PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, ﬁre or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/Power cord

• Only use the voltage speciﬁed as correct for the device. The required voltage is

printed on the name plate of the device.

• Use only the speciﬁed power supply (PW800W or an equivalent recommended

by Yamaha).

• (DSP5D only) Use only the included power cord.

If you intend to use the device in an area other than in the one you purchased, the included power cord may not be compatible. Please check with your Yamaha dealer.

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and

do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

• (DSP5D only) Be sure to connect to an appropriate outlet with a protective

grounding connection. Improper grounding can result in electrical shock.

Do not open

• Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify

them in any way. The device contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

CAUTION

Water warning

• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

If you notice any abnormality

• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the device, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• If this device or power supply should be dropped or damaged, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/Power cord

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• When removing the electric plug from the device or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

•Turn the PM5D ON/OFF using only the power supply PW800W POWER switch. Turning the PM5D ON/OFF by plugging or unplugging the power cord, using a switch on a power tap, a breaker switch, or similar external means can result in damage.

Location

• When transporting or moving the device, always use four or more people (PM5D), two or more people (DSP5D). Attempting to lift the device by yourself may damage your back, result in other injury, or cause damage to the device itself.

• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.

• When setting up the DSP5D, make sure that the front-panel power switch can be easily turned ON/OFF. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet.

• If the DSP5D is to be mounted in an EIA-standard rack, leave the back of the rack open and make sure that it is at least 10 cm away from walls or surfaces. Also, if the DSP5D is to be mounted with devices that tend to generate heat, such as power ampliﬁers, be sure to keep an adequate gap between the DSP5D and the heat-generating devices or install ventilation panels to prevent high temperatures from developing inside the DSP5D. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even ﬁre.

• Do not use the DSP5D in a conﬁned, poorly-ventilated location. If the DSP5D is to be used in a small space other than an EIA-standard rack, make sure that there is adequate space between the DSP5D and surrounding walls or other devices: at least 10 cm behind and 10 cm above. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even ﬁre.

•Avoid setting all equalizer controls and faders to their maximum. Depending on the condition of the connected devices, doing so may cause feedback and may damage the speakers.

• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disﬁguration or damage to the internal components.

• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

• Do not block the vents. This device has ventilation holes at the front and rear to prevent the internal temperature from becoming too high. In particular, do not place the device on its side or upside down. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even ﬁre.

• Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Doing so may result in noise, both in the device itself and in the TV or radio next to it.

Connections

• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all devices. Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to minimum.

Handling caution

• When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the power ampliﬁer LAST, to avoid speaker damage. When turning the power off, the power ampliﬁer should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.

• Do not insert your ﬁngers or hands in any gaps or openings on the device (vents, etc.).

•Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the device (vents, etc.) If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• (PM5D only) Do not apply oil, grease, or contact cleaner to the faders. Doing so may cause problems with electrical contact or fader motion.

• Do not use the headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

• Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it, and avoid use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

Backup battery

• This device has a built-in backup battery. When you unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, the internal data of current scene is retained. However, if the backup battery fully discharges, this data will be lost. When the backup battery is running low in the system using PM5D or PM5D/DSP5D Editor, each LCD display indicates “Low Battery!” during operation or “NO BATTERY!” when starting up the system (the BATTERY ﬁeld also indicates “LOW” or “NO BATTERY” in the PREFERENCE2 screen). When using only the DSP5D, the message such as “Low Battery!” cannot be displayed because the DSP5D itself has no LCD display. When the DSP5D is cascade-connected to the PM5D or online with the DSP5D Editor, these messages will be displayed. In this case, have qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel replace the backup battery.

XLR-type connectors are wired as follows (IEC60268 standard): pin 1: ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold (-).

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modiﬁcations to the device, or data that is lost or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the device is not in use.

The performance of components with moving contacts, such as switches, volume controls, and connectors, deteriorates over time. Consult qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel about replacing defective components.

1 Introduction

Thank you

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha PM5D digital mixing console and/or Yamaha DSP5D digital mixing system. In order to take full advantage of the PM5D/DSP5D’s superior functionality and enjoy years of trouble-free use, please read this manual before you begin using the product. After you have read the manual, keep it in a safe place.

An overview of the PM5D system

The PM5D is an expandable digital mixing console with the following features.

❏ Full digital SR mixing system

The PM5D is a full-digital SR mixing console that takes advantage of cutting-edge digital audio processing technology. 24-bit linear AD/DA converters are used to deliver up to 110 dB of dynamic range and amazing sound quality. As input channels, it provides 48 monaural channels, four stereo channels, and four stereo channels for effect return. As output channels, it provides 24 MIX channels, eight MATRIX channels, and two STEREO channels. The PM5D can be used in a wide range of applications. You can assign desired channels to be controlled by the eight DCA faders on the panel, and use them as group faders.

❏ PM5D model and PM5D-RH model

In addition to the standard PM5D model that provides manual control of the head amp for each input, the PM5D-RH model is also available, providing programmable control of head amp input sensitivity and phantom power settings. You can choose the model appropriate for your situation and budget.

❏ Cutting-edge user interface

For the input channels and STEREO A/B channels, dedicated channel strips are provided where you can operate the fader, pan, cue, and on/off controls. For MIX channels and MATRIX channels, encoders allow you to control the send level and master level. The PM5D allows quick and intuitive operation just as on an analog mixer. In addition, you can use the SELECTED CHANNEL section to manually control the principal parameters (delay, EQ, gate, compressor) of the desired channel.

❏ Eight effect modules / Twelve graphic

EQ modules

Eight high-quality multi-effect modules are built in. Effects such as reverb, delay, multiband compressor, and various modulation effects can be routed via internal buses or inserted into the desired channel. 31-band graphic EQ (alternatively, 8-band parametric EQ) can also be inserted into any channel or any output.

❏ Add-On effects provided as standard

As effect types, the channel strip package (COMP276/276S, COMP260/260S, EQ601), master strip package (OPEN DECK), and reverb package (REV-X) are provided as standard.

❏ Scene memories and libraries

Mix parameters and internal effect settings can be stored in memory as up to 500 scenes for immediate recall. Effects, input/output patching, input channel/output channel settings, internal head amp (PM5D-RH model only) or external head amp settings can be stored in various libraries, independently of scenes.

❏ Digital cascade connection

Up to four PM5D units, or one PM5D and one Yamaha DM2000/02R96 unit, can be cascade-connected to share buses in the digital domain. In particular when PM5D units are cascaded together, operations such as scene saving and recall can also be linked. DME64N can also be used as inserts or as extended signal processors via a cascade connection.

❏ Surround panning

Surround pan functionality allows multi-channel playback systems to be used, letting you place the signal of an input channel in two-dimensional space, or move the sound image forward/backward and left/right. 3-1ch, 5.1ch, and

6.1ch surround modes are available.

❏ I/O card expansion

The rear panel provides four slots in which separately sold mini-YGDAI cards can be installed. AD cards, DA cards, or digital I/O cards can be installed in these slots to add inputs and outputs.

❏ Expansion via the DSP5D

A maximum of two DSP5D digital mixing systems can be cascade-connected to a PM5D to expand the inputs and outputs. You can also connect a Yamaha DCU5D digital cabling unit between the PM5D and DSP5D, and locate the DSP5D remotely.

Differences between the PM5D model and the PM5D-RH model

The PM5D is available as the standard PM5D model or as the PM5D-RH model which allows internal head amp settings to be programmed. These models differ as follows.

❏ PM5D model

• Head amp adjustments (input sensitivity settings, phantom power (+48V) on/off) for the analog inputs (INPUT jacks 1–48, ST IN jacks 1–4) are performed manually, using the controls of the top panel.

• Insert jacks (INSERT IN/OUT jacks) for the monaural analog inputs (INPUT jacks 1–48) are provided on the rear panel, allowing external effect processors to be inserted in the analog domain.

• ST IN jacks 1–4 are only for line level.

• There is no +48V MASTER switch.

INPUT jacks 1–48ST IN jacks 1–4

❏ PM5D-RH model

• Head amp adjustments (input sensitivity settings, phantom power (+48V) on/off) for the analog inputs are controlled from within the screen via software. For this reason, the top panel does not have head amp controls; instead, LEDs showing the presence or absence of a signal are provided. Head amp settings can be saved in a library and recalled at any time.

• Insert jacks for the analog inputs are not provided.

• ST IN jacks 1–4 support mic levels through line levels. Phantom power can also be supplied to ST IN jacks 1–

• The +48V MASTER switch turns all phantom power (+48V) on/off.

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.

