Yamaha Rio1608-D3 I/O Rack
The Yamaha Rio1608-D3 is a Dante I/O rack with 16 analog inputs and 8 analog outputs, built to extend a Yamaha digital mixer or processor over a network.
It is the smaller of Yamaha’s third-generation Rio racks and works with their RIVAGE PM, DM7, CL, and QL consoles. Input gain, delay, and other settings can be set on the unit’s own display and controls. Gain Compensation adjusts gain at the digital stage when separate consoles share the rack, so one operator’s analog gain change does not upset another’s mix.
A headphone socket on the rack lets you check input and output audio locally. It can also carry two Dante receive channels, which gives the engineer a direct line to the headphones. Outputs have delay, polarity, and level control, and a network port apart from the Dante network handles monitoring and device control. Compared with the D2 racks, noise is lower, dynamic range is wider, and a redesigned airflow makes the fan quieter. Dual power supplies keep the rack running if one power source fails.
