• Precise 24-bit/96-kHz Audio and
High-performance Head Amps
Advanced custom DSP-7 LSIs feature 32-bit internal processing (58-bit
accumulator) at extremely high speed. Full functionality is provided when mixing
all 48 channels at 96 kHz. All analog inputs and outputs - including the 16
microphone/line inputs - employ precision 24-bit A/D and D/A converters for an
outstanding 110-dB dynamic range. Top-performance head amplifiers provide
precise, uncolored pre-amplification prior to A/D conversion, and optimum
circuit configurations and parts for all stages of the design were determined
through repeated listening tests by some of the best "ears" in the industry. The
DM1000 proudly stands alongside the DM2000 and 02R96 as one of the best-sounding
digital production consoles available.
• 48-input 18-bus Mix Capacity at 96 kHz
Although it is a compact rack-mount size console, the DM1000 offers generous
mixing capacity with up to 48 simultaneous inputs. All 48 input channels include
four-band parametric EQ, gating, compression/limiting, and up to 453
milliseconds of delay with variable feedback. What's more, all of this
functionality is available at 96 kHz. The output section also offers plenty of
versatility with 20 buses: 8 group buses, 8 auxiliary buses, and the main stereo
bus. Group buses 1 through 8 also function as surround buses, and a Bus to
Stereo function allows sound-reinforcement type sub-mixing as well as easy
downmixing of 6.1, 5.1, or 3-1 surround to stereo. The 8 auxiliary buses can be
used as surround effect sends, and there's a "Fix" function that automatically
sets the auxiliary buses to nominal (0 dB) level, so they can be used as
additional group buses.
• Powerful Channel Functions with Flexible Control and Patching
All 48 input channels feature powerful mixing functions including gate and
compressor dynamics processing, input attenuation, four-band parametric EQ with
a choice of Type I and Type II algorithms, channel inserts, delay, surround and
stereo panning, and phase. With the sole exception of gating the same functions
are provided on the 8 group buses, 8 auxiliary buses, and stereo bus.
Easy-access dedicated controllers are provided for routing, surround panning,
and EQ. Control data is graphically displayed via the LCD screen, and can be
saved in "libraries" for easy recall whenever needed. All inputs, outputs,
insert patch points, direct outputs, and effect sends and returns can be freely
patched to configure the system as required via graphical on-screen "digital
patching" displays: for example, you could patch one input to multiple channels,
or assign the signal from one bus to multiple outputs. The encoders associated
with each fader can be used to make input patch and direct out settings, and you
can save your patch settings as library data for recall when needed.
• Versatile Connectivity for a Wide Range of Applications
The DM1000 rear panel provides 16 microphone/line inputs with balanced XLR/TRS
jacks that feature top-performance head amplifiers for outstanding audio
quality. These inputs also offer individual phantom power switches. In addition
to these inputs four XLR-type "omni" inputs can be freely assigned to serve as
channel inserts or other functions. All analog inputs and outputs employ
precision 24-bit, 96-kHz converters. The analog outputs can be patched to any of
12 "omni" XLR-type outputs. Auxiliary, group bus, stereo bus, inserts, and
monitor outputs can easily be patched and configured to create the idea system
for your mixing requirements. AES/EBU format digital stereo input and output as
well as coaxial digital stereo input and output provides plenty of digital
connectivity. The I/O flexibility and compatibility provided by the DM1000 makes
it ideal for music production as well as live sound applications.
• Two I/O Expansion Slots for Easy Expansion in a Variety of Formats
Each of two Mini-YGDAI (Yamaha General Digital Audio Interface) expansion card
slots support up to 16 additional channels of digital I/O in AES/EBU, ADAT or
TASCAM format, as well as a range of other interface cards including
double-speed 96 kHz (AES/EBU) digital I/O cards, 96-kHz compatible AD/DA cards,
and a range of analog I/O cards. The DM1000 expansion slots also accept various
Mini-YGDAI compatible cards available from third parties.
• Four Advanced Multi-effect Processors Include Surround Effects
The DM1000's four internal effect processors deliver full functionality and
performance even when the console is running at 96 kHz. New effect programs such
as multi-band compression and surround-compatible 5.1 reverb and 5.1 modulation*
augment the console's processing capabilities, and can be used in a send/return
loop or as inserts effects.
* Each surround processor may occupy up to four of the onboard effect
processors.
