All user reviews of 4/5 for the Yamaha 01V96 V2

Characteristics are known, 32 channels including 12 XLR base.

8 to 4 effects per channel compressor gate 4 parametric channel

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple and intuitive. Functions are easily accessible.

This is my first digital 10 years of age it holds up, the quality is really good!

SOUNDS

Converters are good, the equations are good too. I have rarely sound I want on the battery, but this is due to micro kit used. On tracks guitars sound is clean.

OVERALL OPINION

10 years later she is there. ADA mandatory extension 8000 for more 2XLR output.

Very good extension for the price.

She took a shot of old compared to modern consoles, but I still appreciate its characteristics. IF I change it to the more modern with EtherSound!

This console is RK1 Rack with brackets, it is equipped with a multitude of connections for almost all types of exchanges (analog, SPDIF, ADAT, MIDI, etc ...)

UTILIZATION

The ergonomics are well thought out, and the basic functions are naturally available. However, a small grip is required to access all the functions so there are many possibilities. Manual, always designed by Yamaha, allows easy access.

SOUNDS

Quality preamps and converters are still very respectable for a console was conceived in 2004, as well as the effects and compressors, which can be upgraded (via an official CD) to the VCM release.

OVERALL OPINION

Use for 2 years confirms the choice of this console for live, thanks to its power routing, embedded and of course the small size effects. In other benefits, we see the return control circuits away (thank you iDevices!) Modular expansion cards, and especially this solid stability, a concept that tends to get lost in the moment.

Layer Management is a bit frustrating at first, but it is because we have to find a fault.

Today the situation is changing in light of new offers in its category, this certainly aging console will remain a leader in its field, and is still not a risky investment.

Yes it is an option via Rackable square RK1

All its functions explain the pdf doc to download yamaha pro website

UTILIZATION

Yes, but a little on the subtle patch in and out Yes
the manual is very clear and French

SOUNDS

Much more neutral than a 01V or 02 / R

Yes if you use the gains and other dynamic processing correctly

All effects are effective remains to know the quality and want to get
We always compare what is comparable

OVERALL OPINION

Several years

Yes a lot

Very compact happening everywhere

I would do this choice

Product widely documented for its features, I do not dwell on it me:
- Digital console patch Internal I / O
* Analog Inputs: 12 XLR mic / line jack jack + 4 + 1 st rca / Outputs: 2 XLR + 2cue hand jack
4 omni jack (all symmetrical except obviously RCA)
* Digital: 1 RCA IO SP / dif Opt + 1 + 1 BNC Adat IO IO Clock + 2 expansion slot (8 channels in / out)
- 23 mono channels + 4 st / 8 in / 8/2 bus hand with dynamics / para 4-band EQ per channel or bus
- 16 assignable faders motorized hand + 1 + 2 assignable encoders on 4 st
- Lot of discrete switches (salt / solo / mute, ...) and / or multi-access
- Sync 44.1kHz <-> 96kHz, automation, snapshots, various settings

UTILIZATION

Like all consoles to control surface, the 01V requires a learning period for having his hand, but it is relatively intuitive for basic functions. The main page of the manual to know is the internal block!
I use it for "small" operations live on the one hand, but also and especially as routing matrix / monitoring in the studio with PT HD2.
Live, you can take advantage of his faculties memory to record a full show or a festival different situations. But be careful for the use of EQs must ensure that manipulates good band with a lot of only three buttons instead of 12! When the dynamics is all done with a single selector knob & ... this is real bad points or very bad in some tense situations.
In the studio or live the high point is the flexibility of assignments in / out as almost any in / out physical can be routed to any in / out, hence the importance of knowing and understanding the synoptic .
This is even more true with the soft pc / mac, despite its rough-hewn side to control for a larger screen.

SOUNDS

You can not expect great preamps or a superb conversion in this price range, also in the studio and live I first used the digital IO (adat extension with other preamps) for sensitive taken directly routing to PTHD. It is suitable to capture the "secondary" tracks.
The mixer and internal digital processing based on a fixed-point processing, which makes the proper treatment of certain EQ config and / or bus too difficult charge. Added to preamps just limits, we can get a sound a little brouillasse, losing a lot of definition. So, going for the "small" live music, theater, convention, although enriched by the effects rested and flexibility of the bike (eg face + 6 + 2 FX returns) but incompatible with extensive studio work without other processing (in my protools HD + TC6000).
That is why I use the 01V in monitoring progress in the studio shots and single router in the mix. Then the opportunity to work 88.2/96 kHz allows to keep the pith and substance!

OVERALL OPINION

Robust (live / studio track for 8 years), and holding out his promises for the price often as Yamaha products, it does not make it rain or shine. Would it be a car, we take her for a Golf GTD, a little gruff, not very sexy, but good small family multitasking!
Hold up, but not good competition to consider with this non-fireball.
The picture shows the integration of the 01V96 governed in my mobile studio.