• OMNI OUT jacks, CASCADE IN/OUT RJ-45 connectors, NETWORK connector, AC IN connector

• POWER switch, mode switch, FAN switch

About the connectors: Since the DSP5D does not have the functionality for the connectors with which DSP5D is not equipped, these functions and connectors are not shown in the screen of the PM5D or DSP5D Editor.

12 PM5D/PM5D-RH V2 / DSP5D Owner’s Manual Operating section

Page 13

About the interface: Since the DSP5D does not have controllers such as faders or the LCD display, it is operated from the PM5D or DSP5D Editor.

Note

• The explanations in chapter 5 and following of this Owner’s Manual are based on the functionality and operating procedures of the PM5D. Supplementary explanations regarding the DSP5D are added only in cases where there is a significant difference in functionality or operating procedure. However, in cases where it is obvious that the abovedescribed differences would make clear differences in operation or in the on-screen display, explanations for the DSP5D will be omitted.

• There are some differences between the PM5D and DSP5D in the I/O cards that are supported. For the most recent information regarding I/O cards, refer to the following Yamaha website. http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/

❏ Connection to a computer

The PM5D can be connected to a computer via a USB cable from its USB TO HOST connector, but the DSP5D can be connected to a computer via an Ethernet CAT5 cable from its NETWORK connector.

Regarding cascade connections between the PM5D and DSP5D

By bi-directionally cascade-connecting the PM5D and DSP5D, you can share MIX buses 1–24, STEREO A/B buses, and CUE buses.

For details on cascade connections, refer to p.153.

Note

• Cascade connection with the DSP5D is possible only for PM5D V2.0 or later. If you’re using earlier version than V2.0, you will need to upgrade to PM5D V2.0 or later. You can download the most recent firmware from the following Yamaha website. http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/

• Connectors and interfaces not found on the DSP5D cannot be controlled from the PM5D. For example, the MONITOR [LEVEL] and MONITOR [PHONES] knobs found on the PM5D’s top panel are always operated at the level of the PM5D.

❏ Controlling the DSP5D

• As the target of control from the PM5D’s panel and screen, you can recall machine #1 (PM5D), machine #2

(first DSP5D), or machine #3 (second DSP5D) as desired. For details on operation, refer to p.153.

• Functions assigned to the user-defined keys or the FADER MODE section can be used to select the DSP5D as the target machine to be operated (➥ p.148,

149). Operations can be performed from the panel of the PM5D itself or from DSP5D Editor connected to the DSP5D.

❏ Operation when cascade-connected

• Output channels

In general, operations for the output channels of cascade-connected buses will be linked between machines. (You can also specify that they not be linked.) This means that you can operate the system as if it were a single console with an expanded number of inputs. However, since the inserts to output channels will also be duplicated, inserted GEQ modules and effects may also be consumed in duplicate or triplicate. (Separate GEQ modules or effects are inserted into the linked buses on each machine.)

• Scene memories and libraries

Scene memory and library data is stored on each machine. When a scene or a library associated with a scene is stored or recalled, the same scene/library number will be stored/recalled on all machines. When the cascade-connection becomes active, the PM5D’s library data not associated with a scene will be sent to each DSP5D to synchronize the libraries. The data on cascade-connected machines can also be saved together to a memory card.

• Effects

The DSP5D provides GEQ modules and effects that are equivalent to those on the PM5D, but since the connections between machines are bus cascade connections, inserts into input channels are limited to being within each machine.

• DCA groups / Mute groups

These will operate in tandem for cascade-connected PM5D/DSP5D machines. (➥ p.156)

• CH JOB function

Channel copy operations between the PM5D/DSP5D can be performed from the PM5D front panel. However, channels can be moved using the INPUT VIEW function only within each machine. (➥ p.274, 314)

1 Introduction

Firmware versions

You can download the most recent firmware from the following Yamaha website. http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/

For either the PM5D or the DSP5D, you can check the firmware version in the UTILITY function PREFERENCE 2 screen (➥ p.207).

Major new functionality in PM5D ﬁrmware V2.0

The major new functionality and improvements that were added in conjunction with the upgrade to firmware V2.0 are as follows.

❏ Basic functionality and panel operations

• You can now control the DSP5D from the PM5D’s panel. (➥ p.153)

• On/off operations of the channel selected in the FADER MODE section can now be operated from the DCA [MUTE] key.

• Even if the FADER [FLIP] key is on, you can now use the encoders to control the panning of the signal sent to the MIX buses, the head amp gain, or the attenuators. (➥ p.49)

• If there is no vacant library number when you store the selected scene as NEW, it will now be impossible to save the scene; this prevents an existing library item from being overwritten.

• Remote control of the DME64N/24N (firmware V2.0 and later) is now faster. In particular, operation is faster when connected via an MY16-C or MY16-CII card (supported from V1.2).

• As parameters that can be operated in the screen, MONITOR LEVEL and CUE LEVEL have been added. You can now assign these to the faders of the DCA strip so that the monitor or cue levels can be adjusted. (➥ p.149)

❏ EFFECT functions

• Add-On Effects (COMP276/276S, COMP260/260S, EQ601, OPEN DECK) and DE-ESSER have been added.

•A DSP CONFIGURATION option has been added to the EFFECT ASSIGN screen and to the GEQ function GEQ ASSIGN screen, allowing internal effects 1–8 to be used as graphic EQ or parametric EQ. (➥ p.168, 173)

• When the panel [SEL] key is pressed in the EFFECT PARAM screen, or when a [SEL] key is turned on via a linking setting, the effect module inserted in that channel will automatically be selected.

• If you’ve used the tap tempo function to specify the tempo in the EFFECT PARAM screen and then edited the DELAY parameter, the tempo will now stay unchanged.

❏ GEQ functions

• Options have been added to the GEQ PARAM screen, allowing you to switch a graphic EQ to a parametric EQ. (➥ p.170)

• Not only when the panel [SEL] key is pressed in the GEQ PARAM screen but also when a [SEL] key is turned on via a linking setting, the GEQ module inserted in that channel will automatically be selected.

• When you insert a GEQ in the GEQ PARAM screen, insert-in will automatically be turned on for that channel, and will be automatically turned off when you remove the GEQ.

❏ SCENE functions

• In the SCENE screen, you can now specify “read-only” scenes that will not be overwritten when you load scenes from a memory card. (➥ p.175)

• In the SCENE screen, a DELAY field has been added, allowing you to specify the timing of the program change or MIDI events that are transmitted when the scene is recalled. (➥ p.175)

• In the SELECTIVE RECALL screen and the RECALL SAFE screen, the ON parameter has been added as a channel parameter that can be included in or excluded from recall operations. (➥ p.180, 182)

• In the SELECTIVE RECALL screen and RECALL SAFE screen, separately from the conventional Recall Safe functionality, an OUTPUT ISOLATION field has been added, so that output channels and parameters to be excluded from recall operations can be stored in SETUP memory (which is not affected by memory card load operations). (➥ p.180, 182)

❏ SYS/W.CLOCK functions

• In the MIXER SETUP screen, a VIRTUAL SOUNDCHECK button has been added, allowing you to temporarily switch the input signals without affecting the scene memory (input patching). For example, this allows you to perform a sound check using prerecorded material played back by a DAW connected to a slot, instead of the analog input material received via the INPUT jacks. (➥ p.221)

• In the OUTPUT ATT PORT screen, a ø (phase) button has been added, allowing you to switch the phase between normal and reverse for each output channel or I/O channel output port.

