Welcome Thank you for purchasing the 6416Y2 A-Net® Interface Card for use with Yamaha® digital products that support the mini-YGDAI (MY) card format. This User Guide is designed to familiarize you with the features and functions of your new Pro64® product. All Pro64 products are powered by A-Net®, Aviom’s proprietary data transmission protocol designed especially for the unique demands of live streaming audio.
Package Contents The contents of the 6416Y2 A-Net Interface Card box includes: • • One 6416Y2 A-Net Interface Card User documentation P Note Retain the protective bag that encloses the 6416Y2 card. The card is static-sensitive. Use the bag whenever the card will be transported without being installed in a Yamaha device. Check the contents of the shipping box carefully before making connections and continuing with installation.
Cat-5e Cables All Cat-5e connections between A-Net devices should use Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable. The cable can be of the stranded or solid type; solid wire performs better over long distances, while stranded wire is more flexible and easier to manipulate and therefore easier to work with in a live performance situation. Cables designated as Cat-5e in Pro64 documentation can be interchanged with any Cat-6 (or better) cable. Cables will be referred to simply as “Cat-5e.

Firmware Notice All Pro64 devices in a network should be updated to use the most recent firmware version to ensure trouble-free operation. As new Pro64 devices are released, older Pro64 products need to be updated so that they recognize the features and functions of the newer modules—something that is especially important if one of the older devices will be used as the network’s Control Master.
Installing the 6416Y2 Card Before installing the 6416Y2 card in a compatible Yamaha digital device, be sure to read the DIP switch configuration section of this User Guide (page 25). The 6416Y2 card can be used in any MY (mini-YGDAI) expansion slot in a Yamaha digital mixing console or compatible digital product (see the list on page 3). The specific number of available MY expansion slots varies with each model. Yamaha expansion slots are identified by number, starting with “Slot 1.
To install the 6416Y2 card: 1. Start with the power to the Yamaha digital device off. 2. Remove the Yamaha device’s power cord from the wall receptacle. 3. Remove the cover plate on the Yamaha device’s expansion slot to expose the expansion connections. 4. Discharge any built-up static charge by touching the metal casing of the host Yamaha unit. 5. Remove the 6416Y2 card from its protective anti-static sleeve. 6.
About A-Net Aviom’s A-Net® is the only networking technology conceived, designed, and optimized for managing and distributing audio using ordinary Cat-5e cables (or fiber by adding fiber optic SFP transceivers to the AllFrame F6 Modular I/O Frame or MH10f Merger Hub). As implemented in the Pro64® Series products, A-Net can transmit up to 64 channels of uncompressed 24-bit audio with the reliability and fidelity of analog, and the power and flexibility of a true digital network.
regardless of the system configuration. (Not all VDC data types are supported on every Pro64 device.) Because VDC inputs are simply incorporated into the A-Net stream, these control signals can be transmitted over very long cable runs and even across an entire Pro64 network, significantly expanding the applications possible with MIDI, RS-232/422, and GPIO.
Support For Pro16 Series Products Pro64 Series products can be combined with Pro16® Series output products such as Personal Mixers or output modules System by adding the Pro64 ASI A-Net Systems Interface. This 1U device converts Pro64 A-Net data to Pro16 data, providing up to four streams of 16-channel data (depending on the Pro64 sample rate) that can be used with A360, A-16II, and A-16R Personal Mixers*, A-Net Distributors, and the AV-P2 and AN-16/o Output Modules.
Pro64 User Interface This section outlines some basic concepts of operation for Pro64 products. Pro64 I/O devices have some common user interface elements that make setting up an audio network easy to understand. Although the 6416Y2 doesn’t have a front panel user interface with buttons and LEDs, its interface elements are similar to other Pro64 hardware I/O modules that use buttons and LEDs for comparable features (as seen in some of the examples).
Slots and Sample Rate The current system-wide sample rate will determine the number of A-Net Slots that are available. Sample Rate A-Net Slots Yamaha Compatibility 44.1kHz 64 Yes 48kHz 64 Yes 88.2kHz 32 Yes 96kHz 32 Yes 176.4kHz 16 No 192kHz 16 No Even though the network sample rate may change the available number of A-Net Slots, the I/O capacity of a hardware device does not change. That is, a 16-channel input module in a 96kHz network can still have all of its channels activated.
Control Master In every Pro64 network, one device will always be designated as the Control Master, the device that manages all A-Net resources for the network. The Control Master can be any I/O module in the network, and can be assigned or changed by the user as needed. Only one device can be assigned as Control Master in a Pro64 network at a time; an A-Net Pro64 network cannot function without a Control Master.
Only one device in a Pro64 network can be designated as the Control Master. Here, a Pro64 I/O module is shown. Setting Control Master Status Setting the 6416Y2 to be the network Control Master is done using the DIP switches found on the front panel. The Control Master is set with switch 12, found in the same DIP switch block as the Stereo Link section of the interface.
