The pursuit of perfection is still ongoing and will probably never end, but at least along the way, Yamaha has introduced a number of innovations that have become industry standards, offering the best performance and the ergonomics that users continue to demand. By definition, “standards” are meant to be kept as they are. All by being improved through a refined evolution, of course.
A creative console for sound engineers with ideas
All sound engineers, artists and the audience agree: sound quality is paramount. It is a fact. Based on analysis, questioning and refinement of all the details of the circuits and the technology used, the Yamaha CL Series consoles ensure superior sound quality and many possibilities of sound ” colors “, offering a extraordinary creative freedom to the sound people who will use them. They offer a large number of signal processors, from the most including the Portico 5033 (EQ) and 5043 (compressor) – combining Yamaha VCM technology with Rupert’s legendary talents Neve. A pure and natural platform, which allows engineers from the sound to create and deliver the ideal sound
Efficient and enjoyable use
A truly comfortable PA console is the one that is able to adapt to the requirements that may be evolving quickly and spectacularly in the field of entertainment alive. Efficient and intuitive operation is key. The concept Yamaha-exclusive CentraLogic is at the heart of a user interface refined, offering a new, unprecedented level of efficiency Operational: visual feedback, shape and feel of the faders and orders. The CL Series consoles are also ready for a remote control and online editing via an Apple iPad® or another computer. The control is familiar and intuitive, and simultaneously offers a great freedom.
Scalable and versatile network functions.
In the world of digital live sound, in Rapid evolution, network features are rapidly becoming fundamental, even indispensable. The CL Series Consoles separate the console part and the I/O rack part, which communicate via the Dante™ audio network protocol – enabling rapid design and deployment of systems capable of the simplest as well as the most complex tasks. The Ability to integrate Lake® processors via expansion slots further adds to the versatility and adaptability of the system, for To meet the most diverse mixing needs.
Basic platform: natural sound
The most advanced digital audio technology available advanced technology has been applied for the CL series to provide a natural sound and therefore an ideal basis for the imagination of the artist and his engineer. Such sound quality cannot be obtained only with specifications. Long series of repeated listening evaluations by some of the finest Ears of the company have been an indispensable part of the process. The CL Series digital mixing consoles prove that the efforts and time to develop them have been well spent.
Sound is everywhere
The challenge starts at the entrances to the console. In order to achieve the required level of sound quality, components, power supplies, grounding, tracing of the circuits, mechanical construction, and countless other details initial steps must be chosen and designed with the utmost care. Evaluation listening is becoming an important part of the development process from this first stage. Change does not could a single electronic component change the sound of the and the slightest variations must be noted and evaluated during development. Extreme measures have been taken. sockets to maximize AD and DA conversion performance, up to perform detailed spectral analyses of the AD/DA master clock and adjusting the routing FPGA clock signal so that the its most natural and musical sound. Another essential part of any audio system is the power supply. Of course, his capacitors are important, as are capacitors. The ground circuits must be designed to ensure the highest impedance low possible. The resulting sound is an eminently of the input signal, providing an ideal basis for processing and the effects that will eventually lead to the “polished” sound.
A prodigy of quality and creativity
Creating the best sound possible in many places by meeting the requirements of the artists, the sound engineers rely on their experience and imagination to invent methods and make creative decisions. The mixing console, the first tool in the hands of the must be able to accommodate them all. Of course, the essentials The sound quality remains, and that’s just one of the areas in which the CL series excels. They also have part of the Most advanced analog circuit modeling technology available to add a unique character and if necessary, sculpt the sound, while maintaining the highest sound quality.
A new approach to digital: the benefits of analogue
Rupert Neve is a legend. His contributions in the fields of audio recording and production began at the dawn of our time and continues to this day in the form of mic preamps, EQs, compressors, and mixing consoles that are standard of professional audio.
