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.

A MIXING LAYER button
The [MIXING LAYER] button determines the functions of the faders, [ON] buttons,
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
channels for recording. See A utomix on page 175 for more information. The [SEL] buttons are also used to select channels for the fader and mute gr oups. See G roups & P airs
on page 111 for more information.

About the User Interface
The 03D user interface is both straightforward and easy to use. A part from the GAIN
controls, [PAD] switches, scene memory buttons, and a few other buttons, there are
very few dedicated controls. The faders, [ON] buttons, and [SEL] buttons are multifunction controls whose operation depends on the Mixing Layer and fader mode settings. Mixing functions and configuration settings are organized int o display pages,
with up to five related pages being grouped together . For example, digital input and cascade pages are grouped together under DIO (digital I/O). P arameter selection and editing is carried out using the [CURSOR] buttons, [ENTER] button, and PARAMETER
wheel, which is detented for pr ecise and accurate editing. An optional mouse can be
connected for quick navigation around the display and parameter setting.
Display
The large 320 x 240 dot display with fluorescent backlight provides clear indication of
mix settings and operating status. As well as sho wing parameter values numerically,
faders and rotary controls are represented graphically, so you can actually see pan and
fader positions. The display also sho ws EQ curves and provides signal level meters.
The following illustration highlights the different areas of the display. These ar eas ar e

Display Elements
This section explains the various elements that appear on display pages.
Switches
Switches appear as box es with a shadowed outline (i.e., a thick er outline on the right side and bottom of the box).
Simple on/off-type switches are highlighted when they are turned
on. In this example, the [1] and [ST] switches are on.
The labels inside some switches change when they turned on or off,
as these Normal and Reverse phase switches show.
For option-type switches, only one option can be
chosen. In this example, the wordclock source is
set to INT 48K.
To operate a switch, use the cursor buttons to select it and the [ENTER] button to turn
it on or off. With a mouse, position the mouse cursor over the switch and click.
Rotary Controls
Parameters with a variable range appear as rotary controls, as this
example from the EQ page shows. To adjust a rotary control, use
the cursor buttons to select the control and the PARAMETER
wheel to adjust the value. To adjust a rotary control using a mouse,
position the mouse cursor over the control, press and hold the left
mouse button, and then drag the mouse. Parameters with a wide
range, such as effects delay times, can be adjusted m uch quicke r by
holding down the right mouse button and dragging. Rotary controls can also be adjusted in single-step increments by clicking once
with a mouse. Clicking with the left mouse button decreases a
value; clicking with the right button increases it.
Faders
Some pages, such as the CH View page, display faders graphically.
Usually, faders are adjusted using the real faders. Bu t they can also
be adjusted using the PARAMETER wheel or a mouse. To adjust a
fader using the PARAMETER wheel, use the cursor buttons to
select the fader and the PARAMETER wheel to adjust it. To adjust

Parameter Boxes
CURSOR
Parameters that appear in parameter bo xes (i.e., dotted-line box es) can be set using the PARAMETER
wheel or a mouse. U se the cursor buttons to select the
parameter box and the P ARAMETER wheel to adjust.
If you are using a mouse, position the mouse cursor
over the parameter box, press and hold the left mouse
button, and then drag the mouse. Parameter boxes
can also be adjusted in single-step increments by
clicking once with a mouse. Clicking with the left
mouse button scrolls down one step; clicking with the
right button scrolls up one step.
Cursor Buttons
The cursor buttons are used to move the cursor ar ound
the display pages, selecting parameters and options. The
cursor appears as a flashing box, making it easy t o see
which parameter or option is currently selected. H olding
down a cursor button moves the cursor continuously in
the respective direction.

PARAMETER Wheel
The PARAMETER wheel is used to adjust parameter values,
scroll through scene memory and library programs, and position the cursor when titling scene memories, effects programs,
and so on. Its detent ed action giv es it a positi ve feel, allowing
quick and accurate parameter editing. Turning it clockwise
increases parameter values; turning it counterclockwise
decreases them. Turning it fast allows rapid parameter editing.
ENTER Button
The [ENTER] button is used to activate parameter settings chosen using
the [CURSOR] buttons, and set on/off-type parameters, such as EQ
ON/OFF . It’ s also used to confirm settings and enter characters when titling
scene memories, effects programs, and so on. On some pages, such as the
EQ page, the [ENTER] button is used solely to turn the EQ on and off.

