Your Audience Awaits.
As the flagship model of Yamaha’s second-generation AG series lineup, the AG08 combines all the essential functionality of its predecessors with a versatile selection of practical new features to give you a powerful all-in-one streaming station. By integrating more flexible I/O and USB routing options, expanded foot switch functionality, as well as additional DSP effects and improved internal circuitry for class-leading sound, the AG08 is able to support an impressive depth of live streaming applications, as well as offline audio content creation. From single-user talking, gaming, ASMR, voice acting, or vocal/instrument performances, to multiple personnel applications even on the scale of a full-blown variety show, the real-world, real-time functionality of the AG08 will leave your audience wanting more.
Two Condenser Mic IN with Two Headphone OUT
Like the AG06MK2, both Channel 1 and 2 of the AG08 are equipped with phantom power to support condenser microphones that are favored amongst musicians and dialogue-driven content creators for their exceptional sensitivity and fidelity. You can also pan left and right with the AG08 Controller dedicated app for any kind of stereo microphones including ASMR microphones.
In addition, there are two independent headphone monitor channels for applications where two people are broadcasting a conversation or where there is someone other than the performers managing the audio.
Three Assignable Faders for Flexible USB IN/OUT
The signal from multiple apps on a USB-connected PC, or analog line inputs can be individually assigned to the faders for Channel 3/4, 5/6, or 7/8 of the AG08, allowing you to intuitively mix the LINE/USB audio signals via physical control of the faders. Conversely, three USB mixed outputs from the AG08 can be individually assigned to various apps on the PC via USB connection.
Combining these functions makes it easy to respond more flexibly in real time, for example sharing optimally mixed audio with chat partners or listeners during live chats and streaming.
What’s more, for ASIO-supported apps such as DAW software, the direct out from each input channel (Channels 1, 2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8) and three mixed channels can be used in parallel, enabling multi-channel recording even during live streams.
Four Effect Preset Buttons for CH1
Yamaha AG08: Four Effect Preset Buttons for CH1
The four effect preset buttons on the bottom left of the AG08 console allow you to seamlessly switch between customized effect presets for Channel 1 on the fly. This gives users versatile, real-time control to add just the right amount of effect—including the new Voice Changer— during voice-acting and live music performances in particular.
Five DSP Effects
The AG08 come equipped with high-quality effects to color, correct, or enhance your vocal and musical instrument signals. Grouped into the five categories detailed below, all effects are processed by the onboard DSP, so there is no latency and no impact on PC processing. *Details of each DSP effect can be set in the AG08 Controller app.
Voice Changer (CH1) / Amp Sim (CH2)
Comp, EQ
Reverb, Delay
Ducker
Maximizer
Channel 1 features a new voice changer effect that can transform your voice into that of a different gender, a robot, and more, while Channel 2 offers an amp simulator for a more authentic guitar or bass amp sound. These, along with Comp, EQ, Reverb, and the newly added Delay, can be set independently on each channel, allowing you to dial in the optimal setting for each.
