Artist1D is an optical interface for the PM1D Digital Audio Mixing System. It was developed and manufactured by RIEDEL in collaboration with YAMAHA. Using fiber-optic cable, Artist1D can transmit audio and control signals bidirectionally between DSP1D (the DSP engine of PM1D) and CS1D (the control surface).
The use of fiber-optic cable allows for a range of up to 500m when sending and receiving audio signals. It is possible to manage up to 80 channels with various controls. High reliability is also realized by various means including the use of AUX fiber-optic cable and compatibility with PM1D's mirror mode.
