Liquid or metal objects inside this unit are a fire and electrical shock hazard. · Do not locate the 03D in a place subject to excessive heat or in direct sunlight. This could be a fire hazard. · Do not place the 03D in a place subject to excessive humidity or dust. This could be a fire and electrical shock hazard. · Connect the 03D power cord only to an AC outlet of the type stated in this Owner's Manual or as marked on the 03D. Failure to do so is a fire and electrical shock hazard. · Do not plug several devices into the same AC outlet. This can overload the AC outlet, and can be a fire and electrical shock hazard. It may also affect the performance of some devices. · Do not place heavy objects on the power cord. A damaged power cord is a potential fire and electrical shock hazard. · If the power cord is damaged (i.e., cut or a bare wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement. Using the 03D in this condition is a fire and shock hazard. · Hold the power cord plug when disconnecting from an AC outlet. Never pull the cord. Damaging the power cord in this way is a potential fire and electrical shock hazard. · Do not place small metal objects on top of the 03D. Metal objects inside the 03D are a fire and electrical shock hazard. · Do not block the 03D ventilation holes. The 03D has ventilation holes at the top and rear to prevent the internal temperature from rising. Blocked ventilation holes are a fire hazard. · Do not try to modify the 03D. This could be a fire and electrical shock hazard. · The 03D operating temperature is between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F). Cautions · Turn off all audio devices and speakers when connecting to the 03D. Refer to the owner's manual for each device. Use the correct cables and connect as specified. · If you notice any abnormality--such as smoke, odor, or noise--turn off the 03D immediately. Remove the power cord from the AC outlet. Confirm that the abnormality is no longer present. Consult your dealer for repair. Using the 03D in this condition is a fire and shock hazard. · If a foreign object or water gets inside the 03D, turn it off immediately. Remove the power cord from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer for repair. Using the 03D in this condition is a fire and electrical shock hazard. · If you plan not to use the 03D for a long period of time, remove the power cord from the AC outlet. Leaving the 03D connected is a fire hazard. · Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a chemical cloth to clean the 03D. Use only a soft, dry cloth. 03D--Owner's Manual ii · The 03D is a heavy piece of equipment. Always grip the underneath, not the side panels, when lifting.

Based on the highly successful 02R Digital Recording Console, the new Yamaha 03D has been designed with music production and project studios in mind, although its unique and flexible features will also appeal to audio post and sound reinforcement and installation providers. About this Owner's Manual The 03D Owner's Manual contains all the information you need to use your 03D Digital Mixing Console. Use the table of contents to find general information and familiarize yourself with the organization of this manual, and use the index to search for specific items. A glossary of 03D-related jargon is provided on page 281. Each chapter in this manual discusses a single area of the 03D. For example, "Input Channels" explains all about input channels, while "Scene Memories" explains all about scene memories. The contents of most chapters are obvious from the chapter title. Rather than repeat some explanations several times, items that are common to many channels, such as EQ and the dynamics processors, are explained in their own chapters. Where possible, the individual sections of a chapter have been organized in order of signal flow. The "Input Channel" chapter, for example, starts with the input connectors and works through each input channel function, finishing up at the buses. 03D Installation Site the 03D on a stable surface, somewhere that complies with the important information at the beginning of this manual. The 03D can be rack-mounted using the optional rack-mount kit. 03D--Owner's Manual 03D Features 3 03D Features 03D Sonic Specs · Linear 20-bit 64-times oversampling A/D converters · Linear 20-bit 8-times oversampling D/A converters (ST OUT, MONITOR OUT) · 105 dB typical dynamic range (ST IN to ST OUT) · 20 Hz­20 kHz (+1, ­3 dB) frequency response · 32-bit internal digital audio processing · 44-bit digital EQ processing 03D Features · 26 inputs (including 8 digital inputs) · 18 outputs (including 8 assignable digital outputs) · Continuously variable gain controls · Balanced XLR inputs with +48 V phantom power on input channels 1 to 8 · 