Yamaha TF-Rack 

Intuitive and Smooth All-in-One Rack-Style Digital Mixer with 16 Mic/Line + 1 Stereo Line Input and 16 Outputs.

TF-RACK is a compact rack-mount version of the TF Series digital mixing consoles, offering all-in-one mixing and processing capability for small to medium scale live sound, corporate speech events, installations and much more. It packs intuitive user interface, natural control flow, digital effects/processing units and many shortcuts to great sound into a compact, portable rack-style unit.

FEATURES:

• 40 input mixing channel (32 mono + 2 stereo + 2 return)
• 20 AUX buses (8 mono + 6 stereo + sub)
• 8 DCA groups with Roll-out
• 16 analog XLR outputs + 8 analog TRS 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

Recallable D-PRE Microphone Preamplifiers

The TF series consoles feature new recallable versions of Yamahas acclaimed D-PRE microphone preamplifier. The preamplifiers, or head amplifiers in any console play a significant role in defining the sound of the final mix, so Yamaha engineers spared no effort in developing and refining the D-PRE design to ensure that every nuance and subtlety of the original signal is effectively captured. The circuit is based on a discrete inverted Darlington pair configuration that achieves clean, precise amplification with consistently low noise and distortion at all signal levels. While some microphone preamps are built specifically to impart a unique character of their own, the D-PRE preamplifier has been painstakingly designed with a flat, wide frequency response that retains the tone and nuance of the original sound so that the essence of the performers art is captured intact.

Intuitive User Interface Optimized for Touch Panel Operation

Allowing most operations to be carried out via the touch panel alone, the innovative TF series interface will quickly become second nature to a broad spectrum of users. Along with the fast and accurate gain setup feature "GainFinder", shortcuts to great sound "QuickPro Presets" and so on, TF series will lead you to the desired results quickly and effortlessly through a smooth, efficient workflow.

8 Powerful Processing/Effect Units and more.

Featuring the same type of SPX processors that have become standards in recording and live sound applications, the TF-Rack offers 19 programs ranging from reverb and delay, through modulation effects such as flanger and chorus, to multiband compression.

With two units of global FX the panel EDIT key opens the effect parameter display where detailed parameters can be adjusted instantly. The remaining six Ins FX are available in the AUX 9/10~19/20 master channels for additional signal control i.e. managing levels for in-ear monitoring, or controlling output delay for remotely located speakers using a delay. If more than two Global FX units are required, these Ins effects can be used as additional SEND/ RETURN effects by assigning them to the main stereo bus.

The AUX 1~8 buses and main output channels include the same 4-band parametric EQ as provided on the input channels, plus 31-band Flex12 GEQ. Both types of EQ are invaluable for optimizing speaker response and eliminating feedback. These GEQ can also be assigned to the physical faders for more detailed fine tuning.

TF StageMix for Wireless Mixing

TF StageMix is an iPad application that provides wireless control of TF series consoles, allowing remote mixing from audience seating, in front of floor monitors, or any other listening position. It can also be used at the console as an extension of the consoles own interface. The TF StageMix interface is designed for similar operation and flow to the console display, making it easier than ever to refine the mix from any location.

MORE FEATURES:

• Scene memory that stores mix settings for instant recall - banks A and B are each capable of holding up to 100 scenes that can be set up and instantly recalled whenever needed, with some pre-programmed scenes to give users a head start.

• 1-knob COMP & 1-knob EQ add new speed and efficiency to the TF consoles. Both the 1-knob COMP and 1-knob EQ provide quick access to the full compressor and EQ displays, so you can fine tune settings as required.

• QuickPro Presets provide instant access to Pro Sound setups. Optimized microphone, music and output presets that include popular model choices from Audio-Technica, Sennheiser, Shure and Ultimate Ears

• Extend the Console with three dedicated apps - TF Editor, TF StageMix, and MonitorMix - featuring user interfaces that seamlessly extend the console on any device.

• TF Editor facilitates offline editing plus Showtime Control

• Personal Monitoring with MonitorMix allows individual wireless AUX mixing from up to 10 iPhone, iPad or iPod touch devices simultaneously. Each performer can have convenient control over the AUX buses assigned to them, without having to deal with complex settings or parameters.

• Touch & Turn Knob offers extra control precision for a fine EQ or other adjustment, plus four User Defined Knobs below the panel that can be assigned to control compressor threshold, EQ gain, or other parameters you need fast, direct access to while mixing. The knobs always affect the currently selected channel.

• Expansion capabilities of up to two stage boxes, as needed - TF-RACK can easily add up to three Tio1608-D I/O racks with NY64-D card using the console's QUICK CONFIG mode.
