Yamaha launch TF-RACK in TF Series digital mixer line-up
Yamaha has announced the launch of TF-RACK, the newest model in the TF Series digital mixer lineup.
Yamaha pro audio business unit director Yoshi Tsugawa comments: “The TF Series consoles were a significant
landmark in Yamaha’s 30-year history of digital mixer innovation, launching a new era of ‘intuitiveness.’
Now the TF-RACK adds even more versatility and potential to the TF lineup in a rack-mount configuration
that offers the same levels of performance and intuitive operability.”
This space-saving model is accessible to a wide range of users, from beginners to seasoned engineers. The
TF-RACK offers the same smooth, intuitive setup and operation that has made the TF series a popular choice
for a wide range of applications, in a compact unit that is ideal for limited spaces.
Firmware version 3.0 for all TF Series models will be released simultaneously with the TF-RACK. Firmware
V3.0 not only provides support for the TF-RACK, but also adds convenient features such as the ability
to set up limited-access user accounts for each user, and additional QuickPro Presets developed in
collaboration with Ultimate Ears.
