The core of the Yamaha RIVAGE PM7 digital mix system includes the CSD-R7 console, TWINLANe-based RPio622 and RPio222 I/O racks, and Dante-based Rio3224-D2 and Rio1608-D2 I/O racks. The CSD-R7 console is the central component, positioned directly below the current RIVAGE PM10 mix system.
With an emphasis of preserving workflow, the CSD-R7 is the same size as the CS-R10 control surface but with the DSP engine built into the console to provide enhanced portability and system flexibility while maintaining high operability. Providing 120 input channels, 60 mix buses, 24 matrices, and a selection of 48 top-quality plugins, the PM7 provides mixing capacity that is comparable to the PM10 (144 input channels, 72 mix buses, 36 matrices, and 50 plugins).
USER FOCUS: TC Furlong (Lake Forest, IL) has added the new RIVAGE PM7 to its rental inventory. “Our new PM7 is the front runner in our extensive rental fleet of Yamaha digital consoles that includes everything in the CL, QL and TF lines as a well as the still-popular legacy products like PM5D, M7CL, and LS9,” states Jeff Cech, general manager of TC Furlong, who’s pictured here (left to right) with Brian Grahn (sales manager) and Steve Whittenhall (operations manager).
OF NOTE: A Dual Console function allows the CSD-R7 to be connected to one of the PM10 system control surfaces (CS-R10 or CS-R10-S). A CS-R10-S, for example, can be used at front of house, for monitors, or as a sidecar expansion console for the CSD-R7.
