The addition of contemporary music and instrumentation
to today’s worship experience has brought the
need for professional sound equipment to reproduce
and record live performances. Yamaha is one of only
a few high-quality musical instrument manufacturers
to successfully transfer its knowledge and experience
to concert and recording studio level audio equipment.
Yamaha’s line includes
high-value products like mixers, amplifiers, effect
processors, loudspeakers, and recorders.

Mixers
The terms mixer, console, board, and desk are often
used interchangeably. They all refer to devices that
are used for combining, routing and processing audio
signals on their way to speakers or other outputs.
Mixers in a performance setting typically control
microphones and line-level devices such as cassette
decks and CD players. They can vary in the number
of input and output channels, can be powered or unpowered,
and can be either analog or digitally based. Yamaha
offers products in all these categories across a broad
price range.
Why Consider Digital Mixing?
Digital mixers can:
- Include effects, EQ, compressors, and gates, as
built-in features
- Memorize “scenes” (including fader movements,
channel on/off, effects, panning, EQ, and dynamics)
for easy recall with the simple touch of a button
- Recall a sequence of scenes via MIDI program change
messages
- Control access to critical parameters via a lock-out
function

“Yamaha is the way we make music. From
the AW4416 in my writing room to the Motif 7
and 8 and my digital grand on stage, they are
the best musical instruments and pro audio line
available.” – Stacie Orrico

Power Amplifiers
The audio power amp increases the strength of an
audio signal so it can drive one or more loudspeakers.
In sound systems, the power amplifier is always the
final active component in the signal chain, located
just before the loudspeakers. In small portable sound
systems, the power amplifier may be built into the
mixer. Both stand-alone amplifiers and powered mixers
are part of Yamaha’s line of professional audio
products.
Loudspeaker Systems
A loudspeaker system consists of one or more speaker
components mounted in an enclosure for the purpose
of converting electrical audio signals into sound.
Although the most visible parts of a sound system
are the loudspeakers at the front of the sanctuary,
sound reinforcement is also frequently necessary in
other areas to ensure complete sonic coverage. Examples
include ceiling mounted speakers, portable PA systems,
and/or monitor speakers at the recording location.
High quality Yamaha loudspeakers, some of which are
available in multiple, décor-matching or paintable
finishes, are available to fill these requirements.
