When you're dialing in monitor mixes, the LS9's Sends on Faders mode really speeds things up. For instance, you can create custom fader layers that show only the drums or place all of your group masters next to one another. But these motorized faders offer a whole lot more as well.

Like the channel faders on any mixing console, the primary purpose of the LS9's faders is to dial in the mix. Multifunction faders streamline send setup and more And if you need more I/O, you can always add cards such as the MY8-LAKE, Dugan-MY16, or one of Yamaha's high-speed Ethernet protocol cards. This LS9-16 model also sports eight analog Omni Out connectors, and you can assign any of the stereo, mix, or matrix buses to them, giving you the flexibility you need to send feeds to your recording rig, set up monitor mixes, and much more. This includes 16 mix buses, which you can assign as either your auxiliaries or groups, plus an additional eight matrix buses. One of the things that active live sound engineers here at Sweetwater really dig about the LS9 is the extensive routing capacity Yamaha loaded it with. Loaded with the internal and external routing you need And with the LS9's incredible scene memory, you can dial in your base settings once and have them ready to go for every show. No matter what screen you're on, if you need to get back to the main screen, just hit the Home button - it's that simple. With its streamlined set of master-section controls and logically positioned buttons and encoders, you'll never have to dig deep or scramble for the right knob when you need to tweak a setting on your LS9 console. Over generations of digital mixing consoles, with such standouts as the PM1D, PM5D, and M7CL, Yamaha has had many opportunities to perfect their portable digital mixing console interface. Straightforward controls meet total settings recall In addition to an extensive range of gating, compression, and equalization capabilities, there's also a built-in USB memory recorder/player for recording or BGM playback, and other functionality that give you everything you need for small to medium scale live sound or installed applications in remarkably compact, all-in-one consoles. While being compact and light enough for one person to move and set up easily, both models include features that have been field-proven in previous Yamaha digital consoles as well as outstanding sonic quality.

The LS9 series consists of the 32-mic/line input 64-channel LS9-32, and the 16-mic/line input 32 channel LS9-16. The LS9 series consoles follow in the distinguished footsteps of the Yamaha PM1D, PM5D, and M7CL, expanding Yamaha's digital mixing console lineup for live sound and installations.
