The Yamaha DM3S is a compact, digital mixer. The mixer has 22 channels and is packed with features in an ultra-compact size. Although packed with advanced features, the DM3S is a simple to operate thanks to its 9-inch touchscreen and universal turn-and-touch knob. This Yamaha DM3S is the "Standard" version. There is also a DM3, this is the version with an additional 16x16 Dante network connection.
This mixer gives you crystal clear 96 kHz audio supported by 16 excellent sounding microphone preamps and eight analog outputs. Yamaha has long been known for its digital effects, dating back to the famous REV and SPX processors of the 1980s, and this DM3S is loaded with two powerful effects processors.
The table has multiple recording and streaming options, including an 18x18 USB interface and 2x2 direct recording to a USB drive. A DAW remote mode with transport control and custom control via OSC, USB-MIDI and ProVisionaire round out the DM3S's extensive features. Looking for a super-compact, digital mixer with the highest achievable sound quality? Then the solution is simple: the Yamaha DM3S.
The Yamaha DM3 series is very robustly built. The metal housing is very solid and the mixer weighs only 6.5 kg. This mixer can take a beating! Ideal for live sound applications. Using the optional 19-inch bracket (RK-DM3) you can build the DM3 into a rack.
Yamaha sound and simple, intuitive operation
Yamaha's legacy of great-sounding mixing consoles goes back to the 1970s, and this DM3S continues that tradition. Capable of sampling rates up to 96kHz, the DM3S is an inspiring choice for live sound, studio mixing, recording and live streaming. What's more, it is easy to operate. The intuitive 9-inch touchscreen and convenient "one touch" rotary knob make operating this table a breeze, so you can concentrate on the mix/music instead of a complex, hard-to-use interface.
Lots of inputs and outputs in a super compact package
The Engineers at Klundert are impressed with how Yamaha has crammed a whopping 22 flexible I/O channels into the DM3S: 16 mono channels, one stereo channel and two stereo FX returns. You get six mono or three stereo mixes, two matrixes and a stereo bus, along with 16 excellent microphone preamps and eight convenient analog outputs. You also get an 18x18 USB audio interface for playback and recording, plus a built-in 2 x 2 USB recorder. All in a super compact, rock-solid enclosure.
