  • Page 3: Introduction

    1. Introduction When Yamaha launched the CL series of digital mixing consoles, they were the first of their kind to include Dante networking built in. They are still among the most advanced audio networking products available. Yet Dante can be simple enough for sound engineers to use without any specific network training.

Unit ID settings Each CL/QL console and R series I/O rack relies upon a unit ID number for device recognition, remote control functions and system management.
  • Page 5 Here is how the Console ID affects operation. Because Console ID #1 controls some settings of the R series units, there should always be a console with ID #1 in the system (unless R Remote software is used instead of a mixing console): R series Unit ID When using multiple R series I/O rack devices in the system, make sure a unique ID number is set for each device.
  • Page 6 For the original R series units, set the Unit ID while the device is powered off (any change will not be detected while the unit is on). Push dip switch 1 down to access additional ID numbers. Rio-D2 Unit ID For these devices, the Unit ID must be set while it is powered on, using the front panel display.

  • Page 7: Unit Id Rules

    3-3. Unit ID Rules  There should never be two consoles with the same CONSOLE ID in a single system.  If there are more than four consoles in a single system, use the “ID OFF” option for the additional consoles. ...
  • Page 8 In addition, Dante networks allow a mixed combination of star topology and daisy-chain connections. In this way, lower budget daisy-chain connections can be added without using network switches, where the network redundancy is not required. Daisy-chain uses each Both star topology and daisy- Secondary port for connecting chain connections can co-exist to the adjacent device...
  • Page 9 A common mistake: Wrong Primary/Secondary connections It is a good idea to check the settings before joining the device to the network: use the Dante Setup menu of CL/QL, the front panel SETUP of Rio-D2 and the front panel dip switches of the original R series devices.

    5. Managing IP addresses and connecting Dante Controller 5-1. Types of IP address for CL/QL and R series CL/QL series has three different ports and IP addresses for communicating with different external devices. Dante port ✔Dante audio, PTP sync ✔HA remote for R series IP address 169.254.xx.yy Device Control port ✔HA remote for Tio1608-D...

  • Page 11: How To Set An Ip Address For Each Port

    5-2. How to set an IP address for each port Each type of port has different way of setting its IP address, and certain ports allow automatic assignment of IP addresses, while others require manual settings. Manual assignment of IP addresses to the Dante port will require the use of Dante Controller software.

    Link-local addressing – the IP address is automatically assigned without any manual settings, as in the example below. LINK LOCAL ADDRESS 169.254.230.181 169.254.212.197 169.254.xx.yy Keep the IP configuration of your PC Auto or DHCP, and 169.254. 12.34 a link-local address will be automatically assigned.

  • Page 13: Dante Patching By Using Dante Controller

    Once each R series device is mounted in the console, the AUTO SETUP function in the DANTE INPUT PATCH screen makes Dante patching very easy, following the order of units and input ports. However, manual patching is possible for more advanced setups, and allows a large variation of connections between the console and the mounted R series devices.

  • Page 14: Additional Design Tips

    To design and operate a stable Dante system, it is necessary to understand a few key concepts about Dante networking. In this additional chapter, we will go through various suggested settings and tips for successfully operating Yamaha digital mixing systems with Dante audio networking. SAFETY FIRST 6-2.
  • Page 15 For CL/QL consoles, the default setting is to use DANTE 48k as the clock Master. This is the best setting for most systems. Latency settings can be adjusted, depending on the number of network switches positioned between the devices, and the initial value is 1.0msec. The latency value can be changed by either Dante Controller or the Dante Setup screen of CL/QL consoles.

  • Page 16: Mixed Sampling Frequencies

    “sample-rate converter” device is needed. There are two options: use a HY144-D-SRC card in the RIVAGE system to output 144 Dante channels at 48kHz; or use a Yamaha RSio64-D containing Dante- MY16-AUD2 cards, which can convert 32 Dante channels from 96kHz to 48kHz.

  • Page 17: Limits On The Number Of Connectable Dante Devices

    6-4. Limits on the number of connectable Dante devices Even though thousands of Dante enabled devices can share a network, there are certain limits on the number of Dante devices that can be mounted per console, the number of I/O devices with HA remote control, and the number of consoles that provide the control.

    6-5. Determine if a device can be remotely controlled CL/QL series consoles can remotely control various setting such as head-amp gain and so on, from compatible Yamaha and 3 party I/O devices. When selecting a device in the DANTE SETUP ->...

    6-6. Possible device combinations for remote control Below is a diagram showing which consoles and the R remote application can remotely control each I/O device listed. As this indicates, CL/QL series can control all R series devices as well as Tio1608-D, and even the internal HA of QL series.

    Focusrite, Stagetec and Rupert Neve Designs. This provides more options for choosing suitable I/O devices to work with a Yamaha audio system. Enjoy the versatility and convenience that Yamaha’s CL and QL consoles provide: not just high quality audio mixing consoles, but the centre of an advanced, networked audio control system.
