To support a wider range of system designs and deployment scenarios, the Yamaha DM5 platform is joined by a lineup of flexible I/O solutions making it easier to build, scale, and optimize systems for any environment.
The Yamaha RUio1608SB-D is a first-of-its-kind stage box option from Yamaha, featuring 16 inputs and 8 outputs with improved sound quality and reliable performance. The unit supports flexible placement on the floor or in a rack with an optional mounting kit. Built in response to customer demand, it provides high-quality head amp performance comparable to the DM3, making it a practical and versatile option for expanding system I/O in professional audio environments.
A Compact, Highly Robust I/O Stagebox
With its simple, unobtrusive design, sturdy protectors, and grip-friendly handles, this lightweight, portable RUio1608SB-D can set up on stage without getting in the way. For extra peace of mind, the panel lock function prevents controllers from being operated by mistake.
Safe for Setup Anywhere
This RUio1608SB-D features with damage-resistant rubber protectors to prevent the stage floor from being scratched, and you can stack up to two units on top of one another to make even better use of the available space.
Check and Set Parameters Right Away with the Onboard Display
In addition to directly monitoring the meters for each channel, the built-in mini-LCD screen also allows you to configure and check I/O parameters for Dante, HA gain, phantom power, and more - no need to connect to a mixing console or PC. In the event of an error, the keys on the front panel and the LEDs light up, so you can take action with a minimum of delay.
A Solid Foundation for Inspirational Live Sound
More than just compact and portable, the RUio1608SB-D also inherits Yamaha's time-honored tradition of transparent sound, just like the RPio622/222 and Rio3224-D3/1608-D3 before it. This stagebox has been designed and built to capture the stage sound in all its glory and deliver to the mixing console pure.
Dante-Enabled for Flexible System Design
Audinate's Dante network protocol offers unrivalled flexibility in system setup and configuration, and gives you complete freedom to use almost any combination of devices to suit your needs and physically locate them wherever you find most convenient. As if that weren't enough, Dante also features built-in redundancy to keep your system operating in the event of a problem.
Effortless Control from Yamaha Consoles and Processors
With your RUio1608SB-D connected via Dante to Yamaha digital mixing consoles and other digital signal processors, managing patching and I/O parameters is simple. When connected to a mixing console, the stagebox can be mounted as a Dante device, allowing you to remotely control HA gain and other parameters. Meanwhile, when connected to a processor, parameters can be controlled using our ProVisionaire suite.
