J Live Elevates Pro Audio Standards with Yamaha DM7 Console
J Live levels up their live sound game with Yamaha's DM 7 Console
J Live, a prominent name in India's live event industry, has made a significant upgrade to
its
professional audio inventory by incorporating the Yamaha DM7 digital mixing console. This
enhancement, complemented by two RIO3224-D2 units, underscores the company's commitment to
delivering top-tier sound quality and maintaining its leadership in the Indian live sound industry.
Based in Ahmedabad, J Live, also known as Jagdish Sound, has long been recognised for its
expertise
in technical rental solutions for live events.
Explaining the rationale behind this investment, Malvik Bhavsar, Director at J Live, stated:
"We've
grown into one of India's top touring live sound reinforcement companies. To cater to the increasing
demand for events in Gujarat, we strategically decided to invest in the Yamaha DM7. Bhavsar affirms
that the company always wanted to have Yamaha in their inventory and is thrilled to announce the
addition of the DM7. We are very impressed with the pristine sonic quality of the DM7 mixer, along
with its top-notch mic pre-amps, which deliver ultra-low latency and high-resolution processing."
The decision to incorporate the Yamaha DM7 stems from the company's focus on maintaining its high
standards in live sound, particularly for local band performances and corporate events, where space
and logistical efficiency are key factors.
The Yamaha DM7 digital mixing console is designed to provide exceptional performance with advanced
features that meet the demands of professional audio setups. The DM7's specifications include:
- 96 inputs and 48 Mix buses, 12 Matrix buses, and 2 Stereo buses for extensive routing
options.
- 144 in / 144 out Dante channels at 96 kHz sample rates, enabling seamless integration
with modern digital audio workflows.
- 12 + 4 faders and a dual multi-touch screen setup, comprising a 12.1-inch and a 7-inch
screen for intuitive operation.
- Built-in redundant power supply for enhanced reliability during critical live events.
- State-of-the-art SPX multi-effects and a highly customisable interface tailored to
diverse applications.
These features, along with its compact form factor, make the Yamaha DM7 an ideal choice for both
large-scale concerts and smaller, space-constrained setups.
Bhavsar further elaborated on the console's impact on their operations: "The state-of-the-art SPX
multi-effects and highly customisable interface make it ideal for our gigs where we need to maintain
the same level of sound quality and reliability that we offer in our big live concerts. The DM7 is
perfect for scenarios where we require top tier mixing capabilities in a compact form while
maintaining the same sound quality and reliability."
The Yamaha DM7, combined with the RIO3224-D2 units, ensures optimal audio performance with ultra-low
latency and high-resolution processing. The system's Dante compatibility further facilitates
efficient audio networking, making it a versatile tool for diverse event requirements.
Looking ahead, J Live has plans to expand its Yamaha inventory. Bhavsar revealed: "We have plans to
add more Yamaha consoles to our inventory very soon, with a pipeline to purchase the Yamaha PM7."
This planned investment reflects the company's commitment to staying at the forefront of
technological advancements in the live sound industry.
The addition of the Yamaha DM7 console positions J Live to meet the evolving demands of India's live
event industry. By integrating cutting-edge technology with a strong focus on sound quality and
reliability, the company continues to strengthen its reputation as a trusted partner for live sound
reinforcement.
With the Yamaha DM7 at the core of its operations, J Live is well-equipped to deliver exceptional
audio experiences for a wide range of events, from intimate gatherings to large-scale concerts. This
strategic upgrade underscores the company's dedication to elevating the standards of professional
audio in India.
