Frequently Asked Questions
No, the RIO1608-D2 is designed solely as a remote I/O device and requires a Yamaha CL/QL series mixer for operation and signal processing.
Latency is typically very low, often under 1ms, depending on network configuration and Dante device count. Yamaha’s implementation is generally very stable.
While it will appear as a Dante device, full functionality and control are optimized for Yamaha’s mixing consoles and their ecosystem.
