Our take
History & design
Introduced in 2002, the Yamaha 02R96 is the direct descendant of the 02R, keeping its footprint and taking it to 24-bit / 96 kHz. It mixes up to 56 channels simultaneously at 96 kHz on custom DSP7 chips, with 32-bit internal processing (58-bit accumulator).
The surface carries 25 touch-sensitive 100 mm motor faders. Every channel has a parametric equalizer and dynamics processing, and the console handles surround panning. Four mini-YGDAI expansion slots add the desired digital and analog formats (AES/EBU, ADAT, I/O cards). The Advanced Studio Manager application (Windows/Mac) ships with the console for editing and control.
The 02R96 saw a Version 2 in 2004, then the 02R96VCM, which adds VCM plug-ins (vintage EQ and compressor modeling). The announced mix-bus count varies across documents (18 to 20, counting busses, auxes and stereo).
