Precautions • Connect the mixer power cord only to the power supply unit, and connect the power supply unit to an AC outlet of the type stated in this Owner’s Manual or as marked on the power supply unit. Failure to do so is a fire and electrical shock hazard.
Features of the system • The M3000-40C provides a generous number of input modules; 40 monaural and 4 stereo (the M3000-24 provides 24 monaural and 4 stereo). Stereo output, 16 mix outputs, and 8 matrix outputs are provided in addition. The M3000 is suitable for use in a wide...
–15 M13/ M15/ Mono input channels The M3000-24 provides 24 input channels, and the M3000-40C provides 40 input channels. All input channels have the same specifications. A Phantom power switch/ +48 V indicator This switch turns the +48 V phantom power on/off for each channel.

I M1–M8 switches These switch on/off the signal which is sent from the input channel to MIX buses 1–8. Note: If these switches are off, no signal will be sent to the corresponding MIX bus from this input channel, regardless of the switch setting of the vari- able/fixed select section (page 13).

Control panel CHECK EDIT PEAK SIGNAL GROUP Q ST (stereo) switch When this switch is on, the signal of the input channel will be sent to the (ST) stereo bus. R PAN control This sets the panning of the signal that is sent from the input channel to the ST bus.
U VCA GROUP select switches These switches select the VCA master fader(s) which will control the signal output level of this channel. When you select a VCA group 1–8, the indicator located at the left of each switch will light, and the corresponding VCA master fader (VCA master section 3) will control the channel.
Control panel GAIN –30 –20 –15 –15 –15 –15 M13/ M15/ Stereo input channels The M3000 provides four stereo input channels. Ste- reo sound sources such as sub-mixers, effect proces- sor, or CD players can be input to the INPUT A jacks (XLR connectors) or INPUT B jacks (RCA phono connectors) located on the rear panel.

G M1–M8 mix level controls These controls combine the stereo signal from the ste- reo input channel into a mono signal, and send it to MIX buses 1–8. When the control is in the “ ” posi- tion, the level is nominal (0 dB). Use the PRE switch (M) to switch between pre/post fader.

Variable/fixed select section The M3000’s GA (Group/Aux) diversity function allows MIX buses 1–8 to function either as group buses or as AUX buses. In this section, you can switch each pair of MIX buses (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8) between functioning as group buses or as AUX buses. –15 –15 –15...
Control panel Mix section These output channels control the signals of MIX buses 1–16. MIX buses 13/14 and 15/16 are controlled as stereo pairs respectively. The signal that passes through these output channels is output individually from the MIX OUT 1–16 jacks (page 27), and can also be sent to the MAS AFL bus, MAS PFL bus, ST bus, and the matrix.
Control panel VCA master fader section The VCA master fader section allows the gain of input channels assigned to a VCA group to be controlled as a whole by the corresponding VCA fader. The VCA group(s) to which each input channel is assigned is specified by the VCA GROUP select switches (mono input channels (U), stereo input channels R).

Control panel Matrix section The M3000 provides eight matrices which allow output signals from the MIX buses 1–16 or the ST bus, or input signals from MATRIX SUB IN to be mixed at the desired level. Matrix 1–8 are output in mono from MATRIX OUT jacks 1-8 respectively (page 27), and can be used as foldback or for an individual monitor system.

Rear panel L ST OUT A/B jacks These are XLR output jacks (balanced) for outputting the signals from the STEREO A/B sections. Nominal output level is +4 dB for both sections. Pin wiring is as follows. Female XLR plug M MONITOR OUT jacks These are XLR output jacks (balanced) for monitor- ing the monitor source selected on the control panel.
U MIDI IN/OUT/THRU connectors These are standard five-pin MIDI connectors. By con- necting a sequencer or personal computer to these con- nectors, you can select scenes remotely, or backup scene memories. If two or more M3000 consoles are con- nected via MIDI, a scene selection on one M3000 can simultaneously switch the scene on the other M3000(s).
About the GA Diversity functionality The GA Diversity functionality of the M3000 allows you to switch the MIX buses 1–8 between acting as group buses (output level from the input channels will be fixed) or acting as AUX buses (output level from the input channels will be variable).
About the Scene Memory function What is scene memory? Scene memory is a function which stores the on/off status of the mono/stereo input channels and of MIX buses 1–12, 13/14, 15/16 and ST A as one of 128 “scenes.” A scene that has been stored can be recalled instantly at a touch of a switch.
About the Scene Memory function Operations in normal mode Storing a scene (normal mode) 1. Make sure that the M3000 is in normal mode, and use the ON/EDIT switches of the mono/ste- reo input channels, the mix section and the STE- REO A section to make the desired on/off settings.
Operations in check mode In check mode you can verify the settings of a scene before recalling it, or edit the on/off status of the ON/ EDIT keys without affecting the internal audio sig- nals. To move from normal mode to check mode, press the CHECK switch in the scene memory section.

About the VCA functionality The VCA master section of the M3000 contains eight VCA master faders. These VCA master faders 1–8 can be used to control the overall input level of input channels assigned to the corresponding VCA groups 1–8. MIX 1/2 MIX 3/4 MIX 5/6...

Using two or more VCA master faders to control a single channel As the opposite of the example on the previous page, it is also possible to assign a channel to two or more VCA groups. The following diagram shows an exam- ple of signal flow when channel 1 is assigned to VCA groups 1, 5, and 8.
Page 40
About the VCA functionality • If the VCA MUTE switch of a VCA master fader is turned on (the indicator beside the switch will light), the post-fader signal of all input channels assigned to that VCA group will be muted. This is convenient when you wish to simultaneously mute or un-mute multiple channels without operating the faders.
Utility mode (battery check) parameter is selected. If this mes- sage appears, contact your dealer or a Yamaha service center to have the battery replaced as soon as possible. If this error message appears when the power is turned on, press any switch to return to the normal display.
