Take your live sound reinforcement to new levels of creativity and quality. TouchFlow Operation™ is the defining feature of Yamaha’s TF series. This tool brings live sound reinforcement to a new level, letting you respond to the music and artists on stage fast and freely. TouchFlow Operation is optimized for touch panel control, making it easier to find the ideal mix. Instantly recall favorable settings with scene memory storage of up to 200 scenes. Work from pre-programmed scenes or create scenes of your own. Scenes are divided into A and B banks, making it easier to sort and organize scenes by type, while D-PRE preamplifiers ensure premium audio quality.

Compressor and EQ performance are central to mixing, and the TF series makes these tools seamless and easy to implement. The 1-knob COMP from Yamaha’s analog mixers is refined in this digital console, offering all the functions of compression without needing to juggle multiple parameters. The same concept was applied to a 1-knob EQ feature for fast and smooth operation, complete with Vocal Mode and Intensity Mode. The 1-knob COMP and 1-knob EQ are provided on the output channels as well.

QuickPro Presets™ were developed for a wide variety of microphones and output equipment from several major manufacturers. These practical presets let you get incredibly close to the ideal sound – helpful for novice engineers to learn the console, or for experienced engineers to save time. All presets were precisely tuned by using actual microphones, instruments, and speakers.

 FAQ

  • What are the differences between TF5, TF3, and TF1?
    • Input count and fader count vary depending on each model. The TF3 and TF5 have more mono input channels than the TF1, while the TF1 is rack-mountable (with optional RK5014 rackmount kit, sold separately).
  • Is the fader mechanism the same as other Yamaha digital consoles?
    • No, TF mixers feature a new fader design that optimizes protection from dust.

  • What DAW software is compatible?
    • Any software that is compatible with ASIO or CoreAudio drivers. A Windows PC must have Yamaha’s Steinberg USB Driver installed.
