Page 9: Introduction
Introduction Thank you Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha M7CL digital mixing console. In order to take full advan- tage of the M7CL’s superior functionality and enjoy years of trouble-free use, please read this manual before you begin using the product. After you have read the manual, keep it in a safe place.

The rear panel provides three slots in which separately sold mini-YGDAI cards can be installed. AD cards, DA A second M7CL unit or a digital mixer such as the cards, or digital I/O cards can be installed in these slots to Yamaha PM5D connected via a digital I/O card installed add inputs and outputs.
Page 11: Differences Between The M7Cl-48 And M7Cl-32
Differences between the M7CL-48 and M7CL-32 Differences between the M7CL-48 and M7CL-32 The M7CL is available in two models; the M7CL-48 and the M7CL-32. These models differ as fol- lows. ■ M7CL-48 This model provides 48 INPUT jacks and 48 INPUT channels.
Page 12 This model provides 32 INPUT jacks and 32 INPUT channels. INPUT jacks 1–32 are located at the right side of the right panel, just as on the M7CL-48 model, but there are no INPUT jacks at the left side of the rear panel.
Page 13: Output Channels
These channels are used to process monaural signals. By L/C/R playback. default, the input signals from the monaural analog input When the M7CL is in the default state, the following out- jacks (INPUT jacks 1–32 {INPUT jacks 1–48}) are put ports are assigned.

About the MIX bus types (VARI / FIXED) • About word clock • Conventions in this manual• About the firmware version About the MIX bus types (VARI / FIXED) The sixteen MIX buses provided on the M7CL can be assigned either as VARI or FIXED types in pairs of adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered buses (→ p. 212). Each type has the following characteristics.

Page 41 Main speakers Use the 2TR OUT DIGITAL jack to send the M7CL’s internal signals to an external digital audio device. When the M7CL is in the default state, the output signal of the STEREO channel is patched to the 2TR OUT DIGITAL jack, and can be used to record the main mix onto a CD recorder or other device.
Page 42: Installing An Option Card
Before you install I/O cards in slots 1–3, you must check the Yamaha website to determine whether the card is compatible with the M7CL, and to verify the total number of Yamaha or third-party cards that can be installed in combination with that card.
Page 43: Setting Up To Use The M7Cl
Setting up to use the M7CL This section explains the setup required when starting up the M7CL for the ﬁrst time. We will also discuss basic operations for sending an input channel signal out from the STEREO bus so that you can check the connections.
