A quick guide to the M7CL hardware.

M7CL-48

M7CL-48 has 48 mono channels with mic preamps on the rear panel. There are also four stereo channels with

identical mic pre-amps on the rear. There are 16 Omni output XLRs on the rear. (An Omni output is one that can be

patched to different output channels by the user.)

M7CL-48 is “all in one box” digital mixer that require no setup and no additional units before use.

USB Key

USB memory devices can be used to

“back-up” data on the M7CL.

; When choosing a storage device remember that; M7CL is USB1.1 compliant, so both USB1.1 and USB2.0

will work. Storage capacity must not exceed 16 GB. The drive can be formatted to FAT16 or FAT32 but must

not be partitioned. You can format a new drive in M7CL, but remember formatting a drive erases all its

memories. Most USB memory devices work, but Yamaha have a list of tested ones on www.yamahapropaudio.com

STEPS

1. Check patchbays for inputs / outputs (for a new show, start with nothing plugged in and after the final

show restore the patchbay to have no connections)

2. Power on the console – power switch on back, directly below a yellow piece of tape behind screen

3. Recall Scene 001 for a working starting point

4. Patch inputs

5. Follow procedures below AND remember to save your show in an OPEN Scene(s)

Scene 001

Before working on an analogue console, it is customary to check that the console has been “set to zero”. This

normally means setting the gain to minimum, the EQ to flat, auxes to off, group routing de-selected, insert points

switched off, etc. You’d be looking at and checking upwards of 1000 knobs (Midas H3000 in theatre)!

Because M7CL can memorize its settings, we have programmed a handy memorized scene (Scene001) where the

console is set to zero, ready to start at the touch of a button. The routing to PA, playback device inputs and effects

sends and returns are already configured to give you a starting point.

Scene 001 Recall

To recall Scene 001 press the up/down keys until SCENE

001 flashes in the [Scene Panel]. Then press [RECALL]

However certain features of M7CL are not under scene control. For example, Outport settings and User

Defined Keys are not recalled by scene control. Also, various things normally controlled by scenes can be

actively removed from scene control (using recall safes).

This can mean that recalling Scene 001 does not “set to zero” as expected.

Not included in Scene recall. (So not reset by Scene 000 OR 001)

but still remembered for all scenes.

Getting sound from M7CL in 6 easy steps.

No Sound - CHECK

Now you should hear sound out of the main PA system

Scene Save

To save a Scene press the up/down keys

Until you find an open SCENE.

Then press [STORE]

5Check the channel is ON and

6push up the fader up slowly.

4Keep the signal well below the red

“OVER” at all times. ~ -30 with -18

flashing is usually safe

3Turn the HA (HeadAmp) gain encoder

to set the gain using the channel meter

2Press the blue [SEL] button to select

the channel and assign the encoders.

Patch input sources as needed

7 Check the Stereo master (pink) chan-

nel is turned ON and 8and fader is

pushed up to 0.

The Basics;

Accessing the channel.

M7CL is an all digital mixer designed to be as easy to use as an analogue mixer. Obviously the way mix parameters

are changed is different to an analogue mixer but it needn’t be any more difficult.

[SEL]Select Keys

Navigation Keys

A channel strip, with a fader, meter and buttons is present on the surface for all input channels all the time.

There is not enough space to have a knob for every function present for all channels so just one channel of control

encoders is used. Press the blue [SEL] button to assign the channel encoders to the channel youwant.

To gain a broader channel view and operate other channel settings the channel must be selected to the

Centralogic™ section. Either select eight channel or single channel view.

Pressing one of the navigation keys will bring the eight

channel overview to the screen. From here you can see

channel settings and levels.

Press [SEL] to select a channel. Now the rotary encod-

ers will operate the selected channel.

To view the value of the encoders, “push click” any of

them. This will bring up the single channel view.

MTAC STUDIO M7CL Quick Start Guide - FOR TRAINING PURPOSES

The Basics;

Changing the channel parameters. HA popup; +48V.

