Yamaha Music Philippines (YMPH) successfully held Yamaha Audioversity Manila 2026, a two-day professional audio event on February 11 and 12, 2026, at the 9th floor, VCP Building, 68 Kalayaan Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City. The event brought together audio engineers, production professionals, church technical teams, and sound enthusiasts for an immersive learning experience focused on Yamaha’s latest professional audio technologies. The two-day Metro Manila event welcomed a total of 284 participants from different organizations, including churches, rental companies, schools, LGUs, broadcast stations, music studio productions, and system integrators.

One of the key highlights of the event was the official launch of the Yamaha MGX Series, introducing a new line of mixers designed to deliver reliability, flexibility, and high-quality sound performance for various applications including live sound, installations, and broadcast environments. The new line generated so much interest and inquiry, leading to a collaboration for in-store sales promotions with the dealer Yamaha Music Greenhills. As of today, a total of 33 stores nationwide have a display of the Yamaha MGX Series.

The program began with a Yamaha Introduction and MGX Series Presentation led by Paolo Bersales, ProAudio Supervisor, who presented the core features and innovations of the MGX Series. Attendees were introduced to the design philosophy behind the new mixers and how they support professional workflows across different sound environments.

In addition, John Joseph Montilla, AV Supervisor, delivered a Business Solutions Presentation, showcasing how Yamaha professional audio and AV solutions can be integrated into various settings such as corporate spaces, venues, houses of worship, and live production systems.

Audioversity Manila 2026 also featured a series of sessions led by experienced professionals in the Philippine audio industry. This contributed value and support in the industry through public audio seminars through audio industry leaders and mentors.
