Yamaha 01V96

The 96 kHz small-format digital desk that became a best-seller

Description

The 01V96 carried on what the 01V began in 1998: a compact, affordable, fully featured digital mixer, this time at 24-bit / 96 kHz. You find it in home studios, post, small PA and light broadcast. The VCM (modelled effects) and 01V96i (USB 2.0 16×16) versions kept it relevant for nearly fifteen years.
