Transporting, unloading, and setting up a sound reinforcement system at a venue can be one of the most laborious tasks a sound engineer undertakes. Not so with the DM3, which requires less space and time for configuration and physical setup thanks to flexible patching along with Quick Pro Presets, Editor and StageMix software, and Dante compatibility, minimizing system setup and configuration time considerably. Combining all this with 6 mix + 2 matrix + 2 effects processors, the DM3 is a powerful, compact, sturdy console that you can take anywhere.
- Lightweight construction for supreme portability—Thanks to precise structural design and material selection, the DM3 combines a light weight of only 6.5 kg with a robust housing that can stand up to the rigors of touring.
- Compact Dante-compatible console—Yamaha’s most compact Dante-compatible mixer, the DM3 delivers high-quality 96 kHz sound using 16 analog inputs and eight outputs with low latency, and matches perfectly with the optional Tio1608-D I/O Rack for simpler faster system setup.
- Effects to enhance the creativity of sound engineers—The DM3 comes equipped with two high-quality multi-effect processors featuring eighteen types of high-grade effects including the REV HD and REV R3—the first of its kind in Yamaha mixers—offering sound engineers the freedom to craft a sound that accurately reflects their own sonic sensibilities.
- QuickPro presets for fast setup with professional sound—The Yamaha R&D team has worked with well-respected engineers and major manufacturers such as Audio-Technica, FitEar, Sennheiser, Shure, Ultimate Ears, and Westone Laboratories to develop a selection of optimized QuickPro Presets for a wide variety of microphones and output equipment. With these practical presets, even the novice engineer can get very close to the ideal sound, while experienced engineers will appreciate the significant time savings they offer. Yamaha prepared more than 200 presets for input channels, covering everything from vocals to drum sets, all precisely tuned using a wide range of actual microphones and instruments. For output channels, Yamaha developed presets for a variety of speaker systems and in-ear monitors such as Ultimate Ears, with several variations to match different environments and room sizes. All of these can be used as they are when time is tight, but they are also great starting points for manual fine tuning. Setups created from the presets or from scratch can also be saved as additional presets.
- Scene Presets for your applications—Scene Presets are available for a variety of applications that use the DM3 for mixing, making setup quick and easy. Real world engineers in Yamaha’s R&D group created these presets to increase the speed of setup and allow more time for minor adjustments and rehearsal.
- A wealth of applications to support any venue—A wide range of applications help users respond as the situation demands, including DM3 Editor to complete settings in advance well before the performance, DM3 StageMix to remotely control the DM3 from onstage, and MonitorMix, which allows each performer to adjust their own monitor.
