Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Yamaha Input Rack Ri8-D/
Output Rack Ro8-D.
The Ri8-D is a Dante-compatible input rack equipped with
8 channels analog input. The Ro8-D is a Dante-compatible
output rack equipped with 8 channels analog output.
To take full advantage of the superior functions and
performance offered by the Ri8-D/Ro8-D, and to extend
the useful life of the product, be sure to read this owner’s
manual carefully before operation.
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
Ri8-D/Ro8-D 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.
* Maximum practical distance may vary according to the cable used.
Vast variety of layout is available with
compact 1U chassis
The Ri8-D is dedicated for input rack and the Ro8-D is for
output. This enables an installation of rack for an occasion
requires input only or output only.
Of course, combination with the Rio3224-D/Rio1608-D
(input/output rack) is enabled to realize system
configuration with higher flexibility.
Remotely Controllable Internal Head
Amplifiers (Ri8-D only)
Internal head amplifier parameters can be remotely
controlled from a compatible device, such as the CL series,
or from a computer application “R Remote.”
Gain Compensation Function
(Ri8-D only)
Enabling Gain Compensation feature of the Ri8-D for
supporting equipment with gain compensation capability
such as CL Series products may compensate change of
analog gain in downstream by the compensation gain
integrated in the Ri8-D, and it will send the audio signal to
Dante network with gain level fixed to a value immediately
before it was enabled.
Direct Audio In/Out With a Connected
Computer
Connecting the Ri8-D/Ro8-D with a standard Ethernet
cable to a computer that has a Dante Virtual Soundcard
installed enables you to directly input or output audio
signals without using an audio interface device (the Ri8-D
is for input and the Ro8-D is for output only).
Firmware Updates
This product enables you to update the unit firmware to
improve operations, add functions, and correct possible
malfunctions. The following two types of firmware are
available for the unit.
• Unit’s firmware
• Dante module firmware
Details on updating the firmware are available on the
following website:
http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/
For information on updating and setting up the unit, please
refer to the firmware update guide available on the website.
NOTE
When you update Dante firmware on the unit, be sure to
update Dante firmware on other Dante-compatible devices
connected to the Ri8-D/Ro8-D.
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 Ri8-D/Ro8-D 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 Ri8-D/Ro8-D 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.

