About the Yamaha M2500
The Yamaha M2500 is a cost-effective mixing console designed for applications ranging from main PA work to installed sound. It is available in configurations providing 24, 32, 40, 48 or 56 monaural input modules alongside four stereo input modules, with 25 output buses in total including 14 AUX outputs, eight group outputs, a stereo output and a monaural output. Eight independent matrix outputs are also provided. Monaural input channels feature a 26 dB pad, high pass filter, phase switch, four-band EQ, 100 mm full-stroke faders and individually switchable 48 V phantom power. LCR output mode enables accurate spatial positioning across a three-channel stereo-plus-center system. The GROUP/AUX FLIP switch allows the eight fader output channels to serve either GROUP or AUX buses, making the M2500 equally practical as a stage monitor console. Scene Memory stores the on/off status of input and output channels for rapid recall.
Yamaha M2500 — buyer FAQs
What is the Yamaha M2500 and what is it designed for?
The Yamaha M2500 is a large-format analog mixing console designed for a wide range of applications, from main PA mixing to installed sound environments. It is available in configurations from 24 to 56 monaural input channels, each with four-band EQ, a 26 dB pad, high pass filter, phase switch and 100 mm full-stroke faders, alongside four stereo input modules and 25 output buses in total.
How many channels and buses does the M2500 offer?
The M2500 is available in 24, 32, 40, 48 and 56 monaural input configurations, each paired with four stereo input modules. All variants provide 25 output buses, comprising 14 AUX outputs, eight group outputs, a stereo output, a monaural output and eight independent matrix outputs. The GROUP/AUX FLIP switch lets the eight fader channels serve either GROUP or AUX buses depending on the application.
Can the Yamaha M2500 be used as a stage monitor console?
Yes. When the GROUP/AUX FLIP switch is set to AUX mode, all 14 AUX buses can be controlled by 100 mm faders, which makes the M2500 practical for monitor mixing duties. The desk also supports LCR output, allowing accurate spatial positioning across a three-channel stereo-plus-center playback system, and Scene Memory for storing and recalling channel on/off states.
Who makes the M2500 and where does it sit in their range?
The M2500 is made by Yamaha, a Japanese corporation whose Pro Audio division has been producing professional mixing consoles since the PM Series in 1972. Within that lineup, the M2500 sits in the analog console segment and is positioned as a cost-effective option for large-format live sound and installation work, offering a channel count and bus architecture comparable to more expensive professional desks.
What should I check when buying a used Yamaha M2500?
Check which input configuration the unit carries (24, 32, 40, 48 or 56 monaural channels), confirm all faders move freely and that individually switchable 48 V phantom power is working on relevant channels. Verify that INSERT I/O jacks on input and output channels are functional and that Scene Memory recall is operating.
