Item available for local pick-up, or we will ship at the buyer's expense.(Manufacturer's Specifications) The Best Gets Even Better In the 30 years or so that have elapsed since the field of "sound reinforcement" began to emerge from the simple PA systems that were the norm throughout the 60's and early 70's, Yamaha has made significant strides toward perfection. When the very first PM console was introduced way back in '72, it was a front-line contender in the field, with superior performance and features. The same could be said of the PM1000, then the PM2000 … right up to the PM4000 which has become the de-facto industry standard. Each new model in the PM series has traditionally built upon and augmented the strengths of its predecessor, adding new features and functionality that became the templates that others would follow - the matrix mix system introduced on the PM1000 and the PM3000's VCAs are perfect examples. In a sense Yamaha has led the field of modern console design and production all the way. The same can be said of the incredible PM1D all-digital console, which has essentially defined the role of digital technology in sound reinforcement for the foreseeable future.The evolution continues to this day.The PM5000 is simply the most advanced analog sound reinforcement console in its class. It is a "pure analog" console in the audio sense, and it borrows freely from the world of digital technology to give you unprecedented control flexibility and efficiency. The PM5000 is the culmination of Yamaha's extensive experience and expertise in many areas - professional console design and production, control interface design, and of course sound itself. There's really only one choice if you need the best in terms of capacity, versatility, reliability and, most importantly, unmatched sound quality: the Yamaha PM5000. The Basics … Advanced Features That Set the PM5000 Apart If you're familiar with the industry-standard PM4000 console, you'll feel right at home with the PM5000. All the features that you want and need are still there, but with some significant improvements. The basic control layout has been retained, with a few modifications to accommodate the PM5000's new features. Great emphasis has been placed on the tactile aspects of the PM5000 interface to ensure the smoothest, most efficient possible operation. This section covers some of the innovations that can take your mixes to the next level. Analog Evolution Continues - Advanced Circuitry and Sound The PM5000 takes full advantage of the latest analog technology - both in terms of the devices and components used and the way in which they are used in refined new circuitry - to deliver unprecedented sonic quality. But achieving such performance is not easy, because there are no simple equations that describe the way a circuit will sound once it is built. It's a process of trial and error - build, test, listen, and repeat until the sound is right. This is both technology and art. Thorough Grounding Measures for Maximum Performance In a console the size of the PM5000 grounding is critical - and not only to minimize hum and noise. Proper grounding can mean the difference between merely "good" and "great" sound. The PM design team has gone to unprecedented lengths in the PM5000 to maximize performance through no-compromise grounding measures such as the use of a solid, seamless plate of 3-millimeter thick high-purity copper running the entire width of the console for the main system and mix buss ground. Other "tweaks" include locating ground lines adjacent to audio lines for maximum noise cancellation, and of course totally separating and isolating the digital ground from the critical analog ground. Top-performance Head Amplifiers It's safe to say that an overwhelming portion of the sound quality of any console is determined by its head amplifiers. It is here that the greatest amount of gain is applied, and it is therefore this stage that has the greatest potential to degrade the delicate audio signals it must handle. Special care and attention was given to head amp design in the PM5000. The approach was to simplify the circuitry as much as possible in order to minimize signal deterioration, and use the finest parts available throughout. The results are audible - you won't hear anything but the input signal, with every delicate nuance fully intact. 35-bus Configuration for FOH and Monitor Applications The 35
