of a stream where CH1 and CH2 signals are always clearly heard.

The Maximiser is then a simple yet powerful mastering function that adds a level of boost to mixes for extra polish and professionalism, as well as attenuating peaking signals for the best possible sound.

Four effects preset buttons for CH1

The four effect preset buttons on the bottom left of the AG08 console allow for seamless switching between customised effect presets for CH1. This provides users with 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.

Six sound pads

The AG08 comes equipped with 6 customisable sound pads to help easily liven up broadcasts. By using the AG08 Controller app, it's easy to simply drag and drop sound files and assign them to the pad of your choice or record personal samples via the AG08 inputs and trim them to their desired length all within the app.

Powerful software bundle

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 Cubase LE for iPad OS to support and inspire your audio content creation.
