Yamaha Professional focus at ProLight+Sound 2017 is on significant updates to several products, as well as highlighting the benefits of its most recently-launched loudspeakers. Most importantly, its flagship RIVAGE PM10 digital mixing system was now expanded with the launch of the new CS-R10-S control surface, with approximately two-thirds the size of the existing CS-R10 for use in environments with limited space, such as theatre FoH mix positions or monitoring side stage.

Mackie was one of the first manufacturers to actually have success with iPad controlled digital audio mixers (DL1608 and DL806) and the subsequent rack-mount networked-controlled wireless mixing concept (DL32R). Now Mackie unveiled a bold new solution at NAMM 2016 with the AXIS modular digital mixing system, combining the DL32R, iPads, and the all-new DC16 control surface. A combination greater than the sum of parts.
