Product file
the PM7 mixing console (code name CSD-R7 for the control surface) comes to support the PM10 in the Rivage series and perpetuate the lineage (soon to be four decades old) of the Japanese manufacturer's PM digital consoles.
A variation of the PM10, from which it takes the same line (without the burr walnut panel), and the vast majority of the performances and functionalities, it nevertheless brings some new features and improvements, which substantially reduce the cost of acquisition and operation in common configurations.
A variation of the PM10, from which it takes the same line (without the burr walnut panel), and the vast majority of the performances and functionalities, it nevertheless brings some new features and improvements, which substantially reduce the cost of acquisition and operation in common configurations.
The CSD-R7 control surface retains the full layout and ergonomics of the Rivage series with its three 12-fader bins plus two masters, the two color LCD touchscreens (centralogic control with the bins below), and the full channel (input channel or mix) control and assignment panel on the right. What has changed is that the Rivage DSP audio engine is now built into the control surface instead of being external (connected via the TWINLANe optical digital audio network) and that with the new Rio3224-D2 (32 in/24 out) and Rio1608-D2 (16 in/8 out) Dante remote racks, it is possible to work exclusively on the Dante network, but of course also on TWINLANe with the existing Rivage system equipment.
On the processing side (in 96 kHz), the capacities are slightly less than on a PM10, with the support of 120 mono input channels (144 on a PM10 system), 60 mix busses (instead of 72), 24 matrixes (36), two PFL busses (idem) and 24 DCA groups (idem) but still substantial. Of course, the gain compensation is assured between surfaces. Note that the Rivage V2.0 firmware, placed on the PM7, brings some additional possibilities with panning and monitoring in 5.1 for example and the "minus" function allowing to remove a source from a mix quickly.
The complete control panel of a channel or mix gathers all the possible settings and assignments. Note the greyed-out "SILK" frame which allows you to insert the Ruppert Neve preamp emulation processing.
The local analog inputs (8 with 8 outputs and 8 AES I/Os) benefit from the new hybrid preamps (discrete + integrated components) installed on the new Rio (1608-D2 and 3224-D2) whose analog gain control has been revised and improved. Rupert Neve's SILK processing and VCM (virtual circuit modeling) transformer emulation provide highly desirable compression and smooth saturation characteristics.
The PM7 also incorporates a 64-channel Dan Dugan auto-mixer and offers 48 VCM plug-ins (50 on a PM10) featuring effects from renowned devices such as Rupert Neve's EQ/compression and Eventide's Ultra-Harmonizer H3000. The processing capacity of the audio engine allows working with 192 instances of plug-ins such as Portico 5033 or 5043 simultaneously. With firmware version V2.0, emulation of the Portico 5045 is also possible, which will be appreciated on the microphone inputs. All in all, the sound engineer can easily do without external processing if he wishes.
On the rear panel, from left to right, the local analog and digital AES I/Os, the two MY card slots, the USB ports for mouse or keyboard, the Ethernet control ports, a video output for an external monitor, the two power supply sockets and finally, on the right, the 3 HY network card slots with wordclock I/Os above.
The network cards HY256-TL (TWINLANe 256 I/O 32bits/96 kHz) and HY144-D (Dante 144 I/O 32 bits/96 kHz).
On the audio network side, as we have already mentioned, it is possible to work in TWINLANe with a HY256-TL card (or TL-SMF, single mode fiber) supporting 256 channels in input and output in 32 bits/96 kHz and/or in Dante with a HY144-D card (144 channels in input and output, 32 bits/96 kHz) and soon in MADI (a card is planned) by placing the ad hoc card(s) in one of the three slots provided for this purpose on the rear panel.
The particularity of the PM7 system is that you can use only Dante with the new Rio (and all devices supporting Dante) and the Yamaha SWP1-8 and 1-16 SMF switches, and thus achieve more economical configurations. Two additional slots on the rear panel accept all Yamaha MY cards.
The new Dante Rio1608-D2 and Rio3224-D2 racks feature an OLED parameter display and new hybrid pre-amps.
Both the CSD-R7 work surface and the Rio Dante racks feature dual redundant power supplies. The latter now feature an OLED display that allows for local (interactive) setup.
Finally, the console can be controlled via Wi-Fi from an iPAD tablet with Rivage PM StageMix and it is possible to prepare your show offline on a PC or MAC with Rivage PM editor, not to mention the Yamaha Console File Converter that allows you to share data between different Yamaha systems: Rivage PM, CL / QL, PM5, M7CL.
