Yamaha has expanded its lineup of mini-YGDAI format cards with the introduction of MY16-ES64 EtherSound Interface card and MY16-EX expansion card.

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 16channels 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 systems. 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 card and MY16-EX cards into on-stage Yamaha TXn-series power amplifier. For input you could use Yamaha AD8HR remotely-controllable head amplifiers connected via a Yamaha NAI48-ES EtherSound Network Audio Interface. This Yamaha stage box solution can be achieved by using MY16-ES64 and MY16-EX cards, delivering high quality sound while keeping cabling requirements to a minimum.

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.
