Yamaha PM5D V2
Digital Mixing Console
The PM5D is a great live sound console, its quality and reliability has made it the world's first choice of large digital mixer. Despite its maturity and popularity, the large user base of discerning professional engineers always wanted to add more features to suit their many different applications. The PM5D V2 is the result. it's loaded with new features grounded in actual day-to-day experience ranging from subtle refinements to seriously notable innovations. And owners of the original PM5D aren't excluded from the good news: a free firmware update, downloadable from Yamaha's Pro Audio website, will bring any existing PM5D up to the PM5D V2 specification.
The PM5D V2 offers every processing facility you'll ever need onboard. Every input channel has 4-band EQ plus a high pass filter, a separate gate and compressor, and delay of up to 1000 milliseconds. The stereo and mix outs have 8-band EQ, compressor, and delay. The matrix outs have 4-band EQ, compressor and delay. The cue and monitor outs even include a useful 1000 millisec delay. But the PM5D V2 doesn't stop there! It features twenty 31-band GEQs or a combination of 12 GEQs and eight independent VCM type or SPX2000-class multi-effect processors that can be patched into any of the console's input, stereo, mix, or matrix channels, offering a comprehensive range of reverb, delay, modulation, and combination effects. The PM5D V2 also comes with Yamaha's incomparable ADDON EFFECTS built in! You have immediate access to acclaimed REV-X Reverb programs as well as the Compressor276, Compressor260 and EQ601 programs from the AE-011 Channel Strip package and the Open Deck programs from the AE-021 Master Strip package. The PM5D's eight SPX2000-class internal effect processors offer a vast amount of DSP power. But since not every application requires full use of eight powerful effect processors, some of that power may be diverted. In version 2 that potential can be put to good use in providing additional insertable graphic and parametric EQ units. The PM5D V2 offers a plentiful supply of independent equalizers with new narrower Q settings for input and output processing, but every engineer runs up against situations in which no amount of EQ seems to be enough. That's where the expanded EQ capability provided by this new feature will really shine.
