At Herscheid & the Headbangers: Fully Serviced & Recapped Yamaha PM-430 with Direct Outs and 4 channels equipped with +48V Phantom – Very Good condition!

This Yamaha PM-430 has been fully serviced and recapped, it operates flawlessly and it's ready to deliver decades more of legendary performance. Every potentiometer and fader moves smoothly, free from noise or scratchiness.

Inside, every capacitor has been replaced with premium low-ESR Nichicon (Made in Japan — the same brand Yamaha originally used).

If you’re reading this, you probably already know what makes the PM-430 special. If not, you’re in for a treat: this mixer embodies everything you’d want from a high-quality vintage analog console.

• Tone & Components:
  Exceptionally quiet, with the unmistakable character of Tamura microphone input transformers and Yamaha NE80100 discrete op-amps on main program L & R + Aux L & R, monitor 1 monitor 2
• Direct outs are post-EQ & fader, giving you flexible recording and summing options.
• VU meter lights have been replaced and are good for many more years.
• Phantom power on channels 1-4. Controlled by a single switch located at the top left corner of the board.

• EQ & Routing:
• Simple but musical 2-band EQ on each channel (Low and High cut/boost).
• Inductive Low EQ! The PM-430’s signature musical low-end character, with a smooth, punchy response
• Dual monitor sends (M1 pre-fader / also the Echo send for external effects, and M2 post-fader).
• Each input has a 3-position mic attenuation switch. The master section also includes a dedicated EQ for shaping your main program mix.
• The Echo send (M1) lets you patch in any external effects unit (delay, reverb, modulation, etc.) and blend it seamlessly into your mix — a powerful creative tool that keeps this console highly versatile in modern setups.
• Output Stage:
  At the end of the chain, Tamura output transformers on the balanced XLR master outs deliver warm, rich, and full-bodied sound with powerful low end. For a drier, cleaner mix option, you can also pull your master signal from the unbalanced PGM-B 1/4" outputs.

Like other vintage Yamaha M, PM, and MQ series mixers, the PM-430 shines for tracking and summing, delivering loud, punchy mixes with analog character that modern mixers simply can’t match in this price range. Now better suited for modern hybrid setups thanks to the direct-out mods, while still keeping the unmistakable character that made these consoles so special.
