Yamaha RIO1608-D2 16-Input, 8-Output Dante Stage Box Delivering High-Quality Remote I/O with D-PRE Microphone Preamps, Low-Latency Dante Network Audio, and Seamless Integration with Yamaha TF and CL/QL Series Digital Consoles for Professional Live Sound and Installed Sound Applications
The Yamaha RIO1608-D2 is a professional 16-input, 8-output Dante stage box designed for live sound engineers and installed sound integrators who require high-quality remote analogue I/O connected to a digital mixing console over standard Ethernet via the Dante audio networking protocol. Featuring 16 channels of Yamaha D-PRE discrete class-A microphone preamps for exceptional analogue input quality at the stage, 8 balanced analogue outputs for monitor feeds and amplifier connections, and dual redundant Dante network connections for fail-safe operation in professional touring and installation environments, the RIO1608-D2 is the ideal remote I/O companion for Yamaha TF Series, CL Series, and QL Series digital consoles — eliminating the need for long analogue multicore cable runs between stage and front-of-house.
Key Features
- 16 Analogue Inputs with D-PRE Preamps — Sixteen balanced XLR analogue inputs with Yamaha D-PRE discrete class-A microphone preamps delivering transparent, low-noise preamp performance at the stage for the highest-quality signal capture at source
- 8 Analogue Outputs — Eight balanced XLR analogue outputs for stage monitor sends, amplifier feeds, and other analogue destination connections from the stage box location
- Dante Network Audio — High-channel-count, low-latency Dante audio networking over standard Gigabit Ethernet, replacing long analogue multicore cable runs with a single Cat5e/Cat6 network cable between stage and FOH
- Dual Redundant Dante Connections — Two independent Dante network ports for primary and redundant network connections, ensuring fail-safe operation in critical live sound and installed sound environments
- +48V Phantom Power — Switchable phantom power on all XLR inputs for condenser microphones
- Yamaha TF / CL / QL Series Compatible — Designed for seamless plug-and-play integration with Yamaha TF Series, CL Series, and QL Series digital mixing consoles for a complete Yamaha digital audio ecosystem
- Compact 1U Rack-Mount Chassis — Space-efficient 1U rack-mount form factor for clean integration in stage racks and equipment cases
- Remote Control via Console — Full remote control of preamp gain and phantom power from the connected Yamaha digital console for convenient front-of-house operation
