All user reviews for the Yamaha Promix 01

Super digital console when I bought it, it was basically the first digital console available (less than 20,000 Francs). She has fulfilled her contract without problem.
(I always have the throne and in my home studio to enter the beef tps tps with friends).

It embodies the least of all digital: it's hard to age at the inputs (A / D), difficult to repair because this type of components is easier because of the rapid advance of digital technologies.

In comparison, I still have my A PM1800 analog which sounds like the first day perfectly without any trouble.
I put him still a 9/10 because everything else is a bit interesting and be recycled as a small mixer (with still functional inputs) or as a control surface tools because it is completely noon.
In addition, little touch used small prizes which may allow you to build config cheap

UTILIZATION

The manual is a bit thick (but hey, there are lots of function so ....), but it is very intuitive, so easy to use.

Functions are less accessible than on an analog console, but for small concerts without sound engineer, it does so without problem.

SOUNDS

Not bad at all, (the presence of a little breath after 20 years)
(For its price range, knowing that it is the pioneer in digital)
Very effective cool effects, and corrections (real parametric)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 20 years, I trimballée on lots of small concerts, piano bar, in répétiton ... and held the road (I'm a bit careful)

Most:
it is complete, compact, ideal for sound to small places (rehearsal studio, piano bar ...)

Cons: do not hold over time (compared to analogue equipment, and after 20 years still XD).

It is rack mountable, for the rest of the specs, refer to the manual available on the web:
allstarsystems.net/manuals/PROMIX01E1.pdf

UTILIZATION

Use simple, clear manual for an engineer!
The common functions are easily accessible, but the encoder has a tendency "merdouiller" over time.

SOUNDS

Well, we are in the first series of numerical tables, it's not Byzantine, but it's not Beirut either ...
The concertos are quite correct, for against the effects are ... metal, cold, blah ...

OVERALL OPINION

It was used three years for all rehearsals and gigs, the main strength is the recordings of the effects, fader positions, etc..
If the violinist had not done anything in the reconnecting (like the output of the power amp in hand ... out of the table) it would still be a good job ... RIP
Purchased at the price, very good value for money, now I think we will move more towards a Presonus StudioLive 16.4.2

8 XLR jack inputs + 8 + 1 + 1 STREO between 2 tr in between, the two dparts for internal FX and 2 to external effects. Spdif output, a hand out and monitor out and uen STREO (RCA) for recording.

EQ on each channel and two effects available simultaneously.
Three dynamics processors available simultaneously

UTILIZATION

Easy to use. He only read once the user manual for how to use, store or recall a fact

SOUNDS

The sound is a bit cold
The effects are passable, but for most routes drafts effect is assigned to Prior in cubase
I use to dynamically plug in in cubase

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 9 months that I use and I'm happy. In the era of the purchase I had no money to take me a 01V. I have long hsit a console between digital and analog (always the dilema), but over time I recall the apprci allowing Whereas saving time.
This is a good quality price that suits me perfectly.
If I had more money I would have a price 01V but I would do the same choice

Rackmount Console 16 votes, among the first out at Yamaha Digital Products.
8 XLR mic, line 8 Jack, a stereo in, Track 1 IN, two analog outputs Stereo and SPDIF.
assignable effects.
Spar volume control monitors / headphones for output control (practice!)
No output adat ....... hlas.

UTILIZATION

The config is simple, for those who can work with menus.
The manual is in English, but accessible.
Weakness of the table, buttons suffer over time, a shot is prvoir rgulier bomb. It is better to know how to manipulate the table gently.

SOUNDS

I do not use converters, analog I prfre out and enjoy those of my sound card.
The sound is good, actually a little cold, and attention to the level between the promix do not like the saturation!

OVERALL OPINION

I use a few days slmnt.
Automation is one more reminder of the empty configs Different.
It is not bulky trs, which is an advantage.
Coupled with some voices for devices stro is quite convenient.
This is a table that lends me, I will not comment then on the choice again, or the ratio quality / price, especially since this product is now d pass and even more in the catalog. Then by chance? What is certain is that less really be and wanting to ruin the numrique for cheap, I do not think this is a good choice stratgique, knowing that this table can have multi-output, seems to me a rdhibitoire for use in the studio. Unless there is some absolment never more than two tracks simultaneously.

Does everything said in other reviews

UTILIZATION

If we can know a digital consoles is the ba-BA

SOUNDS

Its sound rather cold, but the Yamaha, you do not remake!

OVERALL OPINION

I purchase for use in live and rpeter is great, it has a good dynamic effect racks has 2 inside, 2 proc dynamic between + 16 and stereo inputs, two for the feedback, what you ask for?
I also used to manage tapping home studio and return headphone, and MIDI with cubase in control surface for mixing with the motorized fader it is simply more than any efficase the Fenton, peavey and other Fatboys! !
if you find one occasion less than 600 euros do not reflect more than a minute!
she will always have a little place somewhere!

