The Yamaha DM5C (DM5 Compact) is a single-bay digital mixing console built on the DM7 engine, with 48 mono input channels, 24 mix buses, 12 matrices, and 2 stereo buses running at up to 96 kHz. A 13.3" multi-touch main display, a 4.3" utility touchscreen, and 13 touch-sensitive motorized faders keep navigation fast and control hands-on in a small footprint. Built-in 64x64 Dante, 16x16 local analog I/O, and an 18x18 USB audio interface handle stagebox integration, multitrack recording, and virtual soundcheck. Show-file compatibility with DM7 and DM5 consoles makes the DM5C well suited for corporate events, theater, broadcast, and monitor positions where space is tight.
The DM5 Compact 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 DM5 Compact is configured with 13 faders and a 1 x 13.3” + 1 x 4.3” multi-touch screen with glass keys.
