Digital mixing and processing for live sound has come of age, and there’s no turning back. Throughout the audio industry the most demanding sound engineers and audio company professionals are turning to digital mixing as a way of enhancing quality, efficiency and commercial advantage. If you’re planning to upgrade a small or medium-scale analog system, there are plenty of great reasons to go digital. The Yamaha LS9-16 and LS9-32 are two very good reasons indeed. They offer the most up-to-date and mature digital mixing capabilities in their class, with an interface that makes operation easy even for the inveterate analog user. They do it in consoles that are remarkably compact and lightweight — even the LS9-32 can be tucked under an arm and moved around quite comfortably. Just try doing that with a 32 channel analog console and the racks of outboard gear that would be required to equal the functionality of these digital mixers. Both LS9-16 and LS9-32 can grow with your needs too; they have a second layer of channel processing power that lets you control up to another 16 or 32 channels of audio inputs from digital sources and/or analog sources with no compromises on features or quality. And then there’s the sound. From the acclaimed PM1D digital live sound console right down the line, superlative sound is another reason discerning professionals choose Yamaha Digital Mixing Consoles for critical live sound applications around the globe.
The surprisingly small size and lightweight of the LS9-32 make it a perfect choice for applications that require maximum portability and handling ease. Use it for events or temporary live sound setups, and benefit from the power and performance of much larger and more complex systems in an eminently portable package that can be set up and operated anywhere with ease.
