A N ew D i m e n si o n In Digital Live So u nd A lot has changed in the past few years – with more than a little help from Yamaha. Where analog consoles were the only accepted means of handling serious sound reinforcement applications, high-performance digital consoles such as the Yamaha PM1D now share the limelight with their analog brothers such as the PM4000, and more recently the PM5000.
The Ya m a h a D i g i t a l A dvan tage Model PM5D or PM5D-RH: A Choice Of Two Configurations Customers have a choice of two front-end configurations. The PM5D includes 48 XLR/balanced TRS analog mono inputs with manual mic preamps based on the circuitry found in the Yamaha DM2000, plus an additional 4 stereo line level inputs.
Elegant, Efficient, and Eminently Practical Everything you need for hands-on mix control is right where you need it. The PM5D’s physical control surface offers direct access to all of the major functions you’re likely to need for just about any real-world application. Input Patching outputs to be patched to appropriate I/O points and you can also assign and display channel names for easy identification.
Flexibility To Create The Ideal Mix For Any Application In addition to dual stereo mix buses that can be used together for LCR send, the PM5D offers 24 independent mix buses that you can use for submix, auxiliary, effect, or just about any other type of send your application requires … all with master mix control as well as individual mix send level control from all available inputs.
Comprehensive Monitoring Facilities Level Meters Staying in touch with your sound is vital to creating the perfect mix. The PM5D’s in-depth cue, monitor and metering facilities that let you hear what’s happening at any point in the mix with maximum ease and efficiency. A complete set of level meters is provided on the console panel. Layer select keys let you monitor input channels 1 through 24 or input channels 25 through 48 plus the stereo inputs or effect returns.
Details That Make the Job a Pleasure DIRECT RECALL/ MUTE MASTER These are the features that make a difference in workflow and efficiency. On the PM5D they attest to the fact that Yamaha has really listened to feedback from the field, and implemented refinements that make sense in real-world applications. Lamp Dimmer and LED, LCD Brightness Control The lamp dimmer controls the brightness of the LA5000 light gooseneck. Parameter visibility can be an issue, depending on your work environment.
Libraries Setting up the entire PM5D system from scratch can be a formidable task, so Yamaha has provided an extensive selection of presets in a range of libraries that can simply be selected and used as they are or modified to suit specific requirements. Of course, your own setups can be added to the libraries for instant recall whenever they are needed.
Comp l et e S o f t wa r e C o n trol O ptions As with other Yamaha digital consoles, editor application software is provided to PM5D users. The PM5D Editor is designed for the offline programming and on-line control, with comprehensive analog-style visual representation of the PM5D controls. The PM5D Editor will run on Windows XP and Mac OSX (10.2 or later) compatible computers connected to the PM5D via USB. The PM5D’s real I/O versatility comes in the form of four mini-YGDAI expansion slots.
System Examples 1. Remote Microphone Preamplifer Control 3. Cascaded PM5D Consoles Using MY-series expansion cards and the PM5D’s HA REMOTE outputs, it is possible to receive input from and remotely control up to eight high- Two PM5D consoles can easily be connected with bidirectional control capability. performance Yamaha AD8HR 8-channel A/D microphone preamplifiers. If you don’t need bidirectional control you can cascade up to four PM5Ds.
