Yamaha DSP5D Manual Do Utilizador

The PM5D provides the following input channels and out-
put channels.

❏ Input channels

This section processes input signals and sends them to the 
STEREO bus or MIX buses. There are three types of input 
channel, as follows.

These channels are used to process monaural signals. 
By default, the input signals from the monaural analog 
input jacks (INPUT jacks 1–48) are assigned to these 
channels.

These channels are used to process stereo signals. By 
default, the input signals from the stereo analog input 
jacks (ST IN jacks 1–4) are assigned to these channels.

These channels are used mainly to process the return 
signals (stereo) from the internal effects. By default, the 
left/right output channels of internal effects 1 through 
4 are assigned to these channels.

❏ Output channels

This section mixes the signals sent from input channels 
etc., and sends them to the corresponding output jacks or 
output buses. There are three types of output channel, as 
follows.

These channels process signals sent from input chan-
nels to MIX buses. In the initial state, output signals are 
assigned to MIX OUT jacks 1–24. These channels are 
used mainly for foldback or as sends to external effects. 
The signals of MIX channels 1–24 can also be sent to 
the STEREO bus or MATRIX buses.

These process the signals sent from MIX channels or 
STEREO A/B channels to MATRIX buses, and output 
them from the MATRIX OUT jacks. This allows MIX 
channels or STEREO A/B channels to be mixed at the 
desired balance for output.

These process the signals sent from input channels or 
MIX channels, and output them to STEREO OUT 
jacks A/B. These channels are used as the main stereo 
outputs. Normally, the same signal is sent from the 
STEREO A and B channels. However, it is also possible 
to use the STEREO B channel as the center channel for 
three-channel L/C/R playback.

The DSP5D is a digital signal processing (DSP) system 
expanding the inputs and outputs of the PM5D.

• Its audio processing capability is equivalent to that of 

the PM5D-RH. As analog audio input/output jacks, it 
provides INPUT jacks 1–48, ST IN jacks 1–4, and 
OMNI OUT jacks 1–24.

• Up to two DSP5D units can be cascade-connected to 

one PM5D. By connecting it with DSP5D units, the 
PM5D system can be expanded to a maximum of 168 
channels of input (144 channels + 12 ST).

• By switching the control target on the PM5D, the 

DSP5D can be seamlessly controlled in the same way as 
the PM5D itself.

• You can use DSP5D Editor application software to 

remotely control and edit the parameters of the 
DSP5D. Only Windows computers are supported.

• The DSP5D can be connected to a Yamaha DCU5D 

digital cabling unit and placed on stage, and operated 
remotely from the PM5D.

• The front panel provides two slots in which you can 

install separately sold mini-YGDAI cards to add inputs 
and outputs in a variety of digital formats.

About the connectors: Since the DSP5D does not have 
the functionality for the connectors with which DSP5D 
is not equipped, these functions and connectors are not 
shown in the screen of the PM5D or DSP5D Editor.
