Digital sound console, 48 mono channels, 4 stereo channels, 24 bus outputs and 8 digital outputs in addition to the general matrix stereo ..
Mono and stereo channels offer a motorized fader and encoder also assignable motorized pan, fader, a level of 24 outputs "bus" to be defined in the "Encode Mode" console and has a crown Led and an activation key. Mode "flip" (watch the heads up!) To exchange functionally encoder and slider.
On each track, there are also buttons Pre, which are used when the encoders are assigned to start effects, "Salt", channel selection on the central section (general, various assignments ..), "Chanel On" (activation track) and "Cue" (no comment ..).
Channels also have many mini-LEDs indicate the signal is sent to the Stereo "To St", activation and activity of the compressor and noise gate house, also present a small indicator of the type "bar graph" of level at 6 points around the button "On" indicator replaces the panel Meter physically present on other consoles, that being said, we can of course see all the levels on the integrated display of the PM5D-RH, they are much more accurate. Indicators "Dea" for a possible assignment of a channel has one of the 8 "AAA", "Mute" ditto for the groups of "Mute", "RCL Safe" (the path is not affected by the recall scenes) and Mute Safe. "
Each channel has a small screen "digit" handy showing the values (in dB) and above the fader assignment ..
The four stereo channels are functionally identical to the mono channels, except that their VU meter has two scales LEDs ..
The master track called "Select Channel" takes a very clear provision and adopt numerical indicators clearly visible in green for the equalizer, or red for the treatment of dynamic assignments to "AAA" and group "Mute" , setting the value of delay, the cutoff frequencies of high pass filter, EQ, etc. ..
Some highlights, for more info, visit the manufacturer's site ..
UTILIZATION
Use of this Yamaha is after all relatively simple, more on the key "User Key" you can create a lot of shortcuts and instant access very quickly to functions normally requiring some additional operations.
SOUNDS
It sounds pretty good this console, pre amps are very good and better than the PM5D "base", there is good headroom. The onboard effects are different than sufficient for use in live and can be self Similarly, different parametric EQs per channel or graphics output, are also effective but not exceptional either. Onboard compressors and gates on them are perfectly usable for a board that does not require a "big sound" ..
OVERALL OPINION
I have so much work done on this console that I inherently difficult to say anything bad, as said above it sounds good, certainly much better than her sisters DM 2000, M7CL and consort, more it is particularly robust and is obviously designed for touring. It remains stable under all circumstances of use, which is not true of all digital consoles far from it.
