The Audinate Dante-MY16-AUD card, updated for main amplifier remote control

Distributed worldwide by Yamaha Commercial Audio, Audinate Dante-MY16-AUD card now supports HA remote control over Dante network, allowing you to control the main amplifiers in the Rio3224-D and Rio1608-D I/O rack units remotely from digital mixing consoles such as the M7CL or LS9.

The Mini-YGDAI Audinate Dante-MY16-AUD interface card sold by Yamaha Commercial Audio has been updated to allow remote control of the main amplifier. The updated version allows the main amplifiers in the Rio3224-D and Rio1608-D I/O rack units to be controlled remotely from digital mixing consoles such as the M7CL or LS9.

The Dante-MY16-AUD card includes Dante technology from Audinate that distributes digital audio with imperceptible latency, Precise sample playback timing and excellent reliability. Dante network audio protocol delivers exceptional core performance with low jitter and latency, while allowing a flexible system to be scaled to accommodate a wide range of applications and capabilities. These capabilities have made Dante a popular choice for live sound installations and applications..

By having a truly digital audio network “plug and play” and automatic configuration that uses standard Internet protocols, Ethernet a 100 Mbps o 1Gbps, Dante-enabled devices will auto-configure, automatically detecting the location and channel number of other devices on the network, which will reduce complicated installation requirements. Dante technology runs on standard network hardware and does not require dedicated network infrastructure. Besides, can use the same Ethernet network to transmit uncompressed audio and also handle normal data traffic.

Another important innovation provided by the Dante-MY16-AUD card is the Dante Virtual Soundcard software. (DVS) of Audinate. Con DVS, A Macintosh or Windows computer acts like any other Dante-enabled device.. Just install DVS and connect your computer using the standard Ethernet port.

Each Dante-MY16-AUD card provides 16 two-way audio channels (eight to 96 kHz) and full Dante network audio redundancy. More cards can be added to increase the number of channels, allowing users of Yamaha products to record up to 48 audio channels 24 bits directly into any recording software (Mac o PC) no need for an audio interface.

Integration with the new Yamaha CL consoles

The collaboration between Yamaha and Audinate began with the development of the Dante-MY16-AUD interface card and this year's launch of Yamaha CL digital mixing consoles has seen the first implementation of Dante as a standard integrated protocol. With this update, the racks of rack I/O Rio3224-D and Rio1608-D, which previously could only be used with the CL series, can now be used with digital mixing consoles such as the M7CL and LS9 that do not have Dante communication capability.

Lee Ellison, CEO of Audinate, has stated: “Now, Yamaha digital consoles equipped with the Audinate Dante-MY16-AUD will gain the ability to use the amplifier control function and will integrate with the new Rio I/O racks. This enhancement further extends the complete Dante networking ecosystem to Yamaha products.”
