High-Capacity Dante I/O Rack for Yamaha Digital Consoles


The Yamaha Rio1608‑D3 is a robust Dante-compatible stagebox designed to expand digital mixing systems with 16 analog inputs and 8 outputs. Built to integrate seamlessly with Yamaha CL, QL, DM7, and RIVAGE PM series consoles, it delivers reliable, networked audio performance in live and installed environments.

Transparent Sound with Yamaha’s Natural Sonic Quality


Equipped with 16 clean mic preamps offering switchable 48V phantom power, the Rio1608‑D3 upholds Yamaha's signature "natural sound" with improved dynamic range and reduced noise floor. Whether recording vocals on stage or capturing instrument feeds, the clarity and precision remain top-tier.

Built-In Flexibility with Delay, Polarity, and High Control


This third-generation stagebox adds powerful audio control options directly at the I/O unit. You can adjust output delay, invert polarity, or fine-tune gain settings locally via the intuitive LCD interface. These enhancements streamline speaker alignment and system tuning without needing console access.

Reliable Operation with Redundant Power and Network Ports


Downtime isn't an option in professional environments. The Rio1608‑D3 includes dual redundant power supplies and separate control and audio ports, offering resilience and redundancy. Dante networking supports daisy-chaining for streamlined multi-rack setups. 

Convenient Monitoring via Headphone Jack


A front-panel headphone output allows for quick audio checks and monitoring last-two Dante receive channels or inputs/outputs. This practical feature gives sound engineers immediate feedback without rerouting to the console. 

Precision Control with Remote Capabilities and Visual Feedback


The rack’s LCD display and control dial provide on-site editing of gain, phantom power, and Dante settings, complemented by visual confirmation via meters and character feedback. For remote adjustments, Yamaha's R Remote software integrates seamlessly.

Compact Design Tailored for Touring and Install Use


Encased in a 3U rack-mount chassis (480 × 132 × 370 mm) and weighing just under 10 kg, the Rio1608‑D3 balances durability with portability. Its lightweight, efficient form factor and 60 W power draw make it suitable for both the road and permanent installs.
