The standards stay,
but innovation never ends.
A truly useful sound reinforcement
console is one that can keep pace with the
rapidly and dramatically changing
demands of live sound applications.
Ecient, intuitive operation is essential.
Yamaha’s acclaimed Centralogic concept
is the core of a rened user interface that
oers a new, unprecedented level of
operating eciency in the CL series, from
visual feedback right down to the form
and feel of the faders and controls. The CL
consoles are also ready for seamlessly
integrated remote control and oine
editing via an Apple iPad® or other
computer. Control is familiar and intuitive,
while at the same time oering extensive
freedom.
Ecient, enjoyable operation
The pursuit of perfection is ongoing and will probably never end, but along
the way Yamaha has introduced a number of innovations that have become
industry standards oering performance and familiarity that discerning users
continue to demand. By denition, “standards” are best kept as they are. With
evolutionary renements, of course.
Yamaha CL series digital mixing consoles represent a new level of renement.
They oer an evolved experience in accessible mixing, plus sonic purity with
sound shaping capabilities that will give the most imaginative engineer
unprecedented creative freedom. The CL series embodies the leading
standards in live sound in their most advanced, most expressive form.
Every engineer, artist, and audience
agrees that sound quality is the bottom
line. That’s a given. Through thorough
analysis, review, and renement of every
detail of the circuitry and technology
used, Yamaha CL series consoles deliver
naturally superior sound plus a
comprehensive range of “coloring”
options that give the sonic craftsmen who
will use them extraordinary creative
freedom. The signal processors provided
are plentiful and of the highest quality,
including extraordinary Portico 5033/5043
EQ and compressor devices that bring
Yamaha VCM technology together with
the legendary talents of Rupert Neve. The
platform is pure and natural, so the
engineer can create and deliver the ideal
sound.
Network capabilities are rapidly becoming
fundamental and indispensable in today’s
fast-paced world of digital live sound. CL
series consoles feature separate console
and I/O rack components that
communicate via the Dante™ network
audio protocol, allowing fast, ecient
design and deployment of capable
systems from the most basic to the
dazzlingly complex. The ability to add
Lake® processing via expansion slots also
adds to the system’s versatility and
adaptability to the widest range of mixing
needs.
