TF5 32-Ch Digital Mixer with Tio1608-D Dante Stage Box and Expansion Card

This package features the Yamaha TF5, and offers it with two of the most logical related products, the Tio1608-D Dante-equipped I/O rack, and the Yamaha Dante Expansion card.

The Yamaha TF series Digital mixing consoles represent years of continuous development. Yamaha is among the world's most experienced designers of digital consoles, but for the TF project, engineers started from scratch, rethinking the way people approach mixing sound, and careful not to get caught up in any conventions or presupposed best practices without a thorough reaxamination. The team that created this console has more than 70 years of aggregated experience mixing shows of all genres, so they have firsthand experience with the chief concerns musicians have with regard to mixing. The Yamaha TF3 is the granddaddy of the three available versions of the TF mixer series, ideal for scenarios that require large numbers of simultaneous inputs. It may be the perfect thing for your stage or studio.

Based around an intuitive multi-touch screen and a simple touch and turn knob, getting around and making adjustments is simple and fast. Simple swipe, pinch and pull gestures and double touches invite the user to make adjustments, and the always available Touch and Turn control makes precise adjustments a breeze. The TF5 boasts the following primary features:

33 motor faders (32 channels + 1 master)
48 input mixing channels (40 mono + 2 stereo + 2 return)
20 AUX (8 mono + 6 stereo) + stereo + sub buses
32 analog XLR/TRS combo mic/line inputs + 2 analog RCA pin stereo line analog inputs
16 analog XLR outputs
34 x 34 record/playback channels via USB 2.0 + 2 x 2 via a USB storage device
1 expansion slot for NV64-D audio interface card

NY64-D
The NY64-D is an I/O expansion card for TF series consoles that allows transmission and reception of up to 128 channels (64 in/64 out) of uncompressed 48 kHz 24 bit digital audio data via a Dante™ audio network. Used in conjunction with the Tio1608-D I/O, it is possible to create a versatile stage box system with up to 48 inputs and 24 outputs.

Tio1608-D
The Tio1608-D is a Dante-equipped I/O rack with 16 microphone/ line inputs and 8 line outputs. Tio racks feature the same recallable D-PRE™ preamplifiers as the TF series, delivering extraordinarily natural and musical sound. In combination with TF series consoles, Tio racks can be connected using up to three units with a fast and easy setup.

Users wishing to expand on the TF's already extensive input/output capability can easily add up to 3 units with the optional NY64-D expansion card and Tio1608-D I/O racks. Daisy-chaining the main console offstage and Tio1608-D I/O racks on stage using lightweight CAT5e Ethernet cables allows low-latency, high-quality sound transmission without the time-consuming transport and setup of bulky analog snakes.
