Yamaha MG20 20-Channel Analog Mixing Console with 2x DBR15 15-Inch 1,000W Powered Loudspeakers and HPH-MT5 Closed-Back Studio Monitor Headphones

Yamaha MG20, DBR15 Pair, and HPH-MT5: A Full-Scale Main-Stage PA With Silent Monitoring Built In

This bundle pairs the biggest mixer in Yamaha's MG analog line with its 15-inch powered mains and adds a closed-back monitor headphone, so the engineer can build, check, and run the whole show from one rig. The Yamaha MG20 is a 20-channel console with 16 mic / 20 line inputs, D-PRE preamps on every channel, and four group buses for routing a full band, a theater pit, or a worship ensemble on one board. The two DBR15 cabinets are 15-inch, 1,000W Class-D powered loudspeakers that hit 132 dB peak and reach 50 Hz, filling a large room without a subwoofer. The HPH-MT5 closed-back headphones plug into the console's dedicated headphone bus, so you can solo a channel, ring out a mix, and confirm the board is right before the mains ever go up. One order delivers the console, the main pair, and the silent-monitoring headphone that the bare PA leaves out.

16 Mic and 20 Line Inputs With D-PRE Preamps Handle the Whole Band at Once

The MG20 gives you 12 mono mic/line combo channels plus 4 mono/stereo channels — 16 mic inputs and 20 line inputs in total, the most in the MG analog range. Every input runs through a D-PRE preamp, Yamaha's inverted Darlington circuit that delivers natural, high-headroom gain for dynamic and condenser microphones alike, with switchable +48V phantom power for condensers. A drum kit, a horn section, multiple vocalists, wireless lavs for a theater cast, and stereo playback all land on one console at the same time. The -128 dBu equivalent input noise and 0.03% THD keep the signal path quiet and clean even with the gain pushed for a large production.

1-Knob Compression, Sweepable Mid EQ, and Four Aux Sends for Total Hands-On Control

Channels 1-8 each carry a 1-knob compressor — one control smooths a dynamic vocal or a slap bass so it sits cleanly in a dense mix, no outboard rack required. The 3-band EQ on channels 1-12 includes a sweepable midrange, so you dial straight to a ringing feedback frequency instead of fighting a fixed mid band, and an 80 Hz high-pass filter on every mic channel strips stage rumble and mic-stand thumps before they reach the bus. Four aux sends — one switchable to the internal FX path — build up to four independent monitor or effects mixes, enough for a full band's worth of wedges and in-ears, while four group buses fold drums or a backing-vocal cluster down to a single fader.

The HPH-MT5 Headphone Bus Turns the Console Into a Silent Line-Check Station

The MG20 has a dedicated 1/4-inch headphone output with its own level control, and the included HPH-MT5 is the closed-back monitor headphone built to use it. Before the mains go up, solo any channel in the cans to confirm a mic is live, ring out a problem frequency, or set gain on a quiet stage — the closed-back, circumaural design isolates outside noise so what you hear is the board, not the room. The HPH-MT5's custom 40 mm dynamic drivers deliver a flat, high-resolution 20 Hz-20 kHz response tuned to Yamaha's reference monitoring philosophy, so the mix you build in headphones translates to the mix the DBR15 mains throw. At 8.6 oz with a detachable 9.8 ft cable and a screw-on 1/4-inch adaptor, it stays comfortable through a long soundcheck and a full show.

Two DBR15 Cabinets: 1,000W, 132 dB Peak, and 15-Inch Low-End for the Biggest Rooms

Each DBR15 is a 2-way bi-amp powered cabinet driving a 15-inch woofer with a 2.5-inch voice coil and a 1.4-inch compression driver from 1,000W of Class-D power, reaching a 132 dB SPL peak across a 90° x 60° pattern. A FIR-X linear-phase crossover at 2.1 kHz keeps transients coherent and the woofer and horn phase-aligned, and the response reaches 50 Hz so a full-program music set or a kick-and-bass-heavy mix lands with weight a 10- or 12-inch cabinet can't match. Onboard D-CONTOUR DSP retunes each cabinet for front-of-house mains or floor-wedge monitoring in a single switch, a built-in 2-channel mixer accepts XLR/TRS combo and RCA inputs with an XLR daisy-chain output, and each cabinet weighs just 42.6 lb for one-person load-in with 35 mm pole and M8 rigging mounting.

How the Console, the Main Pair, and the Monitor Headphone Work as One Wired System

The MG20's stereo XLR outputs feed the two DBR15 cabinets directly — main-left to one box, main-right to the other — so the console's mix arrives at the speakers as a clean balanced signal, and the DBR15's onboard amplification means no separate power amp is needed. The HPH-MT5 plugs into the console's headphone bus for pre-show line checks and in-show solo monitoring, the DBR15 pair throws the mains, and a cabinet laid down with the MONITOR D-CONTOUR preset off an aux send covers the stage wedge. The 20-channel front end, the 132 dB main pair, and the closed-back reference headphone are scaled to each other: enough inputs to mic the entire production, enough output to cover the room, and a silent way to check it all first.

For the Full-Band FOH Engineer, the Worship Tech, and the Mobile Sound Provider Who Monitors First

This is the rig for the engineer who builds the mix in headphones before the room ever hears it. The first-time large-format buyer gets a console, a main pair, and a reference monitor headphone already scaled to each other, with nothing left to source. The upgrader moving from a compact PA gains eight to ten more inputs, four real group buses, 15-inch low-end with 132 dB headroom, and a closed-back headphone for silent cueing the old rig never had. The comparison shopper gets the hard numbers — 16 mic inputs, 1,000W per cabinet, 50 Hz reach, 132 dB peak, flat 20 Hz-20 kHz monitoring — that prove this bundle covers a full band in a large room and lets you line-check it silently first. One purchase, one wired system, the whole show built and run from one position.
