Published on 05/22/12 at 11:36The Yamaha 01V is a digital mixing console that can do a lot for you right at your finger tips. Even though its no longer produced and has been replaced with the 01V96i version from Yamaha. There are still some in the used sections at music stores which could be a big break for you because the price will be way cheaper then what it was when it first came out. With 24 channel stereo and 24 bit digital recording you cant go wrong with the o1V. If its not about the money then sure go ahead and get the newer model Yamaha o1V96i and have the newest version.
UTILIZATION
The EQ in the 01v is very good and has worked great for me. You really have full control of the overall sound with the EQ on it. You can really get the best out of your music on the Yamaha o1V just from the EQ options alone. All of the eq seems to be distortion free as well.
SOUNDS
Sounds are great, effects are strong and don’t get distorted either. Love using this unit for a live setting. It provides me with all the tools that I need no matter what situation I am in. Im thankful that I got this at a good price and actually found this model. But the newer one Is so much more expensive that this one is.
OVERALL OPINION
Overall, great mixing console all I can really say is beware because after using for a while it seems to get really warm and I don’t think it has any type of built in fan at least from what I can tell so I keep a fan on it if its going to be on for a long period of time. Cant afford for anything to get fried. So you will have to make sure it doesn’t over heat on you, it may never over heat but that’s a risk im not willing to take with a piece of gear that I use often.
