1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a CBX-D5 Digital Recording Processor. Connecting the

CBX-D5 to a controlling computer with supporting software and an external hard disk will

provide up to four channels of CD quality audio recording, processing, and playback.

• 4-channel system: 2-channel simultaneous recording, 4-channel playback.

• A/D conversion: 16-bit linear ∆ Σ modulation.

• D/A conversion: 18-bit with 8-times oversampling digital ﬁlter.

• Multi-band parametric DEQ for each channel.

• DSP provides 82 different reverb and modulation type effects.

• 4-input, 4-bus, 2-send digital mixer.

• Sampling frequencies: 48kHz, 44.1kHz, 32kHz, (22.05kHz analog input only).

• Analog inputs and outputs use professional style XLR type connectors.

• Digital I/O includes AES/EBU, CD/DAT & Y2 Yamaha format.

• 10 minutes of stereo audio requires approximately 100MB hard disk (fs=44.1kHz).

• Total recording time can be increased by adding more SCSI hard disks.

• All audio data processing is carried out within the CBX-D5, so much less is demanded

of the computer, eliminating data bottlenecks and slow screen redraws.

• Host computer connection allows direct connection to a computer without a MIDI

interface.

The CBX-D5 is supplied with three manuals: this Operating Manual, the System Setup

Guide, and a Test Program manual.

This Operating Manual contains full details about the CBX-D5 Digital Recording

Processor: what it is, how it works, and how to use it. It also contains an index that will

allow you to locate information quickly, and also a glossary of CBX-D5 terminology.

The System Setup Guide describes how to set up a recording system using the current

supporting computers and music programs. From time to time this guide will be updated

using single sheet supplements. Please see your Yamaha dealer for the latest supplement.

The Test Program manual should be used in conjunction with the Har dware Test Program

Disk for testing the CBX-D5 hardware.
