Yamaha O2R96 V2 desk. Released in 2002, the O2R96 V2 is the professional standard, redefining state of the art for digital audio production. The O2R96 V2 adds features and functionality that place it at the forefront of todays production scene. It provides high level spec for commercial quality mixing performance, effects, and operational efficiency. It delivers the goods. The O2R96 V2 imposes no limitations at 44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96Khz, unlike conventional equipment achieving operation in 96Khz mode with a reduced number of channels. Full 96Khz resolution with 32-bit internal processing and 58-bit accumulators is our standard. 56 channels of transparent, super-dynamic 24bit/96Khz audio, plus all the additional stereo effects and processing you'll need for most applications. We record up to 24 tracks simultaneously at 24bit/96Khz, with up to 128 tracks of playback.

A balance is maintained between analogue and digital processors, including outboard dynamics from Avalon, Lexicon, TC Electronics, TLAudio and Focusrite to DSPs/plugins from Universal Audio, Waves and Antares (including AUTOTUNE) plus much more. As far as microphones go, we have the usual names: Neumann, AKG and Shure, aswell as some more interesting valve mics from Groove tubes and specialist drum mics by JTS (for a more detailed spec. list please call).
