1 Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Yamaha 01V96 Digital Mixing Console.
The compact 01V96 Digital Console features 24-bit/96 kHz digital audio processing with-

out compromise, as well as 40-channel simultaneous mixing. The 01V96 covers a broad
range of needs and applications, including multi-track recording, 2-channel mixdown, and
cutting-edge surround sound production. This integrated, comprehensive audio system
features remote control function for DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) as popularized by
the DM2000 and 02R96 Digital Mixing Consoles.

The 01V96 offers the following features:

Hardware Features

• 100-mm motorized faders x 17

•Faders can set levels for Input Channels, Aux send levels, and Bus Outs.

•Four selectable software layers determine the function of channel faders.

• 320 x 240 dot LCD display

•Buttons and controls in the SELECTED CHANNEL section enable direct editing of

channel EQ parameters.

•8 USER-DEFINED KEYS enable you to assign functions to control 01V96 internal

parameters.

•ADAT optical connectors

•Expansion slot for optional digital I/O, AD, and DA cards.

A INPUT connectors A/B

INPUT A connectors are balanced XLR-3-31-type connectors that accept line-level and
microphone signals. Each of the phantom [+48V] switches on the rear panel turns on or off
the +48V phantom power feed to the corresponding input. INPUT B connectors are bal­anced TRS phone-type connectors that accept line-level and microphone signals. The nom­inal signal level of both types of connectors ranges from –60 dB to +4 dB. Phantom power
is not supplied to these connectors.

If you connect cables to INPUT A and INPUT B connectors of the same number, only the
signal from INPUT B is effective.

D PAD switches

These switches turn on or off the 20 dB pad (attenuator) for each AD Input.

These controls adjust input sensitivity for each AD Input. Input sensitivity is –16 dB to
–60 dB when the Pad is off, and +4 dB to –40 dB when the Pad is on.

These indicators light up when the input signal level is 3 dB below clipping. Adjust the Pad
switch and GAIN control so that the indicator rarely lights up at signal peak.

from the MONITOR OUT connectors.
The 2TR OUT signals are always the same as the STEREO OUT signals.

B Monitor Source selector

This button selects the signals output from the MONITOR OUT connectors on the rear
panel. When this button is turned on (pushed in), you can monitor the signals input from
the 2TR IN connectors. When the button is turned off (raised), you can monitor the Stereo
Out signals or soloed channel signals.

C MONITOR LEVEL control

This control adjusts the monitoring level of the signals output from the MONITOR OUT
connectors.

D PHONES LEVEL control

This control sets the level of the PHONES. (See page 131 for more information on moni­toring through the headphones.)

E PHONES jack

You can connect a set of stereo headphones to this stereo phone jack. The signals output
from the MONITOR OUT connectors are also output from this jack.

If the selected display page group contains multiple pages, press the [F1]–[F4] buttons
below the corresponding tab to select a specific page.

3To select a page for which a tab is not currently displayed, press either the

Left or Right [ ]/[ ] Tab Scroll button (depending on where the page is
located) to display the page tab, then press the corresponding [F1]–[F4] but­ton.

If display page groups contain more than four pages, either the left or right arrow appears.
To display the currently-hidden tabs, press the Right or Left [ ]/[ ] Tab Scroll button.

You can also select a page from a page group as follows:

• Selecting the next page in a page group:

Double-click the button you selected in Step 1.

4 Press the cursor buttons to move the cursor (a bold frame) to a button,

parameter box, rotary control, or fader so that you can change the value.

Tip: The 01V96 remembers the current page and parameter when you select a new page group.
If you return to the previous page group, the 01V96 displays the correct page, with the same
parameter selected. You can also select a page by using the controls or buttons on the top panel
(see page 226).
