Main Features

The RIVAGE PM7 system features superb sound quality,
intuitive controls, and innovative functionality. It is a
state-of-the-art mixing system that supports a variety of
applications.
Superb sound quality
The design of the RIVAGE PM7 digital mixing system is
an uncomprised expression of Yamaha's philosophy of Pro
Audio device design. This philosophy is called "white
canvas, " and suggests that the ideal starting point for sonic
creativity is pure, natural reproduction achieved through
the use of high quality analog circuits. Only then can
sound be colored effectively by a variety of aural paints for
the desired creative impact. Numerous processing options
(such as plug-ins, SILK, etc.) enable powerful sound
production capabilities in the digital domain. Through a
fusion of analog and digital technologies, the RIVAGE
PM7 has achieved both the creation of a pure, transparent
sound, and fluid capabilities for coloring that sound.
Intuitive controls
The RIVAGE PM7 features a farther advanced top panel
controls, including large touch panel screens, a full
implementation of Yamaha's acclaimed Selected Channel
interface, and highly user-friendly USER DEFINED
KEYS/KNOBS section and TOUCH AND TURN knobs.
This feature provides the system's extraordinary
operability.
Innovative functionality
The RIVAGE PM7 also features abundant inputs and
outputs; flexible signal routing; powerful DSP processing
with two insert points; and scene memory and library
management that supports an enormous amount of
sophisticated requirements. The system also provides
numerous benefits for users by maintaining reliability
through power and network redundancy.
These core features are supported by state-of-the-art
technologies and an advanced level of product reliability
that have been cultivated through years of experience in
developing digital mixing consoles, such as the PM1D and
PM5D. The deep passion of Yamaha's engineering team
has been infused into the RIVAGE PM7.
