History & design
The Yamaha DM7 Compact is the single-bay version of the DM7, announced in June 2023 and shipping from August that year. It processes 72 mono input channels into 48 mix buses, 12 matrices, 2 stereo buses and a mono bus, at 48 or 96 kHz, with the same engine as the DM7.
The surface has 16 touch-sensitive 100 mm motorised faders (twelve plus four), a 12.1-inch touchscreen and a 7-inch screen. The rear panel brings together 16 mic/line inputs, 16 analogue outputs, an AES/EBU output, word clock, GPI, timecode input, primary and secondary Dante at 144 × 144 and 96 kHz, and an 18 × 18 USB-C interface. Two USB ports handle stereo recording. It has a built-in dual power supply and fits a 19-inch rack with the RK1 kit.
Processing includes a 64-resource Premium Rack, 16 effects and 32 graphic EQs, plus Split Mode, which divides the console into two independent mixers. The CTL-DM7 controller and the Broadcast and Theatre packages are optional.
