Yamaha's flagship large-format digital mixing platform for major touring and installed applications, built around TWINLANe and Dante networking with 96 kHz operation.
The RIVAGE PM platform is Yamaha's top-tier digital mixing system, built for major touring productions, broadcast centres and prestigious performing-arts venues that demand the highest channel counts and audio quality. At its core is the TWINLANe network, a proprietary ultra-high-channel, ultra-low-latency audio transport that carries up to 400 channels at 96 kHz without the round-trip delay of conventional Dante-only systems.
Each system pairs a control surface (CS-R10, CSD-R7, CS-R5 or CS-R3) with DSP engines and RPio I/O racks, giving integrators flexibility to locate processing wherever best suits the install. The platform runs entirely at 96 kHz internally, supports Rupert Neve Designs SILK processing via RY cards, and is compatible with the full range of Rio, RSio and RMio remote I/O units over Dante. Free companion software: RIVAGE PM StageMix (iPad, wireless stage-side mixing and metering) and MonitorMix (iOS/Android, individual performer monitor mix control).
TWINLANe carries 400 channels at 96 kHz with sub-millisecond latency between surface and I/O racks, while a secondary Dante network provides interoperability with the broader Yamaha ecosystem.
All signal processing runs at 96 kHz with 32-bit floating-point arithmetic, delivering 115 dB dynamic range and less than 0.05% THD from input to output.
RY16-ML-SILK expansion cards bring Rupert Neve Designs SILK analogue character to the digital domain, adding transformer-style harmonic richness to individual channels.
Systems range from the compact CS-R3/DSP-RX entry configuration to the full CS-R10/DSP-R10 flagship, with consistent EQ, dynamics and workflow shared across the family.