26 dB pad on input channels 1 to 8 · Balanced phone jack inputs on input channels 1 to 16 · Analog inserts on input channels 1 and 2 · AES/EBU and Coaxial-type digital inputs and outputs · Eight assignable digital outputs via Yamaha's standard YGDAI interface · YGDAI Cascade option for twin 03D or 03D and 02R operation · Analog or digital stereo cascade for easy channel expansion · Versatile solo modes for comprehensive monitoring · Four fader groups for multiple channel control · Four mute groups for multiple channel muting · Stereo-pair operation for input channels, aux sends, and bus outs · Four-band parametric EQ on virtually every input and output (160 bands of EQ) · Powerful EQ library with 40 preset programs and 40 user programs · Four aux sends with analog outputs · Two onboard effects processors with 64 preset programs and 32 user programs · Dynamics processor on virtually every input and output (36 in total) · Powerful dynamics library with 40 preset programs and 40 user programs · Powerful channel library with 2 preset programs and 49 user programs · 51 scene memories for snapshot-style automation · Built-in Automix function for mix automation referenced to MIDI timecode · Large 320 x 240 dot liquid-crystal display with fluorescent backlight · Optional PC-compatible serial mouse for quick navigation and editing · Four user definable buttons for quick access to frequently used commands · MIDI remote control of Programmable Mixer 01, 02R, 03D, ProR3, REV500, etc. · Built-in MIDI interface for quick and simple connection to a personal computer · 60 mm motorized faders 03D--Owner's Manual 4 Chapter 1--Welcome to the 03D Key Feature Discussion Configuration The 03D provides a total of 26 inputs (including 8 digital inputs), stereo output (analog or digital), 4 bus outs, 4 aux sends, 2 internal effects sends, and 8 assignable digital outputs via a single YGDAI (Yamaha General Digital Audio Interface) slot. Each input channel features four-band parametric EQ and a dynamics processor. Input channels 1 to 8 feature balanced XLR and phone jack connections, with individually switched phantom power. Inputs 1 and 2 feature analog inserts. Input delays can be used for microphone-placement compensation, while output delays can be used for delay-compensation in multi-speaker systems. The number of inputs can be increased by digitally cascading two 03Ds together, sharing Bus, Aux, Stereo, and Solo buses. YGDAI digital inputs and outputs can be configured as bus outs, aux sends, input channel direct outs, or stereo outs. So although the 03D is a four-bus mixer, assigning the four buses and four aux sends, or the channel direct outs to the YGDAI slot's eight outputs allows eight-track simultaneous recording. Benefits of a Digital Mixer You're probably already familiar with the many benefits offered by digital audio, but what exactly are the benefits for digital audio mixing? Well, an audio mixer has the job of combining audio signals from various sources, at differing levels and impedances, usually into a stereo mix. And it must do this without introducing any new distortions and noise. Analog mixers do a pretty good job, but even with the best designs, nonlinear effects caused by circuit components are unavoidable. In the digital realm, audio mixing consists of adding and multiplying binary numbers that represent audio signals. The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) chips used for these calculations never get their sums wrong. So once past the initial A/D conversion, audio signals are immune from signal degradation. With the 03D, noise, distortion, and crosstalk are virtually eliminated. You'll hear a new clarity in your mixes. Once in the digital domain, it makes sense to keep audio data digital, as multiple AD/DA conversions can degrade signal quality. With the optional YGDAI interface cards, the 03D can be connected directly to a modular digital multitrack recorder, thereby keeping audio data in the digital domain for both recording and mixing. The final stereo mix can be transferred to a two-track digital recorder using the 03D's AES/EBU or Coaxial digital output. Onboard digital effects and dynamics processors mean that signals remain in the digital domain, eliminating unnecessary AD/DA conversion. Signal processing is performed by third-generation Yamaha DSPs, as used in the Yamaha ProR3 Digital Reverberator. 