YAMAHA DM7C

The DM7C is a 72-channel, single-bay digital mixer with an intuitive interface that adapts to your individual workflow.

Navigating the DM7C is a piece of cake, thanks to its 12-inch and 7-inch touchscreens, 16 motorized faders, and all-purpose touch-and-turn knob. You get pristine 96kHz audio, deftly reinforced by 16 outstanding mic preamps and 16 analog outputs.

Yamaha has long been renowned for digital effects, going way back to its '80s-era REV and SPX processors, and the DM7C reflects this storied heritage. You get an 18 x 18 audio interface that works with Yamaha's VST Rack along with a 144 x 144 Dante interface.

The DM7C is also outfitted with a DAW remote function, an internal dual power supply, an ultra-efficient split mode, and cutting-edge AI assist functions.
