Introduction

Chapter 1
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha M7CL digital mixing console. In order to take full advan-
tage of the M7CLs superior functionality and enjoy years of trouble-free use, please read this
manual before you begin using the product. After you have read the manual, keep it in a safe
place.
The M7CL is a digital mixing console with the following features.
The M7CL is a full-digital mixing console containing the
latest digital technology, designed for installed systems or
SR applications. 24-bit linear AD/DA converters are used
to deliver up to 108 dB of dynamic range and amazing
sound quality.
As input channels, it provides 32 (M7CL-32 model) or 48
(M7CL-48 model) monaural INPUT channels, and four
stereo ST IN channels.
As output channels, it provides 16 MIX channels, eight
MATRIX channels, a STEREO channel, and a MONO
channel. L/C/R three-channel output using the STEREO/
MONO channels is also supported.
The user interface has been completely redesigned for
simple and intuitive operation.
A dedicated channel strip with fader, cue, and on/off con-
trol is provided for all frequently-used input channels and
the STEREO/MONO channels. This mixer can be com-
fortably operated even by users who are new to digital
consoles.
The SELECTED CHANNEL section located at the left of
the display lets you use the knobs to control the main
parameters (gain, EQ, dynamics threshold, bus send lev-
els, etc.) for the particular channel on which you’re focus-
ing. This section can be operated just like a module on an
analog mixer.
In the center of the top panel is located the newly devel-
oped Centralogic section, which lets you control eight
channels at once. You can control fader, cue, and on/off
settings for the eight channels or DCA groups recalled to
this section by pressing a single key. The display is a touch
screen. You can turn functions on/off or select items sim-
ply by touching buttons or knobs in the screen.
Mix parameter settings, including head amp gain and
phantom power for input channels, can be stored and
recalled as “scenes.All faders on the panel are motorized
moving faders, so that when you recall a scene, the previ-
ous fader locations are reproduced immediately.
High-quality multi-effect processors are built in, with up
to four available simultaneously. Effects such as reverb,
delay, multiband compression, and various modulation
effects can be routed via internal buses or inserted into the
desired channel. 31-band graphic EQ and a newly devel-
oped Flex15GEQ are also provided, and can be inserted in
any channel or output.
The Flex15GEQ allows you to adjust the gain for any fif-
teen of the thirty-one bands.
Since two GEQ units can be mounted in the same rack, a
total of up to sixteen GEQ units can be used simulta-
neously. To use effects or graphic EQ, you mount them in
the eight virtual racks shown in the touch screen. The cur-
rently-mounted modules can be seen at a glance, and you
can switch modules and change input/output patching in
an intuitive manner.
Thank you

A second M7CL unit or a digital mixer such as the
Yamaha PM5D connected via a digital I/O card installed
in a slot can be cascade-connected in the digital domain.
Of the MIX buses, MATRIX buses, STEREO/MONO
buses, and CUE bus, up to twenty-four buses can be cas-
caded individually.
The available functionality can be restricted for users
other than the administrator, with three levels of security;
Administrator, Guest, and User. Passwords can be speci-
fied for the administrator and users, preventing important
settings from being changed accidentally.
Information specific to each user (user level, system set-
tings, and user-defined key settings) can be stored on a
USB storage device as a “user authentication key.” By
loading your own user authentication key from a USB
storage device, you can instantly set up the ideal operating
environment for yourself.
The rear panel provides three slots in which separately
sold mini-YGDAI cards can be installed. AD cards, DA
cards, or digital I/O cards can be installed in these slots to
add inputs and outputs. If an external head amp unit (such
as the Yamaha AD8HR) that supports a special protocol is
connected to the REMOTE connector, the phantom power
and gain settings of the external head amp can also be
remotely controlled from the M7CL.

M7CL Owner’s Manual
Introduction
1
The M7CL provides the following input channels and output channels.
This section processes an input signal and sends it to vari-
ous buses (STEREO, MONO, MIX, MATRIX). There are
two types of input channel, as follows.
INPUT channels 1–32 {1–48}
These channels are used to process monaural signals. By
default, the input signals from the monaural analog input
jacks (INPUT jacks 1–32 {INPUT jacks 1–48}) are
assigned to these channels.
ST IN channels 1–4
These channels are used to process stereo signals. By
default, the input signals from EFFECT RETURN 1–4 are
assigned to these channels.
Signal assignments to the input channels can be changed
as desired.
This section mixes the signals sent from input channels
etc., and sends them to the corresponding output ports or
output buses. There are three types of output channel, as
follows.
MIX channels 1–16
These channels process the signals sent from input chan-
nels to the MIX buses, and send them from the output
ports. These are used mainly to send signals to the monitor
system or to external effects. The signals of MIX channels
1–16 can also be sent to the STEREO bus, MONO bus, or
MATRIX buses.
When the M7CL is in the default state, the following out-
put ports are assigned.
MATRIX channels 1–8
These channels process the signals that are sent from input
channels, MIX channels, STEREO channel, and MONO
channel to the MATRIX buses, and send them from the
output ports. Using the STEREO and MONO buses, dif-
ferent combinations of signals and mix balances can be
sent out from the M7CL.
When the M7CL is in the default state, the following out-
put ports are assigned.
STEREO channel / MONO channel
These channels process the signals that are sent from the
input channels or MIX channels, and send them to the cor-
responding output port. These channels are used as the
main stereo output and monaural output.
The STEREO channel and MONO channel can be used
either to output independent signals, or for three-channel
L/C/R playback.
When the M7CL is in the default state, the following out-
put ports are assigned.
Signal assignments to the output channels can be changed
as desired.

The sixteen MIX buses provided on the M7CL can be assigned either as VARI or FIXED types in
pairs of adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered buses ( p. 212). Each type has the following
characteristics.
VARI
This type allows the send level of the signal sent from the
input channels to the MIX bus to be varied. The point at
which the signal is sent from the input channel to a VARI
type MIX bus can be chosen from before the EQ, before
the fader, or after the [ON] key. This type is used mainly
for sending the signal to a monitor system or external
effect.
FIXED
With this type, the send level of the signal sent from the
input channels to the MIX bus is fixed. The signal sent
from an input channel to a FIXED type MIX bus is taken
from immediately after the [ON] key. This type is used
mainly when you want to distribute signals to an external
device at the same mix balance as the STEREO/MONO
buses.
“Word clock” refers to the clock that provides the basis of timing for digital audio signal process-
ing.
Normally, one device transmits a reference word clock signal, and the other devices receive this
word clock signal and synchronize to it.
In order to transmit or receive digital audio signals to or from an external device via a digital I/O
card installed in a slot of the M7CL, the word clock must be synchronized between the devices.
Be aware that if the word clock is not synchronized, the signal will not be sent correctly, or there
may be unpleasant noise. (For details on synchronizing the M7CLs word clock with an external
device p. 208).
In this manual, switch-type controls on the panel are called “keys. Of the control knobs on the
panel, those that turn from a minimum value to a maximum value are called “knobs, while those
that turn endlessly are called “encoders.
Controls located on the panel are enclosed in square
brackets [ ] (e.g., [CUE] key) in order to distinguish them
from the virtual buttons and knobs displayed in the screen.
For some controls, the name of the section is given before
the [ ] (e.g., SCENE MEMORY [STORE] key).
Whenever there is a difference between the M7CL-32
model and the M7CL-48 model, specifications that apply
only to the M7CL-48 model are enclosed in curly brackets
{ } (e.g., INPUT jacks 1–32 {1–48}).
You can view the firmware version number in the SETUP screen ( p. 207).
You can also download the most recent firmware version from the website.
