New controls combine hardware reliability with software flexibility.

The glass keys on the display provide the tactile response of physical buttons when pressed, while dynamic labeling below the keys labeling enhances usability.

Thoroughly tested for durability, ensuring hardware reliability.

Unlike buttons with printed function names, these keys built into the display can change their labels dynamically to match their functions. For example, when Sends on Fader is active, the “ON” key label changes to “SEND ON.”

Four adjustable angles ensure that the display can always be set to the perfect position for operation.

Adjusting the display angle minimizes reflections from sunlight or overhead lighting.

You can find a comfortable viewing angle to suit your working position, whether standing or seated.

HA Assist suggests optimal head amp levels based on the input signal levels.

Naming Assist suggests channel names and icons based on input signal data.

Comp Assist suggests appropriate compressor parameter values based on the audio source, helping you build the foundation of your mix.

Fader Assist suggests a balance of fader levels for the channels it is assigned to.

Located within easy reach of the operator, the 4.3-inch display features six glass keys that can be freely assigned parameters. The display can also be configured to display the User Defined Keys and Fader Bank Select to suit your preferences.

Four User Defined Knobs beside the screen provide flexible hands-on control, allowing operators to assign their preferred parameters as they like. In addition, Dynamic Mode automatically follows selections in Selected Channel View and assigns the relevant function parameters, combining intuitive operation with customizable control tailored to each operator’s workflow.

Monitoring and control are supported for some 3rd-party wireless receivers. Supported devices: (confirmation required)

Remote control of mute and volume is supported on PC series amplifiers and other Yamaha power amplifiers and powered speakers, as well as the NEXO NXAMP.

DM StageMix

DM StageMix offers remote control from an iPad, ideal for fine-tuning monitoring from the stage and making adjustments from different positions in the audience. Two iPads can be connected via a Wi-Fi access point connected to the console, enabling simultaneous remote operation.

MonitorMix

The DM5 series also supports MonitorMix, an app that can be used as a personal monitoring system for performers. Access can also be password-protected, ensuring settings remain secure and allowing performers to use it with confidence.

ProVisionaire Control PLUS

Use ProVisionaire Control PLUS to create custom controllers that bring together just the parameters you want.

ProVisionaire Kiosk

In restaurants and other venues with live music, staff unfamiliar with the mixer may need to operate it, for example, to play background music (BGM) between sets. ProVisionaire Control PLUS lets you create a custom controller with just a BGM fader and a play button, simplifying operation and preventing mistakes.

DAW Remote functions help streamline your audio production and recording workflow by synchronizing the console with a DAW for tactile control of level adjustments, transport functions, and more, using the DM5’s faders, buttons, and knobs. Access to DAW Remote Mode is easy—just press the fader bank DCA and select “DAW Remote.”
