Dante-MY16-AUD & R series HA Remote Control Guide 3rd Edition: August 2013
Yamaha Commercial Audio Dante-MY16-AUD HA Remote Control Guide This guide describes the examples and setting procedures of a system where you remote-control the head amplifier (hereafter called the HA) of an I/O rack (Rio3224-D, Rio1608-D, Ri8-D, etc.) connected with the Dante audio network, via the Dante-MY16-AUD card inserted in a slot in a Yamaha digital mixer (PM5D, M7CL, LS9, etc.).
Yamaha Commercial Audio Dante-MY16-AUD HA Remote Control Guide System Examples LS9 system example When inserting the Dante-MY16-AUD card into your LS9, you can remotecontrol the HA of an I/O rack on the Dante network from the LS9, with just a simple network connection. From the LS9, each Rio1608-D is recognized and controlled as two units of AD8HR (one unit for the Ri8-D). Please ensure that the card bridging an HA control signal is always inserted into slot 1 (for the LS9-32).
Yamaha Commercial Audio Dante-MY16-AUD HA Remote Control Guide Multiple console system example You can also connect multiple consoles onto the Dante network to share an I/O rack. In this case, although an audio signal can be distributed to multiple consoles from the same I/O rack by patching with the Dante Controller, the HA can only be controlled from one of the consoles. In the following example, the HA is controlled from the PM5D only, and the CL5 only shares an audio signal.
Yamaha Commercial Audio Dante-MY16-AUD HA Remote Control Guide When the HA is controlled from the CL series, gain of the signal passing through the network can be kept constant by the Gain Compensation function. That is, in the example below, even if the HA gain is changed from the CL series, the level of the audio signal to be input to the PM5D will not fluctuate. When the HA is controlled from other consoles, the R series is operated in AD8HR mode; therefore, the Gain Compensation function cannot be used.

Yamaha Commercial Audio Dante-MY16-AUD HA Remote Control Guide Connections for HA Control There are three types of the connections for HA remote control and bridge settings via the Dante-MY16-AUD card, as shown below. By default, no bridge is active (Mode 4); therefore, you need to set it with the Dante Controller software (cf. page 11). Mode 1 An HA control signal is bridged between slot 1 (in the host equipment) and the REMOTE terminal on the card (not bridged to the Dante network).

Yamaha Commercial Audio Dante-MY16-AUD HA Remote Control Guide Settings for the Digital Mixer On the digital mixer, configure the same settings as those for remotecontrolling other external HA equipment. For details, please also refer to the Owner’s Manual of the applicable digital mixer. WORD CLOCK Settings There are three possibilities for configuring the word clock settings of the system: • Use Dante as the master clock. This is the best option when there are multiple consoles in one network.