OVERALL OPINION

Proper notice is dstin those who wish to use the surface as Promix CONTRL. So I have no opinion on the sound .. etc I've never used the audio on this table.

I put a 10 this console because of the price, max of 500 OCCAZ is a bte! 19-way stop automated ^ gallery with the mouse! Tries with Cubase SX, no problem,
Despite the appearance fragile faders, I still have no problem!

In short if you want to automate a table (and if you do not need I / O audio) please do not hesitate, it is a wonder!

I do not m'tend on CHARACTERISTICS, they are on-dj numres in commantaires passs.

UTILIZATION

Intuitive, simpler than 01V, 02R or 03D, but in the same spirit, using midi, however, requires the manual, as it very clear to some that we know what we are because of course !

SOUNDS

The converters are very fragile but cost only 55Frs juxtaposs for two channels, one hour of work mticuleuse welding, and it is left as 40. Beware of electrical closures magnto or via external effect, the explosion of CAN is radical, and when sending a signal in between too lev.
The bomb interviews contact PAD switches can be made every year, it takes 30 minutes, and it is necessary to avoid the unwanted switching.
Last few worries, knobs motoriss get tired over time, it's normal, it mcanique, nothing really mchant.

OVERALL OPINION

Machine extra, it is extremely convincing in automation via MIDI. It has only three assignable dynamics processors, but hey, most cases can be satisfied.
In any case a very small table numrique complte given the price at which it can aqurir now. 3000Frs for a console numrique offering such performance is INESPRE

The same huh ...

UTILIZATION

Simple, clear. But it really lacks the buttons (also quite fragile). Dtail size, it is heavy (normal but hey!) The screen is enough I think.

SOUNDS

Well, I found better quality than all the little tables at less than 450 euros analog found today ...

OVERALL OPINION

Nice little table for home use stuio! the rest must say it's a bit of stuff has-been now, it says I saw him in the studio (and scne) Terranova and LFO which is far from being the case the next of the same brand. Honestly, the sound has the feeling of cold that the DGIG O1R Premire version!

Bought for 600 euros OCCAZ, the Neuse epoque prs 3000, Personal, what I think, a marvel!
Top of the converter, I used in my studio for two years, bought a site enchre 600 euros, I regret it, automation is prcise and top, all of the rglade rverbes compression to faders that move alone is automatic with precision, I still serves for my prod, whose mix of a radio jingles Creations clbre and prods for Hip Hop, the big sound that good with ProTool or cubase and your rack, I am delighted, MIDI sync input output numrique I had the opportunity to try and compared with the dernire 01V, my choice is silent, despite the 96KH I stay on my promix Manir and all it's a cd in 44KH right? All is well the clock and caller hop, killed

UTILIZATION

Hyper intuitive configuration word, compressors, multi egalisuers and effects are cool, the fader of the track turns into effect starting from a simple function key, I have not had to read the manual, fantme food is good with my trs neumann, fit, the quality is to go, good rglage and the mix is ​​not inferior to prod that I hear on sky or fun (sometimes must recognize shit hihihi)

SOUNDS

Converters not transparant but I like a just, it's hot, round and shiny in the bass just enough in the treble, dynamics as anything is, the only thing I can say is that APRS he could refine the comma on the regulation of time to attack the compression level thoriated but otherwise the ear rings there is always a good compromise.
The effects are ralistes rverb Yamaha quality and numerous assignable multi effects at the same time on multiple tracks

OVERALL OPINION

2 years of use, I like the ergonomics and sound, I like less weight, when I took him sometimes NOISE lives of my band that I did not fly but finally I quibble is heavy, a tank!
I tried the plupard models of digital and even the latest issue, I do not dmore I also prfre the promix which I think is like the sm58 or mpc standart price of a quality
I'll remake that choice and definitely buy a trs soon before it is done rare.

16 tracks 16bits/44khz first console with great service automation multifx effect from 2 of 90 3 spx compressors for toalité console digital sorites no entry 'grr' cascading digital can not .. no sub group ...

UTILIZATION

it is simple or even simplistic it is not a console 16 channel mixer, because no subgroup except to do as I like sending an effect serves me back scene ...

SOUNDS

transparency too .... lack of dynamic fuzzy but it is not blowing round pure comparison AW4416 is not even Converto it jumps to the ears .... in short it should be the standard 90'sa nnées design and manufacturing

OVERALL OPINION

I have no good bp bp Converto a wheel that dropped and no button incredmentation and decrement in 2009 .. grrr repaired € 80 for the digital output was then released in 2011 .... for a console that was purchased in 96 .... so I consider it robust
Etienne de Crecy at the Superdiscount has mixed it and I remember an interview in late wave keyboard Sutdio home or dad and dad Casius sinclair Dominique Blanc Franquart therefore considered as the simple teaching and had made mixes quickly that it gave better on the big stuff ... the talent is not the same stuff and type it avecune sp 103 win the Le Mans 24 Hours .... all that to say it better There's dirt cheap but it does a good job ....

