We are pleased to introduce, Yamaha's latest innovation DM3 series of digital mixers to its professional audio lineup. With both Dante-compatible and non-Dante models available, Yamaha's new, most compact digital mixing consoles are versatile enough for a wide range of applications.
There are two DM3 mixers in the series - the DM3, which features Dante audio networking for quick and flexible connection to a wide range of compatible audio devices, and the DM3 Standard without Dante. Other than Dante provision, the features on both models are identical, featuring 16 mono, one stereo and two FX Return input mixing channels, plus six Mix Send, two FX Send, one stereo, and two matrix output mixing channels.
Despite its compact size, the DM3 series means users can do more by being suitable for many different applications. With custom fader banks and MonitorMix support for personal monitor mixing, it has a wide variety of live sound applications, anything from simple presentations and conferences to live bands and multi-performer events. The DM3 is also ideal as a sub-mixer for a Dante-compatible main console.
DM3 consoles include all the features needed for high quality streaming. With stereo and matrices, the audio routing gives users exceptional freedom and allows the creation of separate mixes for on-site and streaming sound.
Another key market for the DM3 series is in fixed installations. Both consoles support OSC and MIDI (via USB) general purpose external control protocols and User Account, User Defined Key and Custom Fader Bank can be used to configure settings for users. The consoles are compatible with Yamaha’s ProVisionaire software suite, which allows the creation of bespoke control panels, perfectly tailored to the needs of remote control and installation monitoring. Meanwhile, the optional RK-DM3 can be used to mount either unit in 13U of a standard 19” equipment rack.
The DM3 series is complemented by further powerful software applications, which help make them even more flexible. These include DM3 Editor, a standalone Windows or Mac application for both online operation and offline setup and editing, and DM3 StageMix, an iPad app that enables remote control of the DM3 Series via a simple, intuitive interface, allowing an engineer to control mix parameters from a performer's position on the stage. Meanwhile, the MonitorMix application for iOS and Android devices puts control of each performer’s monitor mix in their hand.