About Dante
This product features Dante technology as a protocol to
transmit audio signals. Dante is a network protocol
developed by Audinate. It is designed to deliver
multi-channel 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 (in theory) of audio over a GbE network.
(The Ri8-D features 8 in with a 24/32-bit resolution.
The Ro8-D features 8 out 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. Five types of latency are
available on the Ri8-D/Ro8-D: 0.25 msec, 0.5 msec,
1.0 msec, 2.0 msec, and 5.0 msec.
• Dante supports redundant connections via primary and
secondary networks to defend against unforeseen
difficulties.
• Connecting a computer to Dante network over Ethernet
enables you to directly input or output audio signals
without using any audio interface devices.
By taking advantages of these benefits, you can skip any
complicated procedures to automate connections and
setups of Dante-enabled devices, remotely control I/O
racks or amplifiers from a mixing console, or make
multi-track recordings to a DAW, such as Nuendo, installed
on a computer in the network.
Visit Audinate website for more details on Dante.
http://www.audinate.com/
More information on Dante is also posted on the Yamaha
Pro Audio website:
http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/
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 performance 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 network
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.
Controls and Functions
Owner’s Manual
10
Controls and Functions
Front Panel
1 [INPUT] Connectors 1–8 (Ri8-D only)
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.
NOTE
The PAD will be switched on or off internally when the gain
of the internal head amp is adjusted between +17 dB and
+18 dB. Keep in mind that noise may be generated if there
is a difference between the Hot and Cold impedance of the
external device connected to the INPUT connector when
using phantom power.
2 OUTPUT +4 dBu Connectors 1–8 (Ro8-D only)
These XLR-3-32 type balanced connectors deliver
analog output from the unit’s corresponding output
channels. Nominal output level is +4 dBu.
3 [+48V] Indicators (Ri8-D only)
These indicators light when +48V phantom power is
turned ON for the corresponding input channels.
Phantom power supply switching can be carried out
from a compatible digital mixing console or computer
application. 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). The +48V indicators
also function as error indicators: the indicators for all
channels will flash if an error occurs.
CAUTION:
• Make sure that phantom power is turned OFF unless it is
needed.
• When turning phantom power ON, make sure that no
equipment other than phantom-powered devices such as
condenser microphones are connected to the
corresponding [INPUT] connectors. Applying phantom
power to a device that does not require phantom power can
damage the connected device.
• Do not connect or disconnect a device to an INPUT while
phantom power is applied. Doing so can damage the
connected device and/or the unit itself.
• To prevent possible damage to speakers, make sure that
power amplifiers and/or powered speakers are turned OFF
when switching phantom power ON or OFF. We also
recommend setting all digital mixing console output
controls to minimum when turning phantom power ON or
OFF. Sudden high level peaks caused by the switching
operation can damage equipment as well as the hearing of
those present.
4 [PEAK] Indicators (Ri8-D only)
These indicators light red when the signal level of the
corresponding channel reaches or exceeds –3 dBFS.
The PEAK indicators also function as error
indicators: the indicators for all channels will flash if
an error occurs.
5 [SIG] (Signal) Indicators
These indicators light green when the signal applied
to the corresponding channel reaches or exceeds
–34 dBFS.
The SIG indicators also function as error indicators:
the indicators for all channels will flash if an error
occurs.
6 [UNIT ID] Rotary Switch
This rotary switch enables you to set an ID number so
that connected devices will recognize the
Ri8-D/Ro8-D. The UNIT ID must be a unique
number in the network so that the Ri8-D/Ro8-D will
be able to transmit and receive audio signals over a
Dante network, or be controlled from a connected
digital mixing console.
Use the rotary switch while the power to the unit is
turned OFF. Otherwise, the ID setting will not be
effective.
7 [SYSTEM] Indicators
These indicators show the Ri8-D/Ro8-D’s operating
status. If the green indicator lights steadily and the red
indicator turns off, the unit is operating normally.
When power to the unit is turned ON, if the green
indicator turns off, or if the red indicator lights or
flashes, the unit is not functioning properly. In this
case, refer to the “Messages” section (see page 18).

• Switches 2 and 3 (IP SELECT MODE)
These specify the method of setting the IP address
used when communicating with an external device
such as R Remote. When connecting the R series to a
computer for the first time immediately after
purchase, set this to something other than STATIC IP
(MANUAL). If you want to set this to STATIC IP
(MANUAL), first specify the IP address from R
Remote and then switch this setting to STATIC IP
(MANUAL).
• Switch 4 (SECONDARY PORT)
This switch setting determines whether the rear-panel
[SECONDARY] connector will be used for a daisy
chain or redundant network.
With the [DAISY CHAIN] setting, you can connect
multiple Dante-enabled network devices in a daisy
chain without using a network switch. Refer to “Daisy
Chain Network” in the “About Connections” section
(see page 14) for more information about daisy chain
connections.
With the [REDUNDANT] setting, the [PRIMARY]
connector will be used for primary connections, and
the [SECONDARY] connector will be used for
secondary (backup) connections. 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 communications and
functions on the redundant network. Refer to “About
Redundant Networks” in the “About Connections”
section (see page 14) for more information on
redundant networks.

