Putting years of experience in the audio industry to the work, Scharff Weisberg recently hosted an in-depth training seminar on the new Yamaha PM5D Digital Mixing Console, now available at Scharff Weisberg for rent or purchase. The session was attended by staff, clients and other audio luminaries.
A lot has changed on the audio scene in the past few years —with more than a little help from Yamaha. Where analog consoles were once the only accepted means of handling serious sound reinforcement applications, high-performance digital consoles such as the Yamaha PM1D now share the limelight with their analog brothers. Digital consoles are particularly in demand for applications where programmability and recall capability are of monumental importance.
"I asked Yamaha to bring someone in to do training because digital technology is much different from analog, and it's becoming very important to our industry," commented Scharff Weisberg's Vice President, Scott Schachter. "We will continue to do training and high-level demos on other new and exciting products as they come to the market."
Attending were Scharff Weisberg audio engineers, New York's top mixers and owners of sound and sound-provider companies. "We went fairly deep into the console and its technical functions," noted Yamaha's District Manager Bob Quinones. "It was more than just an operational seminar. It was a real ‘insiders tour.'"
"It was great to do this demo at Scharff Weisberg," he continued. "They have a wonderful reputation for being pros in many industries, including television, theatrical and live events, and their audio engineers are very talented and reliable."
The PM5D series Digital Mixing Consoles take the digital revolution to the next level. Smaller relatives of Yamaha's PM1D, they offer state-of-the-art digital performance for a significantly broader range of SR applications that require a more dedicated control surface than the DM2000. They also offer a systems solution that can enhance the entire sound production process from input to output through integration with digital devices such as the DME64N and AD8HR.
