Precautions  
Warnings  
Cautions  
• Do not allow water to enter this unit or allow the  
unit to become wet. Fire or electrical shock may  
result.  
• This unit has ventilation holes at the top and right  
side to prevent the internal temperature rising too  
high. Do not block them. Blocked ventilation holes  
are a fire hazard.  
• Connect this unit’s power cord only to an AC out-  
let of the type stated in this Owner’s Manual or as  
marked on the unit. Failure to do so is a fire and  
electrical shock hazard.  
• Hold the power cord plug when disconnecting it  
from an AC outlet. Never pull the cord. A damaged  
power cord is a potential fire and electrical shock  
hazard.  
• Do not scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the power  
cord. A damaged power cord is a fire and electrical  
shock hazard.  
• Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.  
Doing so is a potential electrical shock hazard.  
• Do not place heavy objects, including this unit, on  
top of the power cord. A damaged power cord is a  
fire and electrical shock hazard. In particular, be  
careful not to place heavy objects on a power cord  
covered by a carpet.  
Operating Notes  
• Using a mobile telephone near this unit may  
induce noise. If noise occurs, use the telephone  
away from the unit.  
• If you notice any abnormality, such as smoke,  
odor, or noise, or if a foreign object or liquid gets  
inside the unit, turn it off immediately. Remove  
the power cord from the AC outlet. Consult your  
dealer for repair. Using the unit in this condition is  
a fire and electrical shock hazard.  
• XLR-type connectors are wired as follows:  
pin 1: ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold (–).  
• Insert TRS phone jacks are wired as follows:  
sleeve: ground, tip: send, and ring: return.  
• The performance of components with moving  
contacts, such switches, rotary controls, faders,  
and connectors, deteriorates over time. The rate of  
deterioration depends on the operating environ-  
ment and is unavoidable. Consult your dealer  
about replacing defective components.  
• Should this unit be dropped or the cabinet be  
damaged, turn the power switch off, remove the  
power plug from the AC outlet, and contact your  
dealer. If you continue using the unit without  
heeding this instruction, fire or electrical shock  
may result.  
• If the power cord is damaged (i.e., cut or a bare  
wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement.  
Using the unit with a damaged power cord is a fire  
and electrical shock hazard.  
• Do not remove the unit’s cover. You could receive  
an electrical shock. If you think internal inspec-  
tion, maintenance, or repair is necessary, contact  
your dealer.  
• Do not modify the unit. Doing so is a fire and elec-  
trical shock hazard.

Introduction  
Introduction  
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha GF24/12, GF16/12, or GF12/12 mixing console.  
These mixers provide an ample twelve outputs, and are suitable for a wide variety of  
applications ranging from concert sound reinforcement to installed systems. In order to  
take full advantage of the mixer’s functionality and to enjoy years of trouble-free perfor-  
mance, please read this manual carefully.  
Note:  
• This owner’s manual assumes that you are familiar with basic operation of a mixing  
console and its specialized vocabulary.  
• At points where the specifications of the GF24/12, GF16/12, and GF12/12 differ, the  
specifications of the GF16/12 and GF12/12 are given in curly brackets { }.  
Features of the system  
• In addition to the main stereo outputs, this mixer  
• An insert I/O jack is provided on each mono input  
channel and on the ST bus, allowing you to insert  
external effect processors as desired.  
provides six AUX outputs plus four group outputs  
(a total of 12 outputs). The AUX/GROUP outputs  
can be used not only as sends to external effect  
processors or to a multitrack recorder, but are also  
ideal for creating separate foldback mixes for each  
speaker and amp.  
• The TAPE IN jacks and REC OUT jacks let you  
easily connect a master recorder for recording or  
playback.  
• The MONO OUT jack can be controlled indepen-  
dently from the STEREO OUT jacks. Since a mon-  
aural mix of the main output is sent from this  
output, it can be used to extend a PA system.  
• All input channels provide a high-pass filter, a  
three-band EQ, and 60 mm faders.  
• All input channels/AUX returns provide a PFL  
switch, and AUX/group/stereo output channels  
provide an AFL switch. You can audition input and  
output sources at the touch of a button.  
• All mono input channels provide balanced XLR  
type and TRS phone jack connectors that accom-  
modate a range of sources from mics to line level  
devices.  
Contents  
• Switchable phantom power is provided. This can  
supply DC +48 V power from the XLR type input  
connectors to condenser mics and direct boxes  
that require an external power supply.  
Two stereo input channels allow connection of  
line-level equipment. 1/4" phone jack and phono  
jack inputs can be selected by a switch.  
Two stereo AUX returns are provided. This allows  
AUX return signals to be sent to an AUX bus or  
GROUP bus as well as to the ST bus. These can  
also be used as spare line level input jacks.
