To Pair Mono Input Channels As Stereo; Output Patching - Yamaha PM5D Quick Start Manual

To pair mono input channels as stereo;

Output patching.

The main outputs (StereoA,B, CUE, MONITOR, MATRIX 1-8, ) have dedicated output XLRs on the back, but they are
also patchable to the MY slots or even the block of 24 Mix Output sockets. The 24 Mix outputs are patched to the 24
Mix out sockets by default, but they can also be patched to MY slots if you need outputs in a digital or analog format.
We will look at FX patching separately.
PM5D / PM5D-RH Quick Start Guide Part 3
On the console worksurface we can press and hold two
[SEL] buttons to make a pair, but in the Editor we must
use the Selected Channel window. Click on the
heart icon to make a paired (stereo) channel. All param-
eters except pan and HA are linked. To pair or Gang the
HA use the [Gang] button beside the HA control knob.
HA can be ganged with an offset if required.
Applying +48V to inputs.
On the regular PM5D model the +48V switch is located
above the analog gain pots but on the PM5D-RH model
the +48V is software controlled and so can be set in the
Editor.
There is a +48V switch in the selected channel or on the
INPUT CH window for each of the 24 channels.
Planning your outputs;
Only odd / even pairs can be linked to make stereo mixes
so if you use stereo outputs plan the mixes accordingly.
You can patch in an analogue style using XLRs in the
sockets on the back of the desk, but if you are using an
MY output card, for example MY16-AE to output into
AES/EBU inputs on amps then the output patch must be
used.
The "Examples" system requires analogue inputs to
IEMs and DSP amps so the output patching can be left
as one to one.
