While diving into the world of professional audio mixing, the TF-RACK Digital Mixer stands out as a compact, rack-mountable version of Yamaha's esteemed TF Series digital mixing consoles. This high-performance, space-efficient model is meticulously crafted to accommodate a diverse array of users, from audio engineering novices to seasoned professionals, making it an ideal solution for environments where space is limited. As a testament to Yamaha's leadership in digital mixer innovation since 1987, the TF-RACK Digital Mixer is engineered for versatility, suitable for applications ranging from small events and commercial installations to expansive outdoor concerts and sophisticated music production.The TF-RACK incorporates the revolutionary TouchFlow Operation, a hallmark of the TF Series, enabling users to interact with on-stage music and artists with unparalleled speed and flexibility. This digital mixer is equipped with 16 mic/line inputs plus 1 stereo line input and 16 outputs, delivering comprehensive mixing and processing capabilities for small to medium-scale live sound, corporate speech events, and more. Its intuitive user interface, natural control flow, and integrated digital effects/processing units make it a compact, portable, rack-style unit that is remarkably user-friendly.A standout feature of the TF-RACK is its scene memory capability, offering banks A and B, each capable of storing up to 100 scenes, for a total of 200 scenes that can be instantly recalled as needed. This is further enhanced by the 1-knob COMP and 1-knob EQ controls, facilitating swift and effortless sound adjustments. The TF-RACK is also equipped with Yamaha's acclaimed D-PRE microphone preamplifiers, known for delivering exceptional sound quality and recallable settings. These preamplifiers are crucial in shaping the final mix, capturing every nuance and subtlety of the original signal with pristine, precise amplification.In addition to channel processors, the TF-RACK features eight robust processing/effect units, providing a wide array of creative possibilities. These units incorporate the same SPX processors that have become industry standards in recording and live sound applications. The TF-RACK also ensures seamless operation with three dedicated apps: TF Editor, TF StageMix, and MonitorMix. These apps extend the console's interface to any device, allowing for wireless mixing, personal monitor mixing, or offline setup of the digital live mixing console.In summary, the TF-RACK Digital Mixer is a compact, rack-mountable powerhouse that delivers exceptional performance and innovative operability, making it an unrivaled choice for a broad spectrum of audio mixing applications.

Hoping someone at Yamaha will see this and create a very quick teacher-friendly guide that will in plain English (and perhaps with illustrations) that explains: how to set levels; how to send a channel to the mains; how to send a channel to the monitors; how to set up a master volume, and how to set up a separate monitor master volume. Please remember that music teachers in general know nothing about sound systems. I get confused with all the lingo. And please email it to me asap as we are practicing for Veterans Day this week. I honestly think the installer's trouble-shooter knows a lot about technology, but has no clue how to run sound.

(I still have the manual to our old Mackey board, and it is much more user-friendly. I just can't find the controls I need to follow their directions within the iPad system. It's very difficult to navigate.)

More info:
My school district bought this last year to update the system in our cafetorium. It was set up by a third party that specializes in school sound systems. It's great for dance parties and easy to set up a single microphone. But After 12 months, I still can't get the monitors loud enough to use the system for an actual performance on the stage.. 

Specifically, I need the monitors louder than the mains because the most important part of an elementary performance is the kids on the stage have to hear the music. The audience need to hear the kids, and not the accompaniment track. With so many kids on the stage, there really isn't a need for them to be mic'd.

I need help!

I am blown away with this unit. I needed a compact mixer for giging and after reading some reviews i was hesitant, but i need the input and output possibilities and the Yamaha TF offered everything i needed. 1st of all let me say that the preamps on this mixer are exceptional. The other three digital boards i have do not compare to the sound quality the TF delivers. The software control is awesome and easy to use and expansion capability is a big plus for me. I wont mention the brand that i have been using, but I am here to say if you're on the fence about TF, Don't be. You wont be sorry.

Suprised and Happy

After using your Yamaha MG/24 for ten years we decided to upgrade our system and move everything from an audio desk to a rack system. We decided since the Yamaha product was robust and didn't give us any issues we picked the TF-Rack mixer for replacement. After a slow learning period on my part I finally with the help from the Sweetwater representative I finally started to understand the setup difference between and analog system and a digital system mixer. Our team are still learning how to fine tune each individual item on the mixer but we are well please with it's performance so far. In the future I see us adding Dante and a stagebox to shorten the runs on speakers and mics coming from the pulpit area.

Outstanding Product for a small church

I installed a Dante card and then used this unit to replace an analog mixer in a meeting room sound rack. One short Ethernet cord to attach a four-channel wireless receiver, hook up the amplifier, and it was ready to rock.

I love being able to adjust the sound from my iPad while sitting in the back of the room. Super easy to use.

Great Rack Mount Mixer

Works great, Dante added, 2 tio boxes. Touchscreen means I can actually mix from the rack if I so desire! Apps mean I don't have to if I don't want to. Made like a tank. Refreshing SERVICE, responsive.help. It's all there

Just great

I love this mixer! I have dabbled with a few and I also own the Behringer XR16. This is by far a better unit than that Behringer. The preamps are way better. Everything is so clean and it is very easy to navigate and mix. The Behringer does have a lot more effects to choose from so that is one thing that I wish Yamaha had more of. Also with the Yamaha, I can only assign 2 effects at a time and with the Behringer I can assign 4. Overall though, the Yamaha is a better unit and if I had to but another one, it would be the Yamaha!!!!

This is one fantastic mixer

Runs 12 hours a day. Sometimes never powered off. 
Multiple user accounts with select controls for each user. This is most valuable feature for any install. Effects and scenes are easy to use.
Quick Tip YouTube tutorials are super useful.

Cons - 
- TF Editor window resizing doesn't support wide screens.
- No user access control in TF Editor.
- Scene recall buttons can be a disaster if you leave in admin account.
- Low stock. Extremely long wait times as of October 2022.
