Our take
History & design
The Yamaha TF3 is the mid-size console of the TF series, launched in 2015 alongside the TF5 and TF1. It shares the TF5 mixing engine: 48 channels (40 mono, 2 stereo and 2 effect returns), 20 AUX buses (8 mono and 6 stereo), a stereo bus, a sub bus and 8 DCA groups. The difference lies in the surface and local I/O: 24 XLR/TRS combo inputs with class-A D-PRE preamps, 2 RCA stereo inputs, 16 XLR outputs and 25 motorized 100 mm faders (24 channels plus master).
It keeps the TouchFlow Operation touchscreen, 1-knob compression and EQ, QuickPro Presets, 8 effects and 10 graphic EQs. The expansion slot takes an NY64-D card for Dante, and therefore the Tio1608-D stagebox, or an NY-MD64 card for MADI. The TF3 records 2 tracks to a USB stick and works as a 34x34 interface to a DAW. At 71.6 cm wide and 17 kg, it fits control rooms where a TF5 would be too long. Scene files are compatible across the three models, and TF Editor and TF StageMix control the console remotely. Its 24 local inputs extend through a Tio1608-D stagebox.
