Yamaha MMP1 Studio Monitor Management ProcessorYamaha MMP1 Studio Monitor Management SystemPowerful 40 x 36 channel monitor management system that can handle stereo, 5.1, and 7.1, while also providing plenty of capacity for the rapidly growing array of immersive audio formats such as Dolby Atmos. The Yamaha MMP1 Studio Monitor Management System offers all essential audio processing functionality for DAW-based production environments in one streamlined, versatile, great-sounding, space-saving unit that provides efficient overall system management at surprisingly low cost. The heart of the MMP1 is the 40×36 Monitor Matrix to monitor source mixing that supports formats from Stereo to Immersive audio, including Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D and NHK 22.2. Other features include eight cue outputs, two talkback systems, cough mute, cough mute override, and studio speaker auto-mute. A 32×32 speaker management matrix with crossover filters for bass management on all channels follows the monitor matrix, allowing greater freedom and flexibility rather than just providing a limited selection of preset patterns. Both Finite (FIR) and Infinite (IIR) filters are provided for precise bass management, and to maintain flat phase response characteristics between channels for optimum sonic clarity and imaging. Time alignment delay and EQ are also included for comprehensive speaker output control. The powerful matrix mixers, functionality, flexible signal routing, and stunning sonic quality provided by the MMP1 make it easy to set up ideal monitor environments for a diverse range of applications.

MMP1 40 x 36 Monitor MatrixThe heart of the MMP1 is a 40 x 36 channel monitor matrix* that can handle stereo, 5.1 channel, and 7.1 channel formats with ease, while also providing plenty of capacity for the rapidly growing array of immersive audio formats such as Dolby Atmos. To accommodate the widest possible range of installations, the MMP1 includes eight cue outputs and eight studio speaker outputs, with two talkback systems that function with those outputs. Comprehensive, integrated management of monitoring, cue, and talkback functions allows this powerful matrix to efficiently connect and route all essential audio throughout the studio. * (32 inputs + 8 DSP channel inputs) x (32 outputs + stereo downmix outputs + stereo headphone outputs) @44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz. 20 x 20 channels @176.4 kHz and 192 kHz.Flexible Bass ManagementBass management is a widely used, effective solution for low-frequency control in surround sound monitoring environments, but fixed bass management systems do not provide the flexibility required for the huge variety of speaker arrangements and mix routing configurations employed for immersive audio production. Unlike systems that simply provide a limited selection of speaker layout presets, the MMP1 has a dedicated, freely-configurable 32 x 32 channel* speaker matrix with crossover filters for bass management on all channels, providing extraordinary bass management flexibility for just about any studio environment.Precision linear-phase FIR filters are available in addition to standard IIR filters, allowing phase interference between the main and LFE channels to be reduced to an absolute minimum for clear, well-defined sound and imaging.* 32 x 32 channels @44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz. 16 x 16 channels @176.4 kHz and 192 kHz.Outstanding Speaker Management PrecisionThe monitoring environment support provided by the MMP1 is complete in every detail, from inputs to final stage sonic adjustment. Time alignment delays, 6-band room EQ, and trims are provided on every one of the 32 monitor speaker output channels. This allows full, unabridged optimization of the monitor sound field for any format from stereo to the most complex multi-channel configurations.Full-featured Channel Strips with VCM Vintage CompressionDesigned for maximum integration and efficiency, the MMP1’s eight channel strips each include trim, delay, phase invert, filter, EQ, compression, and insert facilities. Everything needed for high-quality voice-over recording and other production tasks is built in, so the need for outboard processors and complex internal DAW routing is minimized.The compressor built into each channel strip is Yamaha’s acclaimed Comp260, a faithful VCM (Virtual Circuit Modeling) simulation of a prized analog compressor from the 1970s. Comp260 meticulously recreates the response and sound of the original VCA and RMS level detection circuitry. Designed with Post-production Recording in MindIn addition to eight cue outputs and eight studio speaker outputs, with two talkback systems that function with those outputs, the MMP1 offers a commentary function that allows smooth communication with artists and voiceover talent. Artists in the booth can be provided with a separate “cough mute” controller connected to the MMP1 GPI interface. Cough mute status is visible via the MMP1 Editor in the control room, and when the cough mute function is “off” and the microphone is live, the booth monitor speakers are automatically muted to prevent feedback. A number of other details add up to flexible, efficient postproduction recording support.Nuage System IntegrationThe MMP1 can be controlled directly from the monitor section of Yamaha’s NUAGE DAW system. Monitor source selection, levels, downmix and dimmer switching, talkback, and other functions can be controlled directly from physical controls on a Nuage Master or Nuage Fader unit. And because these functions can be accessed even when there is no computer or DAW online, monitor section operation is as direct and immediate as on a mixing console.Nuage is a complete system comprising the Nuage Fader controller; Nuage Master section; Dante network card; SyncStation; and Nuendo software.