• Comprehensive Interface with Touch-sensitive 100-mm Motor Faders
16 faders provide access to the console's 48 input channels in three layers: 1
through 16, 17 through 32, and 33 through 48. Add the stereo master and you have
a total of 17 top-quality 100-millimeter touch-sensitive motor faders. The bus
and auxiliary faders are provided in another layer, and two "remote" layers are
provided for external device control. A Fader Mode key additionally allows the
auxiliary send levels to be assigned to the faders. The rotary encoder and
switch associated with each fader can be switched to any of three modes via the
Encoder Mode key. The encoders can be used for panning or auxiliary send, as
well any other function you assign. You could assign input patching or direct
out assignments to the encoders to allow fast, efficient setup in your specific
work environment.
• Scene Memory and Automix Functions for Efficient Workflow
The DM1000 features automix capability with 1/4-frame resolution, allowing full
automation of parameters right down to the internal effects. Automix functions
can be assigned to the User Defined Keys for easy access. Scene memories allow
fade times and recall safe settings to be specified independently for each
channel, while recall safe can even be specified at the function level. The
supplied DM1000 Editor that runs on the Studio Manager application can be used
to manage scene and automix data on your personal computer.
• Versatile Pairing and Grouping Functions Enhance Mixing Efficiency
In addition to "horizontal pairing" of adjacent channels, the DM1000 allows
"vertical pairing" of channels on different layers so that, for example, you can
control up to 16 stereo sources from a single layer. Grouping functions include
the familiar fader and mute grouping, as well as sophisticated EQ and dynamics
grouping. The latter can be a great advantage when mixing surround sound.
• DM1000 Editor Software Supplied
The DM1000 comes supplied with an advanced DM1000 Editor application for Windows
or Mac computers. The DM1000 connects to your computer via the TO HOST interface
(USB), creating a production environment that goes beyond simple parameter
viewers. The Console Window, Selected Channel Module, Surround Editor, Patch
Editor, Effect Editor, Timecode Counter Window, and Library Window can be
accessed via the computer's expansive color display, and the main mixer
functions can be edited offline. Memory management functions allow DM1000 data
to be transferred to and from the computer where it can be managed and even
shared via LAN or the Internet.
• Sophisticated DAW or Digital Recorder Integration
In addition to its extensive stand-alone capabilities the DM1000 can integrate
with your computer-based DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) or digital recorder to
create an advanced digital production environment. The DM1000 can function as a
physical controller for both recorder and mixer sections of your DAW. The
standard library includes control compatibility with Digidesign Pro Tools® and
Steinberg NUENDO® workstations, and the General DAW mode supports a range of
other DAW systems. MIDI control tables can also be created to provide
functionality with MIDI-compatible DAW systems.
• An Ideal Platform for Surround Production
Surround panning was originally provided on the 02R and 03D, but the DM1000 goes
much further with a comprehensive range of features for surround production. The
Bus to Stereo function makes it easy to downmix 6.1 or 3-1 surround sources to
stereo, and the 3-1 output can be connected via Dolby Surround or DTS stereo
encoders back to a DM1000 slot input to allow real-time comparison between the
encoded and pre-encoded sound. A panning joystick is provided in the Selected
Channel control section to facilitate complex panning moves and trace specified
panning patterns. Surround panning features 127 x 127 resolution, and divergence
control is possible in 0 ~ 100 steps. Surround-compatible effects in up to
8-in/8-out configurations include 5.1 reverb, modulation, and dynamics.* EQ and
dynamics grouping is another feature that can be a great advantage for surround
production.
* Each surround processor may occupy up to four of the onboard effect
processors.
• Enhanced Surround Monitoring Environment Includes Bass Management
The DM1000 monitor section provides facilities for muting individual buses
(speakers), centralized level control of all monitor outputs, stem mix
monitoring, and real-time comparison between the encoded and pre-encoded Dolby
Surround or DTS stereo sound. Downmix processing allows 6.1 to 5.1, 6.1 to 3-1,
6.1 to stereo, 5.1 to 3-1, 5.1 to stereo, or 3-1 to stereo monitoring without
affecting the signal sent to the recorder. A Speaker Control function allows
fine control of the monitoring environment to match the program material you are
mixing as well as your working environment. All of the top-line DM2000 console's
surround features have been implemented in the DM1000, including bass
management, attenuators for precise speaker level control, and delay for
"virtual speaker repositioning".