❏ UTILITY functions

• In the PREFERENCE 1 screen, a DCA MUTE TARGET option has been added, allowing you to specify that the DCA [MUTE] key will mute the send to the MIX bus. (➥ p.205)

• In the PREFERENCE 1 screen, an ATT OPERATION ON PANEL option has been added, allowing you to prevent the panel encoders from operating the attenuators. (➥ p.206)

• In the PREFERENCE 1 screen, a MIX SEL/ENCODER MODE LINK option has been added, allowing you to

14 PM5D/PM5D-RH V2 / DSP5D Owner’s Manual Operating section

Page 15

link selection of MIX channels with selection of MIX SEND SELECT keys. (➥ p.206)

• In the USER DEFINE screen, functions such as DSP5D CONTROL and ENCODER MODE KEY have been added to the functions that can be assigned to userdefined keys. (➥ p.208)

• In the FADER ASSIGN screen, options have been added, allowing you to use the STEREO/DCA strip section to control the monitor/cue level and on/off status. (➥ p.217)

• In the FADER ASSIGN screen, you can now assign the desired channels of the DSP5D as well. (➥ p.217)

• In the SECURITY screen, a LOAD LOCK function has been added, allowing you to disable loading for each type of file. (➥ p.218)

• In the SECURITY screen, a RECALL LOCK option has been added, allowing you to lock parameters so that they will not be changed when a scene or library is recalled. (➥ p.218)

❏ Input/output functions

• In the OUTPUT PATCH function OUTPUT PATCH screen, you can now change the patching of output channels to MIX OUT jacks 1–24. (➥ p.243)

• In the OUTPUT PATCH function INSERT POINT screen and the INPUT PATCH function INSERT/ DIRECT OUT POINT screen, a SET ALL button and CLEAR ALL button have been added, allowing you to turn all channels on/off in a single operation. (➥ p.246, 281)

• In the OUTPUT PATCH function, a NAME screen has been added, allowing you to assign names to output channels for display in various screens (supported from V1.2). (➥ p.247)

• In the INPUT VIEW function CH JOB screen, channel settings can now be moved as well as copied. (➥ p.314)

• In the INPUT PATCH function INSERT/DIRECT OUT POINT screen, PRE ATT has been added as a direct output transmit location. (➥ p.282)

• In the PAN/ROUTING function MIX SEND VIEW screen, the send position (PRE/POST) of the signal sent to the MIX bus is now indicated by the color of the bar graph. (➥ p.306)

• You can now set a Q of up to 16 for the parametric EQ in the input channels, output channels, and GEQ modules.

• You can now set a threshold level of down to –72 dB for an input channel GATE.

Introduction

Regarding word clock synchronization

In order to transmit or receive digital audio signals to or from an external device via the PM5D/DSP5D’s digital input/output jacks or via a digital I/O card installed in a slot, the word clock must be synchronized between the devices. Be aware that if the word clock is not synchronized, the signals will not be transmitted correctly, and unpleasant noise will occur.

Hint

• For details on synchronizing the word clock of the PM5D/ DSP5D and external devices, refer to the explanation of word clock in Operating section “Chapter 4. Connections and setup” ( CLOCK screen” (

• As an exception, digital signals that are not synchronized with the PM5D/DSP5D can be input via a digital I/O card that contains a sampling rate converter, or via the 2TR IN/ OUT DIGITAL jacks.

How this manual is organized

This owner’s manual is divided into the following three sections.

❏ Operating section

This section explains the items on the front and rear panels, connections and setup, and how to operate the PM5D’s basic functionality. In particular if you have not operated a digital console before, we recommend that you read chapters 2 through 7 first.

This section explains the functionality and operation for all of the PM5D’s screens. Refer to this section when you want to learn about the items in the screens.

❏ Appendices

This contains various information such as library lists, parameter lists for the internal effects, the MIDI data format, and lists of warning messages and error messages.

Conventions in this manual

In this manual, non-locking panel switches that you press are called “keys,” and those that change their on/off status when you push them in (locking types) are called “switches.” Of the control knobs on the panel, those that turn from a minimum value to a maximum value are called “knobs,” while those that turn endlessly are called “encoders.”

Controls located on the panel are enclosed in square brackets [ ] (e.g., [CUE] key, [PAD] switch) in order to distinguish them from the buttons and knobs displayed in the screen. For some controls, the section name is listed before the [ ] (e.g., CH [ON] key, EQ [FREQUENCY] encoder).

Unless otherwise specified, references to the PM5D apply to both the PM5D model and the PM5D-RH model. If specifications differ between the PM5D model and the PM5D-RH model, such differences will be noted each time they occur.

3 Basic operation on the PM5D

This chapter explains the various types of user interface used to operate the PM5D.

About the various types of user interface

Basic parameters such as mixing and editing the sound of each channel can be controlled by the faders and encoders of the top panel. However to make more detailed settings, you will need to access the appropriate “function” and edit the parameter values in the display. The section below explains the various user interface components shown in the display, and how to use them.

User interface in the display

The user interface in the PM5D’s display uses the following components.

❏ Pointer

The arrow shown in the display is called the “pointer.” Use the pointer to select the parameter you want to control next.

❏ Cursor

The red frame shown in the display is called the “cursor.” If the cursor encloses a parameter on the screen, that parameter is selected for operation.

Cursor

❏ Knobs/Faders/Boxes

Knobs/faders in the display are used to edit parameter values. The current value is shown in the box. Boxes for which

/ buttons are displayed at left and right allow you to edit the parameter by using these buttons. (If editing is not possible, the buttons will be gray.)

Scroll bar

DISPLAY ACCESS section

The DISPLAY ACCESS section contains keys that access the desired function or screen in the display.

Data Entry section

Controllers used to edit settings and values in the display are gathered into the data entry section.

A Global functions

These keys access functions that affect the entire PM5D.

B Output functions

These keys access functions that are related to output channels.

C Input functions

These keys access functions that are related to input channels.

When you press the key for the desired function, the screen for that function will appear in the display. By repeatedly pressing a key you can cycle through the screens included in that function.

Hint

If you hold down the [SHIFT] key and press a key in the DISPLAY ACCESS section, the screens included in that function will appear in the reverse order (Page Back function). You can also use the Page Back function by holding down a key in the DISPLAY ACCESS section. If you rapidly press a key twice, you will return to the first screen in that function.

A [DEC/CANCEL]/[INC/OK] keys

Use these keys to increase or decrease the value of the parameter where the cursor is located. If the PM5D has displayed a window asking you to confirm an operation such as recall or store, these buttons can be used instead of the CANCEL button and OK button shown in the window.

B CURSOR [√]/[®]/[π]/[†] keys

These keys are used to move the cursor to the desired parameter.

C [SHIFT] key

This key can be used in conjunction with the CURSOR [√]/[®]/[π]/[†] keys to move the cursor rapidly, or in conjunction with the [DATA] encoder or [DEC]/[INC] keys to change the parameter value rapidly.

If you hold down the [SHIFT] key and press the [ENTER] key, the JOB SELECT window will appear, allowing you to set multiple parameters in a single operation. (When you move the cursor to a parameter for which there is a JOB SELECT window, an indication of “Job Select = [SHIFT] + [ENTER]” will appear.)

D [ENTER] key

Use this key to switch a button at the cursor location on/off, or to open a window.

E [DATA] encoder

Use this to increase or decrease the value of the parameter where the cursor is located. The parameter value will change more rapidly if you turn the [DATA] encoder while holding down the [SHIFT] key.

3 Basic operation on the PM5D

Basic operation

This section explains the basic procedures you can perform in the PM5D’s display. In general, you will perform operations in the PM5D’s display by combining the operations described here.

Click

Moving the pointer to a specific parameter in the screen and pressing the left/right track pad button (or the left/ right mouse button) is called “clicking.” Clicking is mainly used to turn an on-screen button on/off, to move the cursor, or to make fine adjustments to a value.

• Track pad • Mouse

Click

Using the CURSOR [√]/[®]/[π]/[†] keys of the data entry section to move the cursor to a desired parameter and then pressing the [ENTER] key is equivalent to clicking. If you are using a PS/2 keyboard, you can perform the same action using the arrow keys and the <Enter> key.

Subsequently in this manual, this operation will simply be called “clicking.”

Hint

When using the track pad, you can move the pointer to the desired parameter and then tap the track pad to obtain the same result as if you pressed the left button. (This is called the Tapping function.) If you want to use the tapping function, you must enable it in the PREFERENCE 2 screen (UTILITY function) (➥ p.206).

• Track pad

Tapping

Drag

Moving the pointer to a specific parameter in the screen and then holding down the left/right track pad (or mouse) button while moving up/down/left/right is called “dragging.” Dragging is used mainly to adjust the value of a knob or fader.

• Track pad • Mouse

Drag

While pressing

Drag

Using the CURSOR [√]/[®]/[π]/[†] keys of the data entry section to move the cursor to a desired parameter and then turning the [DATA ] encoder (or pressing the [DEC/CANCEL]/[INC/OK] keys) is equivalent to dragging. If you are using a PS/2 keyboard, you can perform the same action using the arrow keys and the <PageUp>/ <PageDown> keys (or keys that have the same function).

Subsequently in this manual, this operation will simply be called “dragging.”

Drag and drop

Moving the mouse pointer to a specific parameter in the screen, dragging to another location in the screen, and then releasing your finger is called “dragging and dropping.” Dragging and dropping is used to copy EQ or compressor settings to another channel. Dragging and dropping cannot be performed using the CURSOR keys or keyboard.

Subsequently in this manual, this operation will be called “dragging and dropping.”

Accessing a desired screen

A desired function/screen can be accessed in the display using either of the following two methods.

