Smart Solution for Broadcast and Live Sound
Designed to excel in live sound and broadcast applications, the Yamaha CL5 digital mixer delivers outstanding sound quality and impressive show control. Connect Rio series stage boxes (not included) for up to 72 mono and eight stereo mixable channels, with 32 channel faders and two master faders for control. Built-in Virtual Circuitry Modeling created by Rupert Neve Designs gives you access to Neve Portico 5033 EQ and Portico 5043 compressor/limiter processors, plus other spot-on emulations of classic hardware processors. And built-in Dan Dugan automatic mixing makes it easy for any operator to optimize microphones and effectively fight feedback. In short, world-class sound is easily attainable with the Yamaha CL5 digital mixer.
Sleek Interface, Amazing Sound Engine
Centralogic UI for straightforward control
Instead of forcing you to sift through endless, complicated menus, all of the CL5's mix controls are accessed via just two displays: Overview and Selected Channel. The Overview display, which is the CL5's default display, gives you a standard view of an 8-channel group that you select via the Centralogic navigation keys. These keys, laid out just like an 8-channel group on a console, let you easily bring any group of eight channels to the central controls with a single press of a button. The Selected Channel display gives you in-depth control by letting you zoom in on the channel of your choice to adjust its individual parameters, such as preamp gain, dynamics, and EQ.
Refined sound quality
Right from the inputs all the way through, CL Series consoles are designed for optimum sound quality. Every aspect of the signal path has been refined, from the individual components and power supply to the grounding scheme, circuit layout and even mechanical construction. Even the AD/DA master clock and FPGA clock signal routing have been engineered to deliver the most musical, high-fidelity sound possible.
Premium effects rack with analog character
Yamaha's Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) technology allows for ultra-accurate digital emulations of classic analog hardware processors. CL Series consoles come equipped with VCM models of the renowned Neve Portico 5033 EQ and Portico 5043 compressor/limiter. You'll also find stellar-sounding emulations of legendary hardware processors like the 1176, LA-2A and EQP-1A. In all, you get over 50 effects and processors to apply to inputs, outputs or busses. From adding character to individual tracks to making groups and busses sound larger than life, CL Series consoles deliver studio-quality processing for stage and broadcast.
What it means for you: You can make complicated mix adjustments fast, tap into world-class processing without setting up a rack of hardware, and enjoy amazing sound quality at every gain stage.
