Introduction to the 02R
 
Digital Recording Console 02R Getting Started Guide
 
Digital Recording Console 02R
 
From the company that pioneered digital mixing consoles and leads the 
industry with its acclaimed DSP technology comes the Digital Recording 
Console 02R – the most advanced digital mixing console in the world. All 
of YAMAHA’s experience and innovation has been applied to the 02R, to 
create a perfect mixer for use with the current generation of modular digital 
multitrack tape and disk recorders.
 
Inputs and Outputs – I/O Cards and Digital Cascade
 
With the YAMAHA Digital Recording Console 02R you can record and mix 
directly to your modular digital multitrack recorder without ever leaving 
the sonic purity of the digital domain. It is a 40 input channel mixer, each 
with full dynamic processing and 4-band parametric EQ, plus two stereo 
internal effects returns. It comes with 24 analog inputs, featuring 20-bit 
64-times oversampling analog-to-digital conversion. By adding one of the 
optional digital I/O cards, you can also have 8 channels of direct digital 
input. Depending on configuration, up to four cards can be inserted into 
the 02R. The cards allow you to select from any of the currently used 
formats (ADAT®, TDIF™, YAMAHA, or AES/EBU). The optional cards 
allow you to route up to 16 outputs directly to your modular digital 
multitrack recorder. In addition, you can insert a Digital Cascade card into 
one of the I/O slots, allowing you to connect multiple 02Rs together to 
create a larger digital mixing system.
 
Dynamic Automation with Total and Instant Recall
 
The Digital Recording Console 02R is a fully dynamic automated mixing 
console – all referenced to time code. Its onboard automation system 
memorizes not just the faders, but a myriad of parameters. Switch 
individual channels on or off, adjust the equalization or the pan position, 
change the auxiliary send, and recall any scene memory – automatically. 
There are 64 internal scene memories which can store every digital mix 
parameter in a “snapshot” providing instant recall and reset.
 
Crystal Clarity and Unsurpassed Audio Quality
 
The 02R contains YAMAHA’s latest generation 32-bit proprietary audio 
DSP. All of your mix data is processed internally with 32-bit precision. 
Using the power of the latest generation effects processor chip, it also has a 
startling range of effects available: shimmering reverbs, clean, precise 
delays, flanging and chorus, and other effects are built into this mixer. It 
also features dynamics processors on all the inputs, allowing you to 
compress, limit, or gate the signals, giving you unparalleled sonic quality 
and flexibility. The 02R samples audio at 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz using its 
internal clock, and can sample at any frequency from 28 kHz to 53 kHz 
when an external word clock is applied.
