Live Sound & Event Production

Yamaha’s prolific history as an industry leader in professional audio initially started with the primary objective of simply amplifying musical performances for growing audience sizes. In the 50 years since, Yamaha has continued to evolve to meet the demands of the ever-expanding world of live sound reinforcement, providing innovative, large-scale live audio solutions for renowned artists around the globe. From mixers and amplifiers to speakers and effectors, Yamaha has been developing high-end audio products for decades–initially with a focus on analog gear before shifting focus to primarily digital systems. Today, Yamaha’s innovative digital signal processing and network technologies combined with our trademark ease of operation, durability, and most of all, superior sound quality, make our live audio solutions and related products the obvious choice for professionals around the world that want to get the absolute best out of their PA system.

A foundation of sound

At Yamaha we believe that good sound should clearly convey an artist’s full range of expression and inspire their audience. Our sound philosophy is centered on capturing the most pure, uncolored reproduction of a vocal or instrument performance to use as a starting point. This serves as the foundation for engineers to build upon and add their signature style using the state-of-the-art DSP tools and effects of our versatile mixing consoles.

Stress-free operation

Yamaha audio products are held in high regard amongst audio professionals the world over for a number of reasons. Among the most significant are their intuitive operation, and the well-thought-out geography of their design. Even users with little-to-no engineering experience can often use Yamaha equipment right out of the box— a testament to their user-friendly design and the careful consideration that goes into it.

Unrivaled reliability

Safe, stress-free usage of our professional audio gear has been a top priority for over 50 years. At Yamaha, we understand that system failure is simply not an option for live performances, and equipment reliability can sometimes make or break an event. Always conscious of this, we’ve equipped our products with crucial safety and protection features to protect the high-quality components encased in durable, road-tested cases and enclosures. As a result, Yamaha has garnered a reputation worldwide as an industry leader for reliable system performance in critical live performance environments.