Obviously, Mr. Neve’s sound is to be taken with the utmost seriousness, so it is an honour that he and his company, Rupert Neve Designs, have officially recognized the Yamaha VCM (Virtual Circuit Modeling) technology as the first of its kind capable of accurately modeling sound that they have championed for so long. Thanks to VCM technology, digital audio is able to match the sound quality of these analog circuits.
VCM, developed by Toshi Kunimoto (” Doctor K “) and his team at Yamaha, the ” K Lab ” division, is a concept of modeling electronic circuits that simulates in a The most detailed features of electronic circuits, from simple components such as capacitors and resistors up to the most efficient solid-state circuits with unmatched precision. But precision is not the only consideration, musicality is also essential, and the VCM modeling offers both at the same time.
The CL Series consoles are equipped with the VCM models of the famous Portico 5033 Neve equalizer and of the Portico 5043 compressor/limiter, developed in close collaboration with the collaboration with Rupert Neve Designs. A rich range of other studio-quality VCM equalizers and compressors are also included in the console. You’ll hear the difference.
A sound system that really Useful is a console that can keep pace with rapid evolution applications related to live sound. Intuitive operation is essential to be effective. Yamaha’s famous Centralogic concept is now is at the heart of an improved user interface that provides a Unprecedented level of operational efficiency on the CL Series, since central visualization to control by faders and encoders. CL consoles are also ready for on-site control. seamlessly integrated distance and offline editing via a Apple iPad ® or another computer. Control is easy and intuitive, while at the same time offering a great deal of freedom.
A prodigy of quality and creativity
At the heart of the consoles of the CL range is CentraLogic user interface, a Yamaha exclusive, very appreciated, assuring that these new models will be immediately familiar to thousands of live engineers.
Overview – an analogue tune…
The visual continuity of the faders from the Centralogic section to the panel touchscreen of the console allows a simple, direct, unmistakable display ambiguity the edges of an analog console. All slices input channels of the console and output channels can be instantly assigned to the Centralogic section in groups of 8 channels.
The Selected Slice: Another Yamaha Industry Standard
The Selected Channel screen provides a Overview of the many controls and functions available for The selected slice. Physical controllers corresponding to the left side of the screen are labelled and arranged in the same way as the on-screen controls, providing reassuring access and operation. The now standard CL Series interface includes a number of improvements that greatly facilitate its operation.
A prodigy of quality and creativity
The way in which the functions of the CL series and the controls work together is a perfect example of how the whole can be greater than the sum of its elements. As part of the larger user interface, the the visibility, feel, and accuracy of individual encoders, Buttons and switches are an essential part of a good apprehension of the tool. The right balance of the system, as well as enhancements such as programmable wafer labels and colors, assignable encoders, function keys make its operation, in a word, sublime.
New fader design
No details of the shape or the function has been neglected, as the new elegant curvature of the Fader knobs that fit comfortably fingers under any what angle. Visibility is important too, so the edges Buttons are sculpted to give a clear view of the position of the fader, pretty much from any angle.
Editable spine labels (and color indicators!)
The slice labels displayed above each fader automatically switch between a more large font size for short names, and the display of Pan and fader values. Below each label there is slices a light bar whose color can be chosen from eight different ones, the same as those used in the touchscreen Central, which makes it possible to quickly identify the type of unit and its name. Brightness can be adjusted for optimal visibility in all ambient lighting conditions.
Direct access to settings
The function keys defined by Yamaha digital consoles are already a standard. The new assignable encoders of the CL will soon have the same status. Many of the console settings can be assigned to all four encoders by the user for direct access and instantaneous. Another advanced control feature is to have Custom fader layer selections, allowing you to have a a single layer of input faders, outputs, DCAs, monitoring faders simultaneously as needed.
Harmony of lines and functions
The shape of the surface of CL consoles is not only elegant, but it provides the best possible view of all controls and displays. The visual continuity of the section from the Centralogic faders to the touchscreen display is very smooth. The hand rest is made of real oak with a Beautiful ebony that matches the visual and tactile sophistication of the general design.
