Comment from Shure Matt Engstrom, Category Director, Wired Products
“We’re thrilled to be offering QuickPro presets of our most popular SM, Beta,
KSM and PG Alta microphones in the new TF mixer. When you combine Shure’s 90 years of microphone
experience with the versatile new TF digital mixer and exceptional Yamaha speakers, these presets allow
engineers at any level of experience to leverage our combined technical expertise for quick, simple and
effective sound checks and performances that sound amazing. Engineers can focus on mixing great quality
audio instead of chasing problems. It’s an incredibly powerful solution.”
Working with microphone manufacturers such as Audio-Technica, Sennheiser and
Shure as well as respected engineers, and evaluating a large number of
microphones, musical instruments, speaker systems, and in-ear monitors, the Yamaha R&D
team focused on creating a range of shortcuts to great sound that would be effective in a wide
variety of live-sound situations. Armed with these practical presets even the novice engineer can
get very close to the ideal sound, while experienced engineers will appreciate the significant time
savings they can provide starting points for further adjustments.
The QuickPro Presets can be searched by instrument type and recalled quickly and easily. The
presets include HA gain, EQ, Comp and other settings, right down to the channel name and
color. The 1-knob EQ and 1-knob COMP can be used with QuickPro Presets, providing a super
streamlined way to tweak the sound.
The output channel preset library includes parameter sets optimized for Yamaha powered
speakers, with several variations to match different environments and room sizes. Presets are
provided for in-ear monitors too. All of these can be used as is when time is tight, but they are
also great starting points for manual fine tuning. Setups created from the presets or from scratch
can be saved as additional presets too.

The scene memory features banks A and B, each capable of holding up to 100 scenes.
That’s a total of 200 scenes that can be set up and instantly recalled whenever needed.
A number of scenes are pre-programmed to give users a head start: scenes with the 1-knob
COMP and 1-knob EQ controls engaged for the easiest possible operation, and scenes with
the 1-knob features disabled for experienced engineers who might want to follow an established
procedure. The banks are great for organizing different types of scenes: one for scenes
categorized by music type, and the other by event type, for example.

“The presets in the Yamaha TF series digital mixers provide users with an accurate indication of how to
set the EQ for a wide variety of instrument/microphone combin ations. These preset functions give
the sound technician a solid basis to start from. All that is need ed is to adapt the EQ-ing to the specific
room and the instruments.”
