Yamaha TF3 Digital Mixing Console, 40 + 2 Stereo and 2 Return, 20 AUX Buses Plus Stereo Plus Sub 8 DCA Groups

Yamaha's TF3 digital consoles designed with input from leading engineers ensure the most efficient and intuitive operation is achieved. The TF series combines Yamaha's know how with new input from the field and the latest touch screen technology to deliver an evolved experience in console operation. This digital console offers smooth setup and operation, practical pre-sets and scenes, refined design and software applications that integrate seamlessly with the entire system.

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 optimised for touch panel control, users will find it easier than ever to achieve the ideal mix. Recallable D-PRE™ preamplifiers support sound quality that will satisfy the most discerning professional 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. Experience the intuitive control and creative freedom that a truly evolved digital console can provide.

Separate software applications that allow wireless mixing, personal monitor mixing or offline setup of digital live mixing consoles have become fairly common. The TF series goes a step further with three dedicated apps, TF Editor, TF StageMix and MonitorMix, which feature user interfaces that seamlessly extend the console’s own on any device. The TF Editor application for Windows and Macs provides a complete interface for offline editing and setup of TF consoles, with scene and pre-set management capabilities plus convenient keyboard entry of channel names. In addition to being able to set up the console offline at any convenient location and time, the TF Editor can be used online at the same time as the TF StageMix and MonitorMix applications. A Windows 8 PC with a multi touch screen can use the same gestures as on the console itself. And if using Wi Fi, a PC can function as a convenient remote mixing device. Up to three devices running TF Editor or StageMix can be connected at the same time.

Faithful reproduction of the on stage sound is the foundation, then creativity can take over. Yamaha’s unswerving approach to live sound reinforcement is alive and well in the TF series. The input stage of any console has a notable effect on its sonic character. The TF consoles feature acclaimed D-PRE™ microphone preamplifiers that not only deliver outstanding quality, but are recallable as well. Circuitry and individual components have been reassessed and redesigned where necessary to achieve extraordinarily pure, natural sound. That solid sonic foundation is backed up by an updated selection of high performance processors and effects. Input and output channel processors such as EQ, gates, and compressors are complemented by eight processors that provide a broad spectrum of creative capabilities.
