Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Yamaha
Rio3224-D2/Rio1608-D2 I/O Rack. This product is a
Dante-compatible I/O rack for use in a mixing system. The
Rio3224-D2 is an I/O rack featuring 32 channels of analog
input, 16 channels of analog output, and 8 channels of
AES/EBU output. The Rio1608-D2 is an I/O rack featuring
16 channels of analog input and 8 channels of analog
output. This manual explains the settings and
troubleshooting that a mixing engineer or operator will
perform when setting up or preparing the mixing system.
In order to take full advantage of this product’s
functionality, be sure to read this owner’s manual before
use. After reading the manual, keep it for future reference.
NOTE
• Where specifications for the Rio3224-D2 differ from the
Rio1608-D2, this manual places specifications that apply
only to the Rio1608-D2 in curly brackets { } (e.g., [INPUT]
connectors 1-32 {1-16}).
• Unless otherwise noted, illustrations for the Rio3224-D2
are used.
• If certain specifications are common to both the
Rio3224-D2 and Rio1608-D2, both units are collectively
called “Rio-D2.”
• The RIVAGE PM, CL, and QL series devices can control
the head amplifiers over communication protocols which
allow for redundant connections. These devices are called
“supported digital mixers” in this manual. On the other
hand, the TF series, Nuage, MTX, and R Remote devices
can control the head amplifiers over communication
protocols which do not allow for redundant connections.
Not only these devices but also “supported digital mixers”
are collectively called “supported devices” in this manual.
Features
Long-distance Dante Network Capability
Low-latency, low-jitter audio can be transferred over
distances up to 100 meters* between devices via standard
Ethernet cables using the Dante network protocol. The
Rio-D2 can be used as a general-purpose I/O box for the
Dante network. Supported sampling rates are 44.1 kHz,
48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, and 96 kHz.
This unit supports the AES67 standard for audio
networking interoperability, and allows audio connections
via AES67 with various compatible audio networks.
* Maximum practical distance may vary according to the cable used.
Display and Encoder for Improved
Visibility and Operability
The front panel features an organic EL display, an encoder
with switch, and buttons. The internal head amps and
parameters such as HPF can be viewed and controlled
using only the Rio-D2 unit itself. The unit’s internal errors
and status are clearly indicated in the display.
Remotely Controllable Internal Head
Amplifiers
Internal head amp parameters can be remotely controlled
from the supported devices.
Digital Outputs (Rio3224-D2 only)
The Rio3224-D2 features XLR-3-32 type balanced
connectors for AES/EBU format digital audio outputs.
Gain Compensation Function
If the Gain Compensation function of the Rio-D2 is
enabled from a supported device (such as a RIVAGE PM,
CL, or QL series) or R Remote, the subsequent fluctuations
in analog gain will be compensated for by the internal
digital gain of the Rio-D2, and the audio signal will be
output to the Dante network at the gain level that was fixed
immediately before the Gain Compensation function was
enabled. This means that, for example, if the same inputs
are shared by FOH and monitor, changing the FOH gain
will not affect the monitor mix balance.
Two Internal Power Supply Units
Duplicate power supplies allow continued operation even
in the unlikely event that one power supply experiences a
problem.
Quietness
Noise-reduction measures for the fans provide greater
silence.
Firmware Updates
This product enables you to update the unit firmware to
improve operations, add functions, and correct possible
malfunctions. The following two types of firmware are
available for the unit.
• Unit’s firmware
• Dante module firmware
Details on updating the firmware are available on the
following website:
http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/
For information on updating and setting up the unit, please
refer to the firmware update guide available on the website.
NOTE
When you update Dante firmware on the unit, be sure to
update Dante firmware on other Dante-compatible devices
connected to the Rio-D2.

Caution when using a network
switch
Please do not use the EEE function (*) of network switches
in a Dante network.
Although power management should be negotiated
automatically in switches that support EEE, some switches
do not perform the negotiation properly.
This may cause EEE to be enabled in Dante networks when
it is not appropriate, resulting in poor synchronization
performance and occasional dropouts.
Therefore we strongly recommend the following:
• When using a managed switch, turn off the EEE function
of all ports used by Dante. Do not use a switch that is
unable to turn off the EEE function.
• If using an unmanaged switch, do not use a switch that
supports the EEE function. Such switches are unable to
turn off the EEE function.
* EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is a technology that reduces switch
power consumption during periods of low network traffic. It is also
known as Green Ethernet or IEEE802.3az.
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 Rio-D2 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:
• If three or more Rio-D2 units are mounted without
space in the same rack, set the fan speeds to HIGH.
• If multiple units are mounted in the same rack with
their fan speeds set to LOW, leave a 1U rack space
between every two units. Also either leave the open
spaces uncovered or install appropriate ventilating
panels to minimize the possibility of 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 Rio-D2 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 the rear of the rack can’t be
left open, install a commercially available fan or
similar ventilating option to secure sufficient
airflow. 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.

