INTRODUCTION The PM-1000 is a 4-bus mixing console with 16, 24 or 32 input channels. Yamaha engineers, in cooperation with soundmen, mixers and performers, designed this board to meet with widely varied demands of professional sound reinforcement, as well as studio applications. Modular construction and all solid state circuitry assure reliability and ease of maintenance. To enhance its appearance, the console is finished with durable, black-anodized aluminum panels and housed in a handsome rosewood cabinet with a padded armrest. Carrying handles on the side panels and a padded leatherette cover are included as standard equipment. Every console is delivered complete with a full complement of modules, and ready for use. Transformer isolated inputs and outputs, plus a precision, wide-range input sensitivity selector on each channel help simplify installation and optimize performance with virtually any type of audio system. Further convenience is afforded by the many XLR connectors, phone jacks and stereo phone jacks that carry all input and output signals. The PM-1000 is built to exacting standards. It is light, yet rugged enough to sustain the kind of punishment that often occurs in portable applications. For fixed installations, the console has all the features and appearance of many larger, custom boards. Top of the line performance at an economical price sets the PM-1000 in a class by itself.
