Driven by Music, Defined by Quality - The Yamaha DM7 Professional 120-Channel Dual Bay Digital Mixing Console
The DM7 is a Dante-equipped versatile digital mixing console with unparalleled sound quality, ease of operation, and high reliability that make it perfect for a wide range of applications. The DM7 is configured with 24 + 4 faders and 2 x 12-inch + 1 x 7-inch multi-touch screen.
DM7 series mixing consoles represent a sizable step forward in this evolution of form, functionality, and flexibility with their intuitive UI, compact design, and comprehensive suite of powerful features that allow them to outperform other mixers in their class in an impressive range of audio environments. From broadcasting, streaming, and music production, to live hybrid events and concert performances, the advanced capabilities of the DM7 series set a new standard in operability and workflow while simultaneously staying true to Yamaha’s sonic tradition of “natural sound”. As the times continue to change, your DM7 will keep you ahead of the curve with a user experience that’s a cut above anything in its class, and sonic performance well beyond the expectations of audiences and engineers alike.
Sound
Throughout Yamaha's long history of developing state-of-the-art digital mixers, there is one concept that we have consistently adhered too— the ideal starting point for sound creation is a totally natural, or “transparent” sound. This concept of natural sound is exemplified by the DM7 series high-end input section, producing a high-fidelity, uncolored sound that serves as the engineer's canvass to color, shape, and recreate, using the DM7 series built-in plug-ins, EQ, and dynamics. All in all, the DM7 series has evolved in every aspect to help engineers create their ideal sound.

Operability
Yamaha digital mixers are known for offering a high level of operability that professional users demand, staying up to date with the constantly evolving state of the art. The M7CL offers analog-like operability; the CL series, a more refined operation with a brushed-up version of Centralogic; and the DM7 series puts an emphasis on intuitive operation and high efficiency via multiple displays and an advanced Selected Channel View.

Design
Audio Engineers are far more than just concert staff doing “background work”. They may not be on stage, but they are an integral part of a live performance and require a high level of expertise, broad experience, and a sophisticated musicality that supports the artists' musical expression. Yamaha has been manufacturing musical instruments for over 130 years, and it is always a consideration during the design process to not only make a great sounding, eminently playable instrument, but also to focus on the form and aesthetic and how it will complement the artist playing it. In the DM7 series, we designed the consoles to be easy to operate so that mixing engineers can use them confidently and creatively even in challenging situations, while at the same time making them look sleek and attractive when they are being operated by the engineering artist helming them.

Functionality
Engineers are required to deftly respond to the various demands of each artist and client on a daily basis to deliver the best sound possible to their audiences. Yamaha has enabled the DM7 series with cutting-edge technologies that allow engineers to focus on being creative in a limited time frame and establish a fast and efficient workflow without compromise.
