• Do not place the device in a location where it may come into contact with

corrosive gases or salt air. Doing so may result in malfunction.

•Avoid setting all equalizer controls and faders to their maximum.

Depending on the condition of the connected devices, doing so may cause

feedback and may damage the speakers.

• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold

or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day)

to prevent the possibility of panel disﬁguration or damage to the internal

components.

• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally

fall over.

• Do not block the vents. This device has ventilation holes at the top and rear

to prevent the internal temperature from becoming too high. In particular,

do not place the device on its side or upside down. Inadequate ventilation

can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or

even ﬁre.

• Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,

mobile phone, or other electric devices. Doing so may result in noise, both

in the device itself and in the TV or radio next to it.

• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all

devices. Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume

levels to minimum.

• Be sure to connect to a properly grounded power source. A ground screw is

provided on the rear panel of this device for maximum safety and shock

prevention. If the mains outlet is not grounded, be sure to connect the

ground screw to a conﬁrmed ground point before plugging the device into

the mains. Improper grounding can result in electrical shock.

• When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the

power ampliﬁer LAST, to avoid speaker damage. When turning the power

off, the power ampliﬁer should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.

• Do not insert your ﬁngers or hands in any gaps or openings on the device

(vents, etc.).

•Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into

any gaps or openings on the device (vents, etc.) If this happens, turn off the

power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then

uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss.

If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a

physician.

• Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it, and

avoid use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

• This device has a built-in backup battery. When you unplug the power cord

from the AC outlet, the current scene data and library data is retained.

However, if the backup battery fully discharges, this data will be lost. When

the backup battery is running low, the LCD display indicates “Low Battery!”

when you starting up the system (the Battery ﬁeld also indicates “LOW” or

“NO” in the MISC SETUP screen.) In this case, immediately save the data

to a USB memory, then have qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel replace

Introduction

LS9-16/32 Owner’s Manual

Chapter 1

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha LS9 digital mixing console. In order to take full advantage

of the LS9’s superior functionality and enjoy years of trouble-free use, please read this manual

before you begin using the product. After you have read the manual, keep it in a safe place.

The LS9 is a digital mixing console with the following features.

■

Mixing system that packs top-class

functionality into a compact size

• • • • •

The LS9 is a full-digital mixing console designed for

installed systems or SR applications, and in spite of its

compact size, provides functionality and a channel count

comparable to large-format consoles. 24-bit linear AD/DA

converters are used to deliver up to 108 dB of dynamic

range and amazing sound quality.

As input channels, it provides 32 (LS9-16 model) or 64

(LS9-32 model) monaural INPUT channels, and four ste-

reo ST IN channels.

As output channels, it provides 16 MIX channels, eight

MATRIX channels, a STEREO channel, and a MONO

channel. L/C/R three-channel output using the STEREO/

MONO channels is also supported.

■

Analog-feeling operability

• • • • • • • • • •

Simply by pressing a key, you can select the combination

of channels (“fader layer”) to be operated from the top

panel faders. You can operate the console while quickly

switching between input channels and output channels. In

addition, you can also use a custom fader layer that lets

you specify any desired combination of channels. Since

fader/cue operations and on/off switching for all channels

can be performed from the panel, even customers using

digital consoles for the ﬁrst time will ﬁnd operation famil-

iar and comfortable.

The SELECTED CHANNEL section located at the right

of the display lets you use the knobs to control the main

parameters (gain, EQ, dynamics threshold, bus send lev-

els, etc.) for the particular channel on which you’re focus-

ing. This section can be operated just like a module on an

analog mixer.

Mix parameter settings, including head amp gain and

phantom power for input channels, can be stored and

recalled as “scenes.”

All faders on the panel are motorized moving faders, so

that when you recall a scene, the previous fader locations

are reproduced immediately.

Thank you

■

Effects and graphic EQ that can be

patched into a desired signal path

• • • •

There are eight virtual racks, in which you can mount

effects or graphic EQ and then patch them into the desired

signal route. Graphic EQ can be mounted in racks 1–4,

and effects or graphic EQ can be mounted in racks 5–8.

You can simultaneously use up to four high-quality multi-

effects, which include reverb, delay, multi-band compres-

sor, and various modulation-type effects. These can be

used via an internal bus, or inserted into a desired channel.

For the graphic EQ you can select either 31-band graphic

EQ or Flex 15 GEQ. These can be inserted into the desired

channel or output. The Flex 15 GEQ allows you to adjust

the gain for any ﬁfteen of the thirty-one bands. Since two

Flex 15 GEQ units can be mounted in a single virtual rack,

a total of up to sixteen graphic EQ units can be used

simultaneously.

