Yamaha Tio1608-D2 16 x 8 Dante-Equipped 96kHz I/O Rack

The Tio1608-D2 is a Dante-compatible I/O rack equipped with 16 mic/line inputs and 8 line outputs. It can control gain from TF Series and DM3 consoles remotely, allowing the construction of a simple stagebox system. The versatile Tio1608-D2 also supports 96k, making it perfect for use as an I/O rack in large installations with products such as the RIVAGE PM or DME7.

The Tio1608-D2 is the ideal stagebox for use with TF Series or DM3. The TF Series can use the optional NY64-D expansion card to connect to up to three Tio1608-D2 units, while DM3 can connect to a single unit. Connecting the console and Tio1608-D2 unites with a lightweight, durable CAT5e Ethernet cable in a daisy chain provides low-latency, high quality sound transmission without the time-consuming transport and installation required when using analog snakes.
