The Yamaha QL1 32-channel digital mixer is a compact, rental-friendly solution for live sound, corporate events, and broadcast applications. It combines high-quality internal processing, flexible routing, and remote control capability to simplify setup and deliver consistent results in small- to medium-scale productions.

Key Features

• Premium internal processors, including EQ and dynamics developed with Rupert Neve Designs, for transparent, musical tone-shaping.
• 32 input channels with extensive processing on each channel, letting you manage multiple sources without external racks.
• Automixing via Dan Dugan, which streamlines multi-microphone speech applications and reduces manual fader riding.
• Dante network support to integrate the console into larger audio-over-IP systems and simplify multichannel routing across a venue.
• Remote control from a tablet or computer, enabling mix adjustments from FOH, the stage, or a control room.
• Extensive scene memory and customization for quick recall of show settings and painless changeovers.

Use Cases

• Live music in small clubs and houses of worship where a compact footprint and high-quality processing matter.
• Corporate presentations and conferences, benefiting from automixing and simple remote operation.
• Broadcast and streaming setups that need reliable digital routing and studio-grade dynamics and EQ.

Included with your rental

• Yamaha QL1 console, ready for power-up.
• IEC power cable and basic setup documentation.
• Optional accessories commonly available for rent include Dante network cables, stage boxes, tablet or laptop for remote control, and flight case. Please request specific accessories when booking.

Notes on operation and integration

The QL1 is designed to be a self-contained mixing solution, but it also integrates smoothly into larger systems via Dante. Remote control requires a compatible tablet or computer and network configuration. For events relying on automated speech control, enable the Dan Dugan automixing to reduce background noise and manage multiple presenters with minimal operator intervention.
