Important Operating Information
The Tio1608-D2 is an audio interface and does not function as a standalone mixer. It requires a compatible Dante-enabled mixing console, computer interface or audio system.
Dante operation requires appropriate Cat5e or better network cabling and proper device configuration. Remote preamplifier control with the Yamaha DM3-D and other supported systems is available through the primary network connection.
The mixing console, network switch, Dante controller computer, analog audio cables and network cabling are not included unless specifically listed with your rental. A technician familiar with Dante networking is recommended for advanced or multi-device systems.
