The new 01V96i has been launched at InterBEE 2011, an international exhibition showcasing broadcast, video, audio and lighting equipment, held in Japan from November 16 through 18. Since its initial release in 1998, the 01V has been used in a wide variety of applications – both personal and professional – ranging from recording and production environments to live sound and installation setups. As this console has evolved over time, Yamaha has devoted itself to building a strong relationship with its customers in order to give them the features and improvements they need, enabling the 01V to remain the industry standard for compact digital mixers. Building on the proven configuration of its predecessors, the new 01V96i now offers USB 2.0 connectivity along with new multi-track recording features and improved sonic quality.