❏ Using the keys of the DISPLAY ACCESS

section

From the keys of the DISPLAY ACCESS section,

press the key corresponding to the desired function.

The most recently operated screen for that function will appear.

If you want to switch to another screen within

that function, press the same key you pressed in step 1.

If you repeatedly press a key in the DISPLAY ACCESS section, or hold down the [SHIFT] key of the data entry section and press the same key as in step 1, you will return to the preceding screen of the same function.

❏ Using buttons within the display

In any screen, click the function name area

located in the upper left of the screen.

When you click the function name area, the function menu screen will appear. This screen is the starting point from which you can access the desired screen via operations in the display.

Click the function name area

Click a tab in the screen to select the desired

screen.

Click a tab

Hint

By clicking the buttons located below the function name area you can switch backward through the screens that had been previously displayed for at least two seconds (not including the function menu). Up to the eight most recent screens are remembered.

Moving the cursor

To select a parameter, use the data entry section’s controllers or a PS/2 keyboard to move the cursor (the red frame).

Hint

If you are using a mouse or the track pad, the cursor will move when you click on the button or knob of the desired parameter.

Use the CURSOR [√]/[®]/[π]/[†] keys to

move the cursor.

The cursor in the display will move in the direction of the key you pressed. However, it will not move if there is no parameter in the direction of that key.

Basic operation on the PM5D

3 Basic operation on the PM5D

Assigning a name

On the PM5D you can assign a four-character name to each input channel or DCA group, and assign a title to scene and library data when saving it.

For example, the screen shown below is the LIBRARY STORE window that appears when you assign a name to the INPUT EQ library. To input characters in this screen, use the following procedure.

Use the character palette (or a PS/2 key-

board) to input a character.

When you click the character palette, a character will be input in the box, and the highlighted area will move to the right.

When you have finished inputting the name,

click the STORE button.

The name you input will be stored.

Hint

• In general, the same procedure applies in screens where you enter names for scenes or other library items.

• If a PS/2 keyboard is connected, you can use it to enter characters.

• If you move the cursor to the text input box and press the [ENTER] key (or click), the input position will move to that point. If the cursor is located at the text input box, you can step through the available characters by turning the [DATA] encoder. If the cursor is located elsewhere, turning the [DATA] encoder will move the selected position. The [INC]/ [DEC] keys move the selected position regardless of where the cursor is located.

Note

The number of characters that can be input will depend on the type of data (scene/library) you are saving. You cannot input more than the specified number of characters, or move the highlighted area beyond that range.

Input the subsequent characters in the same

way.

4 Connections and setup

This chapter describes examples of expanded systems using the DSP5D, audio input/output connections, and the setup that will be necessary when starting up the PM5D/DSP5D for the first time.

Examples of systems expanded with the DSP5D

• In order to use “cascade connections” for expansion, you must first specify the machine ID (➥ p.153) and make cascade connection settings (➥ p.154). If the PM5D and DSP5D are cascade-connected, you’ll be able to select the PM5D/DSP5D that will be the target of control from the PM5D’s panel (➥ p.40).

Example of simple input expansion (PM5D + one DSP5D unit)

• This system expands the number of input channels to 96 monaural + 8 stereo.

• To make cascade connections, use a D-sub half-pitch 68-pin cable to connect the CASCADE IN connector to the OUT connector of each respective PM5D and DSP5D unit.

Word clock connections and settings

This section explains the word clock settings required in order to send or receive digital audio between the PM5D/DSP5D and an external digital device.

About word clock

When digital audio signals are being sent or received between multiple devices, the devices must process the audio signals at the matching timing. For example if the audio signal processing is not synchronized, the signals will not be transmitted correctly and unpleasant noise will occur even if both devices are set to the same sampling frequency.

The signal used to synchronize digital audio signal processing is called “word clock.” Normally, one device transmits a reference word clock signal, and the other devices receive this word clock signal and synchronize to it. (The transmitting device is called the “word clock master” and the receiving devices are called “word clock slaves.”)

The word clock can be synchronized between the PM5D/ DSP5D and external devices in either of two ways; you can send/receive a word clock signal by itself, or use the clock data that is included in a digital audio signal.

The WORD CLOCK IN/OUT connectors on the rear panel of the PM5D (front panel for the DSP5D) are used to send/receive a word clock signal by itself. In general, word clock connections can be made in either of the following two ways.

Using daisy-chain connections

In this method, the signal is distributed sequentially; the WORD CLOCK OUT connector of the first device is connected to the WORD CLOCK IN connector of the second device, and so on. Turn all of the PM5D’s 75Ω ON/OFF switches ON. On the DSP5D, this is fixed at 75Ω ON. This method is not recommended for large systems.

If an external device does not have WORD CLOCK IN/ OUT connectors, the clock data included in the digital

audio signal is used. In this case, both the digital audio signal and the clock data are sent from the DIGITAL OUT jack of the word clock master to the DIGITAL IN jack of the word clock slave.

A window will appear, asking you to confirm that you want to switch the master clock.

Click the OK button.

The selected word clock master will be enabled. The selected word clock master is remembered even if you turn off the power. As long as the connections have not been changed, you don’t have to make this setting again.

Note

• If a digital I/O card (such as the MY8-AE96S) that contains a built-in SRC (Sampling Rate Converter) is installed in slots, you can switch the SRC on/off in groups of two channels. The input signals from channels for which the SRC is turned on do not need to be synchronized with the PM5D/DSP5D’s word clock.

• If transferring high sampling rate (88.2 kHz/96 kHz) signals between the PM5D/DSP5D and an external device, you will need to select the transmission method. (For details, refer to p.220)

Connections and setup

Note

• Sources for which the symbol at the left of the button is red (UNLOCK) or yellow (UNKNOWN) cannot be selected, since a valid clock is not being input or the clock cannot be detected.

• If the PM5D and DSP5D are cascade-connected via the DCU5D and you’re not synchronizing to an external word clock being input to the PM5D, you should set the PM5D as the word clock master and the DSP5D as the slave. This means that in this case, you’ll select INT for the PM5D, and CASCADE IN for the DSP5D.

4 Connections and setup

Restoring the current scene to the default state

When the PM5D/DSP5D is in its default state, the input signals from INPUT jacks 1–48 are patched to input channels 1–48 and the input signals from ST IN jacks 1–4 are patched to the ST IN channels, and can then be output via the STEREO bus or MIX buses.

However, if the PM5D/DSP5D’s internal mix parameter settings (referred to as the “current scene”) have been modified, the signal of a specific input may not be sent to an input channel, or the EQ or dynamics processors may be set to produce extreme effects.

To initialize the mix parameters from such a state, proceed as follows.

Use the SCENE [π]/[†] keys of the SCENE

MEMORY section to make the scene number indicator show “000”.

Scene number “000” is a scene memory containing the default settings.

Hint

If the PM5D and DSP5D are cascade-connected, scene data is stored in both the PM5D and the DSP5D. When a scene is recalled, the same scene number is recalled on all PM5D/DSP5D units.

SCENE [π]/[†]

keys

Press the [RECALL] key of the SCENE MEM-

ORY section.

Scene number “000” will be loaded, and the current scene will return to the default state.

Note

Be aware that when scene number “000” is loaded, the input patch, output patch, internal effect, and HA (Head Amp) settings will also return to their default state. (However, the word clock master selection is not affected.)

Scene number indicator

Switching the target of panel operations (when cascade-connected with the DSP5D)

When the DSP5D is cascade-connected, you can switch the target of operations performed from the PM5D’s panel, and operate these units while seamlessly switching between the PM5D and DSP5D.

To switch the target of panel operations, use the following procedure. For details, refer to the page reference given for each step.

Set the machine ID number of the PM5D and

DSP5D (➥ p.153).

In the SYS/W.CLOCK function MIXER SETUP

screen, make settings for cascade connections (➥ p.154).

Use one of the following three methods to

switch the target of panel operations.

• Using the constantly-displayed screen

In the constantly displayed screen, select the machine ID and change it (➥ p.164).

• Using a user-defined key

In the UTILITY function USER DEFINE screen, assign the DSP5D CONTROL function (➥ p.148), and use the user-defined key to switch the target of control (➥ p.149).

• Using the FADER MODE key

In the UTILITY function FADER ASSIGN screen, assign a DSP5D layer (➥ p.149), and use the FADER MODE key to switch the target of control (➥ p.150).

5 Input channel operations

This chapter explains the functions and operation of each section related to input channels.

About the input channels

The input channel section processes the signals that are input via the input patch section, and outputs them to the STEREO buses or MIX buses. There are three types of input channel, as follows.

