Features

An Eight-Channel Head Amplifier that Inherits Acclaimed DM2000 Head-Amp Technology

• Having earned the acclaim of professional engineers at live-sound venues, music production studios and other areas, the head-amp technology from Yamaha's top-of-the-line DM2000 Digital Production Console was selected for use in the MLA8. This head amp design achieves stunning audio quality, reproducing the original sound with breathtaking clarity.

Practical Features in a Compact 1U Package

• In a space-saving 1U design, the MLA8 front panel offers a 26 dB pad, adjustable 44 dB gain trim, an 80 Hz high-pass filter, and a phantom-power switch on each channel. Used in conjunction with Yamaha digital mixers, DME64N/24N digital mixing engines, or other state-of-the-art digital audio gear, the MLA8 offers simple, straightforward signal control that can provide invaluable complementary functionality for a wide range of applications.

Convenient Color-coded Control Interface

• The control colors for Yamaha mixers are based on a set of common rules. Accordingly, the MLA8 uses green for signal indicators and high-pass filters, red for peak indicators, and gray for pads. In systems where the MLA8 will be combined with other Yamaha products, this provides an intuitive, efficient working environment.