Mouse
An optional mouse can be connected to the 03D for quick navigation
around the display and parameter setting. Simple on/off-type parameters can then be set with one click of the mouse, and rotary controls
can be dragged. The 03D should work with any PC-compatible serial
mouse (a mouse that supports both serial and PS-2 operation may not
work correctly with the 03D). The mouse should be co nnected to the
MOUSE connector on the 03D’s rear panel. The mouse speed can be
set to one of four speeds on the Prefer . page of the Utility function. See
MOUSE SPEED on page 213 for more information.
Most mouse operations can be performed using either the left or right
mouse button. Some parameters that have a wide range, such as
effects delay times, can be adjusted muc h quicker by holding down the
right mouse button and dragging. In this case, the left mouse button
works like a fine adjust control, while the right mouse button works as
a coarse adjust control. P arameters can also be adjusted in single-step
increments by clicking once with the mouse. Clicking with the left
mouse button decreases a value; clicking with the right button
increases it.
Display pages within the currently selected group can be selected simply by clicking on
page-title tabs, as shown below.

(+48V)
Input channels 1 to 8 feature switchable +48 V phantom powering for use
with condenser-type microphones. Phantom pow ering is supplied to the
balanced XLR-3-31-type connector, and can be switched individually for
each channel. Phantom po w er should be turned on only when a c ondenser-type microphone is connected.
Pad (input channels 1–8)
Input channels 1 to 8 feature 26 dB pad switches. I nput pads att en uat e the
input signal by 26 dB, allowing the input preamp t o w ork with high-level
26dB
signals. You may need t o use a pad with “hot” signals from bass or snare
drum microphones, or “hot” line-level signals. PAD switch settings are not
stored in scene memories or channel programs, and cannot be c ontr olled
using automix.
Gain
GAIN controls adjust the gain of the input preamps. They are used to optimize the
input signal level for the best signal-to-noise performance, and should be set in conjunction with the level meters. Ideally, the GAIN control should be set so that the signal
level is relatively high, and it’ s okay for it to reach PEAK oc casionally . If PEAK is reached
often, how eve r, back off the GAIN control a little, otherwise, signal distortion may
occur . The GAIN control should be set with care. If it’s set too lo w, the signal-to-noise
performance will suffer. If it’s set too high, unpleasant signal clipping and distortion
may occur.
The GAIN controls on input channels 1 to 8 are designed for use with
microphone signals, and hav e an input sensiti vity of –16 dB to –60 dB.
Used in conjunction with the 26 dB PAD switches, however, these chan-
GAIN
–60–16
nels can also be used with line-level signals and “hot” microphone sig-
+10 –34
nals. With the pad switch on, the input sensiti vity is +10 to –34 dB.
The GAIN controls on input channels 9 to 16 and the stereo input (ST
IN) are designed for use with line-level signals, and have a gain range of
+10 –20
+10
GAIN
–10 dB to 20 dB.
GAIN control settings are not stored in sc ene memories or channel programs, and cannot be controlled using automix. GAIN c o ntr ols ar e, however, det ent ed for ac curate