Input channels 1–48

These channels are used to process monaural signals. When the input patching is in the default state, the input signals from INPUT jacks 1–48 are assigned to these channels.

ST IN channels 1–4

These channels are used to process stereo signals. When the input patching is in the default state, the input signals from ST IN jacks 1–4 are assigned to these channels.

This can be patched to an output port, and the input signal sent directly from that output port.

• METER

This meters the level of the input channel. The level detection point can be switched.

Note

The signal assignments from input patch to input channel can be edited in the INPUT PATCH function INPUT PATCH screen.

To edit the parameters of an input channel, you can either use the panel controllers (e.g., INPUT channel strip, ST IN/FX RTN channel strip, SELECTED CHANNEL section), or access the appropriate screen in the display and edit the parameters in the screen.

5 Input channel operations

PM5D-RH model

A [+48V ON/OFF] LED

This LED will light if phantom power (+48V) is being supplied to the corresponding INPUT jacks 1–48 or ST IN jacks 1–4. However, +48V will not be supplied unless the rear panel [+48V MASTER] switch is on.

B [PEAK]/[SIGNAL] LED

C [LAMP DIMMER] knob

This adjusts the brightness of the lamp connected to the LAMP connector.

On the PM5D-RH model, the AD IN input signal sensitivity and phantom power (+48V) on/off setting for each channel are controlled from within the display. However, the rear panel [+48V MASTER] switch is the phantom power master switch.

Controlling the input sensitivity and phantom power (+48V) of the head amp

You can adjust the input sensitivity and switch phantom power (+48V) on/off for the signals being input from INPUT jacks 1–48 and ST IN jacks 1–4. These operations are performed differently on the PM5D model and PM5DRH model.

Hint

Even if input channels are paired, head amp settings must be made individually.

PM5D model

For the PM5D model, head amp settings are made using the controls of the AD IN section of the panel (➥ p.43).

• The input sensitivity is adjusted by the combination of the [GAIN] knob setting and [PAN] switch on/off setting for that jack.

• To supply phantom power (+48V) to an INPUT jack 1–48, turn on the [+48V] switch corresponding to that jack.

• To enable an external device that is inserted into the INSERT IN/OUT jacks, turn on the [INSERT] switch corresponding to that jack.

PM5D-RH model/DSP5D

On the PM5D-RH model/DSP5D, head amp settings are made by operations within the display.

Repeatedly press the [SYS/W.CLOCK] key of

the DISPLAY ACCESS section until the HA screen appears.

In the screen, click the INTERNAL HA button.

The internal head amp settings for INPUT jacks 1–48 and ST IN jacks 1–4 will be displayed.

Use the buttons and knobs in the screen to

edit the head amp settings.

A +48V button

Click this button to switch phantom power (+48V) on/ off for that jack.

B GAIN knob

Drag this knob to adjust the input sensitivity of that jack in a range of +10 dB to –62 dB.

Note

The PAD will be switched on or off internally when the gain of the PM5D-RH internal head amp is adjusted between –14 dB and –13 dB. Keep in mind that noise may be generated if there is a difference between the Hot and Cold output impedance of the external device connected to the INPUT connector/ST IN connector when using phantom power.

C GANG button

If this button is on, the input sensitivity of two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered channels will change in tandem, maintaining the current offset value.

When making these settings, the LEDs of the AD IN section of the panel will indicate the input signal level and the phantom power (+48V) on/off status.

Note

• On the PM5D-RH model and DSP5D, head amp settings can also be made from the HA/INSERT function CH 1-24 screen, CH 25-48 screen, or ST IN/FX RTN screen (

• Settings for an external head amp device (AD8HR) can also be made from the screen in the same way as for the internal head amps.

Sending a signal from an input channel to the STEREO bus

Here’s how to use the INPUT channel strip or ST IN/FX RTN channel strip to send an input channel signal to the STEREO bus. The explanation here uses the example of an input channel, but the procedure is essentially identical when using a ST IN channel or FX RTN channel.

Make sure that an input source is correctly

assigned to the input channel, and that the head amp gain is set appropriately.

Make sure that the appropriate CH [ON] key is

turned on in the INPUT channel strip, and press the [SEL] key for that channel to make it light.

The [SEL] keys are used to select the channel you want to control.

Raise the corresponding fader of the INPUT

channel strip.

Sending the signal from the input channel to a MIX bus

Signals from input channels or ST IN/FX RTN channels can be sent to the desired MIX bus. This can be done either by specifying the send level sent from all input channels to a specific MIX bus, or by specifying the send level sent from a specific input channel to all MIX buses.

The explanation here uses an input channel as the sendsource, but the procedure is the same when using a ST IN channel or FX RTN channel.

To send signals from all input channels to a speciﬁc MIX bus

Use MIX SEND SELECT [1]–[24] keys of the

ENCODER MODE section to select the destination MIX bus.

The selected key will light, and the encoder mode indicator will show the number of the destination MIX bus. In this state, the encoders of the channel strip adjust the send level to the MIX bus. Make sure that the FADER [FLIP] key is dark.

Turn the encoders of the INPUT channel strip.

When MIX SEND is selected as the encoder mode, you can use the encoders of the INPUT channel strip to adjust the level of the signal that is sent to the currently selected MIX bus from the corresponding input channel.

The LEDs around the periphery of the encoder indicate the approximate send level.

To turn off the signal sent from a specific

channel to the MIX bus, press the ENCODER [ON] key for that channel to turn it off.

Press the same key once again to turn it back on.

Note

If the send-destination MIX bus is set to FIXED mode

➥

p.299), the encoders have no effect; the signal can only be

( switched on/off by the ENCODER [ON] key.

In the same way, select a different send-desti-

nation MIX bus, and use the encoders of the INPUT channel strip to adjust the send levels to it.

To send signals from a speciﬁc input channel to all MIX buses

Press a [SEL] key of the INPUT channel strip to

select the send-source channel.

In the MIX section, press the [MIX SEND] key

to make it light.

The MIX section lets you control the signals sent to MIX buses 1–24 and the signals output from MIX channels 1–24. (For details, refer to ➥ p.57)

When the [MIX SEND] key is lit, you can use the encoders of the MIX section to control the send levels from the currently selected input channel to MIX buses 1–24.

Enabling/disabling pairing

Monaural input channels can be paired to link their principal parameters. There are two types of pairing; you can use only one type.

• Horizontal pair mode

This mode pairs adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered channels (default setting).

Horizontal pair

❏ Using horizontal pairing

Here’s how to enable or defeat pairing for adjacent oddnumbered/even-numbered channels.

To enable pairing, hold down the [SEL] key of

one of the adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered channels, and press the [SEL] key of the other channel.

The parameters of the channel you pressed first will be copied to the subsequently-pressed channel.

Hint

The copy-source channel is determined by the order in which you press the [SEL] keys. For example if you hold down the channel 1 [SEL] key and press the channel 2 [SEL] key, the channel 1 parameters will be copied to channel 2.

To defeat pairing, hold down the [SEL] key of

one of the paired channels and press the [SEL] key of the other channel.

Note

If you are unable to enable/defeat pairing by using the above procedure, make sure that MAKE PAIR ON PANEL is turned on in the UTILITY function PREFERENCE 1 screen (➥ p.206).

• Vertical pair mode

This mode pairs channels of different layers that share the same fader.

Ver tical pair

Hint

Input channels that are paired will have their parameters linked except for head amp, delay, pan, attenuation, and phase.

Note

If the PM5D is cascade-connected to the DSP5D, pairing can be specified only within each individual machine.

❏ Using vertical pairing

Here’s how to enable or disable pairing for channels of different layers that share the same fader.

6 Output channel operations

This chapter explains the functions and operation of each section related to output channels.

About the output channels

Output channels mix the signals sent from input channels etc., and send them to the corresponding output jacks or output buses.

There are three types of output channel, as follows.

Note

The DSP5D does not have MIX OUT jacks, MATRIX OUT jacks, or STEREO OUT jacks. Output channels are assigned to OMNI OUT jacks for use.

MIX channels 1–24

Signals sent from input channels to MIX buses are sent via these channels to the MIX OUT jacks 1–24 or the STEREO/ MATRIX buses. If the output patching is in its default state, the PM5D assigns MIX channels 1–24 to MIX OUT jacks 1–24, and the DSP5D assigns MIX channels 1–22 to OMNI OUT jacks 1–22.

STEREO A/B channels

The signals sent from input channels or MIX channels are sent via these channels to STEREO OUT jacks A/B. If the DSP5D’s output patching is in its default state, the STEREO A channel is assigned to OMNI OUT jacks 23–24.

