Similarly, the reverb, which is of decent quality, is piled on rather thickly unless you use the software to tweak it. However, the guitar-amp modelling is a touch noisy, and there’s no way to moderate the amount of overdrive other than backing off the input gain control slightly, unless you use the software editor. The price also includes a downloadable ‘lite’ version of Cubase (Cubase Al) and a standard USB cable.Īs an audio interface, the AG06 sounds clean and the mic amps don’t disappoint. No cable or PSU is supplied for this and a Camera Connection Kit is required for use with an iPad. On the rear panel is a USB port and a second mini-USB connector for external power (USB charger or battery equivalent) when the device is being used with a tablet rather than a computer. There are also two main mix output jacks and a footswitch jack, for killing the reverb effect.

Separate level controls are fitted for the main headphone output (quarter-inch jack) and the stereo speaker output jacks, with a button for muting only channels one and two in the monitors - something you might want to do if monitoring these back from a DAW. Basic metering is included, with a green signal-present and red clip LED on the output. The last two are self-explanatory, but Dry Ch 1/2 allows you to hear the signal with effects, but to record them dry. A further mini-jack accepts iPod inputs and suchlike.Ī three-way slide switch selects the input source that feeds into the computer, the choices being Dry Ch 1/2, Input Mix and Loopback.

These are used for connecting headset mics that may also incorporate headphones. A further level control is provided for the USB audio return from the computer and there are two headset mini-jack connectors, one labelled ’To Ch1’ and the other with a headphone logo. Inputs 5/6 are via RCA phono connectors, and are intended for connecting consumer music players, again with a high/low gain switch and a level control. Input 3/4 is stereo at line level and accepts jack plugs, for the connection of keyboards or similar sources: it has only a high/low gain setting and a level pot. The jack section of the ‘combi’ connector on that channel accepts line sources and the one on channel two accepts instrument sources. Switchable phantom power is available on channel one only. The amp sim has variable drive and a three-band EQ. For example, you can access the compressor’s gain, ratio, threshold, attack and release times, and there’s a fully parametric EQ. The software offers an easy mode, which provides the user with stomp-box level tweaks to things like vocal tonality or amp gain, but also an expert mode, which provides a depth of control comparable with what you might expect from software plug-ins.

At the time of review this was only available for Windows, though a Mac version is in development.

These effects are preset unless you download the free AG DSP Controller software, which gives you rather deeper control. Channel two has a switchable Amp Sim, which promises a warm tube amp sound, and an Effect - again, a reverb, which is based on Yamaha’s established SPX algorithms. Channel one has a switchable Comp/EQ facility, which adds both EQ and compression with the aim of producing a polished vocal sound, and an Effect, in this case reverb. It also incorporates some basic DSP effects.

So you have to keep your wits about you to avoid setting up a feedback loop - but the user guide shows the correct settings for various typical applications. The audio spec encompasses 24-bit, 192kHz recording and playback and includes a useful loopback facility. However, it doesn’t have typical mixer features such as EQ controls and pan pots, or an included power supply.That’s because the AG06 isn’t primarily a mixer at all - rather, it might best be thought of as a bus-powered audio interface with some additional mixing and monitoring capabilities.

The AG06 might at first glance appear to be a compact analogue mixer - it sports a couple of XLR/combi mic inputs on the top, plus two other stereo inputs.
