Critic Reviews

Yamaha 01V

soundonsound.com

The Yamaha 01V Digital Mixer impresses with its affordable price and robust features, acting as a simplified version of the higher-end 03D. While lacking full dynamic automation, it offers snapshot automation and requires a MIDI sequencer for complete control. Boasting a familiar interface, onboard effects, and flexible connectivity, it delivers a commendable user experience. The mixer is particularly noted for its powerful EQ and dynamics processing capabilities, although minor quirks in the interface and monitoring could potentially confuse users. Overall, the 01V stands as a versatile and cost-effective choice for a wide range of users looking to embrace digital mixing.