Metering
Signal levels can be metered on the Meter pages. See Metering on page 79 for more
information.
Insert (input channels 1 & 2)
OUT IN
INSERT
Input channels 1 and 2 feature post-gain, pr e-A/D-con version insert points
via TRS phone jacks. These allow you to pat ch in your favorite external signal processors for exclusi ve use with input channels 1 and 2. Typically, compressors, limiters, and noise gates are connected to this type of connection.
The insert jacks are wired: sleeve–ground, ring–return, tip–send. A wiring
diagram for an insert cable is provided on page 17.
03D—Owner’s Manual
38 Chapter 4—Input Channels
Attenuator
After A/D conversion, input signals can be attenuated using the Attenuation function.
Signals can be attenuated from 0 dB to –96 dB in 1 dB steps. For digital inputs 17 to 24,
the Attenuation function comes after de-emphasis. Attenuation is set on the EQ page.
1. Press the [EQ LOW] button to locate the EQ page shown below.
2. Use the [SEL] and [MIXING LAYER] buttons to select a channel. See Mixing Layer on page 31 for more information.
3. Use the cursor button to select the ATT. control and the PARAMETER
wheel to adjust it.
If you are using a mouse, position the mouse cursor ov er the ATT. control, pr ess and
hold the left mouse button, and then drag the mouse.
The Atten uation function can be used t o c ompensat e for lev el incr eases caused b y EQ
boosting or dynamics processing. Inst ead of using a GAIN control to reduc e a boosted
signal, it’ s bett er to use the A ttenuation function. Although levels can be reduced using
the GAIN controls, this also r educ es the lev el of the signal being fed to the A/D converter , which is not desired. The Attenuation function c o mes after the A/D converter,
so A/D conversion performance is not affected.
When channels are co nfigur ed as a st er eo pair using the Pair function (Stereo Pairs on
page 114), the attenuators for each channel work t ogether , and parameter adjustments
can be made with either channel selected. You cannot set different parameters for the
odd and even channels.
03D—Owner’s Manual
Phase 39
Phase
The Phase function reverses the phase of an input signal by 180 degrees. The phase can
be set for input channels 1 to 24 and the left and right channels of stereo input channel.
Phase reversal can be used to compensate for inc orr ectly wired balanced cables and
microphones. W hen a snar e drum is miked t op and bottom, the channel connected to
the bottom microphone can be phase reversed.
1. Use the [DELAY/∅] button to locate the Phase page shown below.
2. Use the [SEL] and [MIXING LAYER] buttons to select a channel. See Mixing Layer on page 31 for more information.
3. Use the [ENTER] button to set the phase of the selected channel.
Y ou can also use the cursor butt on to select the phase switches. If you are using a mouse,
simply click the phase switches. Phase switches can also be selected using the [SEL] buttons.

40 Chapter 4—Input Channels
Channel Delay
The Delay function can be used to compensate for micr ophone plac ement, or simply
as a delay effect. Three types of delay are available: Dela y, Slap, and Ec ho. Delay can be
applied to input channels 1 to 24 and the stereo input channel.
When channels are co nfigur ed as a st er eo pair using the Pair function (Stereo Pairs on
page 114), the channel delays of the two channels work together , and parameter adjustments can be made with either channel selected. Y ou cannot set different parameters for
the odd and even channels.
1. Use the [DELAY/∅] button to locate the CH Delay page shown below.
2. Use the [SEL] and [MIXING LAYER] buttons to select a channel. See Mixing Layer on page 31 for more information.
3. Use the cursor buttons to select the delay parameters and the [ENTER]
button and PARAMETER wheel to set them.
If you are using a mouse, simply click the switches and drag the rotary controls.
ON/OFF—This switch is used to turn on and off the delay. W hen the cursor is located
within the P ARAMETER window , the [ENTER] button can be used to turn on and off
the delay without having to select the ON/OFF switch.

Determines how much of the delayed signal is fed
back into the delay. 0 is no feedback. +99 is maximum feedback. Negative values are the same
except the feedback signal is inverted.
03D—Owner’s Manual
When the type of delay is changed from Delay to either Slap or Echo, the parameters
are set as follows: Delay = 172 ms, Mix = 50%, Feedback = 18%. When the type is
changed from Slap or Echo to Delay, the parameters are set as follows: Dela y = 0 ms,

See Solo, Monitors & Meters on page 71 for mor e information.
Input Channel Stereo Pairs
Odd and even input channels from 1 to 24 can be paired for ster eo operation. This
makes it easy to work with stereo input signals, because you only need to adjust one
input channel to control both the left and right channels of the stereo signal. Only adjacent odd and even input channels can be paired (i.e., 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, not 2/3 or 4/5). W ith
24 input channels, up to 12 ster eo input pairs ar e possible. Input channel stereo pairs
are configured on the Pair page. See Stereo Pairs on page 114 for more information.
When two input channels are pair ed, the following parameters are linked: channel
delay, EQ, att enuat ors, dynamics processors, [ON] buttons, solo, channel faders,
pre/post settings for the aux sends and effects sends, aux and effects send faders, and
routing switches. Pan operation depends on the selected pan mode. See Pan Mode on
page 60 for more information.

