Yamaha has officially released Firmware V7.20 for its RIVAGE PM digital mixing systems. This update introduces expanded hardware support, including the DM5 series consoles, RUio units, and DME signal processors.
Why it matters
This firmware update aims to provide audio professionals with more flexible and scalable system configurations. By enabling direct integration with AVB MILAN networks, the update allows for centralized monitoring and control from a single console.
The update enables support for the AuviTran AV-HY64-AVB card, which facilitates 64 input and 64 output channels at a 96kHz sample rate. The firmware also provides centralized control for DME5 and DME3 signal processors.
The players
Yamaha
Yamaha is a global manufacturer of musical instruments, professional audio equipment, and electronics.
AuviTran
AuviTran is an audio networking technology company that designs professional hardware and software solutions.
The details
The firmware facilitates direct integration with AVB MILAN networks across a variety of Yamaha professional audio hardware. This centralized control allows engineers to manage complex signal paths across multiple units from a single RIVAGE PM interface.
Timeline
Firmware V7.20 was released for RIVAGE PM systems on October 1, 2026.
The AuviTran AV-HY64-AVB card was launched earlier in 2026.
The Tech Race
This integration reflects a broader industry movement toward standardized network protocols like AVB MILAN to replace proprietary audio connection formats. By supporting these open standards, Yamaha positions its RIVAGE PM ecosystem to remain compatible with a wider array of third-party modular hardware.
Professional sound engineers and system integrators can now consolidate their network monitoring tasks directly through their RIVAGE PM consoles. This integration simplifies daily workflow management and reduces the need for secondary control interfaces when operating complex signal chains.
The takeaway
The addition of AVB MILAN support enables a more streamlined approach to managing large-scale, high-fidelity audio networks. Users should verify their specific hardware models against the V7.20 release notes to ensure full compatibility before deploying the update in live environments.