• A Powerful Performer in Live Sound Settings
In one compact unit the DM1000 packs a powerful array of features that are ideal
for live sound applications. The User Assignable Layer function, for example,
lets you assign the input faders as well as mix bus and auxiliary master faders
to a layer for fast, easy access in live situations. There's also an HA Remote
function that can be used to remotely control Yamaha head amplifiers such as the
AD8HR. The fact that it provides an ample array of XLR input and output
connectors is another reason that the DM1000 is an excellent choice for live
sound mixing.
• Functions and Performance Fine-tuned for Professional Use
As a part of the Yamaha Digital Production Console lineup, the DM1000 delivers
professional performance and refined functionality that are on a par with the
DM2000 and 02R96. Some detailed features that pros will appreciate include a Mix
Minus function for easy mix-minus setup in broadcast applications,
gain-reduction display via the LCD screen, 6.1 surround support, global fade
time, global recall safe, and much more.
• Powerful New Functions for Applications from Production to Live Sound
to Broadcast.(Version2)
This significant upgrade places the DM1000 on the same performance level as
DM2000V2 and 02R96V2. And like the DM2000V2 and 02R96V2, the DM1000V2 has now
received THX® pm3™ certification. DM1000V2 offers an impressive range of
additions and improvements including enhanced surround capabilities, DAW control
for integrated production environments, refined automix performance, improved
monitoring for broadcast applications, and virtual VCA functionality as well as
AUX/SOLO link for live sound.

The DM1000V2 provides full support for all five of Yamaha's ADD-ON EFFECTS
packages (each package is sold separately). The advanced effects and
signal-processing capabilities provided by these packages are accessed and
operated via the console's internal effect processors in the same way as the
built-in effects. You can also use the DM1000V2 Editor application for effect
control.
• ESAMII Video Editor Support(Version2)
The main functionality of the 03D VEK video editing suite for the 03D digital
mixing console is now included in the DM1000V2 system software. This provides
support for major video editing devices that comply with the ESAMII protocol.
• A Major Studio Manager Evolution(Version2)
The Studio Manager application has undergone a major evolution, and is now a
host application that can support multiple editors (such as the DM2000 Editor
and SPX2000 Editor) within its framework. This offers many advantages including
total project recall, and future support is planned for recall from Steinberg's
Nuendo®/Cubase™ via the Studio Connections. Online and offline editing of
multiple DM1000V2 or 01V96V2 units is now smoother than ever. A variety of other
enhancements include Add-on Effect support, multiple windows, and improved
overall operability through shortcuts, keyboard operations, drag and drop, and
using the console's User Defined Keys to remotely open and close windows.

The new DM1000VCM is the DM1000 Version 2 plus a formidable array of
state-of-the-art processing technologies that provide all-new production power.
You now have extraordinary recreations of classic compression and EQ units from
the 70's, simulations of several legendary analog open-reel tape decks, a
complete suite of unmatched REV-X reverb effects, a surround post-production
package that is second to none, and even a selection of vintage stomp boxes to
spice up your mixes. And all of this is right at your fingertips, with no need
to patch in external processors.
The technology that has made all of this possible is some of the most advanced
in the world, and the sound is simply superb.
In short, one of the world's most popular digital production consoles just got a
lot more powerful.
• VCM Technology(DM1000VCM)
VCM technology is responsible for the classic compressor, EQ, analog tape deck,
and stompbox effect simulations in the DM1000VCM.
VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) technology actually models the characteristics
of analog circuitry - right down to the last resistor and capacitor. VCM
technology goes well beyond simply analyzing and modeling electronic components
and emulating the sound of old equipment. It's capable of capturing subtleties
that simple digital simulations cannot even approach, while actually creating
ideal examples of sought-after vintage gear.
• iSSP Technology(DM1000VCM)
iSSP technology is the key to the DM1000VCM's incredible selection of surround
post-production effects.
iSSP stands for "Interactive Spatial Sound Processing," and is Yamaha's original
new spatial sound effect system. Designed through extensive research and
exhaustive testing, this technology offers unparalleled reality, operability and
originality for surround processing applications. It delivers unprecedented
sound-field positioning precision and versatility, as well as realistic sound
source movement effects with simple operation that allows simulations of an
almost unlimited variety of spatial environments.
• REV-X(DM1000VCM)
"REV-X" is the advanced algorithm behind Yamaha's newest generation of reverb
and ambience programs, offering unprecedented reverberation depth and realism
with smooth decay. REV-X technology takes full advantage of the 24-bit 96-kHz
processing capability of the DM1000 for reverb and ambience effects that have
the reassuring warmth and reality of natural acoustic environments. |
