Targeted to the live sound reinforcement market, the PM5000 retains the logical layout and ergonomics of the industry-standard PM4000, while offering the control convenience, recall and versatility of the ground-breaking Yamaha PM1D. The 01V96 is an ideal mixer choice for small-to-medium permanent or mobile recording, production and live audio applications.
