A Design Born from the D-PRE Philosophy
At the heart of this console, the discrete component D-PRE preamps in Class A deliver a musical sound signature: present and natural lows, smooth and airy highs, with very low distortion and a wide frequency response. This transparency reduces the need for equalization or stacking effects, enabling faster and cleaner mixing right from the source.
For Whom and For What Uses?
Versatile, the 12-channel console is aimed at bands, home studio users, podcasters, houses of worship, and service providers seeking a reliable solution for both stage and studio. It offers enough inputs for a complete set while remaining simple to configure, whether for sound reinforcement at a concert, capturing a live stream, or recording a rehearsal.

Well, I'm starting again because I had already given an excellent 5 star review but it's not there, weird... Excellent table therefore purchased in April 2021 to sound my drum kit with 6 microphones maximum (4 dynamic + 2 overheads) thanks to the valuable advice of Romain (sound consultant) who helped me a lot in my hesitations & various questions because I am not a sound engineer... This table is unique for my case because it is then connected to another general mixer that returns me a click + sequencer, so I needed a rare option & specificity (Monitor Level/Phones: Stereo Group - Source Monitor) in order to be able to receive everything in my ear monitors but without it going into the general mix, whew! Everything is of high quality so on this table: color potentiometers, connectors, illuminated switches, PFL indicators... Not to mention the ease of handling, important when you are not a sound engineer! In summary: buy pure Yamaha with your eyes closed! Another big thank you to the whole Woodbrass team (welcome, advisers...)!
