Yamaha DM3-D 22-Channel Ultracompact Digital Mixer with Dante

The Yamaha DM3-D is an ultra-compact 22 channel digital mixer sure to get you your next gig. Capable of 96 kHz sample rates and Dante connectivity, the DM3 Series continues the Yamaha legacy of sonic purity, offering you the perfect canvas for mixing, recording, and streaming from a company that knows how to create music. When not on stage, DM3-D can be used as a DAW controller in the home studio. Built to make mixing easy the console encourages the engineer to focus on the music, utilizing a best in class, 9” touchscreen and a single Touch & Turn knob for managing most of the operation.

DO MORE

The word “compact” is often associated with limitations, and in the sound reinforcement world, often implies compromises in functionality, connectivity, or sound quality, and sometimes all three. Until now choosing a compact console has almost invariably been a matter of what you’re willing to sacrifice to get the capabilities you need in the space you have. The DM3 series of mixing consoles shatters this stereotype, offering superb sound quality, fast and easy setup and operation, and professional-level features for live sound, streaming, and live or home recording and music production—a combination unmatched in any other mixing console this size. In an ever-changing world that constantly presents new challenges as well as opportunities, DM3 mixing consoles give you the power and flexibility to do more with than you ever imagined with a compact digital console.

RAISING THE BAR FOR COMPACT DIGITAL MIXERS

In 1987 Yamaha released the first ever digital mixer, the DMP7, ushering in a new era of consoles that boasted greater functionality in a more compact design than their analog counterparts. Decades later the DM3 Series is setting a new standard for compact console performance, featuring versatile capabilities and extreme portability that make it an invaluable tool for a wide range of applications and environments. The DM3 Series comprises two models, the DM3S and the DM3—the first compact console to be fully compatible with Dante technology, allowing for faster and easier setup with multiple devices. Both consoles feature a multi-language user interface that can be configured to make operation simple and trouble-free for users with different backgrounds and varying skill levels.

Equally at home in a live performance venue or your home studio, it’s easy to imagine taking a DM3 Series console to a gig, recording and streaming the audio, and then taking it home for editing as part of your DAW setup. Alternatively, you could use it as a main mixer for a small performance one day, and as a sub-mixer for live streaming the next—the possibilities are endless.

FAST, FLEXIBLE, FULL-SPEC SETUP

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 Series 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 (DM3 model only), minimizing system setup and configuration time considerably. Combining all this with 6 mix + 2 matrix + 2 effects processors, the DM3 Series are powerful, compact, sturdy consoles that you can take anywhere.

PROFESSIONAL-QUALITY LIVE STREAMING HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER

Live streaming brings with it unique technical demands that are often a challenge to accommodate without additional outboard gear and the space it requires. The DM3 Series comes equipped with a USB connection that lets you go live in an instant, paired with a condensed suite of features such as matrices, flexible patching, and factory presets that are aimed specifically at making live streaming seamless and trouble-free. The compact design also makes the DM3 Series ideally suited to multi-console configurations where it would take on a live-streaming role while the other console is used for on-site mixing.

COMPREHENSIVE RECORDING AND EDITING FUNCTIONS IN A COMPACT BODY

A supremely portable, full-spec music production tool, the DM3 Series covers all the bases for your live recording and home editing needs. The DAW Remote function allows you to use a range of devices to control your mix and recording from anywhere in a live venue or recording environment, then take the results home for editing at your leisure. The recorded performances can be stored directly on a USB stick, on a PC connected via USB to HOST, or on a separate Dante-compatible device (DM3 only), and edited with the bundled Cubase AI software or the DAW suite of your choice.

YOUR SPACE, YOUR SETTINGS, YOUR LANGUAGE

With each different work environment comes a new range of challenges that place different demands on a console and on users themselves. The design of DM3 Series Consoles was created with this in mind, with a customizable interface that can be tailored to match user requirements and experience levels. For example, channel names can be displayed in different languages, and operations can be restricted by user account, while ProVisionaire Touch and Control offers the user has a control panel that can be optimized for a variety of applications.