Controls and Functions
Front Panel
1 [INPUT] Connectors 1–32 {1–16}
These are the XLR-3-31 type analog balanced
connectors for the input channels. The input level
range is from –62 dBu to +10 dBu. +48V phantom
power can be supplied to devices that require it via the
input connectors.
2 [+48V] Indicators
These indicators light when +48V phantom power is
turned ON for the corresponding input channels.
On/off switching is controlled from this unit’s front
panel display, or from a compatible digital mixer. No
phantom power will be supplied, however, if the
[+48V MASTER] switch is OFF, even if phantom
power to individual channels is turned ON (the +48V
indicators will flash). If a serious error occurs in this
unit, the indicators of all channels will light or flash.
CAUTION:
• If phantom power is not required, you must turn OFF the
+48V MASTER switch or the phantom power setting.
• When turning phantom power ON, make sure that no
equipment other than phantom-powered devices such as
condenser microphones are connected to the
corresponding [INPUT] connectors. Applying phantom
power to a device that does not require phantom power can
damage the connected device.
• Do not connect or disconnect a device to an INPUT while
phantom power is applied. Doing so can damage the
connected device and/or the unit itself.
• To prevent possible damage to speakers, make sure that
power amplifiers and/or powered speakers are turned OFF
when switching phantom power ON or OFF. We also
recommend setting all digital mixing console output
controls to minimum when turning phantom power ON or
OFF. Sudden high level peaks caused by the switching
operation can damage equipment as well as the hearing of
those present.

9 Power Switch ( )
Turns power to the unit ON or OFF.
CAUTION:
Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still
flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are
not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug
the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
NOTE
Rapidly turning the unit on and off in succession can cause
it to malfunction. After turning the unit off, wait for about 6
seconds before turning it on again.
0 [+48V MASTER] Switch
This is the master switch for the unit’s +48V phantom
power supply.
If the [+48V MASTER] switch is off, no phantom
power will be supplied to the unit’s input connectors
even if the individual input phantom power settings
are ON. In this case, the [+48V] indicators will flash
on channels for which phantom power is turned ON.
A [AES/EBU OUT] Connectors 1/2–7/8
(Rio3224-D2 only)
These XLR-3-32 type balanced connectors deliver
AES/EBU format digital output from the unit’s
corresponding output channels. Each connector
outputs 2-channel digital audio.
B [OUTPUT +4 dBu] Connectors 1–16 {1–8}
These XLR-3-32 type balanced connectors deliver
analog output from the unit’s corresponding output
channels. Nominal output level is +4 dBu.
NOTICE:
If you cannot avoid connecting this unit’s balanced output
to an unbalanced device, you should match the ground
polarity of each unit, since differences in the ground
polarity may cause a device to malfunction.
For the cable used to connect an unbalanced device,
connect pin 3 COLD with pin 1 GND.

C [PRIMARY]/[SECONDARY] Connectors
These are etherCON (RJ45) ports can be connected to
other Dante devices such as a RIVAGE PM, CL, QL, or
TF series unit using Ethernet cables (CAT5e or better
recommended).
If the SETUP menu SECONDARY PORT parameter
is set to DAISY CHAIN in the display, the signal that
is input from one port is transmitted to the other port.
Refer to “Daisy Chain Network” in the “About
Connections” section (see page 25) for more
information on daisy chain connections.
If the SETUP menu SECONDARY PORT parameter
is set to REDUNDANT in the display, the
[PRIMARY] port is for the primary connection and
the [SECONDARY] port is for the secondary
(backup) connection. If the unit is unable to transmit
signals through the [PRIMARY] connector for some
reason (e.g., due to damage or accidental removal of
the cable, or a failed network switch), the
[SECONDARY] connector will automatically take
over the connection. Refer to “About Redundant
Networks” in the “About Connections” section (see
page 25) for more information on redundant
networks.
NOTE
• The use of Ethernet cables with Neutrik etherCON CAT5e
compatible RJ45 plugs is recommended. Standard RJ45
plugs can also be used.
• Use STP (shielded twisted pair) cable to prevent
electromagnetic interference. Make sure that the metal
parts of the plugs are electrically connected to the STP
cable shield by conductive tape or comparable means.
• Connect only Dante-compatible devices or
GbE-compatible devices (including a computer).
D [LINK/ACT] Indicators
These indicators show the communication status of
the [PRIMARY] and [SECONDARY] connectors.
They flash fast if the Ethernet cables are connected
properly.
E [1G] Indicators
These indicators light when the Dante network is
functioning as Giga-bit Ethernet.
F DIP switches
These are for expanding the functionality in the
future. At present, no functions are assigned to these
DIP switches.
G AC IN Connector
Connect the supplied AC power cord here. First,
connect the power cord to the device, then insert the
power cord plug into the AC outlet.
The supplied power cord features a special latching
mechanism (V-LOCK) to prevent the power cord
from being accidentally disconnected. Connect the
power cord by inserting the power cord fully until it is
locked.
CAUTION:
Be sure to turn the power off before connecting or
disconnecting the power cord.
Press the latch button on the
plug to disconnect the power
cord.