Rackable: Yes
Connections: 8 + 8 XLR microphone inputs jacks 6.3 mm
Send 2 buses
3-band parametric EQ on each input.
J'automatise this table via Midi and if I remember correctly, absolutely all functions can be controlled via Midi.

UTILIZATION

Well done manual (2 volumes).
Simple job, nothing to say.

SOUNDS

Yamaha Promix 01 is one of the first numerical tables with motorized faders. Question converters, there is certainly much better today, so on this point, saying that given his age and considering the price it cost at the time, it is "correct" and nothing more.

Someone said "warm and round"? I would say just the opposite: a rather cold / stiff (I think) and a bit "metallic". Nothing scary, no doubt, it's not really a casserole, but I'm curious to compare it with good coffee tables analog or digital latest ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 8 or 9 years in home studio and yes, I used other tables before that Promix (but never made a serious issue as a test).

At the time, I paid € 1000 (used) and I really have not been stolen (from the time I use it).

Goodies: complete (compared to my needs), fully automated, not too large, easy to use.
Cons: not super tough (it's Yamaha), converters old, feeble belts motorized faders. I use also the more motorized faders for a long time (no more).

Given the weaknesses of this Promix, I would do certainly not this choice today. In any case, not for home-recording studio.

OVERALL OPINION

Hello, Sorry but I'm using it more for a while and the two links below will fill you technically in all an excellent machine for the time, big sound, can be a bit fragile, takes a lot of maintenance at the motor fader (to make the purchase) and the navigation wheel (microswitches or contacts or other shit ...), various contacts of PB also in buttons (to discourage smoking studios) , quite heavy 13kg
The EQ settings is excellent, and the management in general is super clear and requires little manual once the tree stored
The effects are a bit "has been", but if you turn it into old school or vintage you do X4, compressors is worse
Finally when I bought 7000Fr at the time it was worth nine 14000/15000balles
and then it was at the top

Faders benefit from automation with recording scenes

UTILIZATION

I've never used another digital console so I do not know if it is complicated to use, but I think it's not too headlock. the manual is provided is enough school responds to all uses.
Everything has been thought to be quite functional and accessible in a few key presses. The pad is clear, divided into colors.

SOUNDS

I do not have enough competence to speak of the converters.
Effects: It is Yamaha algorithms, so it's not bad!
Effects and filters are quite effective.

The overall color is quite good with a predominance for senior medium, you need to know correct, but it is an analogue desk and it will remain cold throughout.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 8 years now. This was my first model and I enjoy the automatic recording of presets. After the sound is not that of a good analog desk, not surprisingly good. This is the practical side wins. Currently, as these tables have a lot TOURS seen their age, we must focus on several problems of wear before you buy a console this period:
- The faders do they work without any problem (the first case of wear)?
- The keys do they work by simply pressing?
- In what environment the unit he served (association, private, pro box, how many people have to use the machine during its period of operation)? All these parameters will tell a lot about the state of wear of the beast.

For me, the machine is too big for my needs. In the future, I would take a smaller model, like 8 inputs / outputs.

Enough said. Of course I would have preferred 16 or 16 XLR jacks, more preferably 2, Yamaha has seen it otherwise by the Fifties / fifties. Mine is the vertical rack which poses a problem with the display whose inclination is not optimal, since it is a rack 48 "It must be placed at the top. Similarly with automation age n is more optimal in this position ;-(.

The analog input stages encaisent very well and I think too much, I prefer to grill a op amp has a 2 euro CAN 50.

Weakness converter fragile. The internal

UTILIZATION

OS v1.15 on mine is excellent, it goes quickly and not need too much to bother. I believe this table is effective thanks to the OS. The manual is not too bad either pole, it is necessary to start and then forget it. I like the remote administration within Cubase and others. It is pleasant and it spends too much time. This table is almost ready to use no need to spend hours on it. Question

SOUNDS

sound, the dynamics are very good, not great either, the converters are very good, too fragile, electronically speaking, their replacement every 5 years can return to his home. Yes I agree that this table is not an example of neutrality, color yamaha is felt and I think this is the most was that the input stage of the conversion. It is Yamaha and I like very much!

The effects, they have the merit to exist, the dynamics processor is very good, the effects in themselves are sufficient, reverb bof!

OVERALL OPINION

Is my second table 01. I sold the first and finally I buy another 6 months later. What I like is the ease of use.
Do not hesitate to take this table is really handy

For the rest a complete overhaul is necessary to do not necessarily expensive option, the converter has a new remetre B & B - $ 15 PCM1760U has room for two lanes, is good on the profession that etan ca not ask me too a problem. The knobs that are weak mechanical solution is normal and not because it is a special series for the table and a good netyage AC goes. Chager portard on the other hand is a very very boring to the design of hyper rigid cradle stand (must be very Zen!).

For those who do not know wears an ADC, which is normal and inevitable, it is normal to change them to regain momentum, the first symptoms are often grisillements.

That, for me it is still a reference and not overpriced and above that can be even tinker.

The price / quality ratio is excellent.
