FEATURES:

IN THE 30 YEARS OR SO THAT HAVE ELAPSED SINCE THE FIELD OF "SOUND REINFORCEMENT" BEGAN TO EVOLVE FROM THE SIMPLE PA SYSTEMS THAT WERE THE NORM THROUGHOUT THE 60'S AND EARLY 70'S, YAMAHA HAS MADE SIGNIFICANT STRIDES FORWARD. THE VERY FIRST PM CONSOLE, INTRODUCED WAY BACK IN '72, WAS A FRONT-LINE CONTENDER IN THE FIELD WITH SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE AND FEATURES. THE PM1000 AND THEN THE PM2000 SET NEW STANDARDS OF QUALITY. THE PM4000 BECAME THE DE-FACTO INDUSTRY STANDARD. EACH NEW MODEL IN THE PM SERIES HAS TRADITIONALLY BUILT UPON AND AUGMENTED THE STRENGTHS OF ITS PREDECESSOR, ADDING NEW FEATURES AND FUNCTIONALITY THAT BECAME THE TEMPLATES THAT OTHERS WOULD FOLLOW - THE MATRIX MIX SYSTEM INTRODUCED ON THE PM1000 AND THE PM3000'S VCAS ARE PERFECT EXAMPLES. IN A SENSE, YAMAHA HAS LED THE FIELD OF MODERN CONSOLE DESIGN AND PRODUCTION ALL THE WAY. THE SAME CAN BE SAID OF THE INCREDIBLE PM1D ALL-DIGITAL CONSOLE, WHICH HAS ESSENTIALLY DEFINED THE ROLE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY IN SOUND REINFORCEMENT FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. THE EVOLUTION CONTINUES TO THIS DAY.

THE PM5000 IS SIMPLY THE MOST ADVANCED ANALOG SOUND REINFORCEMENT CONSOLE IN ITS CLASS. IT IS A "PURE ANALOG" CONSOLE IN THE AUDIO SENSE, AND IT BORROWS FREELY FROM THE WORLD OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY TO GIVE YOU UNPRECEDENTED CONTROL FLEXIBILITY AND EFFICIENCY. THE PM5000 IS THE CULMINATION OF YAMAHA'S EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE IN MANY AREAS — PROFESSIONAL CONSOLE DESIGN AND PRODUCTION, CONTROL INTERFACE DESIGN, AND OF COURSE SOUND ITSELF. THERE'S REALLY ONLY ONE CHOICE IF YOU NEED THE BEST IN TERMS OF CAPACITY, VERSATILITY, RELIABILITY, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, UNMATCHED SOUND QUALITY: THE YAMAHA PM5000.

35-BUS CONFIGURATION FOR FOH AND MONITOR APPLICATIONS

THE 35 BUSES THAT MAKE UP THIS EXTRAORDINARILY VERSATILE CONFIGURATION INCLUDE 12 STEREO AUXILIARY BUSES, 8 GROUP/AUXILIARY BUSES, A STEREO BUSS, AND MONO (CENTER) BUS. THE 8 GROUP/AUXILIARY BUSES CAN BE SWITCHED FOR GROUP OR AUXILIARY OPERATION IN PAIRS. WHETHER CONFIGURED AS 12 STEREO AND 8 GROUP BUSES FOR FOH OPERATION, OR AS 32 (12 STEREO + 8 MONO) AUXILIARY BUSES FOR MONITOR APPLICATIONS, YOU GET TOTAL CONVENIENCE, QUALITY, AND CONTROL. WHEN SET UP AS GROUP BUSES YOU CAN SELECT EITHER THE INPUT-CHANNEL PRE- OR POST-PAN SIGNAL AS THE SOURCE. AND SINCE THE STEREO AUXILIARY MASTER SECTIONS FEATURE L+R SWITCHES, THEY CAN BE USED AS MONO SENDS, AS REQUIRED.

12 VCA GROUPS AND 12 (4 STEREO + 8 MONO) MIX MATRIX

ANOTHER YAMAHA INNOVATION THAT HAS BEEN EXPANDED IN THE PM5000 IS VCA GROUPING. 12 VCA GROUP SWITCHES NEXT TO EACH CHANNEL FADER ENABLE THAT CHANNEL TO BE ASSIGNED TO AND CONTROLLED BY ONE OR MORE OF THE CONSOLE’S FULL-LENGTH VCA MASTER FADERS. THE VCA MASTER FADERS CONTROL THE ASSIGNED INPUT CHANNELS DIRECTLY AS WELL AS THE RELATED POST-FADER AUXILIARY SEND LEVELS. AND, OF COURSE, THE PM5000 EMPLOYS THE FINEST VCAS AVAILABLE FOR UTTERLY TRANSPARENT CONTROL WITH NO DEGRADATION IN SIGNAL-TO-NOISE PERFORMANCE. THERE IS ALSO A 4 STEREO + 8 MONO MATRIX MIX SECTION FOR ALL 35 BUSES. IN MONO TERMS YOU HAVE A TOTAL OF 16 POSSIBLE MATRIX SUB-MIXES FOR LARGE SYSTEM APPLICATIONS.

VARIABLE SUM GAIN CONTROLS

PREVIOUSLY, WHEN OVERLOAD OR CLIPPING OCCURRED AT A CONSOLE’S SUMMING AMPLIFIERS – PRIOR TO THE MASTER FADERS ON ALL BUSES – IT WAS NECESSARY TO ADJUST THE INPUT CHANNEL FADER AND/OR HEAD AMPLIFIER LEVELS OF ALL RELATED CHANNELS. YAMAHA’S NEW SUM GAIN CONTROL PROVIDES VARIABLE 0 THROUGH 20DB ATTENUATION IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE CORRESPONDING SUMMING AMPLIFIERS, ELIMINATING THE NEED TO READJUST NUMEROUS CHANNEL LEVEL SETTINGS. ANOTHER ADVANTAGE OF THIS FEATURE IS THAT OPTIMUM INPUT LEVELS CAN BE MAINTAINED FOR PEAK SONIC PERFORMANCE.

STANDARD L-R OR L-C-R PANNING WITH CENTER-SIDE RATIO CONTROL

EVEN THE PM5000’S MAIN STEREO AND MONO BUSES CAN BE USED IN MORE THAN ONE WAY. ALL MONO INPUT CHANNELS CAN BE ASSIGNED TO THE STEREO MASTER BUS WITH NORMAL L-R PANNING AND/OR THE MONO MASTER BUS. THEY CAN ALSO BE ASSIGNED FOR L-C-R PANNING USING THE MONO BUS AS THE “C” BUS. WHEN L-C-R PANNING IS ENGAGED THE CSR (CENTER-SIDE RATIO) CONTROL CAN BE USED TO ADJUST THE L-C-R PANNING CURVE FOR OPTIMUM POSITIONING OF SOUND IN ANY VENUE.

REFINED EQ RESPONSE

THE PM5000’S 4-BAND FULLY-PARAMETRIC CHANNEL EQUALIZERS HAVE BEEN REFINED AND UPDATED TO PROVIDE THE KIND OF WARM, NATURAL RESPONSE TODAY’S ENGINEERS PREFER. THE EMINENTLY “MUSICAL” RESPONSE OF THESE EQUALIZERS MEANS YOU ACHIEVE THE SOUND YOU WANT EASILY WITHOUT HARSHNESS OR “EDGINESS”.
