Yamaha N12 Digital Mixer Firewire IO

This elusive but essential ingredient can mean the difference between recording a memo or a masterpiece. It`s not just you, or the gear you use, but a synergetic connection between the two. The Yamaha n-series Digital Mixing Studios have been created primarily to make that connection easier to achieve. Obviously the equipment won`t make the music for you, but bad sound and/or complicated procedures will certainly dampen your inspiration and enthusiasm. That`s why the n8 and n12 have been designed from the ground up to make recording and mixing a creative joy rather than a technical hassle. You`ll sound good, and you`ll be able to create the moods and textures you`re after with minimum effort in short, you`ll feel great about the whole process so your talent can really shine.

Inspiration can be unreliable, but when it strikes the Yamaha n-series Digital Mixing Studios let you capture it in all of its creative glory.

FEATURES:

Great Mixes Begin with a Great Preamp:

~ Musically Tuned Class-A Discrete Mic Preamp with Inverted Darlington Circuitry Design ~ Almost invariably, your sound - your art - will start out as an analog signal. Whether it`s your voice, sax, guitar, piano, or even most electronic keyboards, you`ll be feeding an analog signal to the mixer, where it encounters one of the most critical elements in the entire signal chain: the microphone/line preamplifier (sometimes called the head amp). The preamplifier amplifies the low-level output from microphones and conditions line-level signals so that they can be converted to digital information via the mixer`s analog-to-digital converters, and unless absolute signal purity and integrity is maintained, you will lose some of the quality you`ve worked so hard to achieve. Yamaha has gone to extremes in the n-series mixer to create preamplifiers that will make the most of the music you feed them. In addition to a specially-tuned class-A discrete configuration that implements an inverted Darlington circuit design for exceptional musicality and low distortion, these outstanding preamplifiers employ custom-manufactured capacitors that contribute to sonic resolution you`ll have to hear to believe. Bass comes through with the punch and authority it needs to support the music, smooth highs deliver a natural sense of openness and air, and outstanding midrange resolution means extraordinary musical detail. These are not average production-line preamplifiers, and you will hear the difference. You also have a full range of input controls, including gain trim, pad switch, phase switch, low-pass filter, and analog/DAW input selection.

Switchable Phantom Power:


If you`re serious about your sound - especially for vocals or acoustic instruments - you`ll undoubtedly want to use studio-quality phantom-powered condenser microphones for the extended range and natural reproduction they provide. The n8 and n12 are fully compatible, with switchable built-in phantom power.