About 03D EQ
03D EQ is four-band fully parametric, with variable gain, frequency, Q, and ON/OFF
parameters. EQ is available on all input channels, the stereo input channel, the stereo
output, bus outputs, aux sends, and the onboar d effects returns. See the Block Diagram
on page 21 for the exact location of each EQ section. Initially, each EQ section is configured as a conv entional four-band EQ, with shelving high and low and peaking
lo-mid and hi-mid. Ho wever, the low band can be configured for shelving, peaking, or
HPF (High-Pass Filter) operation, while the hi band can be c o nfigur ed for shel ving,
peaking, or LPF (Low-P ass Filt er) operation.
When channels are co nfigur ed as a st er eo pair using the Pair function (Stereo P airs on
page 114), the EQ sections, including att en uat ors, of the two channels work together,
and parameter adjustments can be made with either channel selected. You cannot set
different parameters for the odd and even channels.
EQ settings can be stored as programs in the EQ library. The EQ library contains 40
preset programs and 40 user programs. See EQ Library on page 48 for more information. EQ settings are also stored in scene memories (page 164) and the channel library
(page 104).
EQ is controlled from the EQ page shown below.
The top half of the EQ page shows the EQ curve for the selected channel. The bottom
half contains the EQ controls.

EQ Library
EQ settings can be stored as programs in the EQ library. The EQ library contains 40
preset programs (1–40) and 40 user programs (41–80). U ser programs allow you to
store frequently used EQ settings, and they can be titled for easy identification. The EQ
library can also be used to transfer settings from one EQ to another. For example, the
stereo out EQ settings could be stored as a library program and then recalled to an aux
send EQ. 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 page 52 for a complete list of the preset EQ programs.
The EQ library is controlled from the Library page shown below. P r ess the [EQ L OW]

Selecting a Pan Mode
In addition to stereo pan, the 03D features three surround pan modes. Pan modes are
set on the Surround page.
1. Use the [PAN/ROUTING] button to locate the Surround page shown
below.
2. Use the cursor buttons to select a pan mode.
3. Press the [ENTER] button to activate the selected pan mode.
If you are using a mouse, simply click a Pan mode switch.
When a surround pan mode is selected, the B us t o ST page title tab is r eplac ed b y the
Surr. 1–16 and Surr . 17–24 surround pan page title tabs, as shown below . The B us to ST
page is available only when stereo pan mode is selected.
Stereo pan mode is explained in Stereo Pan, Balance & Routing on page 59.
The surround pan modes are explained in Surround Pan on page 62.
03D—Owner’s Manual
Stereo Pan, Balance & Routing 59
Stereo Pan, Balance & Routing
Input channel, ster eo input channel, and effects return signals can be routed t o buses 1
to 4 and the Stereo bus. I nput channel signals can be panned. St ereo input channel and
effects return signals can be balanced and panned. This pan can be used to adjust the
width of stereo signals. Pan, balanc e, and routing settings are made on the Pan/Route
pages.
1. Use the [PAN/ROUTING] button to locate the pages shown below.
The following page contains the pan and routing parameters for input channels 1 to 16.
The following page contains the pan and routing parameters for input channels 17 to
24, the stereo input channel, and effects returns.
2. Use the [SEL] and [MIXING LAYER] buttons to select a channel. See Mixing Layer on page 31 for more information.
3. Use the cursor buttons to select parameters and the [ENTER] button and
PARAMETER wheel to set them.
If you are using a mouse, simply click the bus routing switches. For pan and balance,
position the mouse cursor over a pan control, press and hold the left mouse button, and
then drag the mouse.
Pan & Balance
Input channels 1 to 24 use a single pan control to pan signals between the
left and right stereo buses, and odd and even buses.
The stereo input channel and effects returns hav e two pan contr ols: one for
the left signal and one for the right. These pan controls can be used to adjust
the width of stereo signals.
With the left control set at L16 and the right contr ol set at R16, as shown,
the width of a stereo signal is 100%.
03D—Owner’s Manual
60 Chapter 6—Pan, Routing & Surround Pan
With both controls set at CENTER, as sho wn, the width of a stereo signal is
reduced to zero, and it’s fed to the buses in mono.
Setting the controls to positions in between these two extr emes allo ws you
set the width of the stereo signal. To maintain a central balance, however,
you must set both controls to c o rresponding values. For example, L5 and
R5, or L10 and R10.
The stereo input channel and effects returns hav e balance controls. The balance control can be used to balance the lev els of the left and right signals.
They does not affect the width of a stereo signal.
Including center, there are 33 pan and balance positions.

