Application Examples

1. Remote Microphone Preamplifer Control
Using MY-series expansion cards and the PM5D's HA REMOTE output, it is possible to receive input from and remotely control up to eight high-performance Yamaha AD8HR
8-channel A/D converter with remote preamp.
The AD8HR's mic preamp gain can be remotely controlled in steps of 1dB directly from the PM5D. There's also a high pass filter and phantom power supply integrated into
each channel that can be turned on and off by remote control. The filter's cut-off frequency is also remotely adjustable.
This Head Amp Remote Control function makes it possible for the AD8HR to be used as a stage box. In addition to the many advantages that this offers, digital connection of
the AD8HR and PM5D using an AES/EBU cable reduces analog wiring requirements to the bare minimum.

2. F.O.H for Concerts
If the DSP5D will be located near the PM5D V2 at the front-of-house position, you
can connect it to the console via a pair of D-sub 68-pin cascade cables. In the
setup shown here, with a single DSP5D cascaded to a PM5D V2, you have 96
microphone inputs and 48 omni outputs (24 Mix buses, 16 Matrix buses). Other
peripheral gear such as a playback device for BGM and/or effects can be mounted
in the same rack as the DSP5D.

3. Concerts Using the DSP5D as a Remote I/O
If the console needs to be located a significant distance from the stage you can add
a DCU5D Digital Cabling Unit so that the DSP5D can be located on stage and
connected via a "digital snake" consisting of a single CAT5 Ethernet cable. The
DCU5D is connected to the console via a pair of D-sub 68-pin cascade cables. In
addition to the 48 inputs and 24 outputs provided by the PM5D V2 itself, you now
have another 48 microphone/line inputs and 24 omni outputs on stage. (Totally 24
Mix Buses, 16 Matrix buses, 48 OMNI outs). Of course, all DSP5D functions can
be controlled directly from the PM5D V2 console. You could also add one or two
MY-card output interfaces such as the MY8-DA96 to the DSP5D, and use them to
drive an on-stage power amp rack for monitors and FOH speakers.

4. Dual DSP5D for Theater and Performance
If you need more on-stage I/O capability for complex staging, for
example, add a second DCU5D and DSP5D as shown in the system below.
The second DCU5D is connected to the first DSP5D via a pair of D-sub
68-pin cascade cables, and an Ethernet cable connects to the second
DSP5D. In this example each DSP5D drives a power amplifier and FOH
speaker - a fast and easy setup for theaters that don't have a built-in
sound system that will handle the job. Monitors could also be easily
accommodated if required. Wireless receivers can be connected directly
to the DSP5D units for reliable performer mic pickup. This setup gives
you 96 microphone/line inputs and 48 omni outputs (24 Mix buses and
24 Matrix buese) on stage.
