PM5D / PM5D-RH Quick Start Guide Part 3
PM5D set up: a walk through guide.
In part 1 of the guide we did a walk through of how to set up the PM5D as a monitor desk for a particular large monitor
set up. In this section we will use the same rider information to set up the same show but using PM5D Editor and not
the console. The same techniques would apply for a FOH or Broadcast set up.
PM5D rider specifi cations;
When specifying a PM5D console, we suggest you make it clear which model you prefer; PM5D (Manual Head Amp)
or PM5D-RH (Recallable Head Amp) and if you need DSP5D and DCU5D for extra channels.. Also specify you need
the latest console fi rmware, any MY cards, spare PSU, LA1L desk lamps and mains power for your laptop to run Studio
Manager. Always provide your own PCMCIA card for data back up and loading and remember your USB cable for
Studio Manager connection!
PM5DV2 Editor files can be loaded by either console hardware version, but the Editor software version must be
compatible with the console fi rmware version. The latest versions are always available from www.yamahaproaudio.com
together with a compatibility list. But as a rule of thumb the latest console version will always accept same release and
older version .PM5 fi les. Problems may only arise when a newer version of Editor is used to create a fi le for a console
running on old fi rmware. Yamaha always recommends that you use latest versions of console fi rmware to avoid this
potential problem, but if this is impossible create older .PM5 fi les by using PM5D Editor V1. If you intend to go on-
line then you will need concurrent versions. If necessary you can carry current console fi rmware with you on a suitable
PCMCIA card and be prepared to upgrade the console.