40 channels (32 mono + 4 stereo)
12 PREAM microphone + 4 line inputs
ADAT
Clock 44.1 / 48/88, 2/96kHz
8 Auxiliary switchable pre / post

UTILIZATION

The screen is a bit small but very readable.
The functions are generally well accessible for the digital
Some advanced features are still quite complex to get

The big +: the 8 configurable keys at leisure on a lot of function. Very handy, I use it regularly to manage mute groups or when groups fader.
I also have a button "panic" that allows me to transfer any live returns if Larcen is formidable, and a micro-cut cutting ca rising Larcen giving a little time to find the culprit : D

SOUNDS

Enough for my liking to use as I live.

The equalos are soft enough, you really go hard to see change.
Having a gate, compressor and delay for each of the 32 tracks is really the big plus of the console

OVERALL OPINION

I work with 01v 2 years

I love the Yamaha consoles, the presonus live in vain to be more oriented live, they have much less attracted to me in the way they operate.

The Yamaha with its almost infinite possibilities, the possibility of using it as a DAW and MIDI controller, the possibility of the Chainer to double the number of tracks, the possible addition of an additional card to register by ADAT or the PC ....

RK1 rackmount kit with the optional ...

See data sheet for the rest.

UTILIZATION

Once the logic gained any console Yamaha Yam is very practical and intuitive ...
it really is a swiss army knife for sondier much like the SM57 with you always worry out ...


No matter what you do, even in a fair rgy it is doing its function Ducking particular thanks ...

SOUNDS

All is well this cot for use Concert, festoche, congresses, seminars ...

OVERALL OPINION

Years ...

Not bad, Tascam, then there is no equivalence too ... with as much versatility.

The weight (in flight) but hey you no pain, no ...


Yes almost the same version but 01V96I is bringing us a great sound card 12 input and 12 outputs in addition to top of the multi track recording and the live zicos leave with their bands ...

Console robust, thoughtful design with all the usual types of connectors in this area (more than one I / O ADAT original). Parametric EQ, effects of all kinds (compression, gate, reverb ,...).

UTILIZATION

Relatively simple configuration for this type of material. But since it's really a very versatile console can not complain about some shortcomings in this area.
The manual is very clear and full of examples.

SOUNDS

Everything that relates to signal processing is done correctly: no deterioration knew her (which is the least for this type of product). Some have complained about the cold a little typical of Yamaha ... For my part, I never felt that.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it with my band for ten years in the studio and on stage. As I said above, it is a very versatile console with which to deal with a lot of situation. Expansion cards are available separately in a highly scalable tools. I worked before with the Mackie analog and I can say I do not regret myself facing this stuff. In this price range, it is practically on the best available.

Rackmount console.
I / O RCA, XLR + Jack and I / O RCA SP / DIF + I / O BNC wordclock + I / O ADAT 8 tracks + 1 slot for my card + 1-port USB Studio Menager!
Sampling up to 24-bit 96KHz.
40 input channels, 8 bus, 8 in (1 to 4 + 4 outputs return effects), stereo headset + monitor + + RCA Record.
Equa of 36 fully configurable entries, buses, and stereo output.
Automation and supported knob motor.
Internal sync, worlclock, SP / DIF, ADAT or slot.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple if it has already been working on the Yamaha, if it takes a bit of termp to grasp all the subtleties.
Comprehensive manual.
The common functions are easily accessible and the use of Studio Menager is more consistent visually map an analog console.

SOUNDS

The A / D converters and D / A are transparent and do their job properly.
The effects and filters are quite effective and dynamics is fairly well respected.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 2007.
I have worked with many consoles and digital or analog I chose it for its price / size / performance (the DM1000 I was not available at the time).
2 with the provisions in addition will not be luxury and equation 31 bands on each output either ... But I dream!
The price / quality ratio is good especially in relation to new digital production
With experience, the 01V96 is a very good choice.

Used in theater on several receptions, it's a nice little console (despite its small 12 amp mic pre + 4entrées lines).
4 + 8 stereo effect to + 8 bus
Pros:
The size and weight
Page assignable remote (even if not new)
The 4 built-in effects (only available in 48 kHz) + the + comp + gate Eq per track
Minimum:
Without an additional port, only 4 analog outputs (in addition to the master L + R) are available.

At a time when I post this notice, this console is available on occasion at an affordable price.

UTILIZATION

In the simplest
Beoin not a manual

SOUNDS

Converters using very
proper filter and Fx

OVERALL OPINION

Used for some of welcomes me into a theater
I use it without being possessed.
Her older sister 02R96 V2 seems much better (but the price is really not the same), take notice ...
