22live confirmed as a Yamaha Rivage Dealer
June 9th 2025
22live the UK’s next generation pro-audio service provider, has now been confirmed as a Yamaha Rivage dealer to cover the full range of PM consoles, DSP Engines and Stage racks.
22live also today announce their first Yamaha Rivage training day which will be hosted at their Redditch HQ on August 14th 2025. If you would like to book your place please contact the team via info@22live.com.
22live was appointed as a Yamaha Pro-Audio dealer in early 2023 announcing its arrival alongside the launch of the DM7 series consoles. Yamaha DM has gone on to be a key product for the company’s resale and rental activities becoming a staple to 22live and its client base.
Following this success 22live also made a further commitment to Yamaha in 2024, through an initial investment in the Yamaha Rivage PM5, DSP-RX Engine and RPIO stage rack.
Post delivery of the first system 22live have enjoyed a busy schedule for the package with it being utilised for FOH duties on UB40’s autumn arena tour, and since then being deployed as the FOH console on Limp Bizkit’s Spring arena tour, amongst other smaller jobs.

Yamaha’s Pro Audio division were keen to work with 22live as a dealer, following the successes we had already shared through resale of DM consoles specifically. Tom Blood, Yamaha Business Development Manager comments, “We had already shared successes working with 22live on DM7, and we really saw the value add that they can bring to customers as an experienced partner with a technical capability as well as both the contacts and reputation they bring as both a reseller and rental partner, so partnering with them to become a PM Dealer was an easy decision for us to take.”

In 2025 22live has continued its commitment to the Yamaha Rivage PM Series with a further investment into a second PM5/DSP-RX/RPIO system. This acquisition provided all that was required to progress the company’s position to a Yamaha Premium partner, ensuring that demo capability and stock would generally be available to potential Rivage customers.
Alex Penn concludes “We really think that the Yamaha PM Series is yet to have its day in the UK market. The launch of the PM3 and PM5 were compromised in 2021 by the Pandemic, and then post-pandemic they were unavailable due to the component shortages experienced by pretty much all manufacturers globally. The PM Series has already made progress to becoming a key product to the rental world and has reached a larger market in the USA. We have had great successes already with PM consoles and we look forward to developing more opportunities for them in the UK marketplace as a Yamaha partner.”
Yamaha Rivage now joins a small but premium group of brands that 22live are able to represent officially including DPA Microphones, KLVR, Rational Acoustics, Shure, Sennheiser, SSL and Martin Audio. If you require more information about Yamaha Rivage or any of the other brands mentioned please get in touch.
