Yamaha - DM7

Yamaha - DM7

The DM7 is a Dante-equipped versatile digital mixing console with unparalleled sound quality, ease of operation, and high reliability that make it perfect for a wide range of applications. The DM7 is configured with 24 + 4 faders and a 2 x 12” + 1 x 7” multi-touch screen.

Advanced GUI for intuitive control

The DM7 series advanced graphical user interface is an audio engineer’s delight, offering the ultimate in touch operation convenience that gives users instant intuitive access to the console’s impressive depth of functionality.

The Selected Channel View, which provides a list of operational information on the channel strip, retains the best aspects of previous GUI’s but with an updated operation format that requires fewer steps and less time than ever before.

The same familiar touch screen operation that you use in your daily life is now available on your mixer.

Advanced Selected Channel View and visible Overview

The DM7 series inherited the Selected Channel View and Overview from the RIVAGE PM series, but also features an updated, more intuitive operation, suitable for the increasing demands of the current state of the art. The Selected Channel View provides a list of important information for each individual channel, giving you quick access to the parameters you want to adjust. It also incorporates the advantages of touch panel operation to reduce the number of steps required to carry out tasks.

Overview, which enables analog console-like operation, is also still available. It lists information on multiple channels, allowing quick access to the parameters of the channel you’re using.

Your settings in your language

The DM7 series features a multi-language option for individual channel names enabling more comfortable and intuitive operation. Displaying the names of artists and instruments in native languages will also help operators with limited audio production or sound reinforcement experience to operate the system.

*Multi-language channel names can be inputted via the Editor or StageMix.

Functional and attractive layout

Strip lights illuminate fader surfaces to give engineers an advantage in darkened live venues. However, conventional mixing consoles have lacked a sense of uniformity with the strip lights often protruding unattractively. With the DM7 series, we designed the side pad connecting the strip light and fader surfaces with a smooth curve, creating a sense of unity. The shape of the side pad prevents light leakage from the strip light while serving as a guard to prevent accidental contact with USB memory sticks, knobs, etc.

Consistent user experience

Mixing engineers must set up, and create the best sound possible within a tight timeframe, but because the environment and equipment used varies from venue to venue, a console that is difficult to operate can increase workload. The DM7 series layout of buttons and knobs, functions, and graphics all adopt interface standards from other Yamaha series mixers for a familiar feel.

The DM7 series also inherits the smooth lines of the RIVAGE PM, CL, and QL consoles achieving a consistent design in terms of both operability and modeling.

Compact and lightweight construction for easy setup and transport

Ease of transport and a fast setup are among the most important features for mixing consoles in most environments and applications. With the DM7 series, the angle of the display, the pitch of the faders and buttons, and the position of the strip lights have all been carefully designed to maintain the high operability and visibility of the display in a compact chassis. The DM7 Compact can also be rack-mounted by removing the side pads, making the most of limited space at live sites.