Once you have assigned channels either to an eight or single channel view you can begin to modify their param-

eters. There is no need to enter menu systems for most basic parameters found on analogue consoles.

From the eight channel overview screen parameters

can be adjusted using the eight encoders below the

screen. Just touch the row of screen knobs (HA or Mix

send) and turn the corresponding encoder.

From the single channel view you can see the effect of

changing any of the encoders to the left of the screen.

To get more detail of a particular parameter just touch the screen again. From either main screen press the feature

you require (for example HA control) and a pop-up will appear.

Touch the screen in the same way to access pop-ups for; Insert and Direct send, EQ and Attenuator, Dynamics 1 and

2, Mix Send, Pan/LCR routing, DCA and Mute group, Name/Icon/Patch, Recall Safe, etc.

Press

To close pop-ups press the [X].

T; Or press anywhere

outside the pop-up in the

grey area.

From the HA/PATCH pop-up you can still

adjust HA gain but now you can also add

+48V phantom and change polarity Ø.

You can go to the NAME/PATCH pop-up

or using the tabs below see overviews

of eight or all channel HA details.

T; There is a +48V master switch

on the SETUP page. If condenser mics

don’t work check the master switch!

The Basics;

Channel parameter pop-ups. From Overview.

From the eight channel view you can access all the channel parameter pop-ups and use the encoders below to make

parameter changes. Just press the relevant area of the screen.

PRESS

Use the encoders below the screen to

operate the highlighted knobs on the

screen.

T Try turning the knob whilst push-

ing to get ‘fine resolution’.

MTAC STUDIO M7CL Quick Start Guide - FOR TRAINING PURPOSES

The Basics;

Channel parameter pop-ups. From Single Channel View.

From the single channel view you can access all the channel parameter pop-ups and use the encoders below to

make parameter changes. Just press the relevant area of the screen.

Note; Most Popups can be accessed

from several different places.

Use the encoders below the screen to operate the highlighted knobs

on the screen. Where there are more than one row of knobs touch the

screen; the white rings show which row will be controlled.

T Try turning the knob whilst pushing to get ‘finer resolution’.

MTAC STUDIO M7CL Quick Start Guide - FOR TRAINING PURPOSES

The Basics;

Sends on fader; an easy way of mixing Mix Groups/auxiliaries. (Monitor, FX or

Matrix Sends)

Auxiliaries can be adjusted by the encoders to the side or below the screen but for efficient monitor mixing a third

option is provided; SENDS ON FADER. (Like fader flip on other Yamaha digital mixers, but the master is not assigned

to an encoder).

Now input faders are assigned to be aux mix faders and each aux mix can be mixed in this way in turn. This way of

working is really popular with monitor engineers.

M7CL has 16 Mix Groups and these are ideal for mixing monitors with

SENDS ON FADER. M7CL also has 8 Matrix Groups. In addition to the

usual Matrix function of mixing the masters and mix groups, the Matrixes

can have inputs directly from input channels and behave just like the Mix

Groups for large monitor mixing projects.

So SENDS ON FADER has two pages; MIX ON FADER and MATRIX ON FADER.

Toggle between them with the screen MIX/MTRX button or use User

Defined key 1 and 2.

MATRIX ON

FADER MIX ON

FADER

To access Matrix on Fader,

press the MIX/MTRX button.

Faders Mix Monitors

Press the different as-

sign buttons to bring

different mixes to the

faders.

Press SENDS ON FADER

in the function access

panel and the console

changes mode.

Note; When in SENDS

ON FADER mode all

the [SEL] key lights

are on, except the

SEL

channel; it flashes.

Tip; You can press

the mix encoder but-

tons, rather than the

screen ,to select the

different mixes if you

prefer.

T; Press the assign

button a second time

to CUE the mix. The

button goes yellow.

T; Press User De-

fined Key 1 to enter

MIX ON FADER or key

2 to enter MATRIX ON

FADER.
