MALAYSIA: Sarawak’s live events scene has just been handed a serious sonic upgrade. In a move that aims to set a new benchmark for technical production standards across the region, Concept Associates KL – Yamaha Professional Audio Malaysia’s elite sales partner – confirms that it has facilitated Techtrio Management Sdn Bhd’s comprehensive investment in Yamaha’s flagship RIVAGE PM5 digital mixing system.

The core of the deployment features two CS-R5 control surfaces, known for packing the immense power and acclaimed sound quality of the RIVAGE PM series into a compact, lightweight 42kg form factor. This portability, combined with the consoles’ three large touchscreens and intuitive operation, enables Techtrio to dramatically reduce load-in and setup times, increasing operational efficiency across their diverse range of projects.

“When evaluating consoles for this major investment, the Yamaha RIVAGE PM5 stood out due to its uncompromising sonic quality and exceptional rider acceptance worldwide,” said Saiful Dibit, Managing Director of Techtrio Management. “We had many options, but the PM5 offers the perfect balance of cutting-edge technology, reliability, and portability required for the diverse and challenging event landscape across East Malaysia. Furthermore, choosing Concept Associates was due to their professional business relationship, technical expertise, and commitment to after-sales service give us the crucial confidence we need to operate systems of this calibre.”

“This deployment is a significant milestone that we are proud to share with Techtrio Management,” added Royce Lee, Sales Director of Concept Associates. “We sincerely thank the Techtrio team for their trust in both the Yamaha platform and in Concept Associates as their longterm technical partner. Our commitment now shifts to ensuring they have full access to our expertise, support, and resources to maximize the PM5’s potential and deliver world-class events.”

The RIVAGE PM system’s native Dante and TWINLANe network compatibility and extensive premium plug-in collection give Techtrio’s engineers unparalleled flexibility and creative control. By providing engineers with a system that is consistent with global touring standards, Techtrio is solidifying its role as a regional leader and attracting high-calibre productions to Borneo.
