Yamaha PM5D, Digital Mixing Console manual Also Worthy Of Note …, Libraries

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. Here’s a list of the available libraries:

Name	Number	Total
Scene Memory	Preset 1 + User 500	501
Input Patch Library	Preset 1 + User 99	100
Output Patch Library	Preset 1 + User 99	100
Input Channel Library	Preset 1 + User 199	200
Output Channel Library	Preset 1 + User 199	200
Input EQ Library	Preset 40 + User 159	199
Output EQ Library	Preset 3 + User 196	199
GATE Library	Preset 4 + User 195	199
COMP Library	Preset 36 + User 163	199
Effect Library	Preset 54 + User 145	199
GEQ Library	Preset 1 + User 199	200
HA Library	Preset 1 + User 199	200

Also Worthy Of Note …

We could go on and on, but here are just a few more features you might find useful.

HA REMOTE Control Output

This connector provides control signals for remote control of an external microphone preamplifier such as the Yamaha AD8HR 8-channel A/D microphone preamplifier.

The AD8HR’s mic preamp gain can be remotely controlled in steps of 1dB directly from the PM5D. There’s also a high pass filter and phantom power supply integrated into each channel that can be turned on and off by remote control. The filter’s cut-off frequency is also remotely adjustable.

This Head Amp Remote Control function makes it possible for the AD8HR to be used as a stage box. In addition to the many advantages that this offers, digital connection of the AD8HR and PM5D using an AES/EBU cable reduces analog wiring requirements to the bare minimum.

Internal Oscillator

The internal oscillator provides 100Hz, 1kHz, and 10kHz sine-wave signals as well as pink and burst noise. Sine waves of different frequencies can be sent to the left and right channels for effective setup checks.

GPI Interface

A 4-input 12-output General Purpose Interface is provided on PM5D to provide control interoperability with a wide range of sound and studio equipment – fader start and talk back on/off are just two examples. The USER ASSIGNABLE KEYS can be assigned to trigger appropriate output signals, and continuous input capability allows the PM5D to be controlled by external equipment.

MS Decoding

Vertical Pairing

In addition to standard odd-even channel pairing, the PM5D allows “vertical pairing” in which adjacent channels on different layers can be operated in tandem – channels 1 and 25, for example.

MIXER SETUP

Word Clock

The PM5D can be used as either word clock master or slave to allow effective integration with any type of digital audio system up to 96-kHz.

Internal Effect Processors

PM5D is equipped with eight independent SPX2000-class multi- effect processors that can be patched into any of the console’s input, stereo, mix, or matrix channels, offering a comprehensive range of reverb, delay, modulation, and combination effects.

The PM5D is also ready to use Yamaha’s incomparable Add- on Effects that were first introduced for DM2000 and 02R96 digital mixers … in fact, the REV- X Reverb is included in the PM5D by default. You can use other popular programs like Compressor276, Compressor260, EQ601 and Open Deck by purchasing the Channel Strip and Master Strip packages.

HA LIBRARY

Operation Lock

The Operation Lock function prevents accidental or

inadvertent operation by requiring a password for access.

Built-in MS decoding eliminates the need for external matrix transformers for MS microphones when working with MS-encoded source material.

WORD CLOCK

MIDI Remote

The PM5D features MIDI IN, OUT and THRU connectors that can be connected to external MIDI equipment to allow transmission and reception of MIDI control signals.

Graphic Equalizers

The PM5D provides twelve 31-band graphic equalizers for output processing. The graphic equalizers are ideal for use whether you need a subtle overall response adjustment or a more dramatic boost or cut in a limited frequency range. Each equalizer also features a spectrum analyzer display. For easy setup the console’s DCA faders can be assigned to directly adjust the GEQ bands in 8-band groups via the FADER MODE keys.

M/S DECODE

Mix Minus

Mix Minus makes it possible to instantly remove a specified channel from the mix – a common example from the broadcast field would be removing an announcer from a mix.
