YAMAHA TF RACK

Thanks to in-depth collaboration with Dan Dugan Sound Design, renowned Dan Dugan automatic microphone mixing with its advanced algorithms is built into the TF series consoles. The processor is available for input channel 1-8, you can accsess the setting screen easily from their channel strips for automatically optimized microphone gain distribution. Gain control is smooth and natural, as though experienced human operators were doing the mix. The system also effectively reduces feedback and comb filter issues. For speech applications, especially non-scripted situations, this allows the operator to concentrate on details other than fader operation for consistently high-quality mixes.

The compact TF-RACK is perfect for applications that require space-saving sound systems such as conferences or corporate events. Since TF-RACK is a rack-mountable mixer it will provide you with a simple and discreet sound system.

The eight Dugan channels of the TF-RACK provide the smarter, more elegant solution for speech applications. When the Dugan automixer is used, it automatically raises the gain of the active microphone inputs while lowering the gain of the inactive microphone inputs to create a consistent overall mix level. This eliminates the need for complex fader operation during presentations or panel discussions. Advanced Dugan automatic mixing algorithms also maintain a safe feedback margin, ensuring high quality, high clarity sound at all times.

Separate software applications that allow wireless mixing, personal monitor mixing or offline setup of digital live mixing consoles have become fairly common. The TF series goes a step further with three dedicated apps: TF Editor, TF StageMix and MonitorMix. These apps feature user interfaces which seamlessly extend the console on any device.

The TF Editor application for Windows and Mac computers provides a complete interface for offline editing and setup of TF consoles, with scene and preset management capabilities plus convenient keyboard entry of channel names. In addition to being able to set up the console offline at any convenient location and time, the TF Editor can be used online at the same time as the TF StageMix and MonitorMix applications. A Windows 8 PC with a multi-touch screen can use the same gestures as on the console itself. And if using Wi-Fi, a PC can function as a convenient remote-mixing device. Up to three devices running TF Editor or StageMix can be connected at the same time.

TF StageMix is an iPad application that provides wireless control of TF series consoles, allowing remote mixing from audience seating, in front of floor monitors, or any other listening position. It can also be used at the console as an extension of the console’s own interface. The TF StageMix interface is designed for similar operation and flow to the console display, making it easier than ever to refine the mix from any location.

The MonitorMix application for the TF Series allows individual wireless AUX mixing from up to 10 iPhone, iPad or iPod touch devices simultaneously. Each performer can have convenient control over the AUX buses assigned to them, without having to deal with complex settings or parameters. They can also create personal Group settings for even easier adjustment: all levels on just one fader, for example. Since up to three devices running TF Editor or StageMix and up to 10 devices running MonitorMix can be connected at the same time, even large bands can have the personal control they need, reducing demands on the sound engineer.

No specialized programming skills are required. An intuitive interface makes it easy to create faders for volume control and switches for channel on/off, for example, and position photographs or other graphic elements on the tablet screen as required to create original control panels that are ideally suited to individual applications and users. In addition, ProVisionaire Touch and ProVisionaire Control can also control MTX and MRX series processors, XMV series power amplifiers, R series(ADDA), and it is easy to combine those parameters onto the one screen.

When you need extra precision for a fine EQ or other adjustment, the physical Touch & Turn knob is always available right beside the touch panel. There are also four User Defined Knobs below the panel that can be assigned to control compressor threshold, EQ gain, or other parameters you need fast, direct access to while mixing. The knobs always affect the currently selected channel.

TF-RACK is equipped with 16 microphone/ line inputs, 16 line outputs (8 XLR and 8 TRS), and USB connectivity for PC multi-channel Playback/Recording and so on. A TF-RACK can cover so many applications.

The Tio1608-D is a Dante-equipped I/O rack with 16 microphone/ line inputs and 8 line outputs. Tio racks feature the same recallable D-PRE™ microphone preamplifiers as the TF series delivering extraordinarily natural and musical sound. In combination with TF series consoles, Tio racks can be connected using up to three units with a fast and easy setup. * Optional NY64-D Card is required. TF-RACK can create a versatile stage box system with up to 64 inputs and 40 outputs in conjunction with the Tio1608-D I/O and NY64-D, all mounted within a compact rack.