The network’s capacities are underway to become fundamental and indispensable in the hectic world of its digital live. The CL Series systems consist of consoles and separate I/O racks that communicate via the Dante ™ network protocol, allowing simple and fast implementation an extremely efficient audio network. The ability to add a Lake ® processing card via expansion slots also adds to the versatility of the system and its adaptation to a wide range of mixing.
A fast and flexible audio network: Dante
The complexity and variety of current public address systems make it vital to have a fast configuration and adaptability. Of course, the highest level of sound performance must be maintained at the same time. The CL series consoles use the network protocol developed by Dante Audinate to allow flexible connection of multiple units I/O rack configurations configured and located according to the needs of application, while at the same time providing redundancy for a Superior reliability.
Up to eight I/O converter racks
Dante directly supports the hub-and-spoke network configurations, so that up to eight I/O racks can be connected to any CL console while being located in the ideal location where they are required to minimize the length of the analog links of low voltage signals such as microphones. From simple adjustments to DIP-switches allow you to modify the configuration of the network as needed.
Very easy to use
The ability to even set up complex systems quickly and easily is another advantage of Dante networking. In most cases, the devices on the network are recognized and set up automatically. And in addition, the Patch operations that typically require a separate computer can be done directly from the CL console.
Redundancy = Reliability
Dante also makes it easy Increase system reliability. The hub-and-spoke network allows the use of primary and secondary redundant lines for each peripheral, for the highest reliability in applications criticism. With this type of configuration, a malfunction in a cable or network component will not put the entire system in peril. The show will still take place.
Full control of Face/Return configurations
Multiple CL Series Consoles can share gain control from the same I/O rack, offering unprecedented system flexibility and use efficient system resources. A gain compensation function adds the possibility of combining front and monitor consoles. Thus, changing the analog gain by one of the consoles does not changes the level on the other console.
Sharing of input/output resources with compensation for gains
An obvious disadvantage of connecting multiple consoles to a single rack I/O module is that the gain adjustments made from a console can cause Unexpected gain changes on other consoles. The Gain Function Compensation implemented in CL consoles ensures that when The analog gain stage is adjusted on one of the consoles, the compensation is automatically applied in the digital domain, so that the level sent by the I/O unit in Rack to network-connected consoles remains constant.
Digital Gain Control
Gain compensation applied after the analog gain levels are set is fully carried out in the digital domain. The digital gain control that is another innovative feature of the CL series allows to achieve Smooth, smooth gain adjustment without interfering with a smooth other console connected on the same network.
The complete toolbox for live
The quality and variety of effects have become important factors in the choice of a digital live audio console. Studio-quality sound is a must, but it’s so much more convenient to have the processors within reach of hand. CL Series consoles feature virtual effects racks that include a selection of effects that have been chosen and developed to meet the real-world needs of sound system. Everything you need to create sounds in The perfect match for your application is in the console.
The Premium Rack: Studio Standards for the Stage

The new Premium rack can accommodate up to eight effects to choose from six EQ effects and dynamic systems, including the Rupert Neve Designs Portico 5033 EQ and Portico 5043 Compressor / Limiter. The ability to use Some of the most renowned studio effects in the mixes of Live can help you achieve even better sound quality by any place.
Effects rack with nearly 50 presets
In addition to the Premium rack described above, the CL consoles have an effect rack that allows Simultaneous use of 8 effects from a library of 46 effects and 8 insert effects, all of exceptional quality. In addition, each of the 8 effects in the effects rack can be replaced by a 31-band graphic equalizer unit as required.
Rack of 32 31-band graphic correctors
CL consoles also have racks for inserting 31-band graphic EQs into the output buses as needed to correct the acoustics of a place. Up to 16 GEQ 31-tape units can be mounted in the racks for simultaneous use, and these GEQ units can be individually switched to Flex15GEQ mode, providing two EQ channels that allow 15 bands to be used at the same time. times. With a full rack of all GEQ units running in Flex15GEQ, you have a total of 32 EQ channels graphic.
