Rear panel

Following is an explanation of the functions and names of parts of the rear panel of the DM3 Series.

a

[OMNI OUT] jacks

XLR-3-32 type output jacks for outputting analog audio signals. These jacks are primarily for outputting MIX channels and STEREO channels.

b

[INPUT] jacks

Connects to devices like mikes and musical instruments.

  • 1 - 12:
  • XLR-3-31 input jacks
  • 13 - 16:
  • Combo jacks compatible with both XLR and TRS phone plugs.

c

Power switch

When the switch is on (｜), the power turns ON.

When the switch is on (z), the power goes to standby.

NOTICE

  • If 10 seconds elapse since the last operation, the power switch goes to standby. The state just before the power switch went to standby is saved, and the system recovers to it when power comes back on.
  • To turn the power back on from standby, wait about 6 seconds or so. Turning the power ON and OFF repeatedly may cause a malfunction.

d

[DC INPUT] connector

For connecting to the included power adapter. First connect this device to the power adapter and then plug it into the electrical outlet.

WARNING

  • Only ever use the included power cord. Also, never use any other product with the included power cord. Damage, overheating, and/or fire may result. The included power cord is designed specifically for Japan (up to 125 V).

CAUTION

  • Always put the console in standby prior to connecting or disconnecting the cord.
  • A small amount of electricity flows even when the power is OFF (on standby). When the product will not be used for a long time, unplug the cord from the outlet.

e

Dante PRIMARY/SECONDARY connectors (DM3 only)

These connectors are for Dante audio network connections, such as I/O devices like the Tio1608-D. The connectors to use are RJ-45 connectors that conform to etherCON CAT5e, made by Neutrik.

NOTICE

  • To prevent electromagnetic interference, use STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables. When using STP cables, make sure the metal parts of connectors and shielded parts of cables are in contact with conductive tape or the like.
  • NOTE
  • Do not use the EEE function (*) of a network switch inside a Dante network. Power consumption settings are adjusted automatically between switches that support the EEE function, but some switches do not correctly adjust these mutual settings correctly. This means that in certain unfavorable cases with the Dante network, the EEE function of a switch might be enabled, impairing the clock synchronization capability and causing audio to be interrupted. As such, please note the following.
    • If using a managed switch, turn off the EEE function of all ports that use Dante. Do not use a switch that does not allow you to turn off the EEE function.
    • If using an unmanaged switch, do not use a switch that supports the EEE function. Such switches cannot turn off the EEE function.

    *EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) function: A technology that reduces power consumption of an Ethernet device when network traffic is sparse. It is also called “green Ethernet” or IEEE802.3az.

f

[USB TO HOST] connector

USB Type B Connector

The product functions as an up to 18 IN/18 OUT, 96 kHz/32-bit audio interface by connecting to a computer via USB cables. It also allows control of DM3 series and remote control of DAW software by USB-MIDI.

It is necessary to install Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver in order to communicate with a computer.

NOTICE

  • Use USB cables under 3 m long.
  • Wait at least 6 seconds between unplugging and replugging USB cables.

g

Network Connector

This is an RJ-45 connector for connecting to a computer. Use an ethernet cable (CAT5e or better recommended).

NOTICE

  • To prevent electromagnetic interference, use STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables.
