Yamaha MG20 20-Channel Analog Mixing Console with 2x DBR12 12-Inch 1,000W Powered Loudspeakers and HPH-MT5 Studio Monitor Headphones

Yamaha MG20 + DBR12 Pair + HPH-MT5 Headphones: A High-Output PA With Silent Monitoring Built In

This bundle pairs the Yamaha MG20 20-channel analog mixing console with two DBR12 12-inch powered loudspeakers and a set of HPH-MT5 closed-back studio monitor headphones, so the engineer running the show hears the mix two ways: live through 2,000 watts of front-of-house output, and privately through a flat headphone reference at the board. The MG20 takes up to 16 microphones and 20 line sources, shapes every input with D-PRE preamps and per-channel EQ, and feeds the DBR12 pair over balanced XLR for a full-range PA you can unbox, wire, and run the same day. The HPH-MT5 is what turns the rig into a console you can solo, cue, and prep on without putting a single note into the room.

The MG20 Console: 20 Channels, D-PRE Preamps, and Four Independent Monitor Mixes

The MG20 is the largest mixer in Yamaha's MG analog lineup, with 12 mono mic/line combo channels plus 4 mono/stereo channels for up to 16 mic and 20 line inputs at once. Every channel runs through a D-PRE preamp, Yamaha's inverted Darlington circuit that delivers clean, high-headroom gain on dynamic and condenser mics alike, so a full band, a worship team, or a theater cast gets quiet, natural amplification without an external splitter. Four aux sends build four independent monitor or effects mixes, four group buses submix drums, horns, or backing vocals down to single faders, and a 3-band EQ with sweepable midrange on channels 1-12 lets the engineer chase a feedback frequency directly instead of fighting a fixed mid band.

1-Knob Compressors and a Metal Chassis That Survives the Load-Out

Channels 1 through 8 carry a 1-knob compressor: one turn smooths a vocalist who swings from a whisper to a belt, or a snare that jumps in the mix, so each source sits cleanly without a rack of outboard dynamics. An 80 Hz high-pass filter cleans up stage rumble and handling noise, the PAD handles hot sources, and +48V phantom power runs condensers and active DI boxes. The all-metal chassis and universal internal power supply are built for the road: the same console loads into a wedding ballroom on Saturday, a corporate conference Monday, and a Sunday service without a power brick to lose.

Two DBR12 Speakers: 1,000W Each, 131 dB SPL, and FIR-X Linear-Phase Tuning

Each DBR12 pairs a 12-inch LF cone and a 1.4-inch HF compression driver driven by 1,000 watts of Class-D bi-amplification, for 131 dB max SPL and a 52 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range that covers most program material with no subwoofer. Yamaha's proprietary FIR-X tuning gives the pair linear-phase crossover behavior and tighter transient response than IIR-based designs, so vocals stay intelligible and kick drums stay punchy even at high output. A D-Contour switch flips each cabinet between a front-of-house voicing and a floor-monitor voicing with one button, and the symmetrical cabinet plus 35mm pole socket means the same speaker stands tall as a main or tilts on the floor as a wedge.

HPH-MT5 Headphones: The Silent Reference That Makes This Bundle a Monitoring Rig

The HPH-MT5 is a closed-back, circumaural studio monitor headphone with custom 40mm dynamic drivers, a flat 20 Hz to 20 kHz response, and 51-ohm impedance that runs cleanly off the MG20's headphone output. This is the piece that separates this bundle from a speaker-only PA: the engineer can solo a channel, set gain, ring out a wedge mix, or prep a cue privately at the board while the room stays quiet, and the closed-back isolation keeps the 131 dB stage wash out of the reference. Moveable earcups rotate flat for single-ear monitoring, the folding arm collapses into the included nylon bag, and an 8.6 oz body and synthetic-leather pads keep the cans comfortable across a full event. A detachable 9.8-foot straight cable and screw-on 1/4-inch gold-plated adaptor connect straight to the console.

How the Console, Speakers, and Headphones Work as One System

The signal path is intentional from end to end. Sources hit the MG20's D-PRE preamps; the engineer shapes them with EQ, compression, and the four aux sends; the stereo mix leaves over balanced XLR and arrives at the two DBR12 cabinets, where each one's onboard amp and FIR-X DSP turn it into 131 dB of clean front-of-house sound. The HPH-MT5 closes the loop at the console: it gives the operator a private, flat window into that same mix for soloing, cueing, and sound-check work that you simply can't do on the speakers without filling the room. Console, output, and reference monitoring are matched and wired together, not assembled from mismatched parts.

For the Band Engineer, the Worship Tech, and the Mobile Sound Operator Who Mixes by Ear and by Cans

This bundle is for the operator who runs the whole show alone and needs to hear it both ways. The first-timer gets a complete, matched live-sound system in one order: console, two speakers, and reference headphones, nothing left to source. The upgrader moving off a powered mixer or a small board finally gets 20 channels, four real monitor sends, and a silent way to cue and prep at the position. The comparison shopper gets the hard numbers, 16 mic inputs, 2,000 total watts of Class-D, 131 dB SPL, FIR-X tuning, and a flat 40mm closed-back reference, in a single package built to load in, set up, and run the same day.
