General Questions
I cannot find the software such as USB Driver, AG DSP Controller and Cubase AI bundled with AG Mixer.
It is necessary to download the software from the Internet. Please find the following URL.
Is AG support ASIO driver?
Yes. It supports ASIO driver. It is necessary to install Yamaha Steinberg USB driver on Windows. After installation, you can use the DAW software that support ASIO, e.g. Cubase AI. On Mac, it is not necessary to install driver. The default driver of the OS will work.
Is AG support Mobile Battery?
It support mobile battery (5V 500mA), but we cannot guarantee that all types of mobile battery will work.
What do I need to connect with iPad?
To connect iPad and AG Series, the following items are necessary.
- Camera connection kit or Lightning-USB camera adapter
- Mobile Battery (5V 500mA、and connect to the micro USB port on the console) for electricity
What is the different between AG03 and AG06?
Basically there is no differences on the functions. The major differences are the number of I/O connector and the type and number of control switch and knobs.
Basic specifications
What is PAD?
It is the switch to lower the input signal level. Please turn it on when the input signal is distorted or the level is too high.

It is the switch to turn on/off for the equalizer and the compressor which can adjust the sound quality and minimize the variation on volume respectively.
My Window PC cannot detect my console. I cannot use the AG DSP Controller. Why?
It is necessary to install the USB driver to connect the console to PC. To install the USB driver, please refer to the following.
What kind of signals will be sent to PC/iPad if the TO PC switch is set to DRY CH1-2(G)?
The audio signal input to Ch 1 & 2 (Ch 2G for AG03) will be sent to the connected PC/iPad directly with the USB. These signals will not be affected by the level knob/fader. Also, the signal input to ch 1 & 2 can be recorded seperately.
What kind of signals will be sent to PC/iPad if the TO PC switch is set to INPUT MIX?
The audio signal that input to the console and mixed on stereo will be sent to PC/iPad. The input signal from computer will not be sent.
What kind of signals will be sent to PC/iPad if the TO PC switch is set to LOOPBACK?
The audio signal input to the console and the playback on the computer will be mixed on stereo and send to PC/iPad. Mainly for using on internet casting.
What is MONITOR MUTE? Why can I still see the signal input even if I turned it off?
When the MONITOR MUTE is switched on, the audio signal input to Ch 1 & 2 (Ch 2G for AG03) will no longer be able to output from the output port on console.
It is only that the signal will not output from the output port, but will still be able to send to the PC/iPad. It is usually used when direct monitoring is not necessary.
I cannot adjust the volume that connected to AUX.
Adjust the volume of AUX on the connected devices.
What is the use for FOOT SW?
Connect the console to the optional footswitch(Yamaha FC-5, etc) and switch on the EFFECT button allows the user tp mute the effects with foot.
Setup / Operation
