Yamaha's touring-grade digital console platform offering Centralogic fader control, VCM processing and built-in Dan Dugan automatic mixing for live and installed applications.
The CL Series has established itself as a benchmark large-format touring console over more than a decade of global touring and installed-sound deployments. Its Centralogic control section places a group of motorised faders under a central touch screen, enabling operators to mix the entire channel count without relocating banks, a workflow advantage that becomes significant during fast-paced live productions.
All three CL models, CL5, CL3 and CL1, share the same audio engine, VCM processing (Virtual Circuitry Modelling of vintage analogue equipment), a built-in Dan Dugan automixer, and Dante Primary/Secondary networking. Local I/O counts differ: the CL5 carries 8 local analogue inputs while the CL3 and CL1 have 32 and 16 respectively, complemented by three Mini-YGDAI expansion slots on each. Free companion software: CL Editor (Windows/macOS, offline setup and online control) and CL StageMix (iPad, wireless stage-side mixing).
A dedicated Centralogic section with motorised faders and a colour touch screen gives operators tactile access to any channel group, DCA or bus at any time without scrolling through banks.
Virtual Circuitry Modelling recreates the circuit behaviour of classic analogue equalisers and compressors, giving engineers familiar tools without external hardware.
An integrated Dan Dugan automatic mixing engine handles gain distribution across open microphones in speech and panel applications transparently.
Dante Primary/Secondary networking plus three Mini-YGDAI expansion slots allow connection to any Rio or RSio stagebox and third-party I/O hardware.
