The D-PRE mic preamps feature an inverted Darlington circuit and switchable 48V phantom power for use with dynamic and condenser microphones. They also each feature 26 dB attenuation switches for recording loud sound sources such as guitar amplifiers.
The MG06 mixer has stereo XLR and 1/4" outs for connecting to your PA system or monitor speakers. It also has a 1/4" headphone output with level control for personal monitoring.

Yamaha MG06 Reviews
Functional and simple mixer
I bought this mixer to combine the stereo outputs of two Yamaha keyboards. My older Peavey mixer only offered unbalanced (1/4 TS) jacks, which required outboard direct boxes to use with long cable runs. Now, I can leave the DIs at home and go straight to the mixing board with balanced XLR hookups. It would be nice though if there was a separate Monitor output with volume control, independent from the Main output. But you can't go wrong with the price and it's so small it fits in one of the zipper pouches on my keyboard gig bag.
A very basic but good mixer
I needed a couple more phantom power inputs for another device, and this was the most cost effective way I could figure out to do it. Sound is clean, and it will be a useful addition to my sound kit for dealing with adjusting audio levels from other devices in the field.