Pan Mode
The MODE switches, which are c ommon t o the Pan 1–16, Pan 17–24, and Bus t o ST
pages, are used to set the pan mode for the ster eo input c hannel, st er eo effects r eturns,
and input channels that are configured as ster eo pairs.
In this mode, pan contr ols can be adjust ed indi vidually.
In this mode, pan contr ols ar e ganged t ogether.
In this mode, pan contr ols ar e ganged t ogether but operation is in verted

Routing
03D—Owner’s Manual
A highlighted routing switch indicates that a channel is routed to a bus.
Input channels 1 to 16 have four bus r outing switches (1, 2, 3, 4), a st ereo routing switch (ST), and a direct out switch (D). See page 43 for information about
the direct output switch.
Input channels 17 to 24, the st ereo input c hannel, and the effects returns ha v e
four bus routing switches (1, 2, 3, 4) and one stereo r outing switch (ST).
Routing switches are joined into one when bus outs are c onfigur ed as st er eo
pairs, as shown here. See Configuring Stereo Pairs on page 114 for more information.
Stereo Pairs, Pan & Routing 61
Stereo Pairs, Pan & Routing
When input channels are co nfigur ed as a st er eo pair using the Pair function (Stereo
Pairs on page 114), control operation changes.
Here input channels 1 and 2 hav e been c onfigured as a st ereo pair. Clicking a routing switch on either channel sets the routing for both channel.
The operation of the two pan controls depends on the selected pan mode.
See Pan Mode on page 60 for mor e information.
Here input channels 17 and 18 have been configured as a stereo pair.
Operation is the same as for input channels 1 and 2 shown above exc ept
there is no direct output switch.
Routing switches are joined into one when bus outs are c onfigured as stereo pairs, as shown here. See Configuring Stereo Pairs on page 114 for
more information.
03D—Owner’s Manual
62 Chapter 6—Pan, Routing & Surround Pan
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, ellipse, semicircle, or straight line.
Sounds can also be moved around the two-dimensional spac e using a mouse.
Surround pan modes are selected on the Surround page. See Selecting a Pan Mode on
page 58 for more information.
Output Assignments
The following table shows how the surround channels are assigned to the 03D outputs
for each surround pan mode. Connect the outputs that c orrespond t o the surround
mode you are using to a surround sound monitoring system or rec or d er.

Stereo Mode
This is the normal stereo pan mode, with left and right front channels.
It’s not really a surround pan mode, but it’s mentioned her e for co mpleteness and to highlight the differences between the various pan
modes. See Stereo P an, Balanc e & Routing on page 59 for more infor mation. The following illustration shows a normal stereo sound system using the 03D .

