The O2R96 is an undeniable standard in audio production, providing advanced capabilities for audio production, broadcast, and live applications. It makes available the most advanced technology for commercial sound and music production to a broad range of engineers and facilities. Included are standards such as 96kHz audio, internal 32-bit processing, surround monitoring, studio manager software, and powerful DAW control. This update, which adds over 50 features and significant overall performance upgrades, has been released in response to the requests of its loyal users.

It includes full 96kHz resolution across all 56 channels, powerful control of all features through the studio manager software, visual feedback for all changes and controls through the LCD screen, customizable I/O, customizable assignment controls, and powerful global controls. A single channel offers a fader, rotary encoder, a channel ON/OFF key, a SOLO key, an AUTO key to turn mix automation on or off for that channel, and a SEL key which assigns the channel as the console's Selected Channel. Detailed control for the currently selected channel-dynamics, EQ, buss assignment, panning, and surround positioning-is available via the SELECTED CHANNEL controls. Also the channel faders and encoders will function according to the settings in the FADER MODE and ENCODER MODE sections.

Without question the BEST!

WE just installed this board at our new church and it is fantastic. We have set the library up for 40 of the songs we perform during praise and worship for the year and have automated it to the point that anyone can change the library and use the board if our regular sound person is not there. The ability to have so many options has made our church the church to come to for christian bands and concerts. Without any reservation, this board is the best there is. You cant get any better than this!

Picks up hair metal great. Unfortunately it couldn't mic our vocalist Donald of the Dead's vocals well. Other than that, a great value!

We helped with a show at an Event Center in town. We used the board and I loved it! Lots of capabilities. We are probably going to get one for our Pro Tools Studio.

02R96 rocks!

The Yamaha 02R96 is the best piece of gear I ever bought. It has WAY more going on thatn the front panle lets on. I have 56 inputs, and DAW control all in less space than my old 32 channel analog mixer. It's so quiet in my room now that I hear the computer fan! Stone quiet! It's a real pleasure to work on. with all the memory options, you can instantly recall your settings. And V2.0 adds new computer control software. I can't wait to buy the new plug-in effects. REV-X like the high end S-REV 1 should be awesome, and it'll free up CPU power in the DAW!