Controls and Functions
Owner’s Manual

• Switches 5 and 6 (REMOTE) (Ri8-D only)
When you plan to monitor or control the Ri8-D from
a digital mixing console, these switches determine
whether to use an Ri8-D-native compatible device
such as CL Series or a non-Ri8-D-native device such
as M7CL Series. Information on which devices feature
Ri8-D-native support is available at the Yamaha pro
audio website product page:
http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/products/
• Switches 7 and 8 (START UP MODE)
These switches determine whether part of the internal
memory is initialized when the unit starts up, or uses
the previous settings (i.e., settings used prior to the
most recent power-off).
If you plan to connect an Ri8-D/Ro8-D-native device,
such as a CL series product, set the switches to
[REFRESH]. The Ri8-D/Ro8-D will not input or
output audio until the connected
Ri8-D/Ro8-D-native device transmits its settings to
the Ri8-D/Ro8-D, so that the Ri8-D/Ro8-D will not
output audio accidentally.
0 [+48V MASTER] Switch (Ri8-D only)
This is the master switch for the unit’s +48V phantom
power supply.
If the [+48V MASTER] switch is off, no phantom
power will be supplied to the unit’s input connectors
even if the individual input phantom power settings
are ON. In this case, the [+48V] indicators will flash
on channels for which phantom power is turned ON.
A Power Indicator
Lights when AC power to the unit is ON.
B Power Switch ( )
Turns power to the unit ON or OFF.
CAUTIONS:
• Rapidly turning the unit on and off in succession can cause
it to malfunction. After turning the unit off, wait for about 6
seconds before turning it on again.
• Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still
flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are
not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug
the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
Switch Setting Description
NATIVE An Ri8-D-native device will
control the Ri8-D.
AD8HR A non-Ri8-D-native device will
control the Ri8-D as AD8HRs.
Set the UNIT ID number

any other UNIT ID numbers will
not be controllable.
INITIALIZE Initialize the settings. For details
on the settings that are
initialized, refer to “Initializing
the Ri8-D/Ro8-D” (page15).
Switch Setting Description

C 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.
D [PRIMARY]/[SECONDARY] Connectors
The Ri8-D/Ro8-D can be connected to other
Dante-compatible devices (such as a CL-series
product) via these RJ45 connectors using standard
Ethernet cables (CAT5e or better recommended).
If DIP switch 4 on the front panel is set upward (to
DAISY CHAIN), audio signals coming into one of
these connectors will be output from the other. Refer
to “Daisy Chain Network” in the “About Connections”
section (see page 14) for more information on daisy
chain connections.
If DIP switch 4 on the front panel is set downward (to
REDUNDANT), the [PRIMARY] connector will be
used for primary connection, and the [SECONDARY]
connector will be used for 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 14) for
more information on redundant networks.
NOTE
• 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).
E [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.
F [1G] Indicators
These indicators light when the Dante network is
functioning as Giga-bit Ethernet.
G Grounding screw
Grounding of chassis shall be sufficiently connected
via a power supply cord as long as AC socket is
grounded since the attached power supply cord is a
triplex cable.In addition, connecting this screw to
ground may prevent hum noise or interference noise.

About Connections
Owner’s Manual

About Connections
There are two ways to connect the Ri8-D/Ro8-D 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
The Ri8-D head amplifiers can be remotely controlled
from a host device, such as a compatible Yamaha digital
mixing console.
Control from an Ri8-D-native
Device
The Ri8-D head amplifiers can be controlled remotely
from an Ri8-D-native digital mixing console, such as a CL
series product.
The connected Ri8-D-native device displays the model
name and UNIT ID number of the corresponding Ri8-D
unit to be controlled.
If you plan to connect a device that features Ri8-D-native
support to monitor and control the head amplifiers, refer to
the owner’s manual for the corresponding device.
Control from a Device That
Does Not Feature Ri8-D-Native
Support
This section explains how to configure the Ri8-D settings
that are required to control the Ri8-D as AD8HR units
from a device that does not feature Ri8-D-native support.
For more information, please refer to the “Dante-MY
16-AUD & R Series HA Remote Control Guide” that is
downloadable from the website listed below.
http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/
NOTE
The following Yamaha non-Ri8-D-native devices enable
you to control the Ri8-D as AD8HRs. Insert the
Dante-MY16-AUD card which is a firmware controllable as
AD8HR into the Mini-YGDAI slot for connection.
M7CL, LS9, DM1000, DM2000, PM5D/DSP5D,
DME64N/24N
Setting the DIP Switches
While the power to the unit is off, flip DIP switch 5 down
and DIP switch 6 up.
NOTE
If REMOTE has been set to [AD8HR], START UP MODE
will be set to [RESUME] regardless of the DIP switch
setting.
Setting the UNIT ID
Setting the Ri8-D in [AD8HR] will set UNIT ID as virtual
ID (as AD8HR Device ID).
If you combine Rio3224-D or Rio1608-D or add an
AD8HR or SB168-ES in the network, make sure that the
IDs are all unique.
Set the Ri8-D correctly so that you can control it as
AD8HRs. In addition, scene recall can be used to recall all
