About This Manual
General Approach
Most of this manual is devoted to describing the features and functions of the various PM5000 modules.
Since the operational design of the PM5000 is based on familiar analog console principles, anyone who is
familiar with the PM4000 or similar consoles should be able to begin operating the PM5000 without
hesitation. New features and multi-module control operations will be described in column form.
The names of physical controls such as buttons and knobs will be shown in square brackets.
The manual is organized as follows:
PM5000 Overview (page 10)
The names and functions of the various sections of the console are broadly described in the context of
the console as a whole. Please read this section before continuing on to the details. This section
explains the console’s overall internal signal flow and how it relates to external equipment.
The Sections and Modules (page 15)
Following the signal flow from input to output, the individual features and functions of each section
and module are described individually.
Scene Memory Functions (page 51)
Operation of the PM5000 scene memory functions, including storage of panel settings and motor fader
operations, is described here.
Utility Functions (page 56)
This section describes operation of the utility functions relating to overall system setup and
communication with external equipment.
Appendix (page 84)
Options, plugs and connectors, and other information for general operation and maintenance.
References, hints, and additional information will be provided throughout the text where appropriate.
The PM5000 Models
The PM5000 series includes three basic models, as described below:
PM5000-52C (52 input channels/center master)
PM5000-36 (36 input channels/right master)
PM5000-28 (28 input channels/right master)
For each model the number following “PM5000” refers to the total number of mono and stereo input

