Complete Software Control
As with other Yamaha digital consoles, editor application software is provided to PM5D users. The PM5D Editor is designed
for the offline programming and on-line control, with comprehensive analog-style visual representation of the PM5D controls.
The PM5D Editor will run on Windows XP and Mac OSX (10.2 or later) compatible computers connected to the PM5D via USB.
Also the PM5D Editor works within the Yamaha Studio Manager Host environment realizing the integration with other Yamaha
digital systems.
It would not be possible to introduce all of the PM5D's software parameters and displays in the space available here, but here
are a few examples.
Selected Channel Window
This very useful overview window shows
all parameters available via the console’s
SELECTED CHANNEL section in easy-to-
grasp graphic form, as well the controls in
the selected channel strip itself, and the
MIX SEND controls.
The PM5D Editor will also include the following windows for
total console management :
■ DCA/Mute Group Window
■ Effect Window
■ GEQ Window
■ Surround Editor Window
■ Meter Window
■ Patch Editor
■ Library Window
■ Scene Window
■ Setup Window
Layer Window
Almost a complete virtual mixer, this window shows all PM5D input
channel parameters “in-line” as they might appear on an analog console.
This is a comprehensive overview designed for fast, efficient editing of the
most essential mix elements.
Master Windows (Mix, Matrix, DCA, Stereo)
These windows provide an informative overview of fader levels as well as
other parameters including EQ, compressor gain reduction, delay, and more.

System Examples
1. Remote Microphone Preamplifer Control
Using MY-series expansion cards and the PM5D’s HA REMOTE output, it is possible to receive input from and remotely control up to eight high-performance Yamaha AD8HR
8-channel A/D microphone preamplifiers.
The AD8HR’s mic preamp gain can be remotely controlled in steps of 1dB directly from the PM5D. There’s also a high pass filter and phantom power supply integrated into
each channel that can be turned on and off by remote control. The filter’s cut-off frequency is also remotely adjustable.
This Head Amp Remote Control function makes it possible for the AD8HR to be used as a stage box. In addition to the many advantages that this offers, digital connection of
the AD8HR and PM5D using an AES/EBU cable reduces analog wiring requirements to the bare minimum.
2. DME Control
Adding a Yamaha Digital Mixing Engine such as the DME64N to the PM5D can provide an extra injection of mixing and DSP power that might be needed for some applications. You
can connect to a DME64N via the D-sub 68P cascade connector, or use the MY16-C CobraNet™ expansion card to communicate with a whole network of CobraNet-enabled devices.
You can create 64 matrix outs, and control additional GEQ, master fader, crossover, delay, and matrix mixer components created on DME64N from the PM5D.
Please refer to DME64N/ DME24N brochure for DME applications in detail.
3. Cascaded PM5D Consoles
Two PM5D consoles can easily be connected with bidirectional control capability. If you don’t need bidirectional control you can cascade up to four PM5Ds.
4. Bus & Control Cascade With a Yamaha DM2000
A DM2000 cascade-connected to the PM5D via the D-sub 68P cascade port will provide a 24-bus link-up.
