Yamaha Debuts Small-Format Mixer with High-Res Capability

New York City (October 20, 2003)--Yamaha has introduced the 96 kHz-capable 01V96. Built into the same footprint as the original 01V, the rackmountable 01V96 features 40 simultaneous mixing channels with full-resolution 24-bit/96 kHz audio, a range of stereo effects with 32-bit internal processing, and full automation. The control surface, large display screen and user interface allow analog-style, hands-on operation, with eight user-defined keys available for assignable functions.

The 01V96 provides extensive support for Digidesign Pro Tools, Steinberg Nuendo and other popular computer-based recording software, and also integrates easily with digital audio workstations. An important upgrade is the inclusion of ADAT I/O, eliminating the need for a dedicated expansion card. Bundled Yamaha Studio Manager software is compatible with both Macintosh and Windows platforms.

Inputs 1-32 feature fully independent gating/compression processors, 4-band parametric EQ, delay and two pre-EQ/post-delay insert points. Stereo inputs 1-4 feature parametric EQ. Up to four of the built-in effect processors (two at 96 kHz) may be used simultaneously. Up to 99 scene memories are available to store complete snapshots of all console settings for instant recall. Separate memory "libraries" are included for storage of EQ, dynamics, input and output patching and effects settings. In addition to snapshot capability, an external sequencer can be used to record real-time movement of the motorized faders, EQ settings and other parameters, allowing complete mix automation.

The 17 precision 100mm motorized channel faders can be instantly layer-switched to control any input or output. All available inputs, outputs, effects and channel inserts can be assigned to channels or outputs via a digital patching system. A direct-out function allows signal from any input channel to be routed to any digital or analog output.

The 01V96 is currently available at an MSRP of $2,499.
