| Bob Dennis is scheduled to tour Yamaha
America and get the real scoop on Yamaha's latest professional console, the PM1D Digital
Audio Mixing System. The product has a console surface unit measuring
approximately 6' 3" wide and 3' 2" deep, containing 60 long-throw moving faders.
Working with console surface is one or two equipment racks (depending on your I/O
requirements). |
| The new console comes in 48 input and 96
input models with an overall price tag in the $100,000+ category. With Yamaha's
reputation the console is likely to be the console of choice for big-concert sound
reinforcement work. But since the system has so many great features I expect
it to also be the console of choice for many major recording studios. |
| Bob is interested in completely understanding
the new console and evaluating it as a training tool. Bob will also be checking out
the new Yamaha
AW4416 Workstation for possible use in RID training. |
| You can expect a review of these new Yamaha
products in the July 15, 2000 issue of REQ. |
| Recording Institute of Detroit's history with
Yamaha goes back to the early 1990's when the school installed an automated mixing system
using cascaded DMP 9 digital mixers. RID installed the 02R console as soon as it
became available. Robert Dennis has authored complete Quickstart manuals on these
products that are available though Alexander Magazine. |
