Yamaha Tio1608-D2 - Returned Item (Condition: Very Good)

A Stagebox That Enhances Your Mixer's Convenience

The Tio1608-D2 is the ideal stagebox for use with the TF series or the DM3. The TF series can be connected, via the optional NY64-D expansion card, to up to three Tio1608-D2 units, while the DM3 can be connected to a single unit. Connecting the console and the Tio1608-D2 units in a daisy chain with a lightweight, rugged CAT5e Ethernet cable provides high-quality audio transmission with low latency, without the time-consuming cabling and installation required when using analog snakes.

Highly Reliable Dante Network Audio Protocol

Dante is used by leading manufacturers and professionals in the sound reinforcement industry for its low jitter, low latency, and high sampling accuracy. With the Tio1608-D2 you can easily configure a powerful Dante stagebox system—with little or no IT networking knowledge. Thanks to the flexibility of the Dante network protocol, the TF series or DM3 can be connected to a variety of Dante-enabled devices such as R-series I/O racks.

Fast, Easy Configuration

The TF series and the DM3 include features for automatic configuration of network settings and audio patching connections that simplify system setup. After you configure the device ID and the QUICK CONFIG switches on the front of the Tio rack, you can complete setup using the TF series' QUICK CONFIG function or the DM3's AUTO CONFIG function by simply connecting the console and the Tio rack with an Ethernet cable. Power on the device and you're ready to go!

*Set the QUICK CONFIG switch to ON when using Quick CONFIG with the TF series, and to OFF when using AUTO CONFIG with the DM3.*

Simple and Flexible Input Selection

Once the basic configuration is complete, you can assign inputs to best match your system setup. All inputs can be assigned uniformly to the Tio rack in no time via the TF series' INPUT screen or a DM3's PATCH screen. You can also configure each input to receive signals from multiple locations so you can make full use of all inputs.

Recallable D-PRE Preamps

The Tio1608-D2 inherits the natural, musical sensitivity pursued during the development of the TF series. The mechanical design, PCB layout, power supply, grounding and component selection were executed with great attention to detail and quality, combined with extensive performance and listening tests at every stage of development. The Tio1608-D2 features the same recallable D-PRE mic preamps as the TF series to ensure a consistent, natural and musical sound across the system.

System Example with DM3

With the Tio1608-D2 you can easily connect a digital DM3 console system. The system is set up using a plug & play method. Simply connect a Cat5e cable, select the device IDs and the system is ready. HA remote control is possible via Cat5e. The StageMix app allows wireless control of the console from the arena, the stage or the audience, etc.