■

A recorder function that’s useful for

sound checks or recording mixes

• • • •

A recorder function is provided, allowing you to use USB

memory to record the output of the STEREO bus or a

Introduction

LS9-16/32 Owner’s Manual

The names of the LAYER section keys differ between the LS9-16 and LS9-32.

● LS9-16 ● LS9-32

In conjunction with this difference, there are also differences in the numbering of the channel modules on the panel and the

channels that are assigned to each fader layer.

The LS9 provides the following input channels and output channels.

■ Input channels • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

This section processes input signals and sends them to

various buses (STEREO, MONO, MIX). The LS9 has the

following two types of input channel.

● INPUT channels 1–32 {1–64}

These channels process monaural signals. In the initial

state, the input signals from the rear panel INPUT jacks

and the input channels of the slot(s) are assigned to these

channels.

● ST IN channels 1–4

These channels process stereo signals. In the initial state,

the outputs of virtual racks 5–8 are assigned to these chan-

nels.

Signal assignments to the input channels (input patching)

can be changed as desired.

■ Output channels • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

This section mixes the signals sent from input channels

etc., and sends them to the corresponding output ports or

output buses.

There are three types of output channel, as follows.

● MIX channels 1–16

These channels process the signals sent from input chan-

nels to the MIX buses, and send them from the output

ports. These are used mainly to send signals to the monitor

system or to external effects.

The signals of MIX channels 1–16 can also be sent to the

STEREO bus, MONO bus, or MATRIX buses.

When the LS9 is in the initial state, these are assigned to

the OMNI OUT jacks or the output channels of the slot(s).

● MATRIX channels 1–8

These channels process the signals that are sent from MIX

channels, STEREO channels, and MONO channel to the

MATRIX buses, and send them from the output ports.

Using the STEREO and MONO buses, different combina-

tions of signals and mix balances can be sent out from the

console.

● STEREO channel / MONO channel

These channels process the signals that are sent from the

input channels or MIX channels, and send them to the cor-

responding output port. These channels are used as the

main stereo output and monaural output.

The STEREO channel and MONO channel can be used

either to output independent signals, or for three-channel L/

C/R playback.

When the

LS9

is in the initial state, the STEREO channel is

assigned to OMNI OUT jacks 15/16 {31/32} and to the

2TR OUT DIGITAL jack.

Signal assignments to the output channels (output patch-

ing) can be changed as desired.

LS9-16/32 Owner’s Manual

The sixteen MIX buses provided on the LS9 can be assigned either as VARI or FIXED types in

pairs of adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered buses (→ p. 213). They can also be switched

between monaural/stereo for the same pairs of buses. VARI type and FIXED type buses differ as

follows.

● VARI

This type allows the send level of the signal sent from the

input channels to the MIX bus to be varied. The point at

which the signal is sent from the input channel to a VARI

type MIX bus can be chosen from before the EQ

(attenuator), before the fader, or after the channel on/off.

This type is used mainly for sending the signal to a moni-

tor system or external effect.

● FIXED

With this type, the send level of the signal sent from the

input channels to the MIX bus is ﬁxed. The signal from an

input channel is sent to a FIXED type MIX bus from

before Pan (if the MIX bus is monaural) or after Pan (if

the MIX bus is stereo). This type is used mainly when you

want to distribute signals to an external device with the

same mix as the STEREO/MONO buses.

“Word clock” refers to the clock that provides the basis of timing for digital audio signal process-

ing.

Normally, one device transmits a reference word clock signal, and the other devices receive this

word clock signal and synchronize to it.

In order to transmit or receive digital audio signals to or from an external device via the LS9’s

2TR IN DIGITAL/2TR OUT DIGITAL jacks or via a digital I/O card installed in a slot, the word

clock must be synchronized between the devices. Be aware that if the word clock is not synchro-

nized, the signal will not be sent correctly, or there may be unpleasant noise. (For details on syn-

chronizing the LS9’s word clock with an external device → p. 46)

In this manual, switch-type controllers on the panel are called “keys.” Of the control knobs on the

panel, those that turn from a minimum value to a maximum value are called “controls,” while

those that turn endlessly are called “encoders.”

Controllers located on the panel are enclosed in square

brackets [ ] (e.g., [CUE] key) in order to distinguish them

from the virtual buttons and knobs displayed in the screen.

For some controllers, the name of the section is given

before the [ ] (e.g., LAYER [MASTER] key).

Whenever there is a difference between the LS9-16 model

and the LS9-32 model, speciﬁcations that apply only to

the LS9-32 model are enclosed in curly brackets { } (e.g.,

INPUT jacks 1–16 {1–32}).
