FIRST ANNUAL PROSOUND WEB/LIVE SOUND READERS' CHOICE AWARD CHOOSE YAMAHA PM5D

pswrcalogo.jpgBUENA PARK, Calif.⎯Well, the results are in, but we knew it all along. 35,000 readers of Live Sound Magazine and ProSoundWeb have spoken. The Yamaha PM5D digital audio console was selected in the First Annual Readers' Choice Product Awards as the winner in the Digital Large Format Console category.

“We have never doubted the strength of the PM5D, and the validation by end users and dealers solidifies our dedication in providing the best products, making this acknowledgement that much sweeter,” states Larry Italia, Vice President/General Manager, Yamaha Commercial Audio Systems, Inc. “As the PM5D celebrates its sixth birthday, we look forward to providing the market with even greater technology products in the future.”

Yamaha has sold more PM5D units than the combined number of units sold by any of its competitors with product in a similar class of mixer.

As editors of ProSoundWeb and Live Sound have stated, ‘while we all love to see the latest, the freshest, in terms of innovation and design, it shouldn't come at the expense of ignoring great products that have been doing the job day in and day out for years. Rather, it would seem that the proven longevity and usefulness of some products are among their biggest strengths and should not be overlooked.'
