Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha MY16-mLAN.
The MY16-mLAN is an interface card that features an mLAN interface. mLAN is a digital
network designed for music and is based on the IEEE1394 high performance serial bus
and data communication protocol. mLAN makes it easy to construct sophisticated networks for IEEE1394 (FireWire/i.LINK) audio and MIDI signals without having to re-configure the cabling, as was necessary in older, conventional systems.
This interface card adds two mLAN connectors to MY16-mLAN compatible devices
such as the 02R96 and 01V96 digital mixing consoles, or the DM2000 and DM1000
digital production consoles.
In order to take full advantage of the MY16-mLAN’s functionality, please read this manual carefully. After reading this manual, please keep it available for future reference.

Fundamentals of mLAN
English
mLAN is a digital network for music that was developed based on IEEE1394, an industry-standard high-performance data communications protocol.
Digital music environments that do not feature mLAN require dozens of cables for various devices and purposes, including MIDI cables and audio cables to route MIDI and
audio signals. If you wish to make changes to such systems, you must physically disconnect and re-connect these cables.
For example, adding another synthesizer to a system requires two MIDI cables and two
or more cables for audio (for stereo equipment). Making the appropriate connections
may require special knowledge of inputs, outputs, stereo settings, and perhaps connector impedance.
5
The larger the system, the more complicated and expensive these connections
become, increasing the likelihood of errors and difficulties. It takes time and effort to
investigate such errors and their underlying causes. You may have already experienced
the unpleasantness of tracking various cables through a spider’s web of connections.
mLAN simplifies cable connections by using only one type of IEEE1394 cable, thus
enabling you to configure extremely sophisticated systems. There is no need to repatch cables to change routings of MIDI and audio signals between mLAN devices.
