Yamaha TF3 24CH Digital Mixer

*Available mid-late May 2015*Design Meets Intuition Yamaha has always made it a mission to stay in touch with the needs of sound engineers world wide. The outcome is evident in the success of the recent CL and QL series digital mixing consoles, and the flagship RIVAGE PM10. The key to success has always been in supporting the user's creativity. Creativity is most effective when unrestricted, and now Yamaha has created a new digital mixing console that gives the user's intuition even freer rein. TouchFlow Operation introduced in the TF series consoles allows the user to respond to the music and artists on stage with unprecedented speed and freedom, taking live sound reinforcement to a new level of refinement. With the TouchFlow Operation interface optimized for touch panel control, experienced engin eers as well as newcomers to the field will find it easier than ever to achieve the ideal mix. Recallable D-PRE preamplifiers support sound quality that will satisfy the most discerning pro fessional ears, while advanced live recording features and seamless operation with high-performance I/O racks give these compact digital mixers capabilities that make them outstanding choices for a wide range of applications.TouchFlow Operation - Smooth, Natural Control Flow Yamaha digital consoles have always been designed with input from leading engineers worldwide to ensure that the most efficient, intuitive operation is achieved. The highly regarded Selected Channel and Centralogic interfaces attest to the success of that approach. The TF series combines Yamaha know-how with new input from the field and the latest touch-screen technology to deliver an evolved experience in console operation. Smooth setup and operation, practical presets and scenes, refined design, and software applications that integrate seamlessly with the entire system: these elements comprise TouchFlow Operation, a new concept in console interfaces that offers unprecedented comfort and convenience in small consoles, for a wide range of users and applications. 25 motor faders (24 channels + 1 master) 48 input mixing channels (40 mono + 2 stereo + 2 return) 20 Aux (8 mono + 6 stereo) + Stereo + Sub buses 8 DCA groups with Roll-out 24 analog XLR/TRS combo mic/line inputs + 2 analog RCA pin stereo line inputs 16 analog XLR outputs 34 x 34 digital record/playback channels via USB 2.0 + 2 x 2 via a USB storage device 1 expansion slot for NY64-D audio interface card Outline Fader Configuration 24 + 1 (Master) Mixing CapacityInput Channels 48 (40 mono + 2 stereo + 2 return) Aux Buses 20 (8 mono + 6 stereo) Stereo Buses 1 Sub Buses 1 Input channel functions 8 DCA Groups I/OInputs 24 mic/line (XLR/TRS combo) + 2 stereo line (RCA pin) Outputs 16 (XLR) Expansion slots 1 On-board processorsDSP 8 Effects + 10 GEQ USB 34x34 USB Audio Interface, 2-track recording via USB Storage Device General specifications Sampling frequency rateInternal 48 kHz Signal delay Less than 2.6 ms, INPUT to OMNI OUT, Fs=48 kHz Fader 100 mm motorized, Resolution = 10-bit, +10 dB to -138 dB, - dB all faders Total harmonic distortion Less than 0.05% 20 Hz-20 kHz @+4 dBu into 600 , INPUT to OMNI OUT, Input Gain=Min.
