Chapter 1—Welcome to the 03D
Welcome to 03D
Thank you for choosing the Yamaha 03D Digital Mixing Console. Based on the highly
successful 02R Digital Recording C onsole, the new Y amaha 03D has been designed with
music production and project studios in mind, although its unique and flexible features
will also appeal to audio post and sound reinforcement and installation providers.
About this Owner’s Manual
The 03D Owner’s Man ual c ontains all the information y ou need t o use your 03D Digital Mixing Console. U se the table of contents to find general information and familiarize yourself with the organization of this manual, and use the index to search for specific
items. A glossary of 03D-related jargon is provided on page 281.
Each chapter in this manual discusses a single area of the 03D. For example, “I nput
Channels” explains all about input channels, while “Sc ene Memories” explains all about
scene memories. The contents of most chapters are ob vious from the chapt er title.
Rather than repeat some explanations several times, it ems that ar e c ommon t o many
channels, such as EQ and the dynamics pr ocessors, are explained in their own chapte rs.
Where possible, the individual sections of a chapter have been organized in order of signal flow. The “Input Channel” chapter, for example, starts with the input connectors
and works through each input channel function, finishing up at the buses.
03D Installation
Site the 03D on a stable surface, somewher e that complies with the important information at the beginning of this manual. The 03D can be rack-mounted using the optional
rack-mount kit.

Key Feature Discussion
Configuration
The 03D provides a total of 26 inputs (including 8 digital inputs), stereo output (analog
or digital), 4 bus outs, 4 aux sends, 2 internal effects sends, and 8 assignable digital outputs via a single Y GDAI (Yamaha General Digital Audio Interface) slot. Each input
channel features four-band parametric EQ and a dynamics processor . Input channels 1
to 8 feature balanced XLR and phone jack connections, with individually switched
phantom power. Inputs 1 and 2 feature analog inserts. Input delays can be used for
microphone-placement compensation, while output delays can be used for dela y-compensation in multi-speaker systems. The number of inputs can be increased by digitally
cascading two 03Ds together, sharing Bus, Aux, Stereo, and Solo buses. YGDAI digital
inputs and outputs can be configured as bus outs, aux sends, input channel dir ect outs,
or stereo outs. So although the 03D is a four -bus mixer, assigning the four buses and
four aux sends, or the channel direct outs to the YGDAI slot’s eight outputs allows
eight-track simultaneous recording.
Benefits of a Digital Mixer
You’re probably already familiar with the many benefits offered by digital audio , but
what exactly are the benefits for digital audio mixing? Well, an audio mixer has the job
of combining audio signals from various sources, at differing levels and impedances,
usually into a stereo mix. And it m ust do this without introducing any new distortions
and noise. Analog mix ers do a pretty good job, but even with the best designs, nonlinear
effects caused by circuit components are una voidable.
In the digital realm, audio mixing consists of adding and multiplying binary numbers
that represent audio signals. The DSP (Digital Signal Proc essor) c hips used for these
calculations never get their sums wrong. So once past the initial A/D c onv ersion, audio
signals are immune from signal degradation. With the 03D, noise, distortion, and
crosstalk are virtually eliminated. You’ll hear a new clarity in your mixes.
Once in the digital domain, it makes sense to keep audio data digital, as multiple
AD/DA conversions can degrade signal quality. With the optional YGDAI interface
cards, the 03D can be connect ed dir ectly t o a modular digital multitrack rec or d er,
thereby keeping audio data in the digital domain for both recor ding and mixing. The
final stereo mix can be transferred to a two-track digital recorder using the 03D’s
AES/EBU or Coaxial digital output.
Onboard digital effects and dynamics processors mean that signals remain in the digital
domain, eliminating unnecessary AD/DA conversion. Signal processing is performed
by third-generation Yamaha DSPs, as used in the Yamaha ProR3 Digital Reverberator.
03D—Owner’s Manual
03D Sonic Performance
The 03D’ s linear 20-bit 64-times o versampling A/D con v erters pr o vide a typical
dynamic range of 105 dB. The 03D can generate the industry standard sampling rates
of 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz, or synchronize to an external wordclock source from 32 kHz
–6% to 48 kHz +6%. The stereo output and monit or output featur e 20-bit 8-times
oversampling D/A con verters, while the aux sends and bus outs feature 18-bit 8-times
oversampling D/A con verters. Oversampling techniques effectively increase the internal sampling rate, so side effects caused by steep lo w-pass filters, which ar e used to filter
out sampling frequency components during D/A conversion, are virtually eliminated.
Consequently, audio signal integrity is maintained from input through to output.
