CL1 Firmware

About the Yamaha CL

CL1, CL3 and CL5 launched in 2012 with Dante networking built in, and did more than any other console to make audio-over-IP the default assumption for new installations. They share an engine and a firmware train with QL, and the console firmware version must be matched to the CL Editor software version.

How Yamaha ships firmware

Yamaha ships firmware per model family and versions the editor software alongside it — a CL running V5 firmware needs a matching CL Editor. The archive keeps the full version history so you can pair them correctly, or roll back if a venue's show files were built on an earlier release.

Verifying what you download

Every Yamaha CL1 file in this archive lists the SHA-256 checksum recorded the moment we mirrored it, plus a link to the original Yamaha source URL. Before loading firmware onto a console, run shasum -a 256 <file> (macOS/Linux) or certutil -hashfile <file> SHA256 (Windows) and compare it to the value in the table above. If they differ, do not load the file. More on how this archive verifies files →
