Yamaha 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 (A-Net), AuviTran (EtherSound), Audinate (Dante networking), AudioService (MADI), Dan Dugan (automixer), Riedel Communications (RockNet), Waves Audio (SoundGrid interface, DSP plugins), and Optocore (optical network).

[1] In 2006, the M7CL was recognized at the TEC Awards ceremony for best sound reinforcement console technology.

It employs a touch screen, rotary encoders, and faders that dynamically map to whatever function or parameter is selected for adjustment.

The control software has only 3 main screens, Overview, Selected Channel, and Effects Rack views.

Live sound companies often use the mixer for stage monitoring purposes, but have also used it for Front of House environments.