Key Feature Discussion
Four-band Parametric EQ & Library
The 03D input channels, stereo input c hannel, stereo output, bus outs, aux sends, and
onboard effects returns all feature four-band fully parametric EQ, with variable gain,
frequency , Q, and b ypass. That’s 160 bands of EQ! High and low EQ bands can be used
as shelving, peaking, or HPF and LPF, respectively. See EQ on page 45 for more information.
EQ settings can be stored as programs in the EQ library, with all channel settings in a
channel library program, or with all mix settings in a mix scene. Real-time EQ adjusts
can be automated using the onboard Automix function. See Au t omix on page 175 for
more information.
The EQ library contains 40 preset programs and 40 user programs. User programs
allow you to stor e fr equently used EQ settings, and they can be titled for easy identification. The unique collection of preset EQ programs are designed for specific applications and instruments, and provide a good referenc e and starting point when making
EQ adjustments. See EQ Library on page 48 for more information.
Motorized Faders
The 03D features 60 mm motorized faders that move automatically when a mix sc ene
is recalled or an automix is played, pr o viding a clear visual indication of fader levels. A
fade time of up to 10 seconds can be set individually for each mix scene. Faders can be
grouped together in one of four fader groups for multiple fader control. See Fader
Groups on page 112 for more information. Faders of a pair of channels configured as a
stereo pair move simultaneously. See Stereo Pairs on page 114 for mor e information.
5
The ST OUT and ST IN faders always control the ster eo output and ster eo input channel levels, respectively . The EFFECT RETURN fader controls the return levels of the
two onboard effects processors. The operation of faders 1 to 16, however, depends on
the selected mixing layer. When the mixing lay er is set t o 1–16, the faders work with
input channels 1 to 16. When set to 17–24/MASTER, however, they work with input
channels 17 to 24, the aux sends, and the bus outputs. See M ixing Lay er on page 31 for
more information. As well as perform channel level adjustments, faders are used as aux
send and effects send level controls. F ader operation is set using the FADER MODE
buttons. See Fader M ode on page 13 for mor e information.
Onboard Effects Processors
The 03D features two onboard stereo m ulti-effects pr oc essors: Effect 1 and Effect 2.
These provide a wide range of quality effects, including rev erb , delay, c horus, flange,
amp simulator , and more. There ar e 34 different effects types available. The effects pr ocessors are fed by the Effect 1 and Effect 2 buses, and the processed signals are returned
through the effects return channels. Effects can be applied to input channels and the
stereo input channel.
Effects settings can be stored as programs in the effects library, which contains 64 preset
programs and 32 user programs. User pr ograms allow you to store your own effects
programs, and they can be titled for easy identification. See Effects Library on page 125
for more information. Effects settings are also stored in mix scenes.
Existing outboard gear can be patched into the 03D via the four aux sends.
03D—Owner’s Manual

Chapter 1—Welcome to the 03D
Onboard Dynamics Processors
Dynamics processors, pr o viding compr ession, ducking, gating, and e xpansion, are
available on all input channels, the stereo input channel, the stereo output, bus outs,
aux sends, and the onboard effects returns. That’ s a t otal of 36 dynamics processors!
Dynamics processors can be self triggering (i.e., the signal being processed is used as the
trigger signal), or triggered by a signal from another channel.
Dynamics settings can be stored as programs in the dynamics library, with all channel
settings in a channel library program, or with all mix settings in a mix scene. The
dynamics library contains 40 preset programs and 40 user programs. User pr ograms
allow you to stor e your o wn dynamics programs, and they can be titled for easy identification. See Dynamics Library on page 147 for more information.
Existing signal processing gear can be patched into the 03D via the analog insert connections on input channels 1 and 2.
YGDAI & Digital I/O
The 03D features a single YGDAI slot, providing eight digital inputs and eight assignable digital outputs. The 03D accepts the same single-size YGDAI cards as the 02R Digital Recording Console. These cards provide a direct, digital connection to modular
digital multitrack recorders, such as the Alesis ADAT, Tascam DA88 or DA38, and
AES/EBU and Yamaha (Y2) format equipment. See Y GD AI Cards on page 223 for more
information.
In addition, AES/EB U and C oaxial digital stereo inputs and outputs allow direct connection to digital recorders and other digital devices. Digital stereo signals can be
routed to the Stereo bus for cascade operation or to the ster eo input channel for mixing
and processing. See Digital Stereo In on page 221 for more information.
Easy-to-Learn GUI Interface
03D operation is both logical and intuitive. The large 320 x 240 dot display with fluorescent backlight uses graphical icons to represent controls, and provides a clear indication of current settings and EQ curves. A PC-compatible serial mouse can be
connected for quick navigation and parameter editing. On/off-type parameters can be
set with a simple click, and rotary controls can be dragged. The CH View page sho ws all
settings of the selected channel at a glance. See Channel V iew on page 108 for more
information.
