Portability, Straightforward Design, and Phenomenal Sound!

If you're looking for a compact, 24-input digital console that will unleash your creativity, the Yamaha TF3's fluid TouchFlow Operation lets you respond to the music onstage with effortless speed and freedom, ensuring that nothing restricts your inspiration. Whether you're an experienced engineer or a complete novice, the TF3's level of refinement is nothing short of astonishing, making it remarkably easy to achieve a great mix. And after listening to the TF3's great-sounding D-Pre mic preamps, we think you'll agree that this comfortable, smooth-operating compact digital mixer doesn't skimp on sound quality, either. At Sweetwater, we believe that the Yamaha TF3 is a truly evolved 24-input digital console, thanks to its straightforward touchscreen design and practical presets and scenes. Check it out for yourself!

TouchFlow Operation - smooth, natural control flow

Smooth and refined, the Yamaha TF3 24-input digital console's TouchFlow Operation provides you with straightforward control that never stands between you and your music. The user interface on the TF3's touchscreen gives you easy, direct accessibility, with a layout that promotes natural, efficient mixing. On top of that, you get a physical Touch & Turn knob right beside the touchscreen, as well as four User Defined knobs, making extra-precision adjustments a breeze.

1-knob compression and EQ let you dial in the ideal sound

Gain, compressor, and EQ setup is child's play with the Yamaha TF3 24-input digital console. Whether you're an experienced FOH engineer or volunteering to run sound for a worship service, the TF3's simplified 1-knob operation lets you adjust compressor and EQ settings with confidence. With a simple twist of a knob, you can use a compressor to bring a guitar to life, add punch to bass, tighten up a snare, and make vocals ride clearly on the mix. On top of that, the TF3's finely tuned EQ lets you achieve outstanding results with minimum effort in the shortest possible time. You also get a Vocal Mode for clear, well-defined vocals, and an Intensity mode for simplified control over EQ curves. Finally, the TF3's GainFinder optimizes your gain setup so you can achieve Grade-A sound quality with little effort.

Presets and scenes - shortcuts to great sound

The Yamaha TF3 is probably one of the least intimidating 24-input digital consoles in existence, thanks to its incredibly practical presets and scenes. Working with microphone manufacturers such as Audio-Technica, Sennheiser, and Shure as well as respected engineers, Yamaha has created a range of shortcuts to great sound that are effective in all kinds of situations. If you're a novice engineer, the TF3's presets will allow you to get a great mix without a bunch of tweaking. On the other hand, if you're an experienced engineer, you'll appreciate the significant time savings provided by having useful starting points instantly available to you. On top of that, you get two banks of scene memory (for a total of 200 scenes), that let you set up and instantly recall all of your settings for nearly any scenario you can dream up. You even get some pre-programmed scenes to get you started!

D-Pre mic preamps and onboard effects deliver phenomenal sound

The mic preamps play a significant role in defining the sound of your mix, that's why the Yamaha TF3 24-input digital console is loaded with 24 if their acclaimed D-Pre mic pres. Utilizing a circuit based on a discrete inverted Darlington configuration, D-Pre preamps provide you with a clean, precise sound that captures every nuance and subtlety of your source. The pure sound of these pres ensure that you won't need to spend hours EQ-ing just to get a barely-acceptable sound, like you would with low-quality mic preamps. You also get eight powerful processors, providing you with wide-ranging sonic control. In addition to the EQ and dynamics processors on each channel, you also get 17 programs based on Yamaha's world-famous SPX processors, ranging from reverb and delay, through modulation effects, to 3-band multiband compression.

TF3-wow, excellent sound Indeed!

I bought a TF3 and have been using it for a wide variety of work on location. Let me tell you that I am impressed with the mic preamps and useability. Sound is outstanding. I prefer to tweak each setting manually, but the console is set up to automatically adjust many settings. Good for beginners.
I am a sophisticated user and I find that this solution is quick, easy, and expert. Highly recommended.

Wow Great Mixer!!!

This was an upgrade for our Church from an analog board. The initial setup took a couple of hours, but was worth it to get the eq set for all the channels. One of my favorite things is the scene feature. Being the main board for a church and several people using it during the week. You can get the mix like you like and save it to a scene and save it. If someone comes in and messes with it all you have to do is recall the scene you want. This is a good board if your upgrading from an analog one.

Fantastic Mixer

This mixer totally lived up to our expectations. It is easy to train our church volunteers on basic functions while offering more features for the more experienced engineer. Built in recording capability makes it easy to record sermons or even multi-track through USB or Dante. All of this is at a very affordable price point. Highly recommended.

Yup, its that good!!

I know the TF series is being marketed mostly as a live digital console, but I bought the TF3 for my home studio.

This desk so far has done everything I have asked from it especially when I send my mix-down for sound processing from the DAW (Studio One) thru the TF3 and back into the DAW. That is the most complex routing I’ll ever do and it does it extremely well!! This board took the place of a Yamaha N12 which is a 100% music production console. I’m keeping the N12 because it is a very good desk (if not one of Yamaha’s best!), but this TF3 is sick. Yamaha has packed a lot mojo under the hood and I like the fact that I can mix out of the box with this console and can save the scene like I could do in the DAW.

The effects, eq’s, gate and compressor works so good that I use them instead of the Studio one plug-ins.

Oh yeah, and how could I pass up the $ Yamaha rebate?

Thanks Jason for all of your help. The console exceeded my expectations!!!

Great service

I purchased a 6000 watt power amp from Sweetwater and they called two times to make sure everything was good. I have been a sound tec for 30 years and have never had this kind of service. I am very impressed with the talent at Sweetwater. I will use you guys again, thanks.
