Introduction

Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Yamaha RSio64-D audio
interface.
To take full advantage of the superior functions and
performance offered by the RSio64-D, and to enjoy years of
trouble-free use, be sure to read this owner's manual
carefully before operation.

Features

The RSio64-D is an interface that can be used as a router
and format converter between Dante and Mini-YGDAI
cards.
This allows Mini-YGDAI cards that support a wide variety
of input/output formats and processing to be connected to
a Dante network, meeting the needs of various types of
systems including broadcast, live, recording, and post-
production. In addition, the settings of the RSio64-D can
be fully controlled from a CL or QL series console.
• A wide variety of Mini-YGDAI cards can be used,
including processing cards as well as input/output cards.
• Each MY slot provides an SRC (Sampling Rate
Converter) to allow digital connection between differing
word clock routes.
• Seven different widely usable routing patterns are preset,
including routing between Mini-YGDAI cards. Matrix
patching from R Remote V3 or a CL/QL console.
• EXT DC INPUT supports redundant power supplies.
• Dante redundancy (primary/secondary) is supported.
NOTE
Before you install Mini-YGDAI cards in slots 1–4, you must
check the Yamaha website to determine whether the card is
compatible with the RSio64-D, and to verify the total number
of Yamaha or third-party cards that can be installed in
combination with that card.

Owner's Manual
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 RSio 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 RSio 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 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.
