AXR4 Operation Manual 3
Introduction
Message from the Development Team
Thank you for choosing the AXR4 Audio Interface.
The AXR4 is our flagship audio interface model, developed from the perspective of audio
engineers for use in professional music production.
The “sound” is the most vital component for an audio interface. The microphone preamp acts as a
core foundation in producing this sound. This preamp is based on an analog “AXR Preamplifier”
perfecting a traditional, natural soundscape attained by the development team, and a digital
“hybrid microphone preamp” that further evolves Yamaha’s proprietary modeling technology, VCM
(Virtual Circuitry Modeling).
Analog I/O components use AD/DA circuits that support up to 32-bit integer resolutions and
384 kHz sample rate to capture and reproduce the rich aural sounds produced by performers and
vocalists without a loss in quality.
The digital section faithfully recreates the Rupert Neve Designs
® transformer circuit in addition to
employing the renowned Silk processing models in Rupert Neve Designs’s microphone preamp.
The Silk processing can be applied in two variations to match the atmosphere of the tune or the
music source: Silk Blue for a vintage sound that produces a solid, powerful expression, and Silk
Red offering rich, exuberant sound brimming with musicality. Silk processing helps produce
graceful, defined sounds with an analog-like texture. The unique feeling of compression and
saturation this introduces to a piece is unlike that found anywhere else.
Silk processing is incorporated to reproduce the feeling in an artist’s performance and the original,
pure sound produced by an instrument at a level never heard before. To achieve this, circuits on
board the AXR4 are tuned to an obsessive degree of precision in order to deliver a level of sound
quality that is leaps and bounds beyond what conventional audio interfaces offer.
The AXR4 provides a rich array of I/O connectors in order to flexibly meet a broad range of
requirements from professional audio engineers. Similarly, a full matrix mixer has been
incorporated into the device to adequately meet a diverse set of monitoring and system-related
requirements. The drivers processing these I/O signals have also undergone major improvements,
providing both low latency and stable performance. As with the microphone preamp, SSPLL™
(Super Suppression PLL) is also provided in the form of an analog/digital hybrid type PLL
architecture. By tuning jitters in the digital section with the analog section, super low jitter levels
and high levels of stability are delivered.
Beyond just hardware improvements, major usability improvements have been introduced into our
packaged software applications, including a complete overhaul of Extension controlling AXR4 from
Cubase.
There are no limits to human creativity. We sincerely hope that the AXR4 opens up the potential for
new developments in the field of professional studio audio engineering, and it would give us the
greatest pleasure to see this product usher forth a new level of musical production and cultural
achievement.

Cautions for Rack-mounting
This product has been tested to function at a
room temperature of 0 – 40°C. When mounting
this product together with other devices into
an EIA-standard rack, the product may not be
able to deliver sufficient performance due to
the increased temperature caused by the heat
produced by other devices. Mount this
product in a rack under the following
conditions to ensure that heat does not build
up.
•Leave at least 1U of space empty both
above and below the product. Ensure that
empty spaces are properly ventilated by
installing a ventilation panel or allowing for
open air exposure.
•Open up the rear of the rack and separate
the rack from the wall by at least 10 cm to
ensure proper ventilation. If this is not
possible, install a commercially available fan
kit or other such forced ventilation device.
Note that when installing a fan kit, closing off
the rear of the rack may help improve heat
loss. For more information, see the owner’s
manuals for your rack and fan kit.

Normally, set this to SuperSpeed (USB 3.1
Gen 1) and connect the interface to a USB 3.0
port on your computer.
High-Speed (USB 2.0) has a more narrow
transmission bandwidth than SuperSpeed
(USB 3.1 Gen 1), and therefore there are
fewer channels available when using a
sample rate of 176.4kHz or higher (page 75).
Using a USB 2.0 port on your computer or
using a USB 2.0 cable will also result in fewer
channels available.
NOTE
•The actual data transmission speed between a
computer is displayed in the upper right corner of the
screen. When communicating at High-Speed even
though the USB MODE is set to SuperSpeed,
“!USB2.0!” is displayed in the upper right corner of the
screen, and the text “SuperSpeed” flashes.
•When using SuperSpeed (USB 3.1 Gen 1) the sound
might cut out during audio recording/playback,
depending on the USB host controller installed on the
computer. If this happens, try changing to High-Speed
(USB 2.0).
•When using High-Speed (USB 2.0) you may not be
able to set a sample rate of 88.2kHz or higher,
depending on the USB host controller installed on the
computer.
•If the AXR4U is connected to dspMixFx AXR or
Cubase, you cannot change the USB MODE setting.
Close dspMixFx AXR or Cubase.
