Introduction
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Yamaha
Rio3224-D2/Rio1608-D2 I/O Rack. This product is a
Dante-compatible I/O rack for use in a mixing system. The
Rio3224-D2 is an I/O rack featuring 32 channels of analog
input, 16 channels of analog output, and 8 channels of
AES/EBU output. The Rio1608-D2 is an I/O rack featuring
16 channels of analog input and 8 channels of analog
output. This manual explains the settings and
troubleshooting that a mixing engineer or operator will
perform when setting up or preparing the mixing system.
In order to take full advantage of this product’s
functionality, be sure to read this owner’s manual before
use. After reading the manual, keep it for future reference.
NOTE
• Where specifications for the Rio3224-D2 differ from the
Rio1608-D2, this manual places specifications that apply
only to the Rio1608-D2 in curly brackets { } (e.g., [INPUT]
connectors 1-32 {1-16}).
• Unless otherwise noted, illustrations for the Rio3224-D2
are used.
• If certain specifications are common to both the
Rio3224-D2 and Rio1608-D2, both units are collectively
called “Rio.”
Gain Compensation Function
If the Gain Compensation function of the
Rio3224-D2/Rio1608-D2 is enabled from a supported
device (such as a RIVAGE, CL, or QL series unit), the
subsequent fluctuations in analog gain will be
compensated for by the internal digital gain of the
Rio3224-D2/Rio1608-D2, and the audio signal will be
output to the Dante network at the gain level that was fixed
immediately before the Gain Compensation function was
enabled. This means that, for example, if the same inputs
are shared by FOH and monitor, changing the FOH gain
will not affect the monitor mix balance.
Two Internal Power Supply Units
Duplicate power supplies allow continued operation even
in the unlikely event that one power supply experiences a
problem.
Quietness
Noise-reduction measures for the fans provide greater
silence.
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 Rio
can be used as a general-purpose I/O box for the Dante
network. Supported sampling rates are 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz,
88.2 kHz, and 96 kHz.
This unit supports the AES67 standard for audio
networking interoperability, and allows audio connections
via AES67 with various compatible audio networks.
* Maximum practical distance may vary according to the cable used.

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 Rio 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:
• If three or more Rio units are mounted without
space in the same rack, set the fan speeds to HIGH.
• If multiple units are mounted in the same rack with
their fan speeds set to LOW, leave a 1U rack space
between every two units. Also either leave the open
spaces uncovered or install appropriate ventilating
panels to minimize the possibility of 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 Rio 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 of the rack
open and position it at least 10 centimeters from
walls or other surfaces. If the rear of the rack can’t be
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.
Recessed Installation
If you want to recess the front panel surface of the device
from the front edge of the rack, you can adjust the position
of the rack mount br acket s to rec ess the d evice by 50mm or
100mm, as shown in the illustration below.
About Dante
Dante is a network audio protocol developed by the
Audinate. Within a Giga-bit Ethernet (GbE), Dante
delivers multi-channel audio signals at various sampling
frequencies and bit rates, as well as device control signals.
Visit the Audinate website for more details on Dante.
http://www.audinate.com/
More information on Dante is also posted on the Yamaha
Pro Audio website:

This product uses Dante Brooklyn2.
Refer to the Audinate website (English) for details on the
open‐source licenses for the particular software.
https://www.audinate.com/software-licensing
Caution when using a network
switch
Please do not use the EEE function (*) of network switches
in a Dante network.
Although power management should be negotiated
automatically in switches that support EEE, some switches
do not perform the negotiation properly.
This may cause EEE to be enabled in Dante networks when
it is not appropriate, resulting in poor synchronization
performance and occasional dropouts.
Therefore we strongly recommend the following:
• When using a managed switch, turn off the EEE function
of all ports used by Dante. Do not use a switch that is
unable to turn off the EEE function.
• If using an unmanaged switch, do not use a switch that
supports the EEE function. Such switches are unable to
turn off the EEE function.
* EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is a technology that reduces switch
power consumption during periods of low network traffic. It is also
known as Green Ethernet or IEEE802.3az.
In the same way, ra ck mount hardware can als o be attac hed
to the rear panel surface.
NOTE
When you install the brackets, use the same screws that
you just removed.

