Ultra Compact Digital Mixer With Endless Possibilities
The portable compact digital mixer DM3S has versatile features that make it ideal for a variety of applications. The DM3S offers superior sound, quick and easy setup and operation, and features that offer you a professional level of quality and workflow. In an ever-changing world that always presents new challenges and opportunities, Yamaha's DM3S gives you the power and flexibility to do more than you ever imagined in one compact digital console.
Whether you're at home, in a live performance venue, or in a recording studio, you can easily imagine bringing a DM3S console to record and stream audio, post-process as part of your DAW setup, or use it as a main mixer for a small performance one day and as a sub-mixer for a live stream the next day. The DM3S offers endless possibilities.
Sonic Purity Through Yamaha's Legacy
The ideal starting point for any audio engineering endeavor is transparent, pure sound. All Yamaha mixers are built on this philosophy, with the goal of allowing engineers to accurately capture the sound on stage without coloration, and add creative touches where needed.
Supporting sample rates of up to 96kHz, the deceptively powerful DM3S inherits the traditional sonic purity of its larger format predecessors and is the perfect starting point for mixing, recording, live streaming and even installed applications.
Intuitive and Powerful
Perhaps the most important advantage of digital consoles is ease of use and easy access to powerful features. Without this, an analog setup would require a higher level of user experience and more external equipment to achieve. Embodying the "less is more" design philosophy, the DM3S uses a 9-inch touchscreen and single touch-and-turn knob to manage most console operations, delivering an intuitive smartphone-like user experience.Yamaha DM3S Features:

Fast and Flexible Setup
Transporting, unloading and setting up sound reinforcement systems at venues is one of the most tedious tasks for sound engineers. With the DM3 series, flexible patching with Quick Pro presets, editors, and StageMix software, requires less space and time for configuration and physical setup, reducing system complexity. DM3S is a rugged console to take with you anywhere.Portability and Quick Setup
With precise structural design and material selection, the DM3S packs a low weight of just 14.3 pounds with a robust housing to withstand touring and day-to-day travel. The Yamaha R&D team has worked with renowned engineers and leading manufacturers such as Audio-Technica, FitEar, Sennheiser, Shure, Ultimate Ears and Westone Laboratories to bring you a selection of QuickPro Presets™ optimized for a wide variety of microphones and output devices.Enhance Your Creativity
Equipped with two high-quality multi-effect processors packed full with 18 types of high-quality effects, including REV HD and REV R3, it enables recording engineers the freedom and variety to hone in on their desired sonics.Applications For Any Venue
Various applications are available so that users can respond appropriately to the situation, such as the DM3 Editor for making adjustments well before a performance, DM3 StageMix for remote control of the DM3 series from the stage, and MonitorMix for allowing each performer to finetune their own monitor settings.Remote DAW Streamlined
DM3S pairs well with any DAW. Basic DAW operations like volume level, play, and stop can be performed using the console's faders and buttons as a tangible controller. The DM3S supports a variety of DAW software and switching to DAW Remote Mode is an easy one-step function performed by pressing CUSTOM 1 and 2 in the FADER BANK section together.Multiple Recording Options
Multitrack support is available to record via USB to Host, while simple 2-track tracking is possible using a USB memory stick.Cubase AI Software
DM3S is bundled with Cubase AI software from Steinberg. One of the most comprehensive DAW suites, Cubase has led the way, providing engineers and musicians with a powerful platform for production.- Mixing Capacity