Output channel operations

PM5D/PM5D-RH V2 / DSP5D Owner’s Manual Operating section 55

Page 56

6 Output channel operations

MATRIX channels 1–8

The signals sent from MIX channels or STEREO A/B channels to MATRIX buses are sent via these channels to the MATRIX OUT jacks.

•8 BAND EQ (8 band equalizer) (MIX channels and STEREO A/B channels)

This is an eight-band (four upper bands + four lower bands) parametric EQ.

•4 BAND EQ (4 band equalizer) (MATRIX channels)

This is a four-band (HIGH, HIGH MID, LOW MID, LOW) parametric EQ.

• COMP (Compressor)

This is a dynamics processor that can be used as a compressor, expander, or limiter.

• LEVEL

This adjusts the output level of the channel.

• ON (On/off)

This switches the channel on/off. If this is off, that channel will be muted.

• OUTPUT DELAY

This delays the output signal. It can be used to make fine adjustments in the relative timing between channels.

• OUT ATT. (Output attenuator)

This attenuates or boosts the level of the channel’s output signal.

• METER

This meter indicates the output level of the output channel. The level detection point can be switched.

• MIX to STEREO (MIX channels)

This is an on/off switch for the signal sent from the MIX channel to the STEREO bus.

• to MATRIX (MIX channels and STEREO A/B channels)

This is an on/off switch for the signal sent from the MIX channel to the MATRIX bus.

• PAN (MIX channels)

This adjusts the panning of the signal sent from the MIX channel to the STEREO bus.

• BAL (Balance) (STEREO channels)

This adjusts the L/R volume balance of the STEREO channel.

• LCR (Left/Center/Right) (MIX channels)

This sends the three-channel signal (left/right channels and a center channel) to the STEREO bus.

• INSERT

• OUTPUT PATCH

Here, output channels can be assigned to output jacks.

Hint

STEREO A/B channels, and MATRIX channels 1–8 are always connected to STEREO OUT jacks A/B, and MATRIX OUT jacks 1–8 respectively. However, you can also make output patch settings to send the signals of these output channels and MIX channels 1–24 to slots 1–4, the 2TR OUT DIGITAL jacks or the MIX OUT jacks.

EQUALIZER

Here you can edit equalizer parameters for the selected channel. The equalizer structure differs as follows between input channels and output channels.

❏ Input channels

You can use a four-band peak/dip type EQ (HIGH, HIGH MID, LOW MID, LOW). The HIGH band can be switched to an LPF or shelving type; the LOW band can be switched to a shelving type.

❏ Output channels

If a MIX channel or STEREO A/B is selected, you can use an eight-band peak/dip type EQ. (Operation is divided into UPPER and LOWER groups of four bands each.) For MATRIX channels, you can use a four-band peak/dip type EQ.

For any output channel, the HIGH band can be switched to shelving or LPF. The LOW band can be switched to shelving or HPF. For MIX channels and STEREO A/B channels, this can be specified for UPPER and LOWER, allowing you to apply shelving or filtering twice.

A EQ [ON] key

Switches the equalizer on/off for the selected channel.

B EQ [UPPER] key C EQ [LOWER] key

If a MIX channel or STEREO A/B channel is selected, these keys select the four-band group (UPPER or LOWER) that you will edit. (The LED of the currently selected key will light.)

If any other channel is selected, the LEDs of both keys will be dark.

Hint

By simultaneously holding down the EQ [UPPER] key and EQ [LOWER] key, you can return the EQ GAIN settings of the selected channel to a flat state.

D EQ [ ] key

If this key is on, the corresponding HIGH band EQ type will be switched to shelving. In this case, the HIGH band EQ [Q] knob will have no function.

EQ/HPF operations

Here’s how you can use the SELECTED CHANNEL section to edit the EQ (equalizer) and HPF (High Pass Filter).

EQ can be used on all input channels and all output channels. An HPF that is independent of the EQ is provided only for input channels. However even on output channels, you can switch the LOW band type to HPF.

Press a [SEL] key to select the channel you

want to control.

Four-band EQ (HIGH, HIGH MID, LOW MID, LOW) is provided on all input channels and on MATRIX channels.

Eight-band EQ is provided on MIX channels and STEREO A/B channels. (Control is divided into UPPER and LOWER sections of four bands each.)

In the SELECTED

CHANNEL section, make sure that the EQ [ON] key is on.

If you selected a MIX channel or STEREO A/ B channel in step 1, use the SELECTED CHANNEL section EQ [UPPER] key or EQ [LOWER] key to select the UPPER or LOWER group of four bands.

For each band, use the EQ [Q] encoder, EQ

[FREQUENCY] encoder, and [GAIN] encoder to edit the steepness, center frequency, and gain respectively.

If you are inserting an external digital device via a digital I/ O card as shown in “Insert connection example

3,” you

will need to synchronize the word clock of the PM5D and the external device. Normally, we recommend that you set the external device as a word clock slave, and make it follow the PM5D’s word clock. (For details on how to set your device as a word clock slave, refer to its manual.)

Hint

For the PM5D model, you can also use the rear panel INSERT IN/OUT jacks to insert an external device into an input signal, as an alternative to the method described above. In this case, the insert I/O point is fixed at immediately before AD conversion. Also, the steps described p.78 will not be necessary.

9 Grouping and linking

This chapter explains DCA Groups and Mute Groups which let you control the level or muting of multiple channels simultaneously, and EQ Link and Compressor Link which let you link EQ or compressor parameters of multiple channels.

About DCA Groups and Mute Groups

You can use eight DCA groups and eight mute groups to control multiple channels simultaneously.

DCA groups allow the level of multiple channels to be controlled together by the DCA faders 1–8 of the top panel DCA strip. A single DCA fader will control the level of channels belonging to the same DCA group while maintaining the level difference between the channels. This provides a convenient way in which drum mics can be grouped.

DCA groups 1–6 are for input channels only, but DCA groups 7/8 can be used with both input channels and output channels. Both types of channel can exist in an identically-numbered group.

Mute groups allow multiple channels to be switched on/off simultaneously by the SCENE MEMORY [1]–[8] keys in the SCENE MEMORY section of the top panel. You can use this to cut out multiple channels simultaneously.

Mute groups 1–8 can be used with both input channels and output channels. Both types of channel can exist in an identically-numbered group.

Items in the DCA strip

The DCA strip is where you control DCA groups 1–8.

Items in the ASSIGN MODE section

The ASSIGN MODE section lets you use the panel to assign channels to DCA groups or mute groups.

A ASSIGN MODE [DCA] key

This key lets you assign channels to DCA groups 1–8. While this key is blinking, you can use the [CUE] key of each channel to assign that channel to the currently selected DCA group.

10 Scene memory

This chapter explains how to store and recall the PM5D’s mix parameters as “scenes.”

About scenes

The PM5D can store and recall the current state of its mix parameters as a “scene.” Scenes are assigned a scene number of 000–500. Scene 000 is read-only, and cannot be overwritten. Other scene numbers may be rewritten freely.

A scene contains the settings of the panel controls (except for the TALKBACK section, CUE/MONITOR section, and the AD IN section of the PM5D model) as well as the settings of the functions and screens listed below.

• INPUT function settings

• OUTPUT function settings

• EFFECT PARAM screen settings

• GEQ PARAM screen settings

• SELECTIVE RECALL screen (SCENE function) settings

• FADE TIME screen (SCENE function) settings

• MIXER SETUP screen (SYS/W.CLOCK function) settings

• HA screen (SYS/W.CLOCK function) settings

However, input patch, output patch, and HA (head amp) settings are saved in the corresponding library, and the scene contains only a library number that links to these saved settings.

For example if the input patch, output patch, and HA (head amp) settings have been edited when you store a scene, the changes will be stored in the corresponding library, and the library number of these stored library items will be stored in the scene.

Hint

You can choose how the changes will be stored in the library; they can either be stored in a new unused library number, or overwritten onto the existing library number (➥ p.89).

When you recall a scene, the input patch, output patch, and HA (head amp) library numbers linked to that scene will be recalled simultaneously.

For each scene, you can specify whether to enable linking to these libraries (➥ p.175). For example if you turn off linking to the HA library for a certain scene, recalling that scene will not update the HA settings.

Note

By “head amp settings” we mean settings for the internal head amps of the PM5D-RH model and for an external head amp device that supports the special protocol (e.g., Yamaha AD8HR or AD824). The settings of the AD IN section of the PM5D model are not included.

Hint

If the PM5D and DSP5D are cascade-connected, storing a scene will cause the scene data to be stored in each the PM5D and in the DSP5D. When a scene is recalled, the same scene number is recalled on all PM5D/DSP5D units.

