Yamaha RIVAGE PM10 Digital Mixing System – A New PM Generation
Yamaha RIVAGE PM10 Digital Mixing System – A New PM Generation
For more than 40 years that have passed since Yamaha's first professional live sound console was released, the PM series has been responsible for a number of important milestones in the history of sound reinforcement. Many of those innovations have become standard tools that professionals depend on to this day. And now, launching a new generation of PM consoles, the RIVAGE PM10 is here.
Under the fundamental philosophy of Yamaha live sound consoles, a new Hybrid Microphone Preamplifiers have been designed and newly-developed, that takes Yamaha’s Natural Sound analog section and achieving a pure, natural sound. Additional, the colorful palette of Rupert Neve Designs has introduced to the Yamaha RIVAGE PM10 digital mixing system.
Yamaha's digital mixing consoles have one of the longest and deepest impressions in the sound reinforcement industry, making the PM series of digital mixing console the first choice for many live sound events, companies, and venues. The console offers audio sonic quality, operation, functionality, reliability, expandability, and more, the digital mixing console, RIVAGE PM10 is a thoroughly refined flagship that defines the direction for future generations. It is a worthy heir to the PM name that brings true innovation to the evolving live sound scene.
Yamaha RIVAGE PM10 has a compact control surface designed to be an open networkable and scalable system. The console connects via a digital audio network, interfacing with the Yamaha DSP engines, up to eight I/O racks and RY/HY cards. The control surface itself has three banks of 12 faders over which sit three large, colorful touchscreens. The right-most screen displays Yamaha’s popular “Selected Channel” interface (as found on the PM1D) that allows one-touch access to virtually every setting of any channel. The left two screens offer "Centralogic" control over the faders beneath. The PM10’s user interface appears to benefit from several evolutionary improvements over its predecessors.
Yamaha RIVAGE PM10 console has a newly developed Hybrid Microphone Preamplifier design with an analog section that represents the Yamaha Natural Sound concept in its most advanced form. In the digital stage, evolved Yamaha VCM digital modeling technology recreates the characteristics of Rupert Neve Designs transformer circuitry and acclaimed SILK processing to achieve an extraordinarily musical, spacious sound. The channel EQ and dynamics have been significantly upgraded as well, offering expanded capability for expressive sonic control.
Internal plug-ins that supports imaginative sound engineering has also taken a large evolutionary leap forward. Particular effort has been focused on collaborations with other manufacturers that are already receiving accolades. In addition, to new VCM models of acclaimed EQ and compressor units from the 70’s and 80’s that have been jointly developed with Rupert Neve Designs, our first collaboration with TC Electronic has resulted in the inclusion of two exceptional reverb processors, and an Eventide Harmonizer is currently under development. An extensive selection of plug-ins, including popular types from previous Yamaha digital consoles, gives engineers the tools they need to create the perfect sound for every situation.
Everything is to aim at reproducing and creating the most musical sound possible. The RIVAGE PM10 audio sonic quality results from exhaustive research and design with one resolute purpose: to achieve the highest possible sonic quality.
It is the sound engineer's job to deliver the performance from stage to audience in the best possible way. Since the mixing console is the engineer's primary tool, its operability is crucial, particularly in today’s rapidly evolving live sound environment. The RIVAGE PM10 system features a Hybrid Operation Style that takes the most highly valued aspects of Yamaha digital mixing consoles to a new, refined level that gives engineers unprecedented expressive control.
Underpinning the system’s extraordinary operability is a full implementation of Yamaha's acclaimed Selected Channel interface on the right side of the prominently raised control surface top panel, allowing all parameters of the channel selected to be directly and intuitively controlled. The left side of the panel features two large LCD touch screens that provide logical continuity with the faders below, offering Centralogic style control of a large number of simultaneous channels. In addition to these two interface features, encoder position visibility has been enhanced, as have a number of other details that contribute to significantly improved operability overall.
Notable new features include Overlay and Isolate filters for enhanced scene memory operation, a Follow option for the send masters and direct outs, and more. There are also upgraded features for flexible live recording, dual monitor outputs, and a wealth of other details that add up to smooth operation and integration in a wider variety of working environments.
With operation and features designed to comprehensively support today's live sound scene, RIVAGE PM10 allows engineers to focus on the sound and enjoy the creative process.
