Yamaha Corporation has announced Firmware V7.20 for its RIVAGE PM digital mixing systems, a major update which introduces support for the new DM5 series digital mixing consoles, RUio utility I/O units, DME5 and DME3 signal processors, as well as the newly-announced AuviTran AV-HY64-AVB interface card.
Giving access to AVB MILAN networking, enhanced visibility and remote control across an increasingly diverse range of connected devices, the new firmware allows the building of larger, more versatile RIVAGE PM-based systems across live sound, installed audio and immersive production environments.
A key highlight of RIVAGE PM V7.20 is support for the new AuviTran AV-HY64-AVB interface card, launched at InfoComm 2026.
Designed specifically for Yamaha RIVAGE PM systems, the card enables direct integration with AVB MILAN networks, providing an additional high performance networking option for live sound, fixed installation, public address and immersive applications, while preserving the workflow, sound quality and reliability that users expect from Yamaha’s flagship digital mixing platform.
The AV-HY64-AVB card supports up to 64 input and 64 output channels at 96kHz, delivering AVB MILAN redundancy support and low latency audio transport with ultra-stable clock synchronisation. It creates a direct digital signal path from the console to amplifiers or immersive audio processors, while reducing conversion stages throughout the signal chain.
RIVAGE PM V7.20 also expands support for a range of newly-introduced Yamaha products, allowing users to build more flexible and scalable systems, while maintaining centralised monitoring and control directly from RIVAGE PM consoles.
The Dante Supported Device list now includes the new DM5 and DM5 Compact digital mixing consoles, the RUio1608SB-D, RUio0804-D, RUio16FLX-D utility I/O units and the latest DME5 and DME3 signal processors. These additions allow RIVAGE PM systems to be integrated into an even greater variety of audio production environments.
Similarly, the DM5 series can be incorporated into larger RIVAGE PM systems, extending the common Yamaha workflow across productions of different scales.
Seamless compatibility with the RUio utility I/O lineup expands system flexibility and control, with the RUio1608SB-D providing convenient on stage connectivity, the RUio0804-D delivering compact remote I/O expansion, as well as the RUio16FLX-D’s versatile analogue, digital and AES connectivity for amplifier racks and distributed audio.
Support for the DME5 and DME3 signal processors further strengthens integration between Yamaha mixing and audio processing platforms, allowing users to monitor and control an increasingly sophisticated range of system components from a single console.
“We are delighted to bring RIVAGE PM users an even more powerful and versatile platform through support for the latest Yamaha devices and AuviTran’s AV-HY64-AVB interface card,” says Motome Tanaka, Senior General Manager of Professional Solutions Division, Yamaha Corporation.
“By adding AVB MILAN as a new networking option and expanding integration with Yamaha’s growing ecosystem of consoles, processors and I/O devices, we can offer our customers even greater freedom to design systems that best fit their needs. Together with our partners, we look forward to helping audio professionals deliver exceptional experiences to audiences around the world.”
Xavier Allanic, General Manager of AuviTran and Digigram, added: “With the AV-HY64-AVB interface, RIVAGE PM users gain dedicated access to AVB MILAN workflows, while continuing to benefit from Yamaha’s renowned mixing environment. We are pleased to work alongside Yamaha to provide audio professionals with greater networking flexibility for live sound, installed audio and immersive applications.”