Panel Layout
The layout of the PM5000’s functional sections in the basic configuration is shown below. In the PM5000-
52C the master output section is located in the center of the console, while in all other models it is located
to the right of the console.
Top Panel
PM5000 Overview
NOTE
In this manual the console’s main functional groups are referred to as “sections.” Each section further contains “blocks” of
functions. The basic hardware divisions are “modules.” For example, all of the console’s input modules make up the “input
channel section.” Each input channel is made up of an “EQ block,” a “fader block,” and others. In the PM5000 each input
channel is made up of two separate hardware components: an “input channel module” and a “fader module.
PM5000-28
PM5000-52C
11
PM5000 Overview
1 Input Channel Section (page 15)
Two types of input channels are provided – mono and
stereo – but the basic block structure of each is the same.
After going through phantom power, input gain, phase
reversal, and high-pass filter stages, the audio signal
passes through a 4-band equalizer before it reaches the
channel fader. External processing gear can be inserted
into the channel signal path either before or after the EQ
block. The post-EQ signal can be sent to any or all of 12
stereo aux buses and 8 G/A (group/aux) buses. The audio
signal from the input channel can be assigned to the
stereo L&R bus and/or mono bus. On mono input
channels the signal can also be assigned to the stereo and
mono (center) buses in LCR mode. Up to 12 VCA
groups and 8 mute groups can be set for each channel’s
fader block. Furthermore, the channel on/off status,
master bus assign settings, grouping, and fader settings
can be stored in the console’s scene memory for instant
recall whenever required.
2 Master Output Section (page 26)
The master output section is further subdivided into
stereo aux master, G/A (group/aux) master, and stereo/
mono master sections. Each stereo aux master module
independently controls the signals from two adjacent
stereo aux buses (a total of 12 stereo aux buses).
Depending on the selected G/A bus mode, each G/A
master module can handle the signals from two adjacent
group/aux buses as up to 4 stereo pairs or 8 mono feeds.
The stereo and mono masters are integrated into a single
module, but are independent internally. The stereo and
mono masters receive the signals from the stereo and
mono buses, respectively, and send these signals to the
stereo and mono main outputs. Each master features a
SUB IN input and a [SUM GAIN] control for gain
adjustment. The on/off status of each master, as well as
bus assign and other settings can be stored in the
console’s scene memory.
3
Matrix Send and Master Out Section (page 35)
The matrix section is made up of 4 stereo and 8 mono
matrix mixes. The sends to the matrix mixes are all
derived from the master output section. The matrix input
section is located at the top of the master output section.
The signal from each master can be sent to a matrix bus
by turning the master’s [TO MATRIX] switch on and
using the matrix level controls to apply the signal to the
required matrix bus. The [SUB IN] control located next
to the stereo/mono master [SEND LEVEL] control
adjusts the level of the [MATRIX SUB IN L&R] signal
sent to each matrix bus.
The matrix output section is located to the right of the
matrix input section, and it is here that the final matrix
bus output levels are set. The stereo matrix buses can be
switched to function as mono sends via a utility mode
function, in which case the summed L & R mono signal
is delivered via the L and R outputs. The on/off status of
the matrix outputs can be stored in the console’s scene
memory.
4 VCA Master Section (page 21)
The VCA section can be used to independently control
up to 12 VCA groups (VCA1 ~ VCA12) set up via the
fader blocks of each input channel. The VCA master
faders function as master faders for the corresponding
VCA groups, while the [VCA MUTE] switches mute or
un-mute the corresponding VCA groups. With this
versatile system it is possible to assign a channel to
multiple VCA groups set up for different purposes.
5 Oscillator/Talkback Section (page 38)
From this section the oscillator and talkback signals can
be sent to any of the console’s master and matrix sends.
The [TB/OSC] switches in the master and matrix
sections assign the oscillator and talkback signals to the
corresponding output.
6 Monitor Control Section (page 40)
With two monitor outputs (MONITOR A & B) and
[CUE] switches on each module, any source or
combination of sources can be monitored as required.
Normally the same monitor signal is delivered via the
two main monitor outputs as well as the console’s three
headphone jacks (one at the top of the monitor module,
and two on either side of the front panel). When the
[LCR] switch is engaged the MONITOR A and B
outputs can be used simultaneously for LCR monitoring.
The [SOLO MODE] switches on the meter bridge allow
the module [CUE] switches to be used as solo switches
independently for the console’s input and output sections
(CUE/SOLO function).
12
PM5000 Overview
7 Mute Master Section (page 21)
The 8 [MUTE MASTER] switches can be used to mute
specified input channel groups, or as [DIRECT
RECALL] switches for the scene memory. Whether
these switches function in the MUTE MASTER or
DIRECT RECALL mode is specified via a utility mode
function.
8 Digital Control Section (page 49)
The PM5000’s digital control features are concentrated
in this section. One of the main functions of this section
is storage and recall of console settings to and from the
scene memory. In addition to memorizing the on/off
status of panel switches, the scene memory can also
store fader settings that will be reproduced by the
motorized channel and VCA faders when recalled. A
fader time function is provided to specify the amount of
time it will take for the faders to physically reach the
recalled settings. This section also provides access to
utility functions that define basic operation of the
console and the way it interacts with some types of
external equipment. External CF (CompactFlash)
memory cards can be initialized and used to store scene
memory data.
9 Meter Bridge (page 47)
Used in conjunction with the monitor control section, the
meter bridge’s LED bar-graph meters provide visual
monitoring of final output levels at the console’s rear-
panel outputs. Indicators are also provided to display the
status of the PW5000 Power Supply unit as well as the
console’s internal fan unit and phantom power supplies.
Brightness controls for the console’s illuminated
controls and gooseneck lamps are also provided. Other
controls provided on the meter bridge are scene memory
preview on/off and mode selectors for the CUE/SOLO
function.
) Memory Card Slot
The console's memory card reader is located on the front
panel. The PM5000 can use CF (CompactFlash)
memory cards (see page 59).
Rear Panel
NOTE
The two screws on the right side of the digital control section can
be used to attach a protective cover. The six screws on the sides of
the master sections can be used to attach a book rest or a talkback
cable. These 8 screws do not affect the mechanical strength of the
unit. Use the attached screws or M3-size machine screws 8
millimeters or less in length.
NOTE
All PM5000 inputs and outputs are balanced except for the PHONES outputs and expansion connectors. See the input/output specifications at the
end of this manual for details.

