Yamaha DSP5D Manual Do Utilizador

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha PM5D digital mixing console and/or Yamaha DSP5D digital mixing system. In order 
to take full advantage of the PM5D/DSP5D’s superior functionality and enjoy years of trouble-free use, please read this man-
ual before you begin using the product. After you have read the manual, keep it in a safe place.

The PM5D is an expandable digital mixing console with the following features.

❏ Full digital SR mixing system

The PM5D is a full-digital SR mixing console that takes 
advantage of cutting-edge digital audio processing technol-
ogy. 24-bit linear AD/DA converters are used to deliver up 
to 110 dB of dynamic range and amazing sound quality. As 
input channels, it provides 48 monaural channels, four ste-
reo channels, and four stereo channels for effect return. As 
output channels, it provides 24 MIX channels, eight 
MATRIX channels, and two STEREO channels. The PM5D 
can be used in a wide range of applications. You can assign 
desired channels to be controlled by the eight DCA faders 
on the panel, and use them as group faders.

❏ PM5D model and PM5D-RH model

In addition to the standard PM5D model that provides 
manual control of the head amp for each input, the 
PM5D-RH model is also available, providing programma-
ble control of head amp input sensitivity and phantom 
power settings. You can choose the model appropriate for 
your situation and budget.

❏ Cutting-edge user interface

For the input channels and STEREO A/B channels, dedi-
cated channel strips are provided where you can operate 
the fader, pan, cue, and on/off controls. For MIX channels 
and MATRIX channels, encoders allow you to control the 
send level and master level. The PM5D allows quick and 
intuitive operation just as on an analog mixer. In addition, 
you can use the SELECTED CHANNEL section to manu-
ally control the principal parameters (delay, EQ, gate, 
compressor) of the desired channel.

❏ Eight effect modules / Twelve graphic 

Eight high-quality multi-effect modules are built in. Effects 
such as reverb, delay, multiband compressor, and various 
modulation effects can be routed via internal buses or 
inserted into the desired channel. 31-band graphic EQ 
(alternatively, 8-band parametric EQ) can also be inserted 
into any channel or any output.

❏ Add-On effects provided as standard

As effect types, the channel strip package (COMP276/276S, 
COMP260/260S, EQ601), master strip package (OPEN 
DECK), and reverb package (REV-X) are provided as 
standard.

❏ Scene memories and libraries

Mix parameters and internal effect settings can be stored in 
memory as up to 500 scenes for immediate recall. Effects, 
input/output patching, input channel/output channel set-
tings, internal head amp (PM5D-RH model only) or 
external head amp settings can be stored in various librar-
ies, independently of scenes.

❏ Digital cascade connection

Up to four PM5D units, or one PM5D and one Yamaha 
DM2000/02R96 unit, can be cascade-connected to share 
buses in the digital domain. In particular when PM5D 
units are cascaded together, operations such as scene sav-
ing and recall can also be linked. DME64N can also be used 
as inserts or as extended signal processors via a cascade 
connection.

❏ Surround panning

Surround pan functionality allows multi-channel playback 
systems to be used, letting you place the signal of an input 
channel in two-dimensional space, or move the sound 
image forward/backward and left/right. 3-1ch, 5.1ch, and 
6.1ch surround modes are available.

❏ I/O card expansion

The rear panel provides four slots in which separately sold 
mini-YGDAI cards can be installed. AD cards, DA cards, or 
digital I/O cards can be installed in these slots to add inputs 
and outputs.

❏ Expansion via the DSP5D

A maximum of two DSP5D digital mixing systems can be 
cascade-connected to a PM5D to expand the inputs and 
outputs. You can also connect a Yamaha DCU5D digital 
cabling unit between the PM5D and DSP5D, and locate the 
DSP5D remotely.
