Select from four EQ types to suit your sound sources and the way you build your sound, and use the real-time analyzer (RTA) display to aid in quick adjustment.

The flexible signal flow of the DM5 series puts you in control of your sound. Reorder processing—such as the EQ and Dyn2 stages—to shape both tone and dynamics with intent

Dugan Automixer makes it easy to reinforce multiple mics while maintaining an overall level that avoids feedback thanks to the Dugan Speech System™ algorithm.

Installing a PY-DSP card in the PY slot enables the use of Premium Rack plug-ins on the DM5 series. The PY-DSP also adds 32 slots (16 × 2) of plug-in processing resources to the DM7 series for sound shaping without compromise.

The Premium Rack features a wide range of plug-ins for diverse applications, including the Rupert Neve Designs Portico 5033 equalizer and the Portico 5043 compressor, developed jointly with Rupert Neve Designs, LLC—all designed to take your mixes to the next level.

The Premium Rack also comes with numerous Yamaha plugins that are highly regarded by sound engineers, such as Dynamic EQ, multi-band MBC4, Vintage Compressor, and the Dynamic noise suppressor DaNSe.

DM5 consoles are more than just compact. Designed with the operator in mind, the layout eliminates any unnecessary elements while preserving the space needed for efficient operation. A console depth similar to that of a laptop computer keeps the large 13-inch display within easy reach for intuitive operation. Light and compact, DM5 consoles are easy to transport and set up anywhere, making them ideal for a wide range of applications.

Yamaha mixers provide better operating environments for every stage of use. Choose either the Selected Channel View and Overview screens to suit the needs of individual operators and create a working environment that suits their needs.

When setting up and configuring your system, the Selected Channel View allows at-a-glance monitoring of signal flows for individual channels while you work, while Overview allows monitoring of settings during live performances or when working across multiple channels.

Channel visibility is a critical factor when it comes to operation speed. DM series consoles support multilingual channel name displays, enabling artist and instrument names to be shown in the operator’s own language for more intuitive operation. (Use the Editor or the StageMix app to input channel names in other languages.)

Adding Broadcast Package or Theatre Package to access functions essential to broadcast and theatrical applications.

The Broadcast Package adds seven essential broadcast functions, including Mix Minus, and Audio Follow Video, while the Theatre Package brings immersive control functions along with 4 Bank EQ/DYN, Actor Library, and other functions that are useful for musical and theater applications. A Loudness Meter will be added in the future updates.

Licenses are managed via the PV Portal app, which allows a single license to be activated and deactivated for use across multiple consoles. (Not available in some regions)
