PRA01-5 Printed in Japan PRELIMINARY F E A T U R E S D M 2 0 0 0 Dedicated DSP LSIs Deliver Unprecedented 24 bit, 96 kHz Performance Unlike conventional equipment that achieves operation in 96K mode with reduced number of tracks, with DM2000 there is no limitation dependent on sampling frequencies - 44. 1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88. 2 kHz or 96 kHz. To achieve this, no fewer than 14 newly-developed DSP7 LSIs are utilized in the mixer section, and eight DSP6 LSIs for effects. These chips are designed and manufactured by YAMAHA specifically for professional audio applications, and deliver performance that stretches the limits of the most advanced technology currently available. By way of comparison, the Yamaha 02R -- the digital mixing console that almost single-handedly started the digital production revolution, and rapidly became the industry standard -- uses six DSP3 chips in it's mixer section. [. . . ] A separate 32-segment stereo meter is provided for the main stereo program. The MB2000 also features a time-code display for complete, centralized visual monitoring. Automix and scene recall capability are important features that can dramatically streamline the production process, but data portability via compact SmartMediaTM memory cards takes this convenience to a new level. All automix and scene data can be saved to memory cards and transferred and simply archived or transferred to another DM2000. A mix you make in one studio can, for example, be instantly replicated in another so you don't have to spend time manually setting up parameters to achieve the same results. * SmartMediaTM is a registered trademark of the Toshiba Corporation. 8-2. Locator All the locator controls you would normally find on an advanced locator panel -- plus a few extras -- are duplicated right here on the DM2000 console. DIGITAL PRODUCTION CONSOLE O P E R A T I O N D M 2 0 0 0 Compression and Gating decoder to allow instant real-time comparison between the pre-encode and post-decode sound. An Awesome Performer On the Inside, Too The DM2000 offers as much "below the surface" as it does directly via its physical interface. In fact, many of this remarkable console's greatest strengths are not visible from the outside. Precision 32 bit/96 kHz processing throughout is just one example. Here are a few others: The DM2000 channel gates and compressors operate independently, so you can use compression and gating simultaneously. Setting up optimum compression and gating parameters can be a tricky business, but the graphic displays accessible via the DM2000 LCD panel make the process as easy as possible. In addition to duplicating the panel controls, the on-screen compressor and gate displays include the parameters you'll need for key-in signal routing and setup. Once again, you have a broad selection of application-specific presets in the gate Additional facilities provided by the monitor processing section include individual bus (speaker) muting and attenuation, overall level control for all monitor outputs, stem mix monitoring via independent source selection capability for each expansion slot, bass management for subwoofer delivery, and independent delays for precision speaker tuning. Expandable Data Libraries Setting up EQ, compression, and other parameters for a mix from scratch can be a daunting task, so Yamaha has provided an extensive selection of presets in a range of "libraries" that can simply be selected and used unmodified, or edited to suit specific requirements. Libraries are provided for effects, compression, gating, EQ, I/O patching, and more. Of course, your own setups can be added to the libraries for instant recall whenever they are needed. external processing at all. And, like most other parameter groups, an extensive preset "library" is provided for fast, easy setup. Of course, you can add your own setups to the library for instant recall whenever needed. In addition to stereo effects, the DM2000 features a number of preset effects specifically designed for surround applications. Up to eight stereo or surround effects can be used simultaneously (Note: Some surround effects use as many as four processors). and compressor libraries, or you can store and recall you own settings. Integrated DAW Control When you purchase a DM2000, you also get a sophisticated DAW control surface in the bargain!The DM2000 has actually Patching Several patch displays allow the system's inputs, inserts, and outputs to be patched to appropriate built-in inputs and outputs as well as I/O added via the rear-panel expansion slots. You can also assign channel names for easy identification. Centralized control means you'll never have to run around to been designed to provide seamless control of computer-based digital audio workstation software such as Digidesign's ProTools®. In addition to a number of controllers specifically included for this purpose, the DM2000 faders, channel switches, encoders, and other controls can be used to directly control the corresponding DAW parameters.
