Introduction Thank you for choosing the Yamaha Input Rack Ri8-D/ Output Rack Ro8-D. The Ri8-D is a Dante-compatible input rack equipped with 8 channels analog input. The Ro8-D is a Dante-compatible output rack equipped with 8 channels analog output. To take full advantage of the superior functions and performance offered by the Rig-D/Ro8-D, and to extend the useful life of the product, be sure to read this owners manual carefully before operation. Features Long-distance Dante Network Capability Low-latency, low-jitter audio can be transferred over distances up to 100 meters* between devices via standard Ethernet cables using the Dante network protocol. The Ri8-D/Ro8-D can be used as a general-purpose 1/O box for the Dante network. Supported sampling rates are 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, and 96 kHz. + Maximum practical distance may vary according to the cable used’ Vast variety of layout is available with compact 1U chassis The Ri8-D is dedicated for input rack and the Ro8-D is for output. This enables an installation of rack for an occasion requires input only or output only. Of course, combination with the Rio3224-D/Rio1608-D (input/output rack) is enabled to realize system configuration with higher flexibility. Remotely Controllable Internal Head Amplifiers (Ri8-D only) Internal head amplifier parameters can be remotely controlled from a compatible device. Gain Compensation Function (Ri8-D only) Enabling Gain Compensation feature of the Ri8-D for supporting equipment with gain compensation capability such as CL Series products may compensate change of analog gain in downstream by the compensation gain integrated in the Ri8-D, and it will send the audio signal to Dante network with gain level fixed to a value immediately before it was enabled. Direct Audio In/Out With a Connected Computer Connecting the Ri8-D/Ro8-D with a standard Ethernet cable to a computer that has a Dante Virtual Soundcard installed enables you to directly input or output audio signals without using an audio interface device (the Ri8-D is for input and the Ro8-D is for output only). RiS-D/RoB-D Owners Manual Firmware Updates This product enables you to update the unit firmware to improve operations, add functions, and correct possible malfunctions. The following two types of firmware are available for the unit. + Units firmware + Dante module firmware You must update each type of firmware separately. Details on updating the firmware are available on the following website: http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/ For information on updatingand setting up the unit, please refer to the firmware update guide available on the website. NOTE When you update Dante firmware on the unit, be sure to update Dante firmware on other Dante-compatible devices connected to the Rig-D/Ro8-D. Precautions for Rack Mounting This unit is rated for operation at ambient temperatures ranging from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius. When mounting the unit with other Ri8-D/Ro8-D unit(s) or other device(s) in an EIA standard equipment rack, internal temperatures can exceed the specified upper limit, resulting in impaired performance or failure. When rack mounting the unit, always observe the following requirements to avoid heat buildup: + When mounting the unit in a rack with devices such as power amplifiers that generate a significant amount of heat, leave more than 1U of space between the Ri8-D/Ro8-D and other equipment. Also either leave the open spaces uncovered or install appropriate ventilating panels to minimize the possibility of heat buildup. To ensure sufficient airflow leave the rear ofthe rack open and position it at least 10 centimeters from walls or other surfaces. Ifthe rear of the rack can'tbe left open, install a commercially available fan or similar ventilating option to secure sufficient airflow. If you've installed a fan kit, there may be cases in which closing the rear of the rack will produce a greater cooling effect. Refer to the rack and/or fan unit manual for details.

About Dante This product features Dante technology as a protocol to transmit audio signals. Dante is a network protocol developed by Audinate. It is designed to deliver multi-channel audio signals at various sampling and bit rates, as well as device control signals over a Giga-bit Ethernet (GbE) network. Dante also offers the following benefits: It transmits up to 512 in/512 out, for a total 1024 channels (in theory) of audio over a GbE network. (The Ri8-D features 8 in with a 24/32-bit resolution. The Ro8-D features 8 out with a 24/32-bit resolution.) Dante-enabled devices will automatically configure their network interfaces and find each other on the network. You can label Dante devices and their audio channels with names that make sense to you. Dante uses high accuracy network synchronization standards to achieve sample-accurate playback with extremely low latency and jitter. Four types of latency are available on the Ri8-D/Ro8-D: 0.25 msec, 0.5 msec,

1.0 msec, and 5.0 msec.

Dante supports redundant connections via primary and secondary networks to defend against unforeseen difficulties. Connecting a computer to Dante network over Ethernet enables you to directly input or output audio signals without using any audio interface devices. By taking advantages of these benefits, you can skip any complicated procedures to automate connections and setups of Dante-enabled devices, remotely control 1/0 racks or amplifiers from a mixing console, or make multi-track recordings to a DAW, such as Nuendo, installed on a computer in the network.

Is and Funci Controls and Functions Front Panel O O O (e) O O O O @ INPUT] Connectors 1-8 (Ri8-D only) These are the XLR-3-31 type analog balanced connectors for the input channels. The input level range is from -62 dBu to +10 dBu. +48V phantom power can be supplied to devices that require it via the input connectors. NOTE The PAD will be switched on or off internally when the gain ofthe internal head amp is adjusted between +17 dB and +18 dB. Keep in mind that noise may be generated if there is a difference between the Hot and Cold impedance ofthe external device connected to the INPUT connector when using phantom power. @ OUTPUT +4 dBu Connectors 1-8 (Ro8-D only) These XLR-3-32 type balanced connectors deliver analog output from the units corresponding output channels. Nominal output level is +4 dBu. @) [+48V] Indicators (Ri8-D only) These indicators light when +48V phantom power is turned ON for the corresponding input channels. Phantom power supply switching can be carried out from a compatible digital mixing console or computer application. No phantom power will be supplied, however, if the [+48V MASTER] switch is OFE even ifphantom power to individual channels is turned ON (the +48V indicators will still light). The +48V indicators also function as error indicators: the indicators for all channels will flash if an error occurs. CAUTION: Make sure that phantom power is turned OFF unless it is needed. When tuning phantom power ON, make sure that no equipment other than phantom-powered devices such as condenser microphones are connected to the corresponding [INPUT] connectors. Applying phantom power to a device that does not require phantom power can damage the connected device. + Do not connect or disconnect a device to an INPUT while phantom power is applied. Doing so can damage the connected device and/or the unit itself. To prevent possible damage to speakers, make sure that power ampliiers and/or powered speakers are turned OFF when switching phantom power ON or OFF. We also recommend setting all digital mixing console output RiS-D/RoB-D Owners Manual controls to minimum when turning phantom power ON or OFF.

