AD Converter with Remote Preamplifier

Rear Panel

Remotely controllable 8-channel AD converter and preamplifier with 96 kHz processing.
Microphone preamplifier technology inherited from the PM5000 analog live sound console for unsurpassed sound

quality.

Microphone preamplifier gain can be remotely controlled in steps of 1 dB from compatible Yamaha digital mixing

consoles.

High-pass filter with remotely controllable cutoff frequency on each channel. Remotely switchable phantom power supply. Up to 255 AD8HRs can be daisy-chained for massive input capacity. AES/EBU digital connection to digital mixing console minimizes the need for analog cabling. Eight XLR connectors and D-Sub AES/EBU terminals in a compact 1U design. Dual output connectors enable 2 x 8-channel digital audio output in the AES/EBU format. Remote control can be implemented via RS422 or switchable PC/RS422 nine-pin terminals.

MY16-EX
Plug-in, Expandable EtherSound Audio Networking
EtherSound is the digital audio and control transfer protocol of choice for many modern live sound applications. Now with a single Yamaha MY16-ES64 card you can add 16 channels of bidirectional EtherSound connectivity to a range of Yamaha professional audio devices that accept mini-YGDAI expansion cards. Simply add one, two, or three MY16-EX expansion cards to the core MY16-ES64 card to increase the EtherSound channel capacity to 32, 48, or 64 channels. As EtherSound is bidirectional, MY16-ES64 and MY16-EX cards work on both ends of the system. You could, for example, equip your Yamaha digital mixer with an MY16-ES64 card and up to 3 MY16-EX cards to provide the required EtherSound input and output capability, and install complementary MY16-ES64 and MY16-EX cards into on-stage Yamaha TXn-series power amplifiers for a clean Ethernet-only connection from console to power amplifiers. For input you could use Yamaha AD8HR remotely-controllable head amplifiers connected via a Yamaha NAI48-ES EtherSound Network Audio Interface. But of course there are many other EtherSound device options as well; you
might want to use Yamaha DME Digital Mixing Engines on your audio network, or a growing number of devices from other manufacturers. And since EtherSound is based on Ethernet you can use standard high-speed Ethernet hubs and routers to configure your network to meet your specific system requirements.
EtherSound: Optimum Digital Audio Transfer for Live Sound
EtherSound is rapidly becoming a favorite choice for audio networking in live-sound applications because, while allowing high-quality bidirectional transfer of as many as 64-channels of 24-bit 48 kHz digital audio over a single Ethernet cable, it is easy to set up and offers extremely low latency. Using highperformance Cat-5 Ethernet cables* you can reliably transfer audio and remote control signals for compatible devices such as AD8HR remote head amplifiers over distances of up to 100 meters with no errors or degradation.
*Refer to http://www.ethersound.com/technoloty/compatibility.php Distance may vary depending on Cable performance.
MY16-ES64 & EX Application
Here's a live sound system with live recording capability that benefits immensely from EtherSound networking. A Yamaha digital mixing console is equipped with an MY16-ES64 card and two MY16-EX cards to provide 48 channels of EtherSound input and output. The 48 input channels are fed by a bank of six 8-channel AD8HR Remote Head Amplifiers connected to the EtherSound network via an NAI48-ES Network Audio Interface. Power to the system's speakers is supplied by four advanced TXn series power amplifiers, one fitted with an MY16-ES64 card linked to MY16-EX cards installed in the remaining three amplifiers. The EtherSound network connection from the MY16-ES64 card installed in the M7CL-48 initially goes to an EtherSound Network Card installed in a computer, allowing direct live recording to Steinberg Nuendo DAW software.
