About Yamaha DM7 Compact

Take your audio engineering to the next level with the DM7 Compact 72-Channel Mono Digital Mixing Console with Dante, a pinnacle of Yamaha's innovation in digital mixing technology. Building on over three decades of expertise since the debut of Yamaha's first digital mixer, the DMP7, the DM7 series embodies a significant leap in professional audio mixing. This series combines a sleek, compact design with an intuitive user interface and a robust suite of features that redefine flexibility and functionality in various audio environments.

Whether you're engaged in broadcasting, streaming, music production, or live hybrid events, the DM7 series is engineered to excel. It sets a new benchmark in operability and workflow, all while adhering to Yamaha's renowned tradition of "natural sound." The DM7 series ensures you stay ahead of the curve with a user experience that surpasses anything in its class, delivering sonic performance that exceeds the expectations of both audiences and engineers.

The DM7 series is not just a digital mixer; it's a versatile powerhouse that guarantees superior sound quality, ease of operation, and high reliability. Its scalable and flexible design allows it to adapt seamlessly to any application, supporting a wide range of sonic environments. With its comprehensive suite of mixing tools and flexible expansion options, the DM7 series is equipped to meet the ever-evolving demands of diverse mixing applications.

At the heart of the DM7 series is Yamaha's commitment to "transparent sound," achieved through meticulously designed inputs and I/Os. Supporting sample rates up to 96kHz, the DM7 delivers high-resolution sound quality that serves as a pristine canvas for engineers to shape and recreate sound using built-in plug-ins, EQ, and dynamics.

The DM7's Channel Strip is a testament to advanced sound creation, featuring the Channel EQ from the RIVAGE PM, a new FET Limiter, and Diode Bridge Compressor for expanded dynamics control. The innovative "Mix Balance" parameter allows for easy parallel compression, while the Dan Dugan automatic mixer, with up to 64 channels, enhances operability without requiring additional EQ RACK resources.

Equipped with an extensive suite of plug-ins, including VCM models of the Portico 5033 equalizer and Portico 5043 compressor/limiter, the DM7 series offers a wide range of applications. Yamaha's original plug-ins, such as the DaNSe dynamic noise suppressor and Dynamic EQ, are also included, alongside high-quality multi-effects processors featuring 43 types of effects, including the newly added REV HD and REV R3.

The DM7 series emphasizes intuitive operation with its advanced graphical user interface, offering touch operation convenience that provides instant access to the console's extensive functionality. The Selected Channel View and Overview features, inherited from the RIVAGE PM series, have been updated for more efficient operation, reducing the number of steps required to perform tasks.

Designed with both functionality and aesthetics in mind, the DM7 series features a sleek layout with strip lights that illuminate fader surfaces, enhancing usability in dark venues. The smooth curve design of the side pad connecting the strip light and fader surfaces creates a sense of unity, making the console not only a tool for sound engineering but also an attractive centerpiece in any audio setup.

With its multi-language option for individual channel names, the DM7 series ensures comfortable and intuitive operation, accommodating operators with varying levels of audio production experience. Whether you're an experienced audio engineer or new to the field, the DM7 Compact 72-Channel Mono Digital Mixing Console with Dante is your gateway to unparalleled sound engineering excellence.
