The Yamaha DANTE-MY16-AUD is a fully compatible Mini-YGDAI standard card. It instantly enables Dante connectivity for your Yamaha mixer, processor, or power amp. This card offers 16 bidirectional audio channels (8 at 96 kHz) and full Dante network audio redundancy over Gigabit Ethernet. Key features include a 24-bit resolution, 16-in/16-out Dante interface (8-in/8-out at 96kHz), 2x RJ-45 connectors for Dante I/O, and 1x D-sub 9-pin connector for RS232-C. You can select latency from four preset values: 0.15 ms, 0.5 ms, 1.0 ms, or 5.0 ms. When used with a standard network switch, it can transfer more than 16 audio channels. Network devices are automatically discovered and set up, and you can specify device names as needed. It allows direct PC or Mac audio input and output without an audio interface. Technical specs: 16IN / 16OUT channels, 48kHz and 96kHz sampling frequency, 24-bit sample bit-depth, 2 x Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 connectors, glitch-free Dante audio redundancy with dual Ethernet networks, HA Remote support on compatible Yamaha products, expandable up to four cards for 64 bidirectional channels, and an on-board VCXO clock for synchronization with the Dante network.
Using the Yamaha DANTE-MY16-AUD is quite straightforward. First, install the card in an available Mini-YGDAI-compatible slot on your Yamaha mixer, processor, or power amp. Connect it to your network using the 2x RJ-45 connectors for Dante I/O and the D-sub 9-pin connector for RS232-C if needed. The card will automatically discover and set up network devices, but you can also specify device names as you like. When it comes to audio input and output, you can directly connect your PC or Mac without the need for an extra audio interface. Remember, if you want to use the HA Remote function, make sure both the Dante-MY16-AUD is at version V3.3.9.2 or newer and the Dante Controller is at version V3.2.9 or newer. For maintenance, keep the card in a clean and dry environment. Regularly check the connections to ensure they are secure. If you need to expand your audio channels, you can install up to four of these cards for more audio capabilities.