1 [INPUT] Connectors 1–32 {1–16}
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.
2 [+48V] Indicators
These indicators light when +48V phantom power is
turned ON for the corresponding input channels.
On/off switching is controlled from this unit’s front
panel display, or from a compatible digital mixer. No
phantom power will be supplied, however, if the
[+48V MASTER] switch is OFF, even if phantom
power to individual channels is turned ON (the +48V
indicators will flash). If a serious error occurs in this
unit, the indicators of all channels will light or flash.
CAUTIONS:
• If phantom power is not required, you must turn OFF the
+48V MASTER switch or the phantom power setting.
• When turning phantom power ON, make sure that no
equipment other than phantom-powered devices such as
condenser microphones are connected to the

page 25) for more information on daisy chain
connections.
If the SETUP menu SECONDARY PORT parameter
is set to REDUNDANT in the display, the
[PRIMARY] port is for the primary connection and
the [SECONDARY] port is for the secondary
(backup) connection. If the unit is unable to transmit
signals through the [PRIMARY] connector for some
reason (e.g., due to damage or accidental removal of
the cable, or a failed network switch), the
[SECONDARY] connector will automatically take
over the connection. Refer to “About Redundant
Networks” in the “About Connections” section (see
page 25) for more information on redundant
networks.
NOTE
• The use of Ethernet cables with Neutrik etherCON CAT5e
compatible RJ45 plugs is recommended. Standard RJ45
plugs can also be used.
• Use STP (shielded twisted pair) cable to prevent
electromagnetic interference. Make sure that the metal
parts of the plugs are electrically connected to the STP
cable shield by conductive tape or comparable means.
• Connect only Dante-compatible devices or
GbE-compatible devices (including a computer).
D [LINK/ACT] Indicators
These indicators show the communication status of
the [PRIMARY] and [SECONDARY] connectors.
They flash fast if the Ethernet cables are connected
properly.
E [1G] Indicators
These indicators light when the Dante network is
functioning as Giga-bit Ethernet.
F DIP switches
These are for expanding the functionality in the
future. At present, no functions are assigned to these
DIP switches.
G AC IN Connector
Connect the supplied AC power cord here. First,
connect the power cord to the device, then insert the
power cord plug into the AC outlet.
The supplied power cord features a special latching
mechanism (V-LOCK) to prevent the power cord
from being accidentally disconnected. Connect the
power cord by inserting the power cord fully until it is
locked.
CAUTION:
Be sure to turn the power off before connecting or
disconnecting the power cord.
Press the latch button on the
plug to disconnect the power
cord.

About Connections
There are two ways to connect the Rio to a Dante network.
NOTE
A daisy chain connection is suitable for a simple system
with a small number of devices.
Use a star network if a large number of devices are
connected.
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.
If you connect a large number of devices, you must set a
higher latency value to avoid skipping audio that could be
caused by an increased delay in signal transfer among the
devices. 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.
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.

Head Amp Control
Dante Network Settings and
Audio Routing
The audio inputs and outputs of multiple Dante devices can
be freely routed within a Dante network. This means that
you need to make settings that specify the destination to
which each channel’s signal will be sent.
Use Dante Controller to specify the Dante network and
audio routing settings.
Dante Controller can be downloaded from the following
website.
https://www.yamaha.com/proaudio/
For details on Dante Controller, refer to the Dante
Controller owner’s manual on the same website.
Head Amp Control
The Rio head amplifiers can be remotely controlled from a
host device, such as a compatible Yamaha digital mixing
console.
Control from an Rio2-native
Device
The Rio head amplifiers can be controlled remotely from
an Rio2-native device such as a RIVAGE, CL, QL, or TF
series product.
The connected Rio2-native device displays the model
name and UNIT ID number of the corresponding Rio unit
to be controlled.
