This document describes how to achieve mirroring with Yamaha DM2000 digital mixers, including preparation work and configuration steps
The Redundancy Guide describes a mirroring setup for mission‑critical live‑mix applications. By connecting two identical Yamaha digital mixers (PM5D(RH), M7CL, LS9, DM2000, DM1000, 02R96, 01V96) and sharing inputs, the backup console can instantly take over if the main console fails, ensuring uninterrupted audio mixing.
The document details the required hardware (identical consoles, matching MY‑cards, split analog/digital inputs, two MIDI cables, and a memory card or USB storage), the MIDI and HOST configuration steps, how to save and transfer ALL DATA files, and how to use Yamaha Studio Manager to synchronize scenes, libraries, and settings between the consoles. It also lists which functions are mirrored automatically and which must be set manually.
