BUENA PARK, CA — Yamaha Commercial Audio Systems is retiring its 10-year-old PM1D digital mixing system, saying it has reached the limit on availability of key components and citing the need to secure enough parts for customer service well into the future. Production will cease in December 2009. The company has also released a white paper that outlines plans for the next generation of Yamaha's digital system platform.
Current requests for PM1D systems will be fulfilled, and limited quantities will remain available until the existing stock is depleted.
“Yamaha Corporation Japan has been hard at work advancing the next generation digital system platform,” said Larry Italia, vice president/general manager, Yamaha Commercial Audio Systems, Inc. “The PM1D was responsible for moving the commercial audio market forward, and as we begin this next era, our goal is to continue to provide our customers with the tools that meet changing market demands well into the 21st Century.”
