Virtual Rack with Top-quality Effects
There's no need for external effect racks with an LS9 console, both models provide a Virtual Rack that's packled with a complete range of effects that will cover just about any processing requirements. Up to 4
multi-effect processors can be used simultaneously, and you can use as many as 8 graphic equalizers.
The internal effect library offers 48 preset effects ... including the acclaimed REV-X reverb effects. In
addition to the standard 31-band single-channel GEQ units, you also have 2-channel Flex15GEQ units that allow up to 16 15-point GEQ units to be used simultaneously. Both GEQ types allow convenient band adjustment via
the console faders, and the channel ON keys can be used to instantly reset the corresponding band to zero boost/cut. |

Intuitive Interface
Yamaha's popular Selected Channel interface allows smooth, intuitive access to the more detailed channel functions via a color LCD display and an array of logically arranged encoders. And no matter what display
is showing, you can instantly return to the main display by simply pressing the HOME key. This interface has been refined and proven over many generations of Yamaha digital mixing consoles. |

Recall Safe and Recall Focus...Right Down to Head Amp Gain
The Yamaha LS9-16 scene memory allows instant store and recall of all console parameters, including head amp gain. The Recall Safe function can be used to exclude specified channels from scene recall operations, making
it possible to leave sound effect or MC channels unaffected by scene recall, for example. There's also the Recall Focus function that makes it possible to specify which function group will be affected by scene
recall: head amp, virtual rack, input patch, output patch, input channel, or output channel. |

USB Memory Recording and Playback
The Yamaha LS9-16 includes a two-track audio recorder/player that uses a standard USB memory. That means you don’t need any extra equipment to record live or play BGM or sound effects. Record MP3 files at 96 128, or 192 kbps,
or play MP3, AAC, or WMA files at bit rates from 64 to 320 kbps. 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz sampling rates are supported. Transfer a freshly recorded live performance from the USB memory to a computer and broadcast via the Internet in a matter of minutes! |

LS9 Editor
Yamaha LS9-16 Editor is a freeware application that allows parameter viewing and control via a computer. When connected to the console and used online it provides comprehensive metering as well as real-time display of selected
channel status. Offline you can edit and manage scene data, patch lists, and other functions for a significant boost in control and work efficiency. And where a rental or installed console must be used, you
can simply save your settings to a USB memory and load them into the console when needed. LS9 Editor is a great way to manage backups too. |