Using Surround Pan
When a surround pan mode is selected (see Selecting a Pan M ode on page 58), the Surr .
1–16 and Surr. 17–24 surround pan pages shown below can be acc essed.
1. Use the [PAN/ROUTING] button to locate the Surr . 1–16 and Surr. 17–24
pages shown below.
The Surr. 1–16 page contains surround pan controls for input channels 1 to 16.
The Surr. 17–24 page contains surround pan controls for input channels 17 to 24, the
stereo input channel, and the effects r eturns. The left and right channels of the stereo
input channel and effects returns can be panned independently .
The surround pan position for each channel is displayed on a two-dimensional
pan graph. The pan position is indicated by a small circle. Small speaker icons
above and below the pan graph indicate the selected surround pan mode. In
this example, two speak ers at the front and two at the rear indicat e that 2+2 surround mode is selected. The larger cir cle indicat es that the cir cle trajectory is selected.
Trajectory settings are made on the surround pan trajectory window. Below the pan
graph are two parameters. The (left/right) parameter indicates the left to right posi-
tion. The (front/rear) parameter indicates the front t o r ear position. These parameters can also be used to adjust the positions.
2. Use the [SEL] buttons to select a channel, and then press the [ENTER] button.
If you are using a mouse, simply click a pan graph.

When the cursor is on a width, depth, or offset paramet er, the PARAMETER wheel
adjusts that parameter. When the cursor is on a trajectory switch, however, the
PARAMETER wheel can be used to pan the sound along the selected trajectory.
If you are using a mouse, you can mo ve sounds around the two-dimensional pan graph
in real time.
6. Use the cursor buttons to select the surround mode/jump switches, and
then press the [ENTER] button to move sounds.
The surround mode/jump switches correspond to the speaker la yout of the selected
surround pan mode.
7. To close the surround pan trajectory window, use the cursor buttons to
select the EXIT switch, and then press the [ENTER] button.
If you are using a mouse, simply click the EXIT switch.
When the Surr. 1–16 or Surr. 17–24 surr ound pan page appears, you can still use the
PARAMETER wheel to pan the sound along the selected trajectory.

About Monitor & Solo
The 03D’ s fle xible monit oring and solo functions are designed for use in a wide range
of applications. Pre-fader or post-fader signals from all inputs and outputs can be monitored via the monitor out and headphones. Solo in Place and M ixdo wn Solo mode,
which work in conjunction with the stereo output, are also provided. Monitor and solo
functions are divided between two pages: Mo ni.Setup and Solo Setup. When the Solo
function is off (i.e., [SOLO] button off), sources selected on the Moni.Setup page ar e
output continuously.
Moni.Setup
On the Moni.Setup page you can select the ster eo output, aux sends, bus outs, or stereo
cascade input as the monitor source. These signals are monit or ed via the monitor out
and headphones. Moni.Setup page functions do not affect the [SOL O] button or ster eo
output. U sing the SEL MODEs you can monitor these signals individually or mixed
together . Signals can be sourc ed pre-fader (PFL) or post-fader (AFL). The Moni.Setup
page also provides a trim control and mono/stereo switch. See Monitoring on page 74
for more information.
Solo
On the Solo Setup page you can set up the solo functions that allow you to monit or
input channels, the stereo input c hannel, effects returns, and ST cascade input. Three
solo modes are available on this page: Recording Solo, M ixdo wn Solo , and Solo in
Place. These modes are used in c onjunction with the [SOLO] and [ON] buttons, which
are used to select channels. Using the SEL MODEs you can monitor these signals individually or mixed together . Signals can be sourc ed pre-fader (PFL) or post-fader (AFL).
The Solo Setup page also provides a trim control and mono/stereo switch. The Solo
Setup page is used only to set up the solo functions. You do not need to select it in order
to use the solo functions. See Setting U p Solo on page 75 for more information. See also
Solo Safe on page 77.
03D—Owner’s Manual
Monitor Outputs 73
Monitor Outputs
Monitor and solo signals are output via the monitor out and phones connections. Mixdown Solo and Solo in Place modes also work with the stereo outputs.
The MONITOR OUT SOL O/2TR IN switch selects the signal sourc e for the monit or
out and phones, and should be set to SOL O for monit oring. See Two-track Input on
page 77 for more information.
Monitor signals are converted to analog using 20-bit 8-times
oversampling D/A con verters, and then output via balanced
1/4-inch phone jacks with a +4 dB nominal output level.
The MONITOR OUT LEVEL contr ol is used t o adjust the level
of the monitor out signal.
Phones
A pair of stereo headphones can be connected to the PHONES
stereo (TRS) phone jack. The phones signal is the same as the
monitor out signal.
The PHONES LEVEL control is used to adjust the lev el of the
phones signal.

