The Yamaha 01V96i is a professional 40-channel digital mixing console representing the next step in the evolution of an industry standard that began in 1998. Building on the proven configuration of its predecessors, this compact digital mixer now features 16-in/16-out USB 2.0 audio streaming at an impressive 96kHz for direct multitrack recording and playback, effectively allowing you to take your studio on the road. With 24-bit/96kHz performance, newly improved studio-quality head amps, and Yamaha's acclaimed Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) effects and high-resolution REV-X reverbs, the 01V96i delivers exceptional sonic transparency for a wide range of applications including recording studios, post-production environments, live sound reinforcement, and fixed installations.

Designed for versatility and expandability, the 01V96i offers powerful mixing capacity with up to 40 simultaneous inputs and 20 buses at 96kHz, including a main stereo bus, eight individual mixing buses, two solo buses, and eight auxiliary buses. The console features precision 100mm motor faders, 99 scene memories with recall safe and global paste functions, and flexible patching that allows all available inputs, outputs, effects, and channel inserts to be assigned to any channel or output. An I/O expansion slot accepts mini-YGDAI cards for up to 16 additional channels in various analog or digital formats, while the Cascade Link function allows two 01V96i consoles to be connected for up to 80 input channels. This complete package is housed in a professional wheeled hard case, providing rugged transport protection for mobile production, touring, and rental applications.