• NORMAL mode

This mode lets you store and recall scenes as usual. When you recall a scene in this mode, the current scene will be overwritten by the settings of the newly recalled scene.

• PREVIEW mode

This mode lets you preview the settings of a scene stored in memory without affecting the signal processing of the current scene. When you recall a scene in this mode, the mix parameter values of that scene will be shown in the PM5D’s panel, but the internal signal processing will remain as it was before the recall.

When you operate the panel keys or encoders at this time, the panel display will change but internal signal processing will not be affected. If desired, you can save the edited content in the desired scene number or library number.

As desired, specify the library numbers in

which the input patch, output patch, and HA settings will be stored.

To specify a store-destination library number, scroll the input patch, output patch, or HA library list, and click the desired number. (The number currently selected as the store-destination is highlighted.) The library number you select here is saved as part of the scene.

The default selection of store-destination will depend on the setting in the DEFAULT EDIT LIBRARY NO. area.

• If the NEW button is on

The lowest of the unused library numbers will be selected.

• If the OVERWRITE button is on

The number from which the library was originally recalled will be selected. (If this was a read-only library item, the lowest-numbered unused library number will be selected.)

Click the STORE button in the window.

A message will ask you to confirm the store operation.

Click the OK button.

The current settings will be stored to the scene number you selected in step 2, and the upper part of the screen and the scene number indicators will stop blinking. If any changes have been made to the input patch, output patch, and HA settings used by this scene, they will be stored in the corresponding library number.

Recalling a scene

Here’s how to recall a stored scene from memory.

Note

Before you continue with the following procedure, make sure that the SCENE MEMORY section SCENE MEMORY [PREVIEW] key is off (dark). (If it is on, turn it off.)

Using PREVIEW mode

Use the SCENE MEMORY [π]/[†] keys to

select the scene number that you want to recall.

When you select a new scene number, the scene number and name shown at the top of the display and the scene number shown in the scene number indicator of the SCENE MEMORY section will blink.

Press the SCENE MEMORY [RECALL] key.

A message in the display will ask you to confirm the recall operation. When you click the OK button, the scene number you selected in step 1 will be recalled.

If input patch, output patch, and HA libraries are linked to that scene, the correspondingly numbered libraries will also be recalled.

Hint

If desired, you can disable the link between the scene and these libraries, so that specific libraries will not be updated when you recall that scene.

Preview mode lets you check or edit the settings of a scene stored in memory without affecting the signal processing of the current scene. When you recall a scene in this mode, the settings of the newly recalled scene will appear on the PM5D’s panel, but the internal signal processing will remain as it was prior to the recall.

During an actual performance, it can be convenient to use this to check the content of the scene you intend to recall next, or to make minor changes to a scene and then store it.

In the SCENE MEMORY section, turn on the

SCENE MEMORY [PREVIEW] key.

The key LED will light, and the SCENE MEMORY section will operate in PREVIEW mode. At this time, the scene indicator at the top of the display will turn red, and the “PREVIEW” indicator will appear.

“PREVIEW” indicator

While in PREVIEW mode, operating the knobs, encoders, and other controls (except for the TALKBACK section, CUE/MONITOR section, and the AD IN section of the PM5D model) will not affect the audio signal processing.

Use the SCENE MEMORY [π]/[†] keys to

select the scene number that you want to recall.

The scene number will light in the scene number indicator.

Press the SCENE MEMORY [RECALL] key.

Only the setting values of the scene you selected in step 2 will be loaded and shown in the PM5D’s panel LEDs and display. However, the internal signal processing of the system will remain unchanged as it was prior to the Recall operation.

If desired, you can access a specific channel in the SELECTED CHANNEL section, or access a specific screen in the display to examine the values in detail.

If desired, use the controls of the console to

edit the settings.

Operating a panel control in PREVIEW mode will edit the settings of the scene you recalled in step 3, but will not affect the PM5D’s internal signal processing.

If you want to store the changes you made in

step 4, select the scene number in which you want to store the scene, and press the SCENE MEMORY [STORE] key.

The settings you edited in step 4 will be stored into memory.

To return the SCENE MEMORY section to

NORMAL mode operation, press the SCENE MEMORY [PREVIEW] key to make the key LED go dark.

Note

• PREVIEW mode applies to all parameters included in scene memory, all parameters included in the INPUT PATCH and OUTPUT PATCH functions, and HA parameters. PREVIEW mode does not apply to parameters other than these.

• Even while you are in PREVIEW mode, recall operations in the EVENT LIST screen or via MIDI messages will apply to the current scene. While in PREVIEW mode, operations of parameters that can be edited in the USER DEFINED screen will generally apply to PREVIEW mode, not to the current scene.

As a function similar to Selective Recall, there is also a “Recall Safe” function that lets you select channels and parameters to be excluded from recall operations ( fers from Selective Recall in that Recall Safe settings apply to all scenes.

In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the

[SCENE] key several times to access the SELECTIVE RECALL screen shown below.

SELECTIVE RECALL SELECTION MODE area

In the SELECTION MODE area in the upper

middle of the screen, choose one of the following two selection modes to specify how the SELECTIVE RECALL screen will operate.

• SAFE PARAMETER mode

Specify channels/parameters that will be excluded from Recall operations.

• RECALL PARAMETER mode

Specify channels/parameters that will be affected by Recall operations.

When you click a button to change the mode, a confirmation window will appear. Immediately after you switch modes, all channels/parameters will be subject to recall.

Use the buttons in the screen to select the

parameters/channels that will be subject to recall (or excluded from recall).

The SELECTIVE RECALL screen is divided into three areas. From the left, these areas let you make settings for input channels, output channels, and other parameters. The buttons in the screen correspond to parameters and channels as follows.

The functions and names of these buttons will depend on the currently-chosen SELECTION MODE.

• SAFE PARAMETER mode

The buttons will function as SAFE ON/OFF buttons to select the channels that will be excluded from Recall.

• RECALL PARAMETER mode

The buttons will function as RECALL ON/OFF buttons to select the channels that will be subject to Recall.

B Parameter matrix grid

Here you can select the parameters that will be excluded from (or subject to) Recall. If the ALL button is on, all parameters will be excluded from (or subject to) Recall.

A DCA/GEQ/EFFECT

These buttons specify whether DCA groups, GEQ modules, and internal effects will be excluded from (or subject to) Recall.

Note

DCA groups provide a WITH NAME button. This button excludes the DCA group name from the recall operation (or selects it as the object of recall).

In the upper left of the screen, switch the

SELECTIVE RECALL ENABLED/DISABLED button to ENABLED.

When this button is set to ENABLED, the Selective Recall function will apply to subsequently-stored scenes.

Store the current scene.

The settings of the SELECTIVE RECALL screen will be saved as part of the scene. When you recall this scene, only the selected channels/parameters will be excluded from (or subject to) Recall.

Note

• If you edit the settings of the SELECTIVE RECALL screen, you must store that scene in order to make your changes effective.

• Recall Safe and Selective Recall can be used together. Channels/parameters excluded from recall operations by either Recall Safe or Selective Recall (or both) will not be recalled.

B MUTE MASTER

This button specifies whether the Mute Master key on/ off status will be excluded from (or subject to) Recall.

C MIDI REMOTE (PM5D only)

These buttons specify whether MIDI remote layers A– D will be excluded from (or subject to) Recall.

D PLUG-IN (PM5D only)

These buttons specify whether the Waves plug-in DSP cards Y96K installed in slots 1–4 will be excluded from (or subject to) Recall.

E SET ALL

Using the Recall Safe function

“Recall Safe” is a function that excludes only specific parameters/channels from Recall operations. This differs from the Selective Recall settings (➥ p.92) made for individual scenes in that Recall Safe settings are common to all scenes.

In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the

[SCENE] key several times to access the RECALL SAFE screen shown below.

RECALL SAFE

Use the buttons in the screen to select the

parameters/channels that will be excluded from Recall operations.

The function of the buttons in the screen and the procedures are the same as in the SELECTIVE RECALL screen (when SAFE PARAMETER mode is selected), except for the fact that HA (Head Amp) SAFE ON/ OFF button is added as a parameter in the INPUT SAFE PARAMETER area.

The [RCL SAFE] indicator of the channel strip will light for input channels, STEREO A/B channels, and DCA groups for which Recall Safe is turned on.

Hint

• In the RECALL SAFE screen, clicking the parameter matrix grid will display a “ ” symbol with a “G” character in the center. This “G” indicates that the setting is global, and applies to all scenes.