Surround Pan
As well as normal stereo pan, the 03D featur es three surround pan modes: 2+2, 3+1,
and 3+2+1. In conjunction with the stereo out and bus outs, surround pan controls
allow you to pan channel signals in a two-dimensional space. Surround pan controls
can be used to move sounds in a circular motion, ellipsis, semicircle, or straight line.
Sounds can be moved around the two-dimensional spac e in r eal time using a mouse.
Normal stereo pan and surround pan mov ements can be automated using the A utomix
function. See Surround Pan on page 62 for more information.
03D—Owner’s Manual
Key Feature Discussion
Scene Memories
On many mixers, the only way to store mix settings is with marker pen and masking
tape. W ith the 03D, however , virtually every mix setting can be stored as a mix scene in
one of the 03D’s 50 scene memories. Mix sc enes can be recalled instantly with just one
button press, or MIDI P r ogram Change command. Mix scenes can also be recalled as
part of a dynamic automix, providing “total automation ”. If you work on several
projects at a time, you can st ore the current mix scene so when you return to that
project, you can start again right where you left off. Scene memories also make light
work of night-after-night sound checks. Simply press recall to r eturn to the pr evious
night’s mix settings. For theater work, scene memories allow accurate and repeatable
sound changes between scenes.
Automix
The 03D’ s A utomix function pr ovides dynamic mix automation refer enced to an ext ernal timecode source. The ext e rnal timecode can be either MTC (MIDI Timecode) or
MIDI Clock. A ut omix can be used to recor d and playback fader mov es, channel mutes,
EQ changes, pan, and more. In addition, mix scene, EQ, c hannel, effects, and dynamics
library recalls can be included in an automix, combining snapshot and dynamic automixing for “total automation ”. Events r ec or ded in an aut o mix can be edit ed off-line.
Fader moves can be edited “on the fly”, or off-line using the Trim function. The Undo
function can be used to revert to the previous automix after making changes that you
do not want to keep.
7
MIDI
In addition to standard MIDI connectors, the 03D features a T O HOST connector . This
allows the 03D to be connected dir ectly t o a personal c omput er without a MIDI interface. By c onnecting other MIDI gear t o the 03D’s standar d MIDI c o nnect ors, the 03D
can be used as MIDI interface for an entire MIDI system.
All mix parameters that can be stored in a mix scene can be controlled using MIDI S ystem Exclusive messages. MIDI Program Change messages can be used to recall mix
scenes. U p t o 114 03D parameters can be assigned to MIDI C ontr ol Change messages
for 03D control from a remote device. Scene memory , library, and automix data can be
dumped to and from other MIDI devices, such as a MIDI data filer for backup and
archive, a contr olling computer, or another 03D. See MIDI on page 231 for more infor mation.
MMC (MIDI Machine Control) commands can be assigned to the 03D ’s four USER
DEFINE buttons for remote machine control (st op, play, rewind, forward, and rec ord).
Using the MIDI R emot e function, other MIDI gear can be controlled using the 03D’s
faders, [ON] buttons, and PARAMETER wheel. The 03D comes with MIDI Remot e
pages for the following: Yamaha Programmable Mix e r 01, 02R, and 03D digital consoles; Yamaha ProR3 and RE V500 digital rev e rbs; GM and XG compatible tone generators; and Pro Tools. Custom pages can be configured for use with other MIDI gear.

and [SEL] buttons. When set to 1–16, these controls work with input channels 1 to 16.
When set to 17–24/MASTER, however , they work with input channels 17 to 24, the aux
sends, and the bus outputs. As well as the [MIXING LAYER] button, the function of the
faders is determined by the fader mode setting. The Mixing Lay e r setting is sho wn on
the display. See Display on page 24 for mor e information.
B SEL buttons
The [SEL] buttons are used to select channels for parameter editing. The name of the
selected channel is shown on the display . See Display on page 24 for mor e information.
The function of each [SEL] button depends on the selected Mixing Layer. See SEL Buttons on page 31 for more information. W ith aut omix, [SEL] butt ons ar e used to select

C INPUTs 1–8
Input channels 1 to 8 feature balanced XLR-3-31-type and balanced phone jack connectors, both with a nominal input range of –60 dB to +10 dB. Individually switchable
+48 V phantom powering is supplied to the XLR c onnect or. The phone jack has priority over the XLR-type connector, so when a phone plug is inserted, the XLR-type connector is disconnected. The phone jack inputs can also be used with unbalanced phone
plugs. With their high sensitivity and 26 dB P AD switc hes, these inputs can handle a
wide range of signals, from c ondenser microphones to “hot ” line levels.
