Yamaha has launched new networking additions for its TF Series Digital Mixers at the 2016 Winter NAMM show. Running on the Dante protocol, the NY64-D I/O expansion card and the Tio 1608-D I/O rack allow for seamless audio networking capabilities. Both products offer an expandable digital snake solution and eliminate the need for a network switch. Additionally, the V2.0 update to the TF firmware will include feature enhancements and improved system presets.

The Tio1608-D offers a QuickConfig mode, which auto patches the inputs and outputs without requiring a computer. Yamaha says in three steps, sound engineers can network the Tio1608-D from the stage to the TF console for high-quality, low-latency audio transfer with 16 mic/line inputs and eight line outputs. Up to three units can be daisy-chained to offer 48 inputs and 24 outputs.

The NY64-D expansion card increases the capability of the TF series consoles to route audio over a Dante network. With quick installation, it allows for the transmission and reception of up to 64 input channels and 64 output channels of 48kHz/24bit digital audio data.

The Tio1608-D and NY64-D will ship in March 2016.
