Eight signal processors can be used simultaneously; conventionally deployed as four graphics and four effects, but with all the onboard effects units capable of operating alternatively as graphics, up to eight graphics can be used. If you don't need the effects - the choice is yours. Operators can exploit processing power further through the new Flex15 GEQ. Standard graphic EQ gives 31-band operation; select Flex15 and each GEQ module functions as two 31-band units with 15 bands available at any one time.
Effects are equally powerful and flexible, echo, modulation, ambience, distortion - all available from Yamaha's established Rev-X stable of high quality 32bit 96kHz digital effects. Not to be ignored, Yamaha also presented additions to its range of professional power amplifiers. For the installer, the XP range includes five models, XP7000, XP5000, XP3500, XP2500 and the XP1000 (e.g power from the XP7000 = 2 x 700W per channel) provide a comprehensive selection. Main features on all models include EEEngine technology; remote amplifier monitoring control; multiple I/O connections; plus low and high cut frequency modulation filters.
At the top of the range, Yamaha has produced the flagship PC-1N Series; again available in five models PC9501N is rated at 2 x 925W per channel @ 8 ohms, with the PC6501N at 2 x 650W; PC4801N 2 x 475W; PC3301N 2 x 330W; and the PC2001N 2 x 200W - all at 8 ohms
The EEEngine enables high power output with low power consumption - typically 750W for the top end PC9501N model, down to 350W for the PC2001N - all from a 2U chassis. The efficiency of the EEEngine also means low heat generation even when driven at continuous high level, and consequently greatly reduced fan noise.
