Versatile Channel Module Functions
HA Gain
Adjusts gain of the console's class-leading input-channel head amplifiers over a 72-dB range. HA gain is recallable like almost all of the console's other settings. Touch the HA section of the display to access the +48V phantom power and phase settings.
DYNAMICS 1 and DYNAMICS 2
DYNAMICS 1 adjusts gate threshold level for input channels, or compressor threshold level for mix, matrix, or stereo/mono channels. DYNAMICS 2 adjusts compressor threshold level for input channels. In either case the actual parameter controlled depends on the dynamics processor selected from the well-stocked dynamics library provided – gates, compressors, expanders, and even de-essers for advanced vocal processing. Although initially set up for gate + compressor processing, you can also use dual compressors.
EQ
This very versatile 4-band parametric EQ section affords extraordinary equalization control and quality for all inputs and buses. Switchable Type I and Type II EQ algorithms let you choose the type of EQ response that best suits the application.
Relative Level Channel Link [V2]
There will undoubtedly be times when you'll want to link a pair of faders to handle stereo signals, or perhaps even link more channels for simultaneous operation. The M7CL lets you link as many channels together as you like, and even deselect parameters that you don't want to be linked. You can even create links with offsets in level.
MIX / MATRIX
Send controls for the 16 mix buses and 8 matrixes that can be used as auxiliary, monitor, effect send, or group controls depending on whether the AUX SEND (VARI) pre-attenuator or pre/post-fader mode or the GROUP (FIXED) mode is selected. There's also an INPUT TO MATRIX mode that lets you send the input channel signals directly to the matrix.
Outstanding Effects and Effect Control
High Resolution Effects
Yamaha digital effects are highly regarded in the professional sound field for a very good reason: they are simply the best. Whether you need to add a touch of reverb or manipulate a sound for other-worldly effect, the M7CL offers everything built in and ready to roll. The M7CL also comes with Yamaha's superlative REV-X package for some of the best ambience effects available anywhere, and a selection of VCM effects that deliver truly musical analog compression, saturation, and EQ.
Standard or Flex15GEQ
The M7CL's standard graphic EQ modules offer a full 31 bands for precise control. If your application requires more EQ capability than the standard EQ modules provide, the M7CL offers Flex15GEQ modules that function as two 31-band units with 15-bands available at a time. You can use up to 16 channels of Flex15GEQ!
Direct EQ Control
Any of the 31 bands on the graphic equalizer modules can be directly controlled via the Centralogic faders. Other convenient control features include the ability to instantly reset any band to nominal simply by pressing the appropriate [ON] key.
Waves SoundGrid System
The Waves SoundGrid system is an external plug-in platform developed specifically for live sound. With a WSG-Y16 interface card installed in one of the M7CL expansion slots, the Waves MultiRack application running on a laptop computer, and a Waves SoundGrid Server, sound engineers can deploy multiple instances of renowned Waves plug-ins in the live sound environment, with extremely low latency. M7CL and SoundGrid scene recall can be linked via a simple MIDI connection.
