The Standards Stay, But Innovation Never Ends.

The pursuit of perfection is ongoing and will probably never end, but along the way Yamaha has introduced a number of innovations that have become industry standards offering performance and familiarity that discerning users continue to demand. By definition, "standards" are best kept as they are. With evolutionary refinements, of course.

Yamaha CL series digital mixing consoles represent a new level of refinement. They offer an evolved experience in accessible mixing, plus sonic purity with sound shaping capabilities that will give the most imaginative engineer unprecedented creative freedom. The CL series embodies the leading standards in live sound in their most advanced, most expressive form.

Every engineer, artist, and audience agrees that sound quality is the bottom line. That's a given. Through thorough analysis, review, and refinement of every detail of the circuitry and technology used, Yamaha CL series consoles deliver naturally superior sound plus a comprehensive range of "coloring" options that give the sonic craftsmen who will use them extraordinary creative freedom. The signal processors provided are plentiful and of the highest quality, including extraordinary Portico 5033/5043 EQ and compressor devices that bring Yamaha VCM technology together with the legendary talents of Rupert Neve. The platform is pure and natural, so the engineer can create and deliver the ideal sound.

 

A truly useful sound reinforcement console is one that can keep pace with the rapidly and dramatically changing demands of live sound applications. Efficient, intuitive operation is essential. Yamaha’s acclaimed Centralogic concept is the core of a refined user interface that offers a new, unprecedented level of operating efficiency in the CL series, from visual feedback right down to the form and feel of the faders and controls. The CL consoles are also ready for seamlessly integrated remote control and offline editing via an Apple iPad® or other computer. Control is familiar and intuitive, while at the same time offering extensive freedom.


I/O Rack Options for a Wide Range of Applications
Four rack-mountable I/O units with different input and output configurations are available for use with the CL series consoles. The 5U size Rio3224-D provides 32 ins, 16 outs, and four AES/EBU outputs, while the 3U size Rio1608-D has 16 ins and 8 outs. The compact 1U size input-only Ri8-D and output-only Ro8-D are excellent choices where you only need inputs or outputs in a specific location. All four units can be used in any combination required for the application, communicating with the console via Dante network protocol for low-jitter, low-latency digital audio.
