PM5D rider specifi cations;

When specifying a PM5D console, we suggest you make it clear which model you prefer; PM5D (Manual Head Amp) 
or PM5D-RH (Recallable Head Amp). Also specify you need the latest console fi rmware, any MY cards, spare PSU, 
desk lamps and mains power for your laptop to run Studio Manager. Always provide your own PCMCIA card for data 
back up and loading and remember your USB cable for Studio Manager connection!
If you need more inputs than one PM5D can provide you can cascade link (bus link) multiple PM5Ds or from summer 
2007, you can specify a DSP5D “console expander”. These extra channels can be remotely located using a lightweight 
cat-5 cable if you specify the DCU5D cable unit.

Other Yamaha specifi cations;

Did you know you can also specify Yamaha DME64N DSP engines for extra matrix options and extra graphic EQ 
controlled from the PM5D or for speaker processing, format conversion and many other useful functions. Yamaha make 
touring grade amplifi ers and professional installation loudspeakers too; details from www.yamahaproaudio.com.
