Welcome to the CBX-D5
Thank you for purchasing a CBX-D5 Digital Recording Processor. Connecting the
CBX-D5 to a controlling computer with supporting software and an external hard disk will
provide up to four channels of CD quality audio recording, processing, and playback.
CBX-D5 features
• 4-channel system: 2-channel simultaneous recording, 4-channel playback.
• A/D conversion: 16-bit linear

modulation.
• D/A conversion: 18-bit with 8-times oversampling digital filter.
• Multi-band parametric DEQ for each channel.
• DSP provides 82 different reverb and modulation type effects.
• 4-input, 4-bus, 2-send digital mixer.
• Sampling frequencies: 48kHz, 44.1kHz, 32kHz, (22.05kHz analog input only).
• Analog inputs and outputs use professional style XLR type connectors.
• Digital I/O includes AES/EBU, CD/DAT & Y2 Yamaha format.
• 10 minutes of stereo audio requires approximately 100MB hard disk (fs=44.1kHz).
• Total recording time can be increased by adding more SCSI hard disks.
• All audio data processing is carried out within the CBX-D5, so much less is demanded
of the computer, eliminating data bottlenecks and slow screen redraws.
• Host computer connection allows direct connection to a computer without a MIDI
interface.
Operating manual organization
The CBX-D5 is supplied with three manuals: this Operating Manual, the System Setup
Guide, and a Test Program manual.
This Operating Manual contains full details about the CBX-D5 Digital Recording
Processor: what it is, how it works, and how to use it. It also contains an index that will
allow you to locate information quickly, and also a glossary of CBX-D5 terminology.
The System Setup Guide describes how to set up a recording system using the current
supporting computers and music programs. From time to time this guide will be updated
using single sheet supplements. Please see your Yamaha dealer for the latest supplement.
The Test Program manual should be used in conjunction with the Hardware Test Program
Disk for testing the CBX-D5 hardware.
