DM7 Professional Digital Audio Mixer

Driven by Music. Defined by Quality.

More than 30 years since the release of Yamaha’s first digital mixer, the DMP7, the landscape of professional audio has seen a steady progression in technological advancements and innovations that have impacted mixing and recording styles significantly.

DM7 series mixing consoles represent a sizable step forward in this evolution of form, functionality, and flexibility with their intuitive UI, compact design, and comprehensive suite of powerful features that allow them to outperform other mixers in their class in an impressive range of audio environments. From broadcasting, streaming, and music production, to live hybrid events and concert performances, the advanced capabilities of the DM7 series set a new standard in operability and workflow while simultaneously staying true to Yamaha’s sonic tradition of “natural sound”. As the times continue to change, your DM7 will keep you ahead of the curve with a user experience that’s a cut above anything in its class, and sonic performance well beyond the expectations of audiences and engineers alike.

Sound

Off to a solid start

It all starts with your sound, and if the input section of your mixer is compromised or lacking in any way, your mix isn't likely to meet your, or your audience’s expectations. To meet our own very strict standard of sound quality, the inputs of Yamaha consoles and I/Os are meticulously designed and constructed. We take every aspect of the initial input stage into consideration in order to achieve our signature “transparent sound”, from the individual components, power supply, and grounding, to the circuit layout, and mechanical structure of the inputs.

In addition, the DM7 series supports sample rates up to 96kHz for superior, high-resolution sound quality.

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 newly equipped REV HD and REV R3 to inspire a broader depth of creative sound reproduction.

Functionality

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.

Dante interface for high channel count and flexible connectivity

The DM7 series offers 144ch in/out via Dante, a combination of software, hardware and networking protocols which has become an industry standard, adopted and integrated into audio equipment from professional audio manufacturers. Dante allows for the transmission of hundreds of audio channels over a single Ethernet cable, allowing you to build a powerful system with a flexible and expandable network without having to worry about the number of channels in any field. Of course, HA Remote and device control are also supported, and the Device Mount function allows for easy patching and control with Dante enabled equipment.

Versatile USB connection

The DM7 series USB Type-C connector provides 18 in/out audio interface functions for recording, streaming, play back, connection to conferencing systems, and more.

It also enables additional functionality with MIDI Control, and DAW Remote features to expand your sound creation toolbox and streamline your workflow.

DAW Remote for efficient audio production

The DM7 series is the perfect mixer for music production and audio recording using a DAW. The DAW Remote function allows operations such as volume control, playback, stop, and more, to be performed using physical controllers such as the unit's faders and keys, providing smooth operation for audio production and recording applications. DAW Remote Mode can be accessed by simply pressing fader bank DCA and selecting DAW Remote.

Redundant power supplies for serious reliability

Power failure is a major risk when operating any professional audio device so we've equipped the DM7 series with dual power supply units to reduce the risk of power loss resulting in downtime during a show. If a problem occurs with one power source, operation will continue unaffected as long as the second power source is active.
