1 Introduction About the channel structure of the PM5D The PM5D provides the following input channels and output channels. ❏ Input channels This section processes input signals and sends them to the STEREO bus or MIX buses. There are three types of input channel, as follows. • Input channels 1-48 These channels are used to process monaural signals. By default, the input signals from the monaural analog input jacks (INPUT jacks 1-48) are assigned to these channels. • ST IN channels 1-4 These channels are used to process stereo signals. By default, the input signals from the stereo analog input jacks (ST IN jacks 1-4) are assigned to these channels. • FX RTN channels 1-4 These channels are used mainly to process the return signals (stereo) from the internal effects. By default, the left/right output channels of internal effects 1 through 4 are assigned to these channels. Hint Signal assignments to the input channels can be changed as desired. ❏ Output channels This section mixes the signals sent from input channels etc., and sends them to the corresponding output jacks or output buses. There are three types of output channel, as follows. • MIX channels 1-24 These channels process signals sent from input channels to MIX buses. In the initial state, output signals are assigned to MIX OUT jacks 1-24. These channels are used mainly for foldback or as sends to external effects. The signals of MIX channels 1-24 can also be sent to the STEREO bus or MATRIX buses. • MATRIX channels 1-8 These process the signals sent from MIX channels or STEREO A/B channels to MATRIX buses, and output them from the MATRIX OUT jacks. This allows MIX channels or STEREO A/B channels to be mixed at the desired balance for output. • STEREO A/B channels These process the signals sent from input channels or MIX channels, and output them to STEREO OUT jacks A/B. These channels are used as the main stereo outputs. Normally, the same signal is sent from the STEREO A and B channels. However, it is also possible to use the STEREO B channel as the center channel for three-channel L/C/R playback. About the DSP5D The DSP5D is a digital signal processing (DSP) system expanding the inputs and outputs of the PM5D. • Its audio processing capability is equivalent to that of the PM5D-RH. As analog audio input/output jacks, it provides INPUT jacks 1-48, ST IN jacks 1-4, and OMNI OUT jacks 1-24. • Up to two DSP5D units can be cascade-connected to one PM5D. By connecting it with DSP5D units, the PM5D system can be expanded to a maximum of 168 channels of input (144 channels + 12 ST). • By switching the control target on the PM5D, the DSP5D can be seamlessly controlled in the same way as the PM5D itself. • You can use DSP5D Editor application software to remotely control and edit the parameters of the DSP5D. Only Windows computers are supported. • The DSP5D can be connected to a Yamaha DCU5D digital cabling unit and placed on stage, and operated remotely from the PM5D. • The front panel provides two slots in which you can install separately sold mini-YGDAI cards to add inputs and outputs in a variety of digital formats.
