Yamaha digital desks and dante

    What do you need to know?

    Switches-

    While Gigabit switches are recommended, 100Mbps switches may be used in limited scenarios.

    • For low channel count (<32) applications, a 100Mbps switch may be used as long as it supports proper QoS, and QoS is active. The use of 100Mbps switches without QoS is not recommended or supported.
    • For higher channel counts, Gigabit switches are essential. QoS is recommended for Gigabit switches on networks that share data with services other than Dante.

    As far as setting up the devices go, you just need to use "Dante Controller" to set the ip addresses of the devices and assign where you want the traffic go. It uses a grid matix in the software, you just check the channels and where they go to.


    example. 8 mic channels to mixer from patch bay, 4 channels from mixer to patch (monitor mix).

    Thanks for the replies, mnmountainbiker appreciated.

    i have got audio going to and from the LS9 to TIO1608. Happily configure this with dante controller.


    Slight problem is that i still need a PC/Mac to set the headamp on the TIO. I always carry a windows XP netbook to gigs but unfortunately dante controller or yamaha "r remote" (for setting the headamps) is not XP compatible. I just dont trust setting it at home and then going on the road without a PC to back me up.

    Ideally, it would be great if i could control the headamps from the LS9 (i understand the RIO1608 can be controlled but not understood if its possible with the TIO1608)


    I know i should be asking this in a yamaha forum or similar, but knowing we have some "like minded" and intelligent musicians in the Kemper forums, there's no harm asking here. Or maybe someone can recommend a good chat forum for this subject?


    Sorry, I don't have any experience with those 2 products, hopefully some one else can help.


    I live in the commercial AV world (casinos, schools, hotels, etc.), that's were I use Dante. I don't have a much experience with live sound, other than the occasional church or small club sound system.
