Yamaha M7CL 3, 4, 5, 1, 2

M7CL Owner’s Manual

Setup items required when you start up the M7CL for the first time

For example, the following illustration shows the

OVERVIEW screen for INPUT channels 1–8. The

knobs of the HA/PHASE ﬁeld indicate the amount of

HA gain for each channel.

1HA/PHASE ﬁeld

3Press a knob in the HA/PHASE ﬁeld of the

screen to select it.

When you press a knob shown in the OVERVIEW

screen, a bold frame is displayed around the horizontal

row of knobs of the same type. This frame indicates

the you can use the multifunction encoders of the Cen-

tralogic section to operate the corresponding knobs.

4While performing on the mic or instrument,

use the Centralogic section’s multifunction

encoders 1–8 to adjust the HA gain of each

channel.

Adjust the level as high as possible without allowing

the OVER segment of the channel level meter in the

Centralogic section to light when the mic or instru-

ment is being played at its loudest volume.

The input level is also shown by the level meter of the

corresponding INPUT section or ST IN section.

5Use the navigation keys to switch the eight

channels controlled by the Centralogic sec-

tion, and adjust the gain for other input

channels in the same way.

This section explains how to adjust the gain to set the level

of the signal sent from an input channel to the STEREO

bus, and adjust the pan/balance so that the signal can be

monitored from external speakers connected to the STE-

REO channel. The following procedure lets you check

whether the connections from the mic or instrument to the

external speakers are appropriate.

In this case as well, you can either use the SELECTED

CHANNEL section to make settings for one channel at a

time, or use the Centralogic section to make settings for

up to eight channels at a time.

●Using the SELECTED CHANNEL section

(settings for one channel)

1Press the [SEL] key of the input channel

you want to control.

2Press one of the encoders in the

SELECTED CHANNEL section.

The SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen for the

selected channel will appear.

1TO ST PAN/BALANCE ﬁeld

• The PAD will be internally switched on or off when the HA

gain is adjusted between -14 dB and -13 dB. Keep in mind

that noise may be generated if there is a difference between

the Hot and Cold output impedance of the external device

connected to the INPUT connector when using phantom

power.

NOTE

•In the OVERVIEW screen you can also switch the head amp’s

phantom power on/off, and switch the phase between normal

and reverse. To do so, press the selected knob in the HA/

PHASE ﬁeld once again to access the popup window. (For