About Connections There are two ways to connect the Ri8-D/Ro8-D to a Dante network. Daisy Chain Network A daisy chain is a wiring scheme in which multiple devices are connected together in sequence. In this way, networking is simple and requires no network switches. This connection method is suitable for a simple system with a small number of devices. However, if a large number of devices are connected, the latency value must be increased. Also, if a connection is broken in a daisy chain network, the signal flow is interrupted at that point and no signal will be transferred beyond that point.

RiS-D/RoB-D Owners Manual Star Network In a star network, each device is connected to a central network switch. Using a GbE-compatible network switch enables you to configure a wide-band, large-scale network. We recommend a network switch that features various functions to control and monitor the network (such as Qos, the ability to assign priority to data flows - e.g,, clock synchronization or audio transmission on certain data circuits.) With this topology, it is common to configure a redundant network so that an unexpected network problem will not affect any audio or otherwise stable communications. About Redundant Networks A redundant network consists of two circuits, a primary circuit and a secondary circuit. Normally, the network operates on the primary circuit. However, if the primary connection is broken, the secondary circuit will automatically take over communications. Therefore, using a redundant network with a star topology would increase communication stability relative to a daisy chain network.

If you plan to connect a device that features Ri8-D-native support to monitor and control the head amplifiers, refer to the owners manual for the corresponding device. Control from a Device That Does Not Feature Ri8-D-Native Support This section explains how to configure the Ri8-D settings that are required to control the Ri8-D as AD8HR units from a device that does not feature Ri8-D-native support. NOTE The following Yamaha non-Ri8-D-native devices enable you to control the Ri8-D as AD8HRSs. Insert the Dante-MY16-AUD card which is a firmware controllable as AD8HR into the Mini-YGDAI slot for connection. M7CL, LS9, DM1000, DM2000, PM5D/DSP5D,

Setting the DIP Switches While the power to the unit is off, flip DIP switch 5 down and DIP switch 6 up.

RiS-D/RoB-D Owners Manual Setting the UNIT ID Setting the Ris-D in [AD8HR] will set UNIT ID as virtual ID (as AD8HR Device ID). If you combine Rio3224-D or Rio1608-D or add an AD8HR or SB168-ES in the network, make sure that the IDs are all unique. Set the Ri8-D correctly so that you can control it as ADSHRS. In addition, scene recall can be used to recall all head amplifier settings at once. Refer to the digital mixing console owners manual for details on head amplifier control. Head Amplifier Parameters That Can be Monitored and Controlled Parameter Description Tums +48V phantom power ON or +48v OFF for each channel. HA GAIN Adjusts gain from -6 dB to 66 dB in 1-dB increments. Tus the high-pass filter ON or HPE OFF. Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the HPF FREQ high-pass filter (12 dB/Oct.) from 20 Hz to 600 Hz in 60 steps. METER Displays a level meter for each {Rig-D-native device only) | input channel. It displays Device ID 1-F (Device ID as AD8HR) assigned based on the UNIT ID. Device ID Displays the [+48V MASTER] switch ON/OFF status of the +48V phantom power supply. +48V Master SW Gain Compensation Turns the Gain Compensation ON (Rig-D-native device only) | or OFF.

Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Symptom Cause Possible Solution The power won't turn on. The power indicator doesn't light. The power cable is connected improperly. Connect the power cable properly (see page 18). The [POWER] switch is not turned ON. Turn the [POWER] switch ON. If the power still will not come on, refer the problem to your Yamaha dealer. The unit is not receiving an input sig- nal. The input cables are not connected properly. Connect the cables properly. No signal is output from external devices. Output a signal from the source device and make sure that the SIG indicators on the appro- priate channels will light. The internal head amplifier gain is not set to an appropriate level. Set the internal head amplifier gain to an appro- priate level. The DIP switches are set to REFRESH, but the Ri8-D-native device has not started up. Start the Ri8-D-native device to send the setting to the Ri8-D. The input level is too low. A condenser microphone is connected Turn the [+48V MASTER] switch ON. Turn phantom power for the corresponding channel(s) ON from the Ri8-D-native device. The internal head amplifier gain is not set to an appropriate level. Set the internal head amplifier gain to an appro- priate level. No sound is heard The cables are not connected properly. Connect the cables properly. The DIP switches are set to REFRESH, but the Ro8-D-native device has not started up. Start the Ro8-D-native device to send the set- ting to the Ro8-D. Output is muted. Unmute the output on the Ro8-D-native device. The head amp cannot be controlled. The Ri8-D has not been mounted on the RACK of the Ri8-D-native device. Mount the Ri8-D on the RACK of the Ri8-D-native device. Adjusting the internal head amp gain does not change the audio level. The Gain Compensation function is turned on. If you are not using the Gain Compensation function, turn it of. Adjustment of the [UNIT ID] rotary switch or DIP switch settings seems to be ineffective. You may have adjusted the setting while the power is ON. Turn the power OFF, then change the setting. RiS-D/ROB-D Ovwner's Manual
