The Quintessential Compact
The acclaimed CL series raised live digital mixing console performance to an unprecedented level of refinement
with evolved sound quality, operability, and functionality, while maintaining the traditional values that have made
Yamaha digital mixers industry standards. Core features and performance inherited directly from the CL series,
including natural sound supported by sonically superb internal processing capabilities, operation that easily adapts
to the demands of just about any working environment, and built-in Dante networking that facilitates flexible
system configuration, have now been condensed and concentrated into the compact QL series digital mixing
consoles. QL series consoles offer all-in-one mixing, processing, and routing capability for small to medium scale
live sound, corporate speech events, installations, and much more.

Powerful Built-in Processing for
Broad Creative Control
The ability to respond swiftly and surely to multiple,
rapidly changing demands is essential for effective
live sound support. QL series consoles feature large
touch-panel displays as well as “Touch and Turn” knobs
that make up a remarkably smooth, efficient control
interface. Attention has also been paid to details such
as fader feel and channel name display visibility in order
to deliver a sophisticated overall operating experience.
Remote control and offline setup capability via an iPad
or computer adds even more refinement to an already
state-of-the-art operating environment. In addition to ample analog input and output capacity,
QL series consoles feature the same Dante audio
networking protocol that provides broad connectivity
in the CL consoles. There’s also an innovative “Port
to Port” feature that can patch any input port to any
output port so the QL console can function as a remote
I/O device for any other QL or CL series console, for
example. Other flexibility enhancing features such as
2-track and multitrack recording capability, and dual MY
expansion slots that allow processing capability or I/O
to be added as required, make the QL consoles suitable
for use as central components in an extensive variety of
sound applications.
The Yamaha sound begins with reproduction that
is faithful to the source. QL series consoles feature
circuitry and components that have been designed and
selected with the utmost care, achieving outstanding
audio purity from input to output. With that solid sonic
foundation it becomes possible to take full advantage
of built-in premium internal processors such as the
Portico 5033/5043 created in cooperation with Rupert
Neve, to shape and create as required. For a wide
range of speech applications built-in automatic mixing
functionality from Dan Dugan Sound Design provides
optimum channel balance while allowing the operator
to concentrate fully on optimizing the overall sound.
