MRX7-D

The MRX7-D takes full advantage of the globally adopted Dante networking technology. Dante is a true digital network that increases the flexibility and expandability of an audio system while helping to reduce the cost. It can handle and distribute high numbers of audio channels over long distances to many devices on the network simultaneously. With so many Dante enable devices available, such as microphones, processors, digital mixers and amplifiers, it is the ideal choice for medium to large scale system designs.

The SD Memory Card slot allows direct playback of MP3 or WAV format audio files. These files could be a source for music playback which can be accessed remotely or, they could be preset announcements or messages that are broadcast according to the built-in scheduler function. Lastly, the SD card could also store the chime sounds which are triggered from a PGM1 paging station.

It is possible to add to the MRX7-Ds built-in I/O using the EXi8 and EXo8 Input/Output expanders. Featuring either eight mic/line inputs or eight analogue outputs, they transmit to and from the MRX7-D using Yamaha's YDIF format over distances of up to 30m.

The MRX7-D also features one Mini-YGDAI card slot that can accommodate optional cards that support a variety of audio formats, and expansion by up to 16 I/O channels.

The MRX7-D is equipped with dual Dante ports that allow 64 channels of inputs and outputs @44.1kHZ/48kHz to be run on a redundant network. Both simple and larger, sophisticated Dante network systems can be created using MRX7-D and the Dante enabled XMV-D amplifiers.

Audinate’s Dante Network Audio Protocol has been adopted, not only in Processors and Power Amplifiers, but also in many other types of digital audio equipment such as Yamaha Digital Mixing Consoles. In Ver 3.2 and later, supports the HA control of the I/O rack "Rio series"and "Tio 1608-D".This makes it the perfect backbone for larger networked audio systems particularly as connections are not limited to a 30m maximum as with YDIF, but can carry audio up to 100m over CAT5e cable.

A Dante digital network handles all the audio and control data making system alterations and expansion easy. New devices can be added to the network via a single CAT5e cable and quickly configured using the MTX-MRX Editor. Dante networking provides superior system flexibility as well as plenty of capacity for future expansion.

MRX7-D signal processor now support the AES67 audio network interconnection standard. This allows connection via AES67 to audio networks such as Ravenna, Q-LAN, or Livewire, increasing the expandability of the system.

Also supported is Dante Device Lock, which prevents a third party from modifying Dante settings. This can increase system security in environments such as concert halls where an outside operator is expected to operate the system or bring in equipment.

MRX7-D features the YDIF digital transmission format; a unique proprietary Yamaha technology that delivers 16ch audio and word clock transmission via standard CAT5 Ethernet cable. YDIF can be used for cascading multiple MRX/MTX Series or for feeding audio signal to XMV Series power amplifiers with very simple cabling up to 30 metres.

The PGM1 paging station and PGX1 paging expander are designed to work specifically with MRX7-D or MTX5-D. They work using PoE and connect to the network via Dante. Each PGM1 can be expanded with up to two PGX1 units and up to 4 units of PGM1 can be connected to a single system.

The need to protect privacy in conference rooms and meeting areas, particularly in financial or medical institutions, is a growing concern. The Speech Privacy System uses an original sonic masking technique to prevent leakage of confidential information. Rather than masking the conversation with high volume noise, an “information masking tone” synthesized from elements of human speech using an original process effectively camouflages spoken information. This approach allows the information to be protected by relatively low volume masking, helping to maintain the comfort of the conference environment. Sound synthesized from human speech renders conversation unintelligible to eavesdroppers. This function does not silence the sound of the conversation.

Yamaha and Revolabs codevelopped the mute link function, which enables mic muting of the Yamaha MRX7-D by ON/OFF button action directly from the Rebolabs Exective Elite - the local muting is disabled. Even when muted, the signal from the microphones is constantly sent to the AEC Module of MRX7-D to monitor the acoustic environment which speeds up AEC learning. This function greatly helps to reduce the chance of echo before the microphone is in use.

*This function requires on coming Executive Elite firmware version 1.1.6. and later

DCP controllers provide flexible external control of several functions such as preset recall, levels, and SD card playback. The series comprises of three different models that feature various configurations of switches and volume knobs. DCP controllers are connected to MTX/MRX series by using a daisy-chain connection up to eight control panels. All three models are available in either US or EU standardized sizes, built to meet the specifications of most regions around the globe.

DCH8 divides the control line from host devices such as the Yamaha MTX/MRX series into up to 8 lines. It allows for a flexible system structure, with a combination of star connections and daisy chain connections as a repeater between the host device and the control panels.

It is possible to connect up to eight units of DCP controller by using daisy chain connections of up to 200m. And, it is possible to extend the connection distance by reducing the number of DCP series that are installed as below. When using 2 or 3 DCP controllers in a commercial space which has a wide floor, a simple daisy chain connection is effective. When using more than 4 DCP controllers in a wide commercial space over more that one floor, a flexible topology (combining Daisy chain and Star connections) can help to extend the "total" cable length by combining a DCP series with DCH8.

The Wireless DCP app for iPhone or Android devices allows you to remote control the MTX/MRX series. Since the Wireless DCP has the same function as the DCP series, you can control the MTX/MRX series via your smart device at any place in the restaurants, banquet halls and so on.

MTX-MRX Editor is a software application that is dedicated to the setup and management of sound systems built around the MTX and MRX series signal processors. It can mix audio from microphones, CDs, MP3 and WAV files, deliver different content to multiple zones, set up timer-activated music playback and announcements, and much more. MTX-MRX Editor makes it easy to manage and distribute sound that is optimized for separate areas of a store or facility from a single computer.

Furthermore, in Ver 3.2, for example, in multiple facilities such as amusement parks and shopping malls, it is possible to manage multiple areas separately on multiple subnets for each zone by a single PC.

This function mixes environmental sounds and masking sounds to make it difficult for people nearby to overhear conversation in a specific location. Although there are two outputs for each mixed signal, these two consist of an output without offset and an output with offset. By assigning these two outputs to alternating speakers, you can reduce the unnatural sensation of skewed phase where the sound overlaps.

Audio Detector is a function that detects audio signals. By registering the detection indicator to the GPI Output, a signal can be output from the unit's GPI [OUT] connector when an audio signal is detected.
