Features

High-resolution Microphone
Preamplifiers (D-PRE)
Discrete microphone preamps featuring a high-
performance inverted Darlington circuit
configuration achieve low distortion and noise while
delivering sound with eminently musical balance
and character.
Supports a Variety of Inputs
Switchable phantom power is provided for
condenser microphones, electric guitars and
basses can be directly connected via a HI-Z (high
impedance) input, and a PAD is provided for input
matching with high-level signals from electronic
instruments. Optical input connectors enable direct
digital input in ADAT or S/PDIF format from a variety
of digital audio devices, while a BNC-connector for
word clock input and output allows precise
synchronization with other digital equipment.
Powerful DSP Mixer (dspMixFx)
A DSP mixer that can mix up to 24 input channels to
four stereo outputs is built in. Two of those stereo
mixes can be independently assigned to separate
headphone outputs. It is also possible to directly
route a stereo input to any specified stereo output. A
number of DSP effects that can be applied to input
signals are also provided, and since it is a hardware
mix with there is no monitoring latency.
DSP Effect: Sweet Spot Morphing
Channel Strip
The Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip ("Channel
Strip" for short) is a multi-effect that combines
compression and EQ. Advanced sound engineering
know-how is condensed into a number of presets
that can simply be recalled as required for
professional results. Up to eight channel strips can
be used at a time, and it can be assigned either to
the monitor sound only, or to both the monitor and
recorded sound.
DSP Effect: REV-X Reverb
REV-X is a digital reverb platform developed by
Yamaha for pro audio applications. One REV-X
effect is included in this unit. Input signals can be
sent to the REV-X effect, and the REV-X effect is
applied only to the monitor outputs.
DSP Effect: Guitar Amp Classics
Guitar Amp Classics are guitar amp effects that
make extensive use of advanced Yamaha modeling
technology. One Guitar Amp Classics effect can be
used at a time, and it can be assigned either to the
monitor sound only, or to both the monitor and
recorded sound.
The maximum number of Channel Strip and Guitar
Amp Classics iterations which can be used
simultaneously has restrictions. Refer to the
"Limitations on the use of effects" (page 34).
DSP Effect VST Plug-ins Included
VST3 Plug-ins (page 31) of the Channel Strip, REV-X
and Guitar Amp Classics effects are included for
use with Cubase series or similar VST-compatible
DAW software.
