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.
Inputs and Outputs – I/O Cards and Digital Cascade
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.
Dynamic Automix with Total and Instant Recall
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.
Crystal Clarity and Unsurpassed Audio Quality
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.
