Yamaha TF5 32-Input Digital Mixing Console Networked Bundle with Yamaha NY64-D Dante I/O Expansion Card

Yamaha TF5 + NY64-D Networked Bundle: The 32-Input Digital Console With Stagebox-Ready Dante I/O

This bundle pairs the Yamaha TF5 32-input digital mixing console with the Yamaha NY64-D Dante I/O expansion card installed into the console’s rear expansion slot. The TF5 is Yamaha’s most-deployed install-and-live console — 48 mixing channels, 33 motorized faders, 32 D-PRE microphone preamps on XLR/TRS combo inputs, 16 XLR outputs, TouchFlow Operation, 1-Knob Compressor/EQ, 8 FX processors, 10 graphic EQs, 8 DCA groups with Roll-Out, and a 34x34 USB audio interface for multitrack recording into the included Nuendo Live DAW. The NY64-D adds 64 channels of input and 64 channels of output Dante networked audio at 24-bit / 48 kHz, with dual etherCON connectors for Primary + Secondary redundancy. The combination is the foundation of a networked AV system — pair with the Yamaha Tio1608-D stagebox and replace your 32-pair analog snake with one ethernet cable.

The Yamaha TF5: 32 D-PRE Preamps and TouchFlow Operation in One Console

Every XLR/TRS combo input on the TF5 has its own D-PRE microphone preamp — the same recallable preamp Yamaha ships in the higher-tier CL and QL series. D-PRE delivers high headroom, a smooth gain curve from -6 dB through +66 dB, and per-channel phantom power that recalls with the scene. The control surface is built on TouchFlow Operation: a high-resolution touchscreen with the Touch & Turn knob mounted directly beside it for precise rotary adjustment, four User Defined knobs for talkback or monitor levels, and the 1-Knob Operation feature that shapes compressor and EQ from a single rotary with library presets for lead vocals, backing vocals, drums, and guitars. This is the interface volunteer engineers learn in a single rehearsal — and the senior engineer can override any preset for the lead pastor’s specific voice from the same screen.

34x34 USB Audio Interface, Virtual Soundcheck, and Nuendo Live for Multitrack Recording

The TF5 is also a 34x34 channel USB 2.0 audio interface. Plug one USB-B cable into a Mac or Windows computer and the console becomes a full multitrack recording rig — Class-Compliant on Mac, ASIO on Windows, with Steinberg Nuendo Live included for live multitrack capture out of the box. The Virtual Soundcheck feature plays the recorded multitrack back into the console at the next rehearsal as if the band were on stage, so the engineer can ring out monitors and rehearse scene changes without a single musician in the room. Two-track WAV recording to a USB storage drive captures complete shows and sermons independently for archive and broadcast use.

The NY64-D Dante Card: 64 In / 64 Out, Two etherCON Ports, Redundancy-Ready

The NY64-D drops into the TF5’s rear expansion slot and adds 64 channels of Dante audio networking input and 64 channels of output at 24-bit / 48 kHz — uncompressed, full resolution, lossless across the network. Two etherCON RJ-45 connectors on the rear panel give the console either a Dante Primary + Secondary redundant topology for production-critical live work, or a daisy-chain configuration that feeds a second console, recorder, or I/O rack from the same card. Configuration takes minutes through the free Audinate Dante Controller software — every input on every device on the network can be patched to every output with a click.

One Ethernet Cable Replaces the 32-Pair Analog Snake

The most common deployment of this bundle is with the Yamaha Tio1608-D stagebox — a 1U rack unit with 16 D-PRE mic/line inputs and 8 outputs, also Dante. Mount the Tio1608-D in a stage-side rack, run one Cat5e or Cat6 ethernet cable back to the TF5 at FOH, and the band’s mic signals reach the console with the same D-PRE preamps and the same 24-bit conversion as if the mics were plugged directly into the console. The traditional analog snake is replaced by one piece of network cable. Add a second Tio1608-D for 32 inputs, or scale to three Tio1608-D2 units for a 48 mic/line input + 24 output system on a single TF5 console.

iPad + Windows Tablet + Android Remote Control From Anywhere in the Room

The TF5 connects to a Wi-Fi network through its rear network port and accepts remote control from three Yamaha apps. TF Editor (Mac/Windows) is a full editor that mirrors the console surface and pre-loads scenes offline. StageMix (iPad) is the engineer’s remote for walking the room and ringing out monitor wedges from where the band is actually standing. MonitorMix (iOS/Android) gives individual musicians control of their own in-ear monitor mix on their own phones. The combination ends the era of FOH engineers shouting cues across the room — one TF5 plus NY64-D bundle is a complete distributed audio workflow for a working venue.

Who This Bundle Is For

This is the bundle for the house of worship A/V team adding Dante stagebox connectivity to their TF5 install, for the theater audio designer eliminating the multi-snake run under the stage trap, for the school auditorium replacing an aging analog board and an aging snake at the same time, for the pro AV integrator networking the TF console into a Dante-enabled facility, and for the live sound rental company standardizing on Dante across multiple consoles. The first-time digital buyer gets a console that volunteer engineers can run with one rehearsal of training — already wired to expand. The upgrader from older Yamaha analog or QU-class digital gets recall, scene memory, multitrack recording, networked stagebox I/O, and remote control all in one purchase. The comparison shopper gets D-PRE preamps on every channel, 8 DCA groups with Roll-Out, Dante redundancy, and a 34x34 USB interface — features that anchor real production work for the next decade. Order the bundle today and put a complete networked-audio system on the desk.
