02R96 1110 02R96
HARDWARE HARDWARE
The Yamaha 02R96 has been designed on the strength of past successes plus invaluable feedback from leading
engineers and artists worldwide. It is the latest step in an ongoing evolution that makes more production power,
creative potential, and operational efficiency available than ever before.
Refined Interface
Fader & Encoder Mode
The FADER MODE keys allow the 02R96 faders to be
instantaneously switched between fader and auxiliary
level control, while the ENCODER MODE keys assign
the console's rotary encoders for pan, send level, and
other assignable control functions. This flexible
system lets you set up the controls for the most
efficient operation according to the signal flow and
mixing task at hand.
Version2 additionally includes a fader touch-sense
function that allows automix parameter punch in/out
operations to be carried with unprecedented speed
and efficiency.
Display Control
The DISPLAY ACCESS keys determine which type of
data will be shown on the LCD panel — a total of 12
selectable categories — in addition to the DISPLAY
keys provided for each of the 02R96 control sections.
This approach minimizes the need to scroll through
on-screen lists when you need access to a particular
type of data. Below the display access keys are a
group of EFFECTS/PLUG-IN keys that can be used to
instantly bring the parameters for any of the four
simultaneously-assignable effects to the display.
Editing and selection of on-screen parameters is easy,
too, via encoders located immediately below the
display.
Selected Channel Section
The SELECTED CHANNEL controls are the hands-on
channel controls for the currently selected input and
output channel, with analog-style buttons and knobs
for direct, easy access to every single parameter.
Need to adjust the high-mid frequency a little? Just
grab the HIGH-MID encoder and turn. And while
we’re on the subject of EQ, note that individual
numeric displays are provided for each of the four EQ
bands, displaying precise frequency and dB values
immediately below the encoders so you don’t have to
refer to the LCD display. All of the sub-sections within
the SELECTED CHANNEL section also feature
DISPLAY keys that instantly bring the corresponding
parameters up on the LCD display.
Monitor Section
The 02R96 MONITOR section features separate,
multiple source selectors for the studio and control
room sends, solo capability, separate source selectors
and level control for surround monitoring, a DIMMER
switch, and a TALKBACK section complete with slate
capability. The 02R96 also offers advanced surround
monitoring capability.
Scene Memory
Here’s where you can store all console parameters as
a new scene, or instantly recall previously-stored
scenes. A numeric display right next to the STORE,
RECALL, and UP/DOWN keys shows the current
scene number – 01 through 99. Additional scene
memories can be managed via a computer running
the supplied Studio Manager software.
User Defined Keys
These 16 keys can be assigned to control any
functions you choose. You could, for example,
individually mute surround monitor speakers, arm
tracks on an MTR, etc. When the Pro Tools
®
or
Nuendo
®
Remote Layer mode is selected, the USED
DEFINED KEYS are automatically assigned to
dedicated control functions by default.
Machine Control
The 02R96 has been provided with a comprehensive
range of facilities for external machine control.
MMC protocol is supported, and control can be
switched between MTR and master target machines.
The MACHINE CONTROL section features basic
transport control in the familiar layout – REW, FF,
STOP, PLAY, and REC – for fast, efficient transport
operation, plus locator keys for easy cue access.
Channel Strips
The 24 channel strips on the 02R96 panel provide
access to the most essential operations for the
corresponding channels. Depending on the currently
selected layer, the channel strips will control channels
1 through 24, channels 25 through 48, or channels 49
through 56 as well as the eight AUX sends and eight
busses (the “Master Layer”). Also the channel faders
and encoders will function according to the settings
in the FADER MODE and ENCODER MODE sections.
In addition to a fader and rotary encoder, each
channel strip includes a channel ON/OFF key, a SOLO
key, and AUTO key to turn mix automation on or off
for that channel, and a SEL key which assigns the
channel as the console’s “Selected Channel”.
Detailed control for the currently selected channel –
dynamics, EQ, buss assignment, panning and surround
positioning, – is available via the SELECTED
CHANNEL controls.
Master & Layer Section
In addition to the master stereo fader with its own
ON, SEL and AUTO keys, the master section includes
keys for input channel layer selection (1-24, 25-48, or
MASTER) as well as a selector for remote control.
Data Entry
Large cursor, INC/DEC, and enter keys are
complemented by a data entry dial that lets you spin
in values quickly and easily. The data entry dial also
doubles as a shuttle/scrub dial for recorder or DAW
control.
Analog Input Section
Inputs 1 through 16 feature high-performance head
amplifiers for microphone or line input that deliver a
pristine signal to the console’s precision 24-bit/96-
kHz A/D converters. 48-volt phantom power for
condenser microphones is individually switchable for
each input, trim controls and pad switches facilitate
optimum level matching with the source, and
switchable inserts make it easy switch external
analog processing gear into or out of the pre-A/D
signal path while maintaining optimum signal quality
in wired installations. Inputs 17 through 24 accept
line-level signals singly (each input has an
independent trim control) or in pairs for stereo input.
Meter Bridge
The MB02R96 Peak Meter Bridge is a complete level-
monitoring station with 12 12-segment level meters
that can be used to display pre-EQ, pre-fader, or post-
fader input channel signal levels. An additional eight
meters display levels on the console’s eight busses.
A separate 32-segment stereo meter is provided for
the main stereo program.
Rear Panel
A quick look at the rear panel should tell you that the
02R96 is designed for serious production. Balanced
XLR and TRS connectors are provided for inputs 1
through 16, in addition to insert jacks (insert switches
are provided on the console). Line-input channels 17
through 24 feature balanced TRS inputs. Then there
are balanced analog studio, stereo, control room, and
monitor outputs as well as eight balanced “omni”
outputs. Analog 2-track inputs are provided in
addition to digital 2-track inputs and outputs
featuring both AES/EBU and coaxial connectors.
On-board sample rate conversion allows CD players
and other digital sources connected to the digital
input to be monitored or routed to an input channel
without having to be synchronized to the system
clock. A wide range of synchronization and control
options are available via word clock inputs and
outputs, SMPTE and MTC time code inputs, MIDI
connectors, and both serial and USB “TO HOST”
connectors. Cascade in and output connectors allow
two 02R96 consoles to be cascaded to provide up to
112 channels. Even the cooling fan is specially
designed for ultra-quiet operation so that machine
noise doesn’t interfere with critical monitoring or
recording operations.
