A Game Changing Digital Console
Well, Yamaha has changed the game once more by introducing the DM Series digital mixers. they first released the Baby DM3 Digital Mixer which comes in a Non Dante, and Dante version, now they have released a Pro console at an affordable price. two consoles to be exact the Yamaha DM7 and the Yamaha DM7C ( Compact). They both are very powerful and unlike the CL Series the DM series comes with a good set of I/O’s installed. the DM7 comes with 32 inputs and 16 outputs out of the box. the Yamaha DM7C comes with 16 inputs and 16 outputs. They both come with a built in Dante: 144 in / 144 out card, which in itself would of cost $3500.00 to add on. Now The DM7 is configured with 24 + 4 faders and a 2 x 12” + 1 x 7” multi-touch screen, and its compact version the DM7 Compact is configured with 12 + 4 faders and a 1 x 12” + 1 x 7” multi-touch screen, and a rack-mountable with an optional RK1 rack mount kit..
Powerful Channel Strip
The DM7 series Channel Strip is equipped with numerous advanced functions for convenient, intuitive sound creation. In addition to the Channel EQ inherited from the RIVAGE PM, the newly added FET Limiter and Diode Bridge Compressor offer expanded dynamics control, while the new “History” function combines with the existing comps and gates for easier and more precise dynamics adjustment than ever. The “Mix Balance” parameter is yet another new function that allows you to easily mix the original sound with a compressed sound and apply parallel compression. In addition, the order of EQ and Dynamics 2 can now be changed to suit your creative preferences, further expanding the range of sound creation.
The DM7 series also features the Dan Dugan automatic mixer with up to 64 channels in the channel strip as a standard feature. In cooperation with Dan Dugan Sound Design, a US company renowned for its proprietary algorithm-based automatic microphone mixer, the automatic mixer function can be conveniently accessed from the channel strip without the need for EQ RACK resources.
The input meters now also include a histogram display to help adjust HA levels.
Extensive plug-ins and new effects
The DM7 series is equipped with an extensive suite of plug-ins to accommodate a wide range of applications, including VCM models of the renowned Portico 5033 equalizer and Portico 5043 compressor/limiter— both developed through close cooperation with Rupert Neve Designs. Also included are Yamaha’s original plug-ins, such as the DaNSe dynamic noise suppressor, and the Dynamic EQ, which are well known among audio engineers.
The FX RACK features high-quality multi-effects processors with forty-three types of high-grade effects including the
Split Mode turns one console into two mixers
Split Mode allows you to use one mixer as if it were two. Even if you only have one DM7 series console due to space limitations, you can mix FOH and Monitor, or FOH and Streaming, etc. just as you would with two separate consoles.
“Assist” lets you focus your creativity
Yamaha digital mixers have always evolved along with emerging technologies, and perhaps even more importantly, we have adapted a lot of their functionality and operability in response to feedback and input from the people that use our mixers on a daily basis. The DM7 series newly added “Assist”, is an efficient new feature that takes care of important, but more procedural tasks, allowing operators to hone their creative workflow. Assist is a function that “suggests” HA adjustment, naming, and balanced fader levels—all audio engineering essentials— to help engineers focus on more creative work and communication, thereby reducing setup and preparation time. HA Assist suggests a suitable HA level according to the input signal level, Naming Assist uses input signal information to suggest an icon/channel name for each channel, and Fader Assist suggests fader balance for the assigned channel. These suggestions will continue to evolve based on your feedback and recommendations.

DM7 Control expansion controller
By connecting a DM7 Control also known as the Yamaha CTL-DM7 unit to a DM7 console via Ethernet cable, many physical controls such as User Defined Keys/Knobs, Scene Memory, Monitor Control, and Panner can be accessed quickly and conveniently in a number of applications. It provides fast and reliable operation with User Defined Keys/Knobs and Scene Memory Keys for applications such as musicals that require perfectly timed triggers and scene changes, while transport keys assigned to User Defined Keys and Jog Wheel provide comfortable and quick operation for post-production applications that require efficient editing work.
It is also an indispensable tool for Broadcast, Immersive productions, and any other application that can benefit from physical controllers.
A DM7 Control can be attached to any DM7 console and operated as one mixer.
* The DM7 Control controller comes with Broadcast Package/Theatre Package license codes giving users convenient access to additional specialized functionality, and requires DM7 firmware V1.5 or later.
Broadcast Package and Theatre Package for enhanced, specialized control
Valuable, specialized features can be accessed by adding the Broadcast Package/Theatre Package. The Broadcast Package includes 5.1 surround support, Mix Minus, Loudness Meter, and other functions required for broadcast applications and used conveniently in broadcast mixes.
The Theatre Package provides features that can be used effectively in musicals and other theatrical applications, including Actor Library, DCA Scene Grid, AFC Image Control, and other functions which can enhance mixing in theatrical applications significantly.
* Broadcast Package/Theatre Package requires DM7 firmware V1.5 or later.
