From the seller

Up for grabs is a killer piece of Japanese audio history: the Yamaha M512. Produced by Nippon Gakki in the early 1980s, this 12-channel board is a sleeper hit in the vintage world. If you’re lookin' to get away from that sterile "in-the-box" digital sound, this is exactly how you do it. The M512 is famous for its Tamura input transformers on every channel. These give you a smooth, musical saturation and a low-end "bump" that you just can't recreate with plugins. It’s essentially a 12-channel "warming" station for your DAW or a rock-solid front end for a vintage tape setup. Key Features: • 12 Discrete Channels: Each with balanced XLR inputs and those sought-after Tamura transformers. • 3-Band EQ: Very musical and "grabby" for carving out space in a mix. • Build Quality: Real rosewood veneer side panels and a tank-like chassis. This isn't a plastic toy; it’s a professional tool built to last another 40 years. • Vibe for Days: Perfect for analog summing or as a character preamp for drums and guitars. Condition: This unit (Serial #1505) is in solid vintage shape. The faceplate is clean, and the wood panels have that nice "lived-in" patina you'd expect from a shop-kept legend. Specs: • Model: M512 • Power: 120V / 60Hz (Standard US Plug) • Manufactured: Nippon Gakki Co., LTD, Japan Guitars West Shipping & Return Policy In our 45 + years of business, customer service has always been the utmost Importance to us.
