• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device. The required voltage is
printed on the name plate of the device.
• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
If you intend to use the device in an area other than in the one you purchased,
the included power cord may not be compatible. Please check with your Yamaha
dealer.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.
• Be sure to connect to an appropriate outlet with a protective grounding
connection. Improper grounding can result in electrical shock.
• This device contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the device or
attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. If it should
appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions,
or place on it any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses) containing
liquids which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps
into the device, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from
the AC outlet. Then have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service
personnel.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall

CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• When removing the electric plug from the device or an outlet, always hold the
plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is not to be used for
extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall
over.
• Do not place the device in a location where it may come into contact with
corrosive gases or salt air. Doing so may result in malfunction.
• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.
• When setting up the device, make sure that the rear-panel power switch can be
easily turned ON/OFF. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn
off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet.
• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all devices.
Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to
minimum.
PA_en_1 1/1
• Remove the power plug from the AC outlet when cleaning the device.
• Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on the device
(vents, disc slots, ports, etc.).
• Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into any
gaps or openings on the device (vents, disc slots, ports, etc.) If this happens,
turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
Then have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it, and avoid use
excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not use the headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable
volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience
any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the
product, damage to data, or damage to other property,
follow the notices below.
Handling and Maintenance
• Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo
equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices.
Otherwise, the device, TV, or radio may generate noise.
• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibration, or
extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a
heater, or in a car during the day), in order to prevent the
possibility of panel disfiguration, unstable operation, or
damage to the internal components.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the device,
since this might discolor the panel.
• When cleaning the device, use a dry and soft cloth. Do not
use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemicalimpregnated wiping cloths.
• Condensation can occur in the device due to rapid, drastic
changes in ambient temperature — when the device is
moved from one location to another, or air conditioning is
turned on or off, for example. Using the device while
condensation is present can cause damage. If there is
reason to believe that condensation might have occurred,
leave the device for several hours without turning on the
power until the condensation has completely dried out.
• Never use a sharp or pointed object such as your
fingernail to operate the touch screen. Doing so may
scratch the screen and render the touch screen
inoperable.
• Always turn the power off when the device is not in use.

Introduction
Introduction
A Message from the Development Team
Thank you for choosing a Nuage series Nuage Master
unit.
The Nuage series is a professional music and sound
production system based around Steinberg Nuendo
digital audio workstation software.
Over the 20 years that have elapsed since Yamaha began
offering DM and O series digital consoles and other
equipment for post production and music production,
work schedules have become notably tighter with less
time available for individual projects. The Nuage series
was created to respond to the deadline crunch with an
optimized working environment that provides
unprecedented efficiency as well as final quality.
The core of the system is Steinberg Nuendo, a DAW that
is acclaimed for its outstanding workflow efficiency and
sonic quality. The Nuage Master (Ncs500-CT control
surface) and Nuage Fader (Ncs500-FD control surface)
units were specifically developed to support and enhance
Nuendo operability. Nuage Master provides a
comprehensive concentration of post production controls
in an efficient, easy-access layout. Nuage Fader
integrates seamlessly with the Nuendo mixer window,
providing an intuitive hands-on extension to the software.
Thanks to experience with the DM and O series, intensive
research, and invaluable feedback from our users, it is our
great pleasure to be able to deliver a new level of
production support in the Nuage series. Our technology is
there to give you unrestricted creative freedom, and we
sincerely hope that the Nuage series plays a role in your
growth and continued success.
The Yamaha Nuage series development team.

Items to Have Ready
And then there’s the sound. Nuage I/O audio interface
units have been designed to deliver the superior Nuendo
sound without compromise. Three models are currently
available: the Nio500-D16 with 16 channels of AES/EBU
input and output, the Nio500-A16 with 16 channels of
analog input and output, and the Nio500-A8D8 with a
combination of 8 channels of analog and 8 channels of
AES/EBU input and output. The Nuage I/O units connect
to computers running Nuendo via the highly expandable
Dante digital audio protocol, allowing multiple Nuage I/O
units to be flexibly incorporated in a wide variety of system
configurations. Monitoring latency is near zero for
comfortable, stress-free monitoring while recording, even
when multiple I/O units are used with cascaded monitor
buses. The development team was adamant that nearzero latency would be essential to allow musicians and
artists to deliver their full creative and performance
potential.
Stability and dependability are essential in any
professional working environment. In addition to
minimizing latency, the Dante Accelerator (AIC128-D
audio interface card) used in conjunction with the Nuage
I/O units offers stable, reliable communication between I/
O units and computer while allowing fast recovery from
any problems that do arise. You can concentrate on the
job at hand, secure in the knowledge that you’ll be able to
deliver great results on time.
• Computer
Running on Windows or Mac. Make sure to install Nuendo
to your computer beforehand.
•Network Switch
A network switch that features various functions for
controlling and monitoring the network (such as QoS, the
ability to assign priority to data flows — e.g., clock
synchronization or audio transmission on certain data
circuits — and IGMP Snooping, the ability to filter
unnecessary multi-cast traffic) is recommended.
•Ethernet Cable
A straight type (STP) of CAT5e or better is recommended.
• Nuendo
Nuendo is a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software
developed by Steinberg. Version 6 or higher of Nuendo is
compatible with the Nuage series.
•TOOLS for NUAGE
TOOLS for NUAGE is a software program which is
necessary when connecting the device to a computer.
When you install TOOLS for NUAGE, NUAGE Workgroup
Manager, NUAGE Extension, and NUAGE PT Bridge (Mac
only) will be installed. NUAGE Workgroup Manager is an
application that allows control over the devices and DAW
