The Yamaha n12 Digital Mixing Studio is a mixing console with an analog-like mixing
interface which boasts ease of operation for professional quality recording and
mixdown. Connecting a computer to the mixer’s IEEE 1394 port enables you to configure
an ideal recording environment with seamless integration into Cubase 4.
The mixer can handle up to 12 analogue channel inputs, mixing them to stereo outputs
and the 16 in/out FireWire connection to record them in a DAW. Each monaural input
jack features an XLR jack with a phantom power supply and a newly developed compressor
that adopts Sweet Spot Morphing technology with various compressor presets. One input
supports Hi-Z input for direct connection of an electric guitar or bass. All input
channels feature a full 3-band (high/mid/low) equalizer and share a built-in digital
reverb.
For monitoring purposes you can connect three monitoring speakers (each
stereo) to the mixer. If a computer is connected to the n12, you can monitor the sound
from Cubase or another DAW in a 5.1 surround sound environment.
With Cubase AI 4 a special version of Cubase 4 is included in the package so that
you are ready to plug in and record.