PM5000 Overview
Expansion:Connecting to External Equipment
The PM5000 is entirely self-contained and can be used
effectively on its own, but it does provide some versatile
expansion capabilities. In this section we’ll describe how
the PM5000 can be synchronized with external gear and
cascaded with other Yamaha mixing consoles.
Cascade
Two types of cascade connectors are provided on the
PM5000 rear panel: TYPE [A] for connection to a
second PM5000, and TYPE [B] for connection to
Yamaha PM4000/3500 series mixing consoles. In either
case the extra console will be added to increase the total
number of available input channels.
Type A
When the TYPE [A] connectors of two PM5000 consoles are
connected via a cross cable the functions listed below become
linked between the master and slave consoles. The slave console’s
utility mode can be used to specify reception of individual
parameters.
VCA master section (mute & fade, fade time link).
• Mute master.
The cue/solo setting (sync of all cue groups).
Scene memory (synchronized storage and recall of the same
scene number).
The TYPE [A] port can also be connected to the serial RS-422 or
RS-232C port of a personal computer for offline console parameter
editing. PM5000 setup data can be transferred to and from the
console in standard CSV file format and edited in any spreadsheet
application that can import and export CSV data. The edited data
can then be directly read back into the PM5000.
Type B
The TYPE [B] cascade connector can be used to connect the
PM5000 to a Yamaha PM4000 or PM3500 series console for
linkage of the functions listed below. In this case the PM5000 will
function as the master console, there is no need to use the utility
mode to set the receive parameters. Cue/solo settings can,
however, be transmitted from the PM4000/3500.
• VCA master section (mute & fade, fade time link).
• Mute master (except for the PM3500).
• The cue/solo setting (sync of input cue only).
MIDI
The PM5000 MIDI connectors allow connection to other
MIDI equipment to provide the following capabilities:
Program change message reception from an external MIDI
device for scene memory selection.
Transmission of appropriate program change messages to
external MIDI gear when a scene memory is recalled on the
PM5000.
Control change reception from an external MIDI device for
control of PM5000 panel control values.
Transmission of appropriate control change messages to
external MIDI gear when a panel control is operated on the
PM5000.
In order to select the PM5000’s 1000 internal scene
memories using MIDI program change messages 1~128
it is necessary to use program change bank select
messages or create an program change table for the
PM5000. The program change table will also determine
which program change number is transmitted by the
PM5000 when a scene memory is recalled. MIDI
settings can be accessed via the console’s utility
functions. Also refer to the MIDI data list at the end of
this manual.
GPI (General Purpose Interface)
The GPI port allows pulse-signal interfacing with
compatible external equipment for bi-directional control
of several functions. Receive functions include
incrementing or decrementing of the PM5000 scene
memory and talkback on/off switching. GPI data can be
transmitted when a fader is operated (manually or
automatically), or when a specified scene memory is
recalled. All of these functions are accessible via the
PM5000 utility functions. Refer to the GPI Pin
Assignments chart at the end of this manual for more
information.
NOTE
See the detailed descriptions of the related utility functions in the
Utility Functions section beginning on page 56.

re-transmits the data received at the IN connector. On the
PM5000 an “echo” function can be used to retransmit data
received at the IN connector via the OUT connector.

Input Channel Section
Mono and Stereo Input Modules
Mono and stereo input modules make up the console’s
input channel section. In essence each stereo module
contains two parallel mono signal paths, and the panel
controls control both channels simultaneously.
Head Amp Block
Initial adjustment of the input audio signal level and
other parameters can be carried out here.
1 [+48V] Switch
Engage this switch to supply +40-volt phantom power to
the corresponding input.
2 [PAD] Switch
When this switch is engaged a 26-db pad is inserted at
the channel’s input to compensate for high-level source
signals.

3 [GAIN] Control
Adjusts the input level. When the [PAD] switch is off the
input level can be adjusted from –10 dB through –60 dB.
When the [PAD] switch is engaged the range is from +16
dB through –34 dB.
4 [L+R] Switch (stereo modules only)
When this switch is engaged the stereo input signal is
summed to a mono mix, allowing the stereo input
modules to be used as mono input modules, as required.
5 [ø] (Phase) Switch
Engaging this switch reverses the phase (also referred to
as the “polarity”) of the input signal.
HPF Block
The high-pass filter can be used to attenuate unwanted
low-frequency noise that can adversely affect the overall
sound.
6 [HPF] Switch and Control
The filter is activated when the switch engaged, and the
control can be used to adjust the high-pass filter cutoff
frequency from 20 Hz through 400 Hz. The filter has a
12-dB/oct. cutoff slope.
EQ Block
This 4-band equalizer features
individually-adjustable HIGH,
HI-MID, LO-MID, and LOW
bands for versatile shaping of
the channel signal. The HIGH
and LOW bands are switchable
between shelving and peaking
operation, while the HI-MID
and LO-MID bands are peaking
types.
7 EQ Controls
Two controls are provided for
each EQ band: the upper “Q”
control adjusts bandwidth,
while the lower concentric
control adjusts frequency (outer
control) and gain (inner
control). The HIGH and LOW
bands additionally have a
peaking/shelving switch that
determines the band’s mode of
operation: engaging the switch
selects the shelving mode.
* For all bands Q (bandwidth) can be adjusted from 0.5 ~ 3.0.
8 [EQ] Switch
Turns the 4-band EQ block on or off. When the [EQ]
switch indicator is off the EQ circuitry is bypassed. EQ
is active when the indicator is lit.
NOTE
Stereo modules feature concentric gain controls: the inner control
adjusts the gain of the left channel and the outer control adjusts
the gain of the right channel.
NOTE
To maintain the proper subjective signal level the left and right
channels are attenuated by 3 dB.

