In developing the TF series Yamaha engineers built from their existing base of acclaimed high-end mixer interfaces, adding intuitive control in an interface optimized for the type of touch panel control that has become a familiar feature in a wide range of applications. Effective gain, compressor, and EQ setup require a considerable degree of skill and experience. Even veteran engineers need to spend time on these important basic settings. In addition to their intuitive user interfaces, the Yamaha TF3 Digital Mixer includes several features that contribute to a faster, smoother setup of these essential parameters.
Practical Presets and Scenes
The familiar Yamaha scene memory that stores mix settings for instant recall when needed is included as always. There’s also a range of channel presets that have been created in cooperation with leading microphone manufacturers and eminent sound engineers, providing starting points that take you a long way toward achieving great sound.
Design for Superior Visibility and Quick Operation
Separate software applications that allow wireless mixing, personal monitor mixing, or offline setup of digital live mixing consoles have become fairly common. The TF3 goes a step further with three dedicated apps - TF Editor, TF StageMix, and MonitorMix - that feature user interfaces that seamlessly extend the console’s own on any device.
A Natural Sound Foundation with Extra Creative Freedom
Faithful reproduction of the on-stage sound is the foundation, and then creativity can take over. Yamaha’s unswerving approach to live sound reinforcement is alive and well in the TF series.
A Versatile Live Recording and Playback Solution for Any Application
TF consoles come supplied with Steinberg’s Nuendo Live Multitrack live recording software, providing an easy way to simultaneously record up to 34 tracks to a computer connected to the console via USB 2.0. MP3 and WAV files can be played back from USB storage devices, and audio from an iPhone or iPad can be played back via a direct digital connection.