Monitoring
On the Moni.Setup page you can select the ster eo output, aux sends, bus outs, or stereo
cascade input as the monitor source. These signals are monit or ed via the monitor out
and phones. Functions on this page do not affect the [SOLO] button or stereo output.
1. Use the [SOLO SETUP] button to locate the Moni.Setup page shown
below.
2. Use the cursor buttons to select the parameters, and the [ENTER] button
and PARAMETER wheel to set them.
If you are using a mouse, simply click the switches and drag the rotary control.
MONITOR SOURCE SELECT—These switches are used t o select the signal source for
the monitor out and phones. You can select the stereo out, aux sends, bus outs, and the
stereo cascade input. When aux sends or bus outs are configured as stereo pairs, these
switches are linked.
LISTEN—These switches set the monitor signal source to pre-fader (PFL) or post-fader
(AFL). This is a global setting that affects all monitor sources (i.e., stereo out, aux sends,
etc).
SEL MODE—These switches set the monitor select mode. In LAST MONI mode, only
one monitor source can be selected at a time. In MIX MONI mode, how ev er, several
monitor sources can be selected. Selected signals are mixed.
MONI TRIM—This control is used to adjust the level of the monitor signal from
–60 dB to +6 dB. This contr ol can be adjusted using the P ARAMETER wheel regardless
of cursor position.
STEREO/MONO—This switch sets the monitor and phone’s signals to mono or ste-
reo. It functions independently of the MONO switch on the Solo Setup page. W hen on,
the left and right signals are summed together to form a mono mix. The level of the
summed mix is attenuated –3 dB.
03D—Owner’s Manual
Setting Up Solo 75
Setting Up Solo
The Solo Setup page is used to set up the solo functions used to monitor input channels,
the stereo input channel, and effects r eturns. Three solo modes are a vailable: Rec ording
Solo, M ixdo wn Solo, and Solo in Place. These modes are used in conjunction with the
[SOLO] and [ON] buttons, which are used to select channels. The Solo Setup page is
used only to set up the solo functions. You do not need to select it in order to use the
solo functions.
1. Use the [SOLO SETUP] button to locate the Solo Setup page shown
below.
2. Use the cursor buttons to select the parameters, and the [ENTER] button
and PARAMETER wheel to set them.
If you are using a mouse, simply click the switches and drag the rotary control.
STATUS—These switches are used to select the following solo modes: Recording Solo ,
Mixdown Solo, or Solo I n Place.
Status Description
Recording Solo
Mixdown Solo
Solo in Place
(this mode is
essentially a
combination of
the Recording
and Mixdown
Solo modes)
• Soloed channel signals are sent to the Solo bus and then output to the
monitor out and phones.
• This allows you to monitor channels that are not routed to a bus.
• The Stereo bus signal is fed to the Solo bus and then output to the
monitor out and phones (the stereo output, monitor out, and phones all
output the same signal).
• Only channels that are soloed are turned on. All other channels are
muted. Solo safe channels remain as they were before solo mode was
engaged.
• Channels that were turned off before the [SOLO] button was pressed
are turned on when soloed. This means that so long as they are routed to
the Stereo bus they can be monitored.
• Soloed channel signals are sent to the Solo bus and then output to the
monitor out and phones.
• This allows you to monitor channels that are not routed to a bus (same
as for Recording Solo mode).
• Soloed channels that are turned on are output as usual to destinations
other than the monitors, just like when they are not soloed. Channels
that are not soloed, however, are muted. Solo safe channels remain as
they were before solo mode was engaged. This means that even channels that are not routed to a bus can be monitored (this is different to
Mixdown Solo mode).
When 03Ds are cascaded together using YGDAI CD8-CS cascade cards, the status settings can be made only on the cascade master (IN setting), not the cascade slav e (OUT
setting).
LISTEN—These switches set the monitor signal source to pre-fader (PFL) or post-fader
(AFL). This is a global setting that affects all input channels, the st er eo input c hannel,
03D—Owner’s Manual
76 Chapter 7—Solo, Monitors & Meters
and effects returns. The third switch, FADER GROUP AFL, w orks with fader groups.
When you solo a channel that is in a fader group , all other channels in that fader group
are also soloed. See Fader Groups on page 112. These switches are not active in MIXDOWN SOLO mode, because the monitor out and phones signals are sourced fr om the
Stereo bus.

