Yamaha AG06MK2

A six-channel streaming mixer with two mic inputs, an RCA line in and loopback; the control app is its weak point.

The Internet’s Opinion

From 6 professional reviews and 25 owner reviews: a fair amount of evidence.

All six reviews recommend it, and owners largely agree: loopback and the streaming-out modes make it simple to put two mics, a line source such as a DJ mixer and computer audio into one stream, with good-sounding preamps and a solid build. The repeated reservations are the AG Controller app, no Android app and no power adapter in the box.

Our take

Rory TassellWritten from the sources on this page, not from a loan unit.

All six reviews recommend it, five of them on YouTube, and owners largely agree: two phantom-powered mic inputs, a stereo line input for a DJ mixer and loopback put a mix, two voices and computer audio into one stream. The reservations are a clunky AG Controller app, no Android app and no power adapter in the box. Buy it to stream a DJ set with one or two mics; skip it if you stream from an Android phone.

What it is

Status, November 2026: current. Yamaha still lists the AG06MK2.

What it is

The AG06MK2 is a six-channel mixer with a built-in USB audio interface, made for live streaming (Yamaha specifications). Yamaha released it in April 2022 as the second generation of its AG series (Yamaha announcement).

A DJ mixer's output goes into one of the two stereo line inputs, on RCA or 1/4-inch jacks. Two combo inputs take microphones, with +48 V phantom power for condensers, and channel 2 also takes a guitar. A 4-pole mini jack connects a phone for voice chat or a mirrored stream, and a headset jack shares channel 1. The mix reaches a computer over USB-C as a 2-in, 2-out interface at up to 192 kHz and 24-bit. A three-way STREAMING OUT switch sends the two mic channels dry, the whole mix, or the mix plus the computer's own audio in LOOPBACK mode, and Yamaha lists it as OBS Certified. Compression, EQ, reverb and an amp simulator run on board, set in the AG Controller app for Windows, Mac and iOS.

It runs on USB power at 5 V and 900 mA. The box holds a 1.5 m USB 2.0 cable and download codes for Cubase AI and WaveLab Cast, but no power supply, which an iPhone or iPad setup needs. Reviewers and owners repeat that loopback makes streaming simple; owners report a clunky app and patchy Android support, and Bonedo notes that the reverb is always fully wet.
