About the Yamaha PM3500M
The Yamaha PM3500M is a professional monitor mixing console available in 44 or 42 input module configurations, both equipped with centre master positions to support two-operator working. Eight VCA master faders provide control over any combination of input channels, while eight conventional mixing busses, eight monaural auxiliary busses and a stereo bus give operators broad routing options. Auxiliary sends are switchable pre- or post-fader, and four of the monaural auxiliary busses can be paired to function as stereo auxiliary busses on stereo input modules. The console can operate in a sub-grouped mode with a stereo grand master pair or with independent stereo and multi-channel mixes. A 12x12 Mix Matrix function, a feature Yamaha pioneered, is also fitted, with each matrix channel able to accept the stereo master bus alongside other sources.
Yamaha PM3500M — buyer FAQs
What is the Yamaha PM3500M and what is it designed for?
The Yamaha PM3500M is a professional monitor mixing console built for demanding live monitoring environments. It is available in 44 or 42 input module versions, both featuring centre master positions to support two-operator working. Its extensive routing options, including eight VCA master faders, eight conventional mixing busses, eight monaural auxiliary busses and a stereo bus, make it suited to complex stage monitoring setups.
What is the Mix Matrix function on the PM3500M?
The PM3500M is fitted with a 12x12 Mix Matrix, a function Yamaha pioneered. Each matrix channel can accept the stereo master bus alongside other sources, giving operators additional flexibility for routing and distribution beyond the main bus and group structure. This matrix capability extends what a conventional monitor console can do in multi-zone or complex monitoring situations.
How do the auxiliary busses work on the PM3500M?
The PM3500M provides eight monaural auxiliary busses on every input module. Four of these can be switched in pairs to operate as stereo auxiliary busses on stereo input modules. All auxiliary sends are switchable pre- or post-fader, allowing them to serve as foldback sends, effects sends or remote mixes, and they can also be used to augment the eight group busses.
Who makes the Yamaha PM3500M and where does it sit in the Yamaha range?
The PM3500M is made by Yamaha, a Japanese corporation whose Pro Audio division has produced professional mixing consoles since the 1972 PM Series. The PM3500M sits within that long-running PM console line, aimed at professional live sound and monitoring applications. Yamaha's broader pro audio range also covers signal processors, power amplifiers and speakers used across touring and venues.
What should I check when buying a used Yamaha PM3500M?
On a used PM3500M, verify that all input modules are present and working across the chosen 44 or 42 input configuration, that the eight VCA faders and all auxiliary bus switching functions correctly, and that the Mix Matrix operates as expected. Auxiliary send switching (pre/post fader) is worth testing on multiple channels.
