Introduction to the 02R

Digital Recording Console 02R Getting Started Guide

Digital Recording Console 02R

From the company that pioneered digital mixing consoles and leads the

industry with its acclaimed DSP technology comes the Digital Recording

Console 02R – the most advanced digital mixing console in the world. All

of YAMAHA’s experience and innovation has been applied to the 02R, to

create a perfect mixer for use with the current generation of modular digital

multitrack tape and disk recorders.

With the YAMAHA Digital Recording Console 02R you can record and mix

directly to your modular digital multitrack recorder without ever leaving

the sonic purity of the digital domain. It is a 40 input channel mixer, each

with full dynamic processing and 4-band parametric EQ, plus two stereo

internal effects returns. It comes with 24 analog inputs, featuring 20-bit

64-times oversampling analog-to-digital conversion. By adding one of the

optional digital I/O cards, you can also have 8 channels of direct digital

input. Depending on conﬁguration, up to four cards can be inserted into

the 02R. The cards allow you to select from any of the currently used

formats (ADAT®, TDIF™, YAMAHA, or AES/EBU). The optional cards

allow you to route up to 16 outputs directly to your modular digital

multitrack recorder. In addition, you can insert a Digital Cascade card into

one of the I/O slots, allowing you to connect multiple 02Rs together to

create a larger digital mixing system.

The Digital Recording Console 02R is a fully dynamic automated mixing

console – all referenced to time code. Its onboard automation system

memorizes not just the faders, but a myriad of parameters. Switch

individual channels on or off, adjust the equalization or the pan position,

change the auxiliary send, and recall any scene memory – automatically.

There are 64 internal scene memories which can store every digital mix

parameter in a “snapshot” providing instant recall and reset.

The 02R contains YAMAHA’s latest generation 32-bit proprietary audio

DSP. All of your mix data is processed internally with 32-bit precision.

Using the power of the latest generation effects processor chip, it also has a

startling range of effects available: shimmering reverbs, clean, precise

delays, ﬂanging and chorus, and other effects are built into this mixer. It

also features dynamics processors on all the inputs, allowing you to

compress, limit, or gate the signals, giving you unparalleled sonic quality

and ﬂexibility. The 02R samples audio at 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz using its

internal clock, and can sample at any frequency from 28 kHz to 53 kHz

when an external word clock is applied.
