Yamaha O2R Digital Recording Console 24 Channel Mixer with Meter Bridge & 3 Cards

Here we have a a very good condition Yamaha 02R Recording Console! This console has been fully tested and is functioning very well for its age. The mixer is fully functional accept the motor on the channel 10 fader is lagging. Also, the bracket connection of the left side bracket to the meter bridge is a little bent. The unit comes with 3 expansion cards which are the Yamaga CD8-AD-S AD Analogue Expansion Card, Yamaha Digital I/O Card CD8-TDII (Tascam) & Yamaha Digital I/O Card CD8-AT. The unit has a little bit of old tape residue on it as well as a few scuffs and scratches. Please see all photos for detailed aesthetic condition.

Here is the writeup from the folks at Yamaha:

To simply call the Yamaha 02R a mixing console is rather like calling a Pentium PC a pocket calculator with a screen! A more accurate description of Yamaha's new baby might be along the lines of a complete, automated digital recording studio bar the tape machines and microphones! Unless you woke up yesterday and suddenly decided that setting up a home recording studio might be a nice hobby, you can hardly have failed to encounter some of the advance information about the 02R, but for the benefit of those lottery winners who've just returned from their world cruise, I'll run through the basic features before diving into finer detail.

Feature‑Packed

Though there are family similarities between Yamaha's Promix 01 digital mixer and the new 02R, they are really quite different creatures aimed at different applications. Based on Yamaha's own custom digital processing chips, the 02R is a 40 input, 8‑bus digital in‑line recording console with dynamic processing (compression and/or expansion) on every channel. 4‑band parametric EQ is available on all channels as well as on the master stereo output, and there are eight aux sends. These auxiliaries are all individually switchable pre/post fader, with auxes 7 and 8 dedicated to the two built‑in digital multi‑effects processors; the remaining six auxes feed conventional analogue sends. As supplied, the console has 24 analogue inputs (16 mono and four stereo), with the first eight channels equipped with phantom powered mic amps and analogue insert points. All 16 channels can accept microphone or mic levels, though channels 9 to 16 have jack‑only inputs and no phantom powering.

Four rear panel slots allow optional plug‑in cards to be fitted. These provide access to the remaining 16 inputs and to make full use of the console for multitrack recording, at least one additional card is necessary. For digital multitrack users, cards are available to provide blocks of eight channels of digital multitrack I/O in Yamaha, ADAT or Tascam DA88 format, and for those working with other types of digital machine, AES/EBU interface cards are also on the options list. Apart from keeping everything in the digital domain, the digital multitrack interface simplifies studio wiring enormously; in the case of the Alesis ADAT XT I employed for this review, for instance, only two optical connectors were required.

Cards are available to provide additional blocks of eight analogue I/O, for analogue machine users, and a Digital Cascade card enables two 02Rs to be linked together and run as a single system. It should be noted that both the AES/EBU digital I/O card and the 8‑channel analogue I/O card take up two slots each, so it is conceivable that you might run out of slots. This being the case, you should consider your future expansion requirements carefully before committing yourself to the 02R route.

Multiples of the same type of card may be used so that you can interface up to 32 tracks of digital multitrack or 16 tracks of analogue. Other optional extras include a peak meter bridge, wooden side cheeks, and additional memory for storing mix data.
