Advanced features and functions are only of real value if they are easily accessible, easy to use, and make sense
within the context of the production process. The Yamaha DM2000 has been designed on the strength of past successes plus invaluable feedback from
leading engineers and artists worldwide. It is the latest step in an ongoing evolution that makes more production power,
creative potential, and operational efficiency available than ever before. Version 2 further builds on experience gained from
the original DM2000, taking takes interface ease-of-use and versatility to unprecedented levels.
Extraordinary Power &
Flexibility In an Intuitive Interface
96 Channels in 4 Layers
One of the advantages of working with digital is that it allows maximum
power and flexibility to be packed into minimum space. The DM2000’s
24 precision 100-millimeter motorized channel faders, for example, can be
instantaneously layer-switched to control any of 96 channels. So you have
96 channels in the space of 24, and switching between layers with the
channels right in front of you can be a lot faster and easier than trying to
locate a desired channel on a massive spread-out console. More importantly,
all operations can be carried out without having to move away from the
monitoring “sweet spot”. Encoder mode now features an assignable function,
Alternative Layer, which enables you to control the channel level for all 48
channels without switching between layers.
Extraordinary Patching Flexibility
All available inputs, outputs, effects, and channel inserts can be assigned to
any of the console’s channels or outputs via the DM2000’s remarkably
versatile, easy-to-use digital patching system. For example, any of the 8 effect
processors can be assigned to an auxiliary buss for send-type operation, or
inserted directly into any input channel as required. A direct out function also
allows the signal from any of the 96 input channels to be routed directly to
any digital or analog output in the system. Further, a 22 by 8 (4-stereo)
matrix mix system in the DM2000 can be used to provide cue monitor mixes,
downmix monitoring for surround production, or zone level control for
sound reinforcement applications. The fully flexible patching system makes 22
of DM2000’s busses (eight record/subgroup busses, 12 auxiliary sends, L/R
stereo buss) and four stereo matrixes — to be assigned to any available
output connector.
I/O Expandability and Plug-in Capability
The DM2000’s real I/O versatility comes in the form of six Mini-YGDAI
expansion slots. The expansion slots are 24 bit/96 kHz compatible, so you can
select I/O and processing cards to provide the input/output configuration and
processing capabilities that are perfect for your needs. Whether you need
digital I/O in ADAT, TASCAM, or AES/EBU format, CobraNet connectivity, or
extra analog I/O capability, the appropriate Mini-YGDAI cards are available.
Channel Name and FL Display
A much-appreciated feature of Yamaha’s ground-breaking PM1D digital
sound reinforcement console is individual channel name displays. The
DM2000 has inherited this feature so you can identify channels at a glance
— a particular advantage when switching between mixing layers. In addition
to the default 4-character channel name display, you can hold down the SEL
key for any channel to see a long name of
up to 16 characters displayed across the
8-channel section. Version 2 adds fader
level and port name display functions.
With graphic FL display, you can see the
status of the channel at a glance.
Integrated DAW Control
The DM2000 has been designed to integrate tightly
with leading digital audio workstations to create a
complete production and mixing environment. Extensive support for
Digidesign’s Pro Tools
®
system provides full control of mixing and
processing parameters, as well as transport/track-arming control and access
to editing functions, directly from the DM2000 control surface. The new
Advanced DAW Control Protocol, initiated by Yamaha and Steinberg, enables
you to control DAW software such as Nuendo
®
and Cubase SX
®
by using
DM2000’s SELECTED CHANNEL section. (Controllable functions vary
depending on the DAW software and version you are using.)
Studio Manager Version 2
Software Supplied
Control from a personal computer? Of course! And Yamaha even supplies the
software. The DM2000 comes with the Studio manager application for both
Macintosh
®
and Windows
®
platforms, allowing total control and
management of all DM2000 parameters via a comprehensive graphic
interface. Studio Manager Version 2 offers even more advanced networking
potential than the original version, functioning as a complete central
management system for digital mixing.
