Yamaha RI8-D
Main Features
1. Compact 1U size for enhanced Dante system flexibility.
Both sound quality and system layout flexibility were enhanced in the CL series by separating I/O hardware from the mixing console itself. The Ri8-D and Ro8-D take that freedom a step further, from “I/O racks where you need them” to “the number of inputs and outputs you need, wherever you need them”.
2. Support not only for the CL series, but other Dante devices as well.
CL Series components are not the only Yamaha professional audio devices that will work with the Ri8-D and Ro8-D. With the Dante-MY16-AUD Mini-YGDAI card from Audinate installed, the M7CL, LS9, DME64N, and other compatible Yamaha pro audio gear can be used with the Ri8-D and Ro8-D in capable and robust Dante network systems. The Ri8-D head amplifiers can even be controlled directly from the interface of the M7CL, LS9, or other compatible console.
3. Natural, musical sound that brings out the best in any console.
The “natural, musical sound” that was a key element of the CL Series design policy is carried on without compromise in the Ri8-D and Ro8-D. Mechanical construction, circuit board layout, power supply, grounding, and parts selection have all been executed with meticulous attention to detail and quality, combined with exhaustive performance and listening tests at each stage of development. The result is eminently natural, musical sound.
4. Two models: one dedicated to input, and one to output.
With the input-only Ri8-D and output-only Ro8-D it becomes possible to place inputs where you only need inputs and outputs where you only need outputs, or any combination required for the application. Of course the Ri8-D and Ro8-D can be used in combination with the Rio3224-D and Rio1608-D I/O racks as well.
