Yamaha's live streaming mixer 'AG08' photo review specializing in 8 channel input & live distribution



On January 27, 2022, Yamaha released the AG08 , the flagship model of the AG series of live streaming mixers. The AG08 not only has the basic performance for live distribution with 8-channel input, which is the largest number in the AG series, but it is also an all-in-one live streaming mixer equipped with various new functions. In order to ascertain what kind of mixer it is, I first checked its appearance.

The cosmetic box of AG08 looks like this.



The contents are AG08 main unit, USB-C cable, power adapter.



The top of AG08 looks like this. The size is 290 mm wide x 88 mm high x 222 mm deep, and the image below compares the size with the iPhone 14 of 146.7 mm x 71.5 mm. It weighs 2.2kg.



I compared the size side by side with the same Yamaha

AG03MK2 . The AG08 has more channels, so it has more sliders and buttons, and there are 4 buttons for preset switching on the lower left and 6 buttons for sound pads on the lower right.



You can see that it is slightly slanted when viewed from the front.

Input/output terminals for connecting microphones and speakers are arranged on the back.



The AG03MK2 had an input/output terminal on the top, and only a USB-C port for power supply and PC connection on the back. However, the AG08 is designed to connect almost all input and output devices to the back, and power is supplied by Yamaha's

PA-150B 2-pin connector power adapter instead of USB-C.



The back side looks like this. There were four feet made of silicon to prevent slipping, and a sticker with the model number and serial number was affixed.



Next, I plan to write an article about the flow of actually connecting to a PC and setting it up.

The list price of YAMAHA AG08 is 96,800 yen including tax. It is handled by Amazon.co.jp, but at the time of article creation, the price is higher than the list price on the Amazon marketplace.
