Ample input capacity and hands-on control in a compact console.
The Yamaha TF series digital mixing consoles represent years of continuous development. Yamaha is among the world's most experienced designers of digital consoles, but for the TF project, engineers started from scratch, rethinking the way people approach mixing sound, and careful not to get caught up in any conventions or presupposed best practices without a thorough reaxamination. The team that created this console have more than 70 years of aggregated experience mixing shows of all genres, so they have firsthand experience with the chief concerns musicians have with regard to mixing. The Yamaha TF3 is the Mama Bear of the three available versions of the TF mixer series, situated nicely in the middle in terms of feature set. It may be the perfect thing for your stage or studio.