03D Sonic Performance The 03D's linear 20-bit 64-times oversampling A/D converters provide a typical dynamic range of 105 dB. The 03D can generate the industry standard sampling rates of 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz, or synchronize to an external wordclock source from 32 kHz ­6% to 48 kHz +6%. The stereo output and monitor output feature 20-bit 8-times oversampling D/A converters, while the aux sends and bus outs feature 18-bit 8-times oversampling D/A converters. Oversampling techniques effectively increase the internal sampling rate, so side effects caused by steep low-pass filters, which are used to filter out sampling frequency components during D/A conversion, are virtually eliminated. Consequently, audio signal integrity is maintained from input through to output. 03D--Owner's Manual Key Feature Discussion 5 Four-band Parametric EQ & Library The 03D input channels, stereo input channel, stereo output, bus outs, aux sends, and onboard effects returns all feature four-band fully parametric EQ, with variable gain, frequency, Q, and bypass. That's 160 bands of EQ! High and low EQ bands can be used as shelving, peaking, or HPF and LPF, respectively. See EQ on page 45 for more information. EQ settings can be stored as programs in the EQ library, with all channel settings in a channel library program, or with all mix settings in a mix scene. Real-time EQ adjusts can be automated using the onboard Automix function. See Automix on page 175 for more information. The EQ library contains 40 preset programs and 40 user programs. User programs allow you to store frequently used EQ settings, and they can be titled for easy identification. The unique collection of preset EQ programs are designed for specific applications and instruments, and provide a good reference and starting point when making EQ adjustments. See EQ Library on page 48 for more information. Motorized Faders The 03D features 60 mm motorized faders that move automatically when a mix scene is recalled or an automix is played, providing a clear visual indication of fader levels. A fade time of up to 10 seconds can be set individually for each mix scene. Faders can be grouped together in one of four fader groups for multiple fader control. See Fader Groups on page 112 for more information. Faders of a pair of channels configured as a stereo pair move simultaneously. See Stereo Pairs on page 114 for more information. The ST OUT and ST IN faders always control the stereo output and stereo input channel levels, respectively. The EFFECT RETURN fader controls the return levels of the two onboard effects processors. The operation of faders 1 to 16, however, depends on the selected mixing layer. When the mixing layer is set to 1­16, the faders work with input channels 1 to 16. When set to 17­24/MASTER, however, they work with input channels 17 to 24, the aux sends, and the bus outputs. See Mixing Layer on page 31 for more information. As well as perform channel level adjustments, faders are used as aux send and effects send level controls. Fader operation is set using the FADER MODE buttons. See Fader Mode on page 13 for more information. Onboard Effects Processors The 03D features two onboard stereo multi-effects processors: Effect 1 and Effect 2. These provide a wide range of quality effects, including reverb, delay, chorus, flange, amp simulator, and more. There are 34 different effects types available. The effects processors are fed by the Effect 1 and Effect 2 buses, and the processed signals are returned through the effects return channels. Effects can be applied to input channels and the stereo input channel. Effects settings can be stored as programs in the effects library, which contains 64 preset programs and 32 user programs. User programs allow you to store your own effects programs, and they can be titled for easy identification. See Effects Library on page 125 for more information. Effects settings are also stored in mix scenes. Existing outboard gear can be patched into the 03D via the four aux sends. 03D--Owner's Manual 6 Chapter 1--Welcome to the 03D Onboard Dynamics Processors Dynamics processors, providing compression, ducking, gating, and expansion, are available on all input channels, the stereo input channel, the stereo output, bus outs, aux sends, and the onboard effects returns. That's a total of 36 dynamics processors! Dynamics processors can be self triggering (i.e., the signal being processed is used as the trigger signal), or triggered by a signal from another channel. Dynamics settings can be stored as programs in the dynamics library, with all channel settings in a channel library program, or with all mix settings in a mix scene. The dynamics library contains 40 preset programs and 40 user programs. User programs allow you to store your own dynamics programs, and they can be titled for easy identification. See Dynamics Library on page 147 for more information. Existing signal processing gear can be patched into the 03D via the analog insert connections on input channels 1 and 2. YGDAI & Digital I/O The 03D features a single YGDAI slot, providing eight digital inputs and eight