About Dante
The XMV8280-D/XMV8140-D units feature Dante technology
as a protocol to transmit audio signals. Dante is a network protocol developed by Audinate. It is designed to deliver multichannel 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
(theoretically) of audio over a GbE network.
(The XMV8280-D/XMV8140-D features eight inputs 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 XMV8280-D/
XMV8140-D: 0.25 msec, 0.5 msec, 1.0 msec, and 5.0 msec.)
• Dante supports redundant connections via primary and secondary circuits to defend against unforeseen difficulties.
• Connecting a Dante-enabled device to a computer over
Ethernet enables you to directly input or output audio signals
without using any audio interface devices.
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 XMV 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 XMV
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, le
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.

NOTE
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 perfor-
mance and occasional dropouts.
Therefore we strongly recommend that:
- If you use managed switches, ensure that they allow EEE to
be disabled. Make sure that EEE is disabled on all ports
used for real-time Dante traffic.
- If you use unmanaged switches, make sure to not use net-
work switches that support the EEE function, since EEE
operation cannot be disabled in these switches.
* 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 and IEEE802.3az.
Turns power to the unit ON or OFF. Setting the switch to the
upward position turns the power on; the [POWER] indicator
!0 will light green. Setting the switch to the downward position turns the power off. If the switch is in the upward position and the [POWER] indicator is flashing, the unit is in
standby mode.
CAUTION
• To ensure that high-volume noise is not output from
the speakers, power-on the equipment starting with
the audio sources, then the mixer and processors
(such as the MTX), and finally the amplifiers. Reverse
this order when turning the system off.
• Rapidly turning the power switch ON and OFF in suc-
cession can cause the unit to malfunction. After turning the power switch OFF, wait for about 5 seconds
before turning it ON again.
• If you modified parameter settings, do not turn the
power switch OFF for at least one second. Otherwise,
the changes to the settings may be lost.
• Even when the power switch is turned off, a small
amount of current is flowing through the unit. If you
plan not to use the unit for a long period of time,
remove the power cable from the AC outlet.
w [PROTECTION] A–H indicators
When the protection system is active, the indicator will light
orange. If the audio output is muted, turn off the power and
wait for the XMV to cool before turning the power on again.
The protection circuit will operate and the [PROTECTION]
indicator will light in the following situations.
If the amplifier overheats and the output limiter operates
The speaker output will be attenuated if the heat sink of
the amplifier section exceeds 80°C, and will be muted if
the heat sink exceeds 90°C. The [PROTECTION] indicator will light at 80°C or higher.
If the power supply overheats and shuts-down
The fan will rotate at high speed if the power supply section exceeds 90°C, and the analog circuits will shut down
if it exceeds 100°C.
The [PROTECTION] indicator will light at 100°C or
higher.
If for any reason the impedance falls below the specification for the mode, the speaker output is muted to prevent
overcurrent; muting will be cancelled after approximately
one second. If overcurrent is detected after muting is cancelled, the output will be muted again.
If DC output is detected
The power supply section will be shut down.
If excessive total current or maximum current
is detected
The output signal will be lowered.
e [LIMIT] A–H indicators
When the limiter operates, the speaker output will be limited
and the indicator will light red. Lower the attenuator value so
that the limiter does not activate, referring to “Changing the
attenuator setting” (page 20). The limiter will operate in the
following situations.
• When an instantaneous input overload is detected
• When an input overload has been occurring for a specific
duration
• When the heat sink of the amplifier section exceeds the
allowable temperature

This will light green when the [YDIF] connector @0 is connected normally and a valid word clock is being input.
These show the communication status of the Dante [PRIMARY]/[SECONDARY] connectors @1. They flash rapidly
in green if the Ethernet cables are connected properly.
!5 [SYNC] Indicators
(XMV8280-D/XMV8140-D only)
These show the operating status of the Dante network. If the
green (upper) indicator lights, the unit is operating as a word
clock slave and synchronizing to the word clock. If the green
indicator flashes, the unit is operating as the word clock master. If the power to the unit is turned on but the green indicator is turned off, the unit is not functioning properly. In this
case, refer to the “Warning Messages” section (see page 29).
If the orange indicator lights or flashes, refer to the “Warning
Messages” section.
!6 [PANEL LOCK] indicator
This lights or flashes according to the state of the front panel
lock. To specify the front panel lock setting, use the Device
setup DIP switch @3.

Controls and Functions
!7 [FUNCTION] button
Use this to check or change the operating mode of the
XMV’s front panel. For details on how to perform front
panel operations, refer to “Front Panel Operations” (page
23).
!8 Cooling vent
Located behind the vent is a variable speed cooling fan that
draws air in from the front and exhausts it through the rear.
The fan speed will automatically vary according to the temperature.
Please be sure that you do not block the air intakes or
exhaust vents. You should also clean the air intakes and
exhaust vents regularly. If the air intakes are clogged with
dust or debris, the unit will overheat, which may result in the
unit shutting down.
This is a 100BASE-TX Ethernet connector that allows the
unit to be connected to a computer via an Ethernet cable.
NOTE
• Use a CAT5e or better STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable
for the network connection to prevent electromagnetic
interference.
• When using MTX-MRX Editor to control the XMV, you
must connect the MTX.
@0 [YDIF] connectors (XMV8280/XMV8140 only)
These are RJ-45 connectors that allow the unit to be connected via an Ethernet cable to another YDIF-equipped
device so that audio signals and word clock signals can be
transmitted and received. Using a ring connection (YDIF
connection), you can connect to other devices equipped with
a [YDIF] connector. For details on settings for receiving
audio signals via the [YDIF] connector, refer to “Front Panel
Operations” (page 23).
Cables used for this connection should be 30 meters or less
between devices. Up to eight devices can be connected in a
network with YDIF connection.
For information on connections that use [YDIF] connectors,
refer to the “MTX Setup Manual.”
NOTE
To prevent electromagnetic interference, make connections
to the [YDIF] connector using a CAT5e or better STP
(Shielded Twisted Pair) cable in which all pins are con-
nected with a straight connection.
These are RJ-45 connectors that allow the unit to be connected to another Dante device such as the MTX5-D via an
Ethernet cable. The Dante [PRIMARY] connector can also
be used to connect to a computer via an Ethernet cable. To
connect, refer to the “MTX-MRX Editor User’s Manual.”
NOTE
• Use a CAT5e or better STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable
for the connection to the Dante [PRIMARY]/[SECONDARY] connectors 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-compati-ble devices (including a computer).
• Since Dante-compatible equipment made by Yamaha
such as the XMV8280-D/XMV8140-D contains a built’-in
network switch, the number of hops will be two or more.
For this reason, the 0.15 msec Latency setting in Dante
Controller will be grayed-out and unavailable.
@2 [UNIT ID] rotary switch
If multiple devices such as XMVs or MTXs are connected
on the same network, this rotary switch enables you to specify the UNIT ID that identifies each unit individually.
@3 Device setup DIP switch
This DIP switch is used to make settings for the XMV. Refer
to the following for details on the settings.
NOTE
To change the switch settings, turn off the power to the unit.
If you change the settings while the power is on, the change
will not be effective until you turn the unit off and then on.
Refer to the following for details.
