Since launching the PM1D in 2000, Yamaha has monitored and analyzed how it has been used in a wide variety of situations. These include live tours and major international events, concerts in famous halls and theaters, and unit usage at broadcasting studios, etc. Based on this observation and on user feedback, Yamaha developed a list of further wishes and requests and analyzed these minutely. Having integrated this research into the product, we now offer the PM1D Version 2, which comes with high-quality reverb based on a new algorithm (Add-On Effects), remote control functions, and numerous other features that make it even more user-friendly. This new solution promises maximum efficiency and supreme sound quality in line with the requirements of whatever scenario. Along with the new upgrade, we are announcing additional new Mic/Line Input cards and third-party-manufactured devices for use with the original PM1D, to further enhance its functions. The PM1D will continue to be a flagship model of digital consoles, as is clearly reflected in the name of the new upgrade – PM1D Version 2.

‘ADD-ON EFFECTS’ Inside
Many of the latest and highest-grade effect programs have been added to the PM1D Version 2. Choose from three types of effects groups known as Add-On Effects, which have already become favorites with professionals thanks to their installation in the PM5D, the PM1D’s sister model, and the DM2000 Version 2, a much-praised production console. Add-On Effects include a recording-studio-grade compressor, a vintage EQ, and an effector that offers tape compression derived from open deck recording, as well as the Reverberator REV-X, which uses Yamaha’s exclusive new algorithms. You’ll be able to master the use of these latest effects while using the PM1D Version 2.
Remote Control Support
This function, demanded by many venues, allows the PM1D to be remotely controlled from near the stage, even when it is placed in a relatively distant location such as a control booth. A computer running the PM1D Manager software, in conjunction with any of the DM2000, 02R96, or DM1000 compact digital mixers, can be used as a remote control device. Using a digital mixer that combines excellent portability with small size offers a new solution that can be flexibly applied to a wide variety of situations.PM1D parameters capable of remote control are Head Amp, GAIN, ATT, EQ, GATE, COMP, MIX SEND, FADER, ON, and SURROUND.
Automatic Gain Adjustment
When using PM1D for FOH (Front Of House) and Monitor in conjunction with an input device, even if the master PM1D, which has head amp control authority, changes
the gain, the HA slave PM1D instantly and automatically maintains the level.
Load Filter / Save Filter
This function manages the PM1D’s internal memory more effectively. It supports loading and saving of determined PM1D parameters, as well as loading of selected parameters to determined memory areas and the saving of selected parameters as specified memory data.
Event List
The event list is now easier to use than ever. Until now only TIME CODE setting was possible, but with this new feature, scene memories that have been arranged in a particular order can be recalled by specified events either by INTERVAL TIME or MANUAL. Set the order of the scenes into an event list that you can change freely. This provides tremendous usability for venues including theaters.
Fader View
The newly installed Fader View displays the ON, FADER, and CUE for all input channels, all output channels, stereo channels, and DCA. 48 ch + 4 stereo + all DCA faders are viewable on a single screen, and the display can be switched between CH1-48, ST IN 1-4 and CH49-96, ST IN 5-8.
Auto Store Overwrite
Library Overwrite Mode can now be selected during Auto Store of scenes.
Insert / Delete Channel
The newly added function allows you to insert or delete the input and output channels. Channels in the inserted or deleted range can be picked up and shifted to the end. This
also works with any of the Mix, Matrix, and Stereo channels.
Direct Out from Pre High Pass Filter
PreHPF has been added at the output point for the Direct Out signal. The inputted signal can be sent directly to a recorder. Plus, the Direct Out signal level can be adjusted from -8 to +10dB.
Assignable Functions Added to User Define
GEQ Select and Tap Tempo have been added as settable components with the User Define Key.
GR Meter Display
The Gain Reduction Meter is displayed for the Gate/Comp of all input channels and the Comp of all output channels.
Enhanced Factory Preset Memory &Additional Libraries
Engineers who know the PM1D inside-out have updated the factory preset scene memory for even greater practicality. Plus, input EQ and input CH libraries have been augmented to 200 from the previous 100.
Expanded Recall Safe Functions
An automatic Recall Safe function for UNIT settings has been added. This function can be used for units patched with channels set at Recall Safe.
Supports MY8-DA96 Card
Supports the MY8-DA96, which carries out DA conversion for 8 channels.
* PM1D does not operate in 96-kHz mode.
