This week, the speaker team hosted a clinic on the Yamaha Installation Series and Nexo Speakers. The two day event was conducted here at our Buena Park Office and at the Cerritos Performing Arts Center. It featured hands on training with the different line arrays, lessons on how to use the YS3 and GeoSoft software packages, and listening tests with just about every speaker Yamaha and Nexo offer.As one of the newest members of the Yamaha staff, I was really excited to finally hear the differences between the speakers and learn how to use the software. Joe, Lloyd, Pete and Al really did a great job of explaining how easy the systems are to use and rig. Thanks fellas for all of your hard work!
If you would like information on the next speaker event, please contact Mr. Albert Cardenas.Tuesday, 10 February 2009
Hello friends, how is everyone doing?
I just want to share a bit of information with you guys. We got a couple of SB168-ES units at the office and we were running a few tests. Last week I took one of the units and did a short tour around NYC, visiting few our our dealers and end users. The SB168-ES is a great unit, easy to use and easy to interface it with the different consoles.
I am really excited about it.

To readers of the Trainers on the road.
The previous post was corrected in the last paragraph. Please see the web site and check it.
"The only exceptions are theDM1000, DM2000, and 02R. On these units, the unity point is found at -18dBFS -14dBFS."
The unity point we are talking here is the internal signal level of consoles when the consoles output +4dBu (0VU). This is the reference level of most equipment we use. Which means, when you see -20dBFS on your output meter of your M7CL, the console outputs signal of +4dBu.

There is a big difference between the meters on most analog and digital consoles. The meters on most digital consoles are dBFS (Full Scale) and represent how much headroom you have left in the signal path. When you reach the "Over" (red) point on your digital meters, you have no headroom left in the signal path and the signal will clip. On the other hand, when you reach the "Peak" (red) point on your analog meters, you still have about 3dB's of headroom remaining before the signal begins to clip.
So where is the unity point on my digital meters?
The unity point on your digital console will vary by manufacturer. However, on almost all of the newer Yamaha digital consoles, the unity point is found at -20dBFS. The only exceptions are the DM1000, DM2000, and 02R. On these units, the unity point is found at -18dBFS -14dBFS.
