QL5 Firmware

About the Yamaha QL

QL1 and QL5, from 2014, bring the CL engine and Dante integration into a smaller frame aimed at corporate AV, houses of worship and mid-sized venues. They add features CL does not have — notably the Dan Dugan automatic mixer — and are updated on the same schedule as the CL series.

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 QL5 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 →
