both very low latency audio and data transmission. Up to 16 audio input channels and 16
audio output channels can be transmitted to or sent from a Yamaha device to any other
EtherSound™ compatible equipment, over regular CAT5 cables. The AVY16-ES cards
offer full network and/or local control of all channel assignments as well as constant
network status monitoring, making it ideal for live professional audio applications. The
general purpose Serial port allows connection and control of the mixer’s parameters or