• If desired, you can copy and paste Selective Recall settings from the currently selected scene into the RECALL SAFE

➥

screen (

• If you scroll the scroll bar downward, you will see that the CH column of the SAFE PARAMETERS area shows not only input channels but also input ports. If you set the HA of a certain input port to Recall Safe, the HA of the corresponding channel will also be set to Recall Safe. Even if they are assigned to multiple channels, the HA Recall Safe settings for corresponding input ports/channels will be linked.

• If necessary, you can turn on the HA+CH button in the SAFE KEY MODE SELECT area, so that when recall safe is turned on/off using the panel [RECALL SAFE] key or the RECALL SAFE button in the CH VIEW screen (INPUT VIEW function), recall safe will be also be turned on/off for the HA patched to the corresponding channel.

• Separately from the conventional Recall Safe functionality, the OUTPUT ISOLATION field allows you to specify output channels and parameters excluded from recall to be memorized in SETUP memory (which is not subject to memory card load operations) (➥ p.182).

p.183).

If you want to use the panel to switch Recall

Safe on/off for a channel, use the [SEL] key to select a channel and then press the SELECTED CHANNEL section [RECALL SAFE] key to make the key LED light.

Recall Safe will be turned on for the corresponding channel.

[RECALL SAFE] key

Note

By default, ALL is selected as the parameters that will be excluded from recall. This means that if you turn on Recall Safe from the panel, the Recall Safe setting will affect all parameters of the channel(s) for which it is turned on.

After you have finished making Recall Safe settings and you recall a scene, only the selected channels/parameters will be excluded from the Recall operation.

Note

Recall Safe and Selective Recall can be used together. Channels/parameters excluded from recall operations by either Recall Safe or Selective Recall (or both) will not be recalled.

Using the Fade function

“Fade” is a function that smoothly changes fader and pan to their new values over a specified duration when you recall a scene. The settings of the Fade function are made independently for each scene.

In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the

[SCENE] key several times to access the FADE TIME screen shown below.

In this screen you can select the channels that will use the Fade function, and specify the fade time and start offset time.

FADING ENABLED/ DISABLED button

In the upper left of the screen, click the FAD-

ING ENABLED/DISABLED button to select ENABLED.

When the FADING ENABLED/DISABLED button is set to ENABLED, the Fade function will be enabled for the faders in the current scene.

In the upper right of the screen, make sure

that the FADE TIME button is on.

The FADE TIME/START OFFSET buttons in the upper right of the screen select the parameter that will be edited in the lower part of the FADE TIME screen.

When this button is on, you can specify the fade time (the time over which fader and pan parameters will reach their new value) for each channel.

In the rows of buttons at the bottom of the

screen, click to turn on the buttons of the channels for which you want to enable the Fade function.

By clicking the SET ALL buttons located at the right of the screen, you can turn on the buttons of all input channels and all DCA groups, or the buttons of all output channels.

By clicking the CLEAR ALL buttons located at the right of the screen, you can turn off the buttons of all input channels and all DCA groups, or the buttons of all output channels.

Move the cursor to the box located immedi-

ately below each button, and turn the [DATA] encoder to specify the fade time for that channel. (Alternatively, click the / buttons at the left and right of the box.)

FADE TIME

FADE TIME button

Fade time

Hint

If the numerical value is displayed in light blue when you perform the above actions, this indicates that an offset time has been specified for the corresponding channel.

In the same way, specify the fade time for

other channels as well.

If desired, you can easily copy the fade time setting of a channel to another channel (➥ p.185).

In the upper right of the screen, click the

START OFFSET button to turn it on.

When the START OFFSET button is on, you can specify an offset time for each channel (the time from when the scene is recalled until the fader or pan parameter begins to change).

As you did in steps 4–6, specify an offset time

for each channel.

If you want to enable the Fade function not

only for faders but also for the PAN (BALANCE) parameters of input channels, set the INPUT CH PANNING ENABLED/DISABLED button (located in the upper middle of the screen) to ENABLED.

The FADING ENABLED/DISABLED button and INPUT CH PANNING ENABLED/DISABLED button can be set independently. Use the following two buttons to select the input channels to which this will apply.

• When the ALL INPUT button is on

The Fade function will apply to the pan (balance) parameter of all input channels.

• When the SAME AS FADING button is on

The Fade function will apply to the pan (balance) parameters of only the input channels selected in step

When you have finished making settings,

store the scene.

The settings in the FADE TIME screen are saved independently for each scene. The Fade function will apply when you recall a scene for which this button is set to ENABLED. After recall, the fader and pan (balance) parameter values will begin changing when the specified Start Offset Time has elapsed, and will reach their new values over the specified Fade Time.

Using the Tracking Recall function

“Tracking Recall” is a function that adds a specified offset value to each fader or level value when a scene is recalled. Tracking Recall settings are common to all scenes. For example if the original level of a certain sound source has changed, or if an actor was replaced by an understudy, this function provides a convenient way to adjust the level of that specific channel for all scenes.

In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the

[SCENE] key several times to access the TRACKING RECALL screen shown below.

In this screen you can select the channels that will use the Tracking Recall function, and specify the offset value for each channel.

ENABLED/DISABLED button

DISPLAY SELECT area OFFSET LOCK button

In the upper left of the screen, click the

TRACKING RECALL ENABLED/DISABLED button to make it indicate ENABLED.

When the TRACKING RECALL ENABLED/DISABLED button is set to ENABLED, the Tracking Recall function will be enabled for all scenes.

Using the buttons of the DISPLAY SELECT area

in the upper middle of the screen, select the type of channels for which you want to make settings.

• If the INPUT button is on

The screen will show the faders of input channels 1–48, ST IN channels 1–4, FX RTN channels 1–4, DCA groups 1–8, and STEREO A/B channels.

• If the OUTPUT button is on

The screen will show the faders of MIX channels 1–24, MATRIX channels 1–8, DCA groups 7/8, and STEREO A/B channels.

TRACKING RECALLTRACKING RECALL

In the row of buttons above the faders in the

screen, click to turn on the buttons of the channels for which you want to enable the Tracking Recall function.

Clicking the SET ALL button located in the upper right of the screen will turn on the buttons of all channels and DCA groups.

Clicking the CLEAR ALL button located in the upper right of the screen will turn off the buttons of all channels and DCA groups.

To set the offset value for each channel, drag

the fader upward or downward for a channel whose button you have turned on.

When you turn on the setting for a channel in step 4, the offset value is set to 0. The offset value can be adjusted in a range of –15 dB to +15 dB. The current value is shown in the box immediately below the fader.

Offset value

In the same way, specify the offset value for

other channels as well.

When you have finished making settings, turn

on the OFFSET LOCK button located in the upper right of the screen.

When this button is on, the offset values currently specified for the channels will be fixed; this prevents the offset values from being unintentionally changed.

When you recall a new scene in this state, the offset values will be added to the level of each channel when the scene is loaded. (However, the upper and lower level limits will not be exceeded.)

Note

Channels that are excluded from Recall operations by the Recall Safe or Selective Recall functions will not change even if Tracking Recall is turned on.

Using the Global Paste function

“Global Paste” is a function that lets you copy and paste settings of the desired channel or parameter from the current scene to scene data in memory (multiple selections are allowed). This is a convenient way in which changes to the current scene can be applied to scenes that have already been stored.

In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the

[SCENE] key several times to access the GLOBAL PASTE screen shown below.

In this screen you can select the copy-source channels/ parameters and specify the paste-destination scene data.

11 Monitor and Cue

This chapter explains the PM5D’s Monitor and Cue functions.

About the MONITOR and CUE sections

The MONITOR section sends the signal selected as the monitor source to the MONITOR OUT jacks. You can select the following signals as the monitor source.

• The input signal from 2TR IN ANALOG jacks 1/2

• The input signal from 2TR IN DIGITAL jacks 1–3

• The output signal of the STEREO A/B channels

• The output signal of the LCR channels

• The output signal of a pre-selected MIX channel 1–24 or MATRIX channel 1–8

Note

If the PM5D is cascade-connected to the DSP5D, the DSP5D’s cue operations will occur in tandem.

PM5D

The CUE section sends the cue signal of the channel/group selected by a panel [CUE] key to the CUE OUT jacks.

Hint

If the CUE INTERRUPTION button is turned on in the MONITOR screen (MON/CUE function), the Cue/Solo signal will also be sent from the MONITOR OUT jacks when Cue/Solo is active.

Note

Since the DSP5D does not have monitor functionality, the keys and knobs of the MONITOR section will always operate the settings of machine #1 (PM5D). Similarly, the CUE [LEVEL] knob will always operate the settings of machine #1 (PM5D).