Insert Block
These switches are used to determine whether and where
external processing gear connected to the rear-panel
INSERT IN and OUT connectors will be inserted into
the channel signal path.
9 Insert [ON] Switch
Turns channel insert on or off. When the [ON] switch is
engaged an external equipment connected to the rear-
panel INSERT IN connectors is inserted into the
channel’s signal path. The [PRE] switch (below)
determines whether the insert is pre- or post-EQ.
) [PRE] Switch
Determines whether the channel’s INSERT IN and OUT
connectors insert the externally connected gear before or
after the channel EQ stage. When the switch is off the
insert is post-EQ. When on (when the indicator is lit) the
insert is pre-EQ.
Stereo Aux Send 1~12 Block
The controls in this block determine
the levels at which the channel signal is
sent to the console’s 12 stereo aux
buses.
!
Send Level and Pan Controls
(mono modules)
Send Level and Balance
Controls (stereo modules)
The inner controls adjust send level (0
dB at approximately 2 o’clock), and
the outer controls adjust pan for mono
modules or balance for stereo modules.
@ [ON] Switch
When an [ON] switch is engaged the
send to the corresponding aux bus is
active.
# [PRE] Switch
When this switch is engaged the pre-
fader signal is sent to the
corresponding aux bus. When off, the
post-fader signal is sent to the aux bus.

G/A (Group/Aux) Send 1~8 Block
These controls determine how the channel signal is sent
to the console’s 8 group/aux buses.
$ Send Level Controls
Adjust send level to the corresponding group/aux bus (0
dB at approximately 2 o’clock).
% [ON] Switch
When an [ON] switch is engaged the send to the
corresponding group/aux bus is active.
^ [PRE] Switch
When this switch is engaged the pre-fader signal is sent
to the corresponding group/aux bus. When off, the post-
fader signal is sent to the group/aux bus.
Main Out Block
This block determines how the channel signal is
assigned to the console’s main stereo and mono (center)
buses. The stereo and mono outputs can be used
independently, or combined for LCR output.
& [PAN]/[CSR] Control
(mono modules only)
Adjusts panning of the signal sent to the bus(es) to which
the channel signal is assigned via the main out switches
(. When the [ST] switch is engaged, assigning the
channel signal to the stereo bus, stereo panning is
adjusted via the inner control. When the [LCR] switch is
engaged and the channel signal is assigned to both the
stereo and mono buses in LCR mode, the outer [CSR]
(Center-Side Ratio) control can be used – refer to the
column below.
* [BAL] Control (stereo modules only)
Determines the stereo balance when the stereo-module
[ST] main out switch is engaged to send the channel
signal to the stereo bus.
NOTE
The above descriptions apply when the group/aux buses are used
as 8 mono aux buses (the default mode). The functions of the
controls will vary depending on the G/A bus mode selected via
the group/aux master section – refer to “Group/Aux Switching”
on page 32 for details.

