Yamaha DM3 Digital Mixing Console

Yamaha DM3 Digital Mixing Console

The Yamaha DM3 is a powerful, feature-rich digital console that offers exceptional sound quality, quick and simple setup and operation, and professional-level features for live sound, streaming, live or home recording, and music production. Audio professionals looking for an ultracompact digital mixer should look no further.

With the DM3 mixing console, you can do more with a compact digital mixer than you ever imagined, thanks to its power and flexibility. With a 9" touchscreen and a single touch-and-turn knob to control the majority of the console's functions, it is a perfect example of the less-is-more design philosophy. The user experience is similar to that of a smartphone.

One of the hardest things a sound engineer has to do is move, unload, and set up a sound reinforcement system at a location. This isn't the case with the DM3, which saves significant space and time for configuration and physical setup because of flexible patching, Quick Pro Presets, Editor, and StageMix software. With six mixes, two matrices, and two effects processors, the DM3 is a robust, portable, and small console you can take wherever you go.

Live streaming has special technical requirements that are frequently difficult to meet without additional outboard equipment and the necessary space. The DM3 has a USB connection that allows you to go live instantly. It also has a streamlined feature set that includes factory presets, flexible patching, and matrices, all of which are designed to make live streaming easy and trouble-free. The DM3's small size also makes it perfect for setups with multiple consoles, where one console is used for on-site mixing and the other for live streaming.

The DM3 is an incredibly portable, full-featured music production tool that meets all your at-home editing and live recording needs. With the help of the DAW Remote feature, you can record and mix using various devices from anywhere in a live setting or recording studio. You can then take the finished product home and edit it whenever it suits you. The performances that have been recorded can be immediately saved to a USB stick, opened on a PC that is connected to HOST via USB, and edited using the included Cubase AI program or any other DAW suite of your choosing.

Every new work environment brings a new set of difficulties that put varying demands on both the console and the users. This was considered when designing the DM3 Consoles, which have an interface that can be customised to meet different users' needs and skill levels. For instance, ProVisionaire Touch and Control provides the user with a control panel that can be tailored for a range of applications and channel names can be displayed in multiple languages. Additionally, operations can be restricted based on the user's account.
