PM5000 Discontinued

In the 30 years or so that have elapsed since the field of "sound reinforcement" began to evolve from the simple PA systems that were the norm throughout the 60's and early 70's, Yamaha has made significant strides forward. The very first PM console, introduced way back in '72, was a front-line contender in the field with superior performance and features. The PM1000 and then the PM2000 set new standards of quality. The PM4000 became the de-facto industry standard. Each new model in the PM series has traditionally built upon and augmented the strengths of its predecessor, adding new features and functionality that became the templates that others would follow - the matrix mix system introduced on the PM1000 and the PM3000's VCAs are perfect examples. In a sense, Yamaha has led the field of modern console design and production all the way. The same can be said of the incredible PM1D all-digital console, which has essentially defined the role of digital technology in sound reinforcement for the foreseeable future. The evolution continues to this day. The PM5000 is simply the most advanced analog sound reinforcement console in its class. It is a "pure analog" console in the audio sense, and it borrows freely from the world of digital technology to give you unprecedented control flexibility and efficiency. The PM5000 is the culmination of Yamaha's extensive experience and expertise in many areas - professional console design and production, control interface design, and of course sound itself. There's really only one choice if you need the best in terms of capacity, versatility, reliability, and most importantly, unmatched sound quality: the Yamaha PM5000.
