Introduction to the 02R

02R Getting Started Guide

02R

From the company that pioneered digital mixing consoles and leads the

industry with its acclaimed DSP technology comes the 02R Digital mixing

Console—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 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 02R is a fully dynamic automated mixing console—all referenced to

timecode. Its onboard automix system memorizes not just the faders, but a

myriad of parameters. Switch individual channels on or off, adjust the EQ

or the pan position, change the auxiliary send, and recall any scene

memory—automatically. There are 96 internal scene memories which can

store every digital mix parameter in a “snapshot” providing instant recall

and reset.

The 02R features 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 or 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.