assignable digital outputs. The 03D accepts the same single-size YGDAI cards as the 02R Digital Recording Console. These cards provide a direct, digital connection to modular digital multitrack recorders, such as the Alesis ADAT, Tascam DA88 or DA38, and AES/EBU and Yamaha (Y2) format equipment. See YGDAI Cards on page 223 for more information. In addition, AES/EBU and Coaxial digital stereo inputs and outputs allow direct connection to digital recorders and other digital devices. Digital stereo signals can be routed to the Stereo bus for cascade operation or to the stereo input channel for mixing and processing. See Digital Stereo In on page 221 for more information. Easy-to-Learn GUI Interface 03D operation is both logical and intuitive. The large 320 x 240 dot display with fluorescent backlight uses graphical icons to represent controls, and provides a clear indication of current settings and EQ curves. A PC-compatible serial mouse can be connected for quick navigation and parameter editing. On/off-type parameters can be set with a simple click, and rotary controls can be dragged. The CH View page shows all settings of the selected channel at a glance. See Channel View on page 108 for more information. Surround Pan As well as normal stereo pan, the 03D features three surround pan modes: 2+2, 3+1, and 3+2+1. In conjunction with the stereo out and bus outs, surround pan controls allow you to pan channel signals in a two-dimensional space. Surround pan controls can be used to move sounds in a circular motion, ellipsis, semicircle, or straight line. Sounds can be moved around the two-dimensional space in real time using a mouse. Normal stereo pan and surround pan movements can be automated using the Automix function. See Surround Pan on page 62 for more information. 03D--Owner's Manual Key Feature Discussion 7 Scene Memories On many mixers, the only way to store mix settings is with marker pen and masking tape. With the 03D, however, virtually every mix setting can be stored as a mix scene in one of the 03D's 50 scene memories. Mix scenes can be recalled instantly with just one button press, or MIDI Program Change command. Mix scenes can also be recalled as part of a dynamic automix, providing "total automation". If you work on several projects at a time, you can store the current mix scene so when you return to that project, you can start again right where you left off. Scene memories also make light work of night-after-night sound checks. Simply press recall to return to the previous night's mix settings. For theater work, scene memories allow accurate and repeatable sound changes between scenes. Automix The 03D's Automix function provides dynamic mix automation referenced to an external timecode source. The external timecode can be either MTC (MIDI Timecode) or MIDI Clock. Automix can be used to record and playback fader moves, channel mutes, EQ changes, pan, and more. In addition, mix scene, EQ, channel, effects, and dynamics library recalls can be included in an automix, combining snapshot and dynamic automixing for "total automation". Events recorded in an automix can be edited off-line. Fader moves can be edited "on the fly", or off-line using the Trim function. The Undo function can be used to revert to the previous automix after making changes that you do not want to keep. MIDI In addition to standard MIDI connectors, the 03D features a TO HOST connector. This allows the 03D to be connected directly to a personal computer without a MIDI interface. By connecting other MIDI gear to the 03D's standard MIDI connectors, the 03D can be used as MIDI interface for an entire MIDI system. All mix parameters that can be stored in a mix scene can be controlled using MIDI System Exclusive messages. MIDI Program Change messages can be used to recall mix scenes. Up to 114 03D parameters can be assigned to MIDI Control Change messages for 03D control from a remote device. Scene memory, library, and automix data can be dumped to and from other MIDI devices, such as a MIDI data filer for backup and archive, a controlling computer, or another 03D. See MIDI on page 231 for more information. MMC (MIDI Machine Control) commands can be assigned to the 03D's four USER DEFINE buttons for remote machine control (stop, play, rewind, forward, and record). Using the MIDI Remote function, other MIDI gear can be controlled using the 03D's faders, [ON] buttons, and PARAMETER wheel. The 03D comes with MIDI Remote pages for the following: Yamaha Programmable Mixer 01, 02R, and 03D digital consoles; Yamaha ProR3 and REV500 digital reverbs; GM and XG compatible tone generators; and Pro Tools. Custom pages can be configured for use with other MIDI gear. 03D--Owner's Manual Touring the 03D 9 Touring the 03D 2 In this chapter...