SOLO TRIM—This control is used to adjust the level of the solo signal from –60 dB to
+6 dB. This control is not activ e in MIXDOWN SOL O mode, because the monitor out
and phones signals are sourced from the Stereo bus. This c ontrol can be adjusted using
the PARAMETER wheel regardless of cursor position.
STEREO/MONO—This switch sets the monitor and phone’s signals to mono or ste-
reo. I t functions independently of the MONO switch on the Moni.Setup page. When
on, the left and right channels of the stereo signal are summed together to form a mono
mix. The level of the summed mix is attenuated –3 dB.
Using Solo
1. Make sure the MONITOR OUT SOLO/2TR IN switch is set to SOLO.
2. Set the MONITOR OUT LEVEL control midway.
If you are using headphones, set the PHONES LEVEL control midway.
3. Set up the solo functions on the Solo Setup page. See Setting Up Solo
on page 75 for more information.
4. Press the [SOLO] button.
The SOLO indicator on the display and the [SOLO] and [ON] button indicators flash.
The [ON] buttons now function as solo select buttons, not channel on/off buttons.
The stereo output, aux send, and bus out [ON] butt ons do not flash. To monitor these
outputs, use the Moni.Setup page. See Monitoring on page 74 for more information.
5. Use the [ON] buttons to solo channels.
03D—Owner’s Manual
Exact operation depends on the Solo Setup settings. See Setting Up Solo on page 75 for
more information.
The last channel soloed becomes the currently selected channel, and that channel’ s
[SEL] button lights up. So with the View page selected y ou can instantly see the settings
of the soloed channel without having to select it using the [SEL] button. Channels configured as stereo pairs are selected t ogether.
Solo Safe 77
Solo Safe
The Solo Safe function is used to protect channels from being mu t ed when the MIXDOWN SOLO or SOLO IN PLACE mode is used. A safe channel is not muted when
other channels are soloed. The input channels, stereo input channel, effects returns,
and stereo cascade input can be set as safe channels. Solo safe settings ar e made on the
Solo Setup page.
1. Use the [SOLO SETUP] button to locate the Solo Setup page shown
below.
2. Use the cursor buttons to select the SOLO SAFE CHANNEL switches, and
the [ENTER] button to set them.
If you are using a mouse, simply click the SOL O SAFE CHANNEL switches.
Input channels configured as ster eo pairs cannot be set indi vidually.
A channel is set as safe when its SOLO SAFE CHANNEL switch is highlighted.
Two-track Input
The 03D two-track input can be used for confidence monitoring
while recording a stereo mix t o a master machine. W hen the MONITOR OUT SOL O/2TR IN switch is set to SOLO , solo signals are fed
to the monitor out and phones connections. When it is set to 2TR
IN, howev er, the signal connected to the 2TR IN jacks is output. The
levels of the two-track signal being monitored can be set using the
MONITOR OUT and PHONES LEVEL c ontr ols.
The 2TR INs are phono jacks with a –10 dBV nominal input level.

Metering 79
Metering
Level meters for the 24 input channels, stereo input channel, aux sends, bus outs, effects
returns, YGDAI outputs, and Solo bus are provided on the three Meter pages. The signal source points for input and output meters can be set on Pr e/Post page. Meters can
be used to meter signal levels or the amount of gain reductions being applied by the
dynamics processors. Stereo out levels are metered using the dedicated L STEREO R
LED meters. A switchable peak hold function can be set globally for all meters.
Meter page level meters range from –48 dB t o 0 dB, with CLIP. The CLIP indicators
light up when signals actually clip. So if a CLIP indicator lights up, back off the level a
little. Otherwise, signal distortion may occur.
1. Use the [FADER] button to select the Meter pages.
