This I\/O rack offers Dante, USB and analog input\/output jacks and ports, and is useful in a wide range of situations. Use this product in conjunction with the bundled VST Rack Pro software to create a flexible, stable plug-in environment.<\/p>\n

An audio interface that serves as a bridge for Dante, USB, and analog signals
\nThe RUio16-D features a variety of input\/output jacks to meet the varied needs of engineers.<\/p>\n

Use the included VST Rack Pro software to create your own flexible, highly stable plug-in environment. If you are also using a Dante-enabled mixer such as the QL Series, it\u2019s easy to integrate this into your system.<\/p>\n

This product also features a high-quality microphone preamp for use in applications such as acoustic measurement.<\/p>\n

A compact yet rugged interface

\nThe VST Rack Pro includes an array of more than 30 rich-sounding popular plug-ins created by Yamaha and Steinberg.<\/p>\n

These include the Buss Comp 369, which has been praised by RIVAGE PM users; REVerence, which offers high-quality sampled reverbs; and the SuperVision, which is useful for managing loudness, together with other plug-ins that can be used in wide variety of other applications.<\/p>\n

Adding the RUio16-D and the VST Rack Pro to your touring system will let you use sounds from the plug-ins you\u2019re accustomed to, giving you the sound you want wherever you happen to be.<\/p>\n

System examples
\nAdding VST plug-ins to a Dante system
\nYamaha RUio16-D: Adding VST plug-ins to a Dante system
\nIt\u2019s easy to add the RUio16-D to sound systems such as the QL Series which use Dante in their infrastructure. You can add up to 16 channels of high-quality plug-ins such as compressors and sampling reverbs without the need for complex wiring or configuration. Just adding simple wiring and a compact interface will provide a significant upgrade to an existing system.<\/p>\n

Use as a multipurpose interface to handle plug-ins and acoustic measurement simultaneously

\nThe RUio16-D comes with a wealth of analog, Dante, and USB inputs and outputs that allow you to put it to good use as an interface to integrate plug-ins into your system, as well as for a range of other applications. This system is one such example, using the analog input with a high-grade mic pre as an audio interface for acoustic measurement.<\/p>\n

As shown, the RUio16-D is a groundbreaking audio interface that is compact and portable while also being suitable for a wide variety of applications.<\/p>\n

*A maximum of 14 Dante input and output channels can be used when using analog inputs and outputs.<\/p>\n

*Insert signals cannot be input or output from the Dante port of CL Series consoles. A Dante-MY16-AUD2 card must be used as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