Input Channel Section
( Main Out Switches
Determine where the post-fader channel signal will be
sent. To assign the channel signal to the stereo bus
engage the [ST] switch and use the [PAN] & or [BAL]
* control to adjust the stereo image. To send the signal
to the mono bus engage the [MONO] switch. In all cases
the channel fader determines the signal level.
On mono modules it is also possible to send the channel
signal to the stereo and mono buses in LCR mode, using
the mono bus as the center signal. To do this engage the
[LCR] switch and use the [CSR] control & to adjusts the
Center-Side Ratio to achieve the desired LCR balance.
º Channel [ON] Switch
Turns the input channel on or off. When off the channel
signal is not sent to the STEREO AUX, GROUP AUX,
STEREO or MONO buses.
¡ Level Meter
Displays the channels post-EQ pre-fader signal level.
The [PEAK] indicator will light when the signal level
exceeds 17 dB above nominal (0 dB) level.
NOTE
The [PEAK] indicator responds to the pre-EQ and pre-insert
signal level as well as to the post-EQ pre-fader level.
LCR vs. Stereo + Mono Operation
When the [LCR] switch is engaged the stereo and mono (center) buses become linked for LCR operation and the
[ST] and [MONO] switches cannot be engaged. On the other hand, when the [LCR] switch is not engaged the [ST]
and [MONO] switches can be engaged simultaneously. In either case the channel signal is sent to both the stereo and
mono buses. The difference between these two setups is described below.
For example, mono sources are normally positioned in the stereo sound field or swept from one side to the other by
adjusting the panning to the stereo bus. This works fine when the distance between the left and right speakers is
relatively small, but problems arise in venues where the speakers are further apart. In fact, in even modest venues if
a channel is panned fully left, for example, audience members sitting on the right side of the house will hear very
little of that signal, if any. In such cases it is useful to provide a center channel, the output level of which will be
adjusted to reinforce the stereo image and provide more effective coverage. Manually adjusting the levels and
panning of the stereo and mono buses to achieve this effect can be extremely difficult, and that’s where the LCR
output mode with CSR (Center-Side Ratio) control comes in handy. With this system and an LCR speaker setup it is
possible to produce natural stereo positioning and smooth panning in large venues with a single control. The [PAN]
control adjusts panning as always, while the [CSR] control determines how the center channel responds to [PAN]
control operation as shown in the diagrams above. The more the [CSR] control is rotated clockwise, the higher the
center channel level as the [PAN] control approaches center position.

Input Channel Section
Channel Fader Block
The channel faders determine the level of the channel signal sent to the console’s master buses, and are of primary
importance in setting up the balance between the various channels in the mix. The channel faders can also be assigned to
specific VCA and mute groups for group level and mute control.
Channel Fader
Adjusts the out signal level from the corresponding
channel. The channel faders also affect the signal level
sent to the stereo aux and group/aux buses when the
[PRE] switches associated with the corresponding sends
are off (i.e. they are sending the post-fader signal).
£ [RECALL SAFE] Switch
¢ [FADER SAFE] Switch
Either of these switches can be engaged to prevent the
corresponding data from changing the channel settings
when a scene memory is recalled. Use the [RECALL
SAFE] switch to maintain the master bus assign switch
settings, or [FADER SAFE] switch to maintain the level
of the channel fader.
VCA Indicators 1~12
Indicate the VCA groups to which the corresponding
channel fader is assigned. If a VCA group master to
which the channel is assigned is muted via its [VCA
MUTE] switch, the corresponding VCA indicator will
flash rather than light continuously. More details are
provided in the “Channel Grouping” section on page 21.
§ MUTE Indicators 1~8
Indicate the mute groups to which the corresponding
channel is assigned. More details are provided in the
“Channel Grouping” section.
[CUE] Switch
When this switch is engaged the pre-fader channel signal
is sent to the console’s CUE L&R buses regardless of the
channel’s on/off status. The cue signal can be monitored
via the rear-panel MONITOR OUT connectors or any of
the console’s PHONES jacks.
£
¢
§
NOTE
The channel faders are motor-drive types that will physically
move to the memorized settings when a scene memory is recalled
– after the specified “fade time,” if one has been programmed.
Refer to “Scene Memory Functions” on page 51 for details.
NOTE
Using the VCA CUE function, the post-fader channel signal can
be monitored.
NOTE
The [CUE] switches are also used to assign channels to VCA and
mute groups (page 21), as well as to specify target channels when
setting fade time parameters (page 52). Normal [CUE] switch
function is suspended while any of these operations are in
progress.
