New PY64-D Dante Interface Card Enhances DM7 Series Digital Mixers

November 12, 2024, Shizuoka, Japan - Yamaha has announced its new, versatile PY64-D Dante interface card for DM7 series digital mixing consoles. Adding more flexibility, the PY64-D will help DM7 users to create an even wider range of bespoke live and installed sound systems.

The new PY64-D card expands the Dante connection on DM7 series mixers with sample rate converter (SRC) functions, ensuring straightforward connections for complex systems, including devices using different sampling frequencies.

In addition, by connecting the DM7’s built-in Dante connectors and those on the PY64-D card to different Dante networks, the DM7 console can be used as a bridge between them, providing a secure option. Sync ON and OFF modes are available, with the settings made from the console.

The PY64-D provides 64 in/out at 96kHz with SRC, with primary and secondary connectors to support redundancy. Daisy chain connections are also supported.

"We are delighted that the PY64-D will enable the DM7 series to be used in a wider range of applications." says Thomas Hemery, Senior General Manager at Yamaha’s Professional Solutions Division.

Please note the PY64-D interface card needs the DM7 mixing console to be updated to Version 1.60 firmware (or later). Both will be available during December 2024.
