Yamaha Unveils TF-RACK Digital Mixer

Yamaha Expands TF Series Digital Mixer Lineup with Rack-Mount Format for Installs and Portable Venues

Yamaha introduces TF-RACK (price TBA), a powerful, compact rack-mount version of the company’s acclaimed TF Series digital mixing consoles. TF-RACK offers all of the features found in TF Series desktop models released in 2015, and is intended for smaller or more portable venues, particularly when a proper mix position may not be available.

Yamaha introduced the first digital mixer in 1987 and has since redefined digital mixing with a comprehensive lineup that delivers world-renowned sonic quality, operability, functionality and reliability.

Aimed at new users and experienced professionals looking to get working faster than ever, the TF Series brings time-saving performance capabilities, such as fast, accurate gain setup, single step compression and EQ, and microphone specific presets to even the most modest sound reinforcement applications.

TF-RACK expands on these promises with a compact mixer that fits in a 3U rackspace, providing the perfect solution for smaller live music venues, a working regional band, a portable house of worship, or in a meeting hall. The rack-mount edition carries the same core engine—Steinberg Nuendo Live recording software, apps for mixing and expansion capabilities—as each of the other models.

In addition, the TF Series rack-mount mixer will ship with firmware Version 3 that adds full fader views on its touchscreen, the ability to add an administrator password, and many other enhancements. Yamaha has also partnered with Ultimate Ears, a premier supplier of in-ear monitoring products to create presets for the TF Series to provide stunning sonic clarity for the performer.

This firmware is also available from the Yamaha Pro Audio Website so that existing TF console customers can enjoy these new enhancements.

Like its desktop counterparts, TF-RACK is compatible with TF StageMix for wireless Wi-Fi remote mixing via iPad, and the MonitorMixapp for aux send mixing via most smartphones or tablet PCs. Since it is not Wi-Fi dependent, TF-RACK sets a new standard for reliability in mixing, allowing it to maintain its full functionality even if the network goes offline. Users can simply continue mixing on the touchscreen or opt to use it as their primary control surface as they wish.

TF-RACK also offers an intuitive set of controls for users with all levels of experience, including:

• 16+1 stereo inputs, 16 outputs

• 1-knob COMP and 1-knob EQ for fast, easy control over your sound

• GainFinder input setup for optimum gain structure

• QuickPro Presets optimized microphone, music and output presets that include popular model choices from Audio-Technica, Sennheiser, Shure and Ultimate Ears

• Instant loading single step scene recall

• Expansion capabilities of up to two stage boxes, as needed

• TouchFlow Operation for easy, efficient control combining Select Channel and Cetralogic interfaces with the touch screen functionality

• A comprehensive range of I/O connections directly on the rear panel

• An optional NY64-D Dante I/O card and Tio1608-D I/O rack

Yamaha states that it will ship the TF Series Rack-Mount Mixer in the fourth quarter of 2016.
