context_page_description: The Yamaha M7CL is a digital mixer that was manufactured by Yamaha Pro Audio. Two models with onboard analog input exist: the M7CL-32 and M7CL-48. These models have 40- and 56-input channels respectively, counting mono channels. Mixes, masters, groups, DCAs and individual channels can then be routed to an output via any number of the board's 16 configurable output XLR ports. The eight faders of the master control section can control multiple functions by way of "layers" in the same manner as the Yamaha PM5D. The board features Yamaha's "Selected Channel" technology, and Centralogic, unique to the M7CL. It can be augmented with more inputs or outputs via expansion cards, and can be fitted with third-party cards such as ones made by Aviom, AuviTran, Audinate, AudioService, Dan Dugan, Riedel Communications, Waves Audio, and Optocore. The M7CL-48ES recently joined the line-up with built-in EtherSound for digital networking using EtherSound stage boxes.
  In 2006, the M7CL was recognized at the TEC Awards ceremony for best sound reinforcement console technology.

The M7CL-48ES recently joined the line-up with built-in EtherSound for digital networking using EtherSound stage boxes.
  In 2006, the M7CL was recognized at the TEC Awards ceremony for best sound reinforcement console technology. In 2011, a wireless app to control the M7CL with an iPad was nominated but did not win the TEC Award for best wireless technology.
