Yamaha M3000-24, M3000-40C

Features of the system

• The M3000-40C provides a generous number of input

modules; 40 monaural and 4 stereo (the M3000-24

provides 24 monaural and 4 stereo). Stereo output, 16

mix outputs, and 8 matrix outputs are provided in

addition. The M3000 is suitable for use in a wide

range of applications, such as the main mixer for

sound reinforcement, as a monitor mixer, or in build-

ing installations.

• The GA Diversity function allows each pair of MIX

buses 1/2–7/8 to be switched between group bus

(ﬁxed output level from the input channels) and AUX

bus (variable output level from the input channels).

Bus conﬁguration can be set up as needed.

• The Scene Memory function allows the on/off status

of the mono/stereo input channels, MIX OUT 1–16,

and STEREO A OUT to be saved as one of 128

“scenes.” Scenes can be selected from the front panel,

or by MIDI program change messages from an exter-

nal device. In addition, MIDI control change mes-

sages transmitted from an external device can be used

to switch the individual on/off status of input chan-

nels or bus outputs channels.

• By modifying internal settings, Scene Memory num-

bers 1–8 can be used as mute groups. In this case, up

to eight mute (on/off) settings can be added/defeated

individually.

• Eight VCA master faders allow the gain of multiple

input channels to be controlled as a group. By group-

ing the desired input channels and assigning them to a

VCA master fader, you can adjust the mix as appropri-

ate for the on-state action using the VCA master fad-

ers alone.

• The mono input channels provide a 26 dB pad, HPF,

phase switch, four-band parametric EQ, and 100 mm

full stroke faders as well as DIRECT OUT jacks. Phan-

tom power is also provided, and can be switched on/

off individually.

• The M3000-40C features a center master design that

places the master section in the middle of the mixer

for superior operability.

• All input channels provide a PFL switch, and an AFL

switch is provided for MATRIX OUT 1–8/MIX OUT

1–16/STEREO A OUT/STEREO B OUT. This makes it

easy to check your input/output sources.

• Eight independent matrices are provided. The signals

from MIX OUT 1–16/STEREO A OUT and dedicated

input jacks can be mixed at the desired levels, and out-

put from MATRIX OUT jacks 1–8. This capability can

be used for foldback or as a mix for individual speak-

ers/amps.

• All mono input channels, stereo buses, and MIX buses

provide an INSERT I/O jack. External effect proces-

sors can be inserted as necessary.

• The talkback signal and test tone oscillators can be

sent to any of the MIX buses 1-2–13/16 or the stereo

buses.

• As monitor sources for the monitor output, you can

select (in addition to STEREO A OUT), PFL from the

input channels, AFL/PFL from MATRIX OUT 1–8/

MIX OUT 1–16/STEREO A OUT/STEREO B OUT, or

2TR IN 1/2.