Control Master Functions This section describes the individual functions of the Control Master device in a Pro64 network. Enumeration When the Control Master is powered on, its first job is to identify and count all connected A-Net devices in the network in a process called enumeration. The time for this process will vary based upon the number of Pro64 devices in a system.
Control Master and Clock Source The Pro64 device designated as Control Master is also in control of the network master clock. The Clock Master LED lights to indicate that a module is designated as the network’s master clock source. (The 6416dio Digital I/O Module is the only exception to this rule.) RS–232/422 ON 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 B A 9 10 11 12 STEREO LINK 6416Y2 AUTO CLK CTL ERR The red Clock Master (CLK) LED lights when a Pro64 device is the Control Master.
Clock Errors If a clock error occurs, the Clock Master LED will blink indicating that an error has occurred.
Changing the Sample Rate Changing the sample rate when a 6416Y2 A-Net Interface Card is the Clock Master is done from within the Yamaha user interface. The range of available sample rates varies per Yamaha device; consult the Yamaha user documentation for complete information on the available sample rates that are supported on a particular digital product. Changing the Yamaha host device’s sample rate will affect the number of available A-Net Slots when the sample rate changes from the 1x range (44.
Managed Mode Managed Mode requires the use of a computer and the free Pro64 Network Manager software connected to the Pro64 network for tasks such as configuration and channel routing, system monitoring, preamp remote control, and firmware updates. The Control Master is the only module that can allow the network to enter Managed Mode. Entering Managed Mode from a 6416Y2 card requires that the 6416Y2 card be the network’s Control Master.
Exiting Managed Mode also requires that the host Yamaha device be powered down so that the 6416Y2 card can be removed to have its DIP switch settings changed. Refer to the Pro64 Network Manager software’s documentation for complete information about its use with a Pro64 network.

A-Net active LED Front Panel Features This section describes the features and functions of the front panel of the 6416Y2 A-Net card interface.
DIP Switches There is one 12-position DIP switch block on the front panel of the 6416Y2, referred to as SW7 in the diagrams that follow. Note the mounting direction of the DIP switches; to activate a switch on SW7, move it to the down position. The default setting for all switches in this block is up. In this diagram, channels 7-8, 13-14, and 15-16 are stereo linked. This 6416Y2 is also the network Control Master. DIP switch handles are indicated in black.
Stereo Link DIP Switches Eight Stereo Link DIP switches are provided allowing odd-even channels to be paired for use with Aviom Pro16 personal monitoring products such as the A360, A-16II, and A-16R Personal Mixers. (This application requires the ASI A-Net Systems Interface.) Each DIP switch controls a pair of channels. Stereo Link information will be passed to all Pro64 modules.
Auto LED The Auto LED will be on and lit yellow to indicate that the Pro64 network is running in Auto Mode. In the off state, this LED indicates that the network is operating in Managed Mode. Control Master (CTL) LED The yellow Control Master (CTL) LED indicates that the 6416Y2 card is set to be the network’s Control Master. A 6416Y2 card set to be the network’s Control Master is automatically set to be the network Clock Master as well, deriving the network clock from the Yamaha host device.
Circuit Board DIP Switches The 6416Y2 A-Net Interface Card can be configured using either the on-board DIP switches or from the Pro64 Network Manager software. Although the card can be programmed manually by using the circuit board DIP switches, the process can be greatly simplified by using the free Pro64 Network Manager software, allowing almost all of the card’s DIP switches to be left in their default state.
DIP Switch Locations This diagram shows the locations of the 6416Y2 DIP switches.
DIP Switch Functions The individual switch functions for circuit board DIP switch blocks SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4, SW8, and SW9 are detailed in this section. DIP Switch Block 1 (SW1) Use Switch Block 1 (SW1) to activate channels 1-8 on the 6416Y2 card and assign them to Slots within the Pro64 network. In the down position, channels 1-8 are off; move a DIP switch to the up position to activate a channel and assign it to a Slot in the Pro64 network.
DIP Switch Block 3 (SW3) The DIP switches in block SW3 are used to configure m-control, a feature that allows the user to control preamp settings on 6416m Mic Input Module or AllFrame devices in the Pro64 network directly from compatible Yamaha consoles. SW7 ON 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 SW8 ON ON 1 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 SW9 7 8 SW3 ON ON 1 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 SW4 3 4 5 6 7 8 SW1 ON 1 2 SW2 3 4 5 6 7 8 SW3 configures the m-control feature, for use with 6416m mic preamps.
SW3 Switch Functions The switches on SW3 have the following functions. Unless otherwise noted, these settings apply only when programming the 6416Y2 card manually from its on-board DIP switches.
The table below shows parameters that can be changed on DIP switch block SW3 when programming the 6416Y2 manually. Remember that any combination of DIP switches 1-4 can be used to allow remote control data to be sent to a specific range of active Pro64 mic preamp channels.
Baud Rate Table Use the following table to set baud rates for DIP switches 5-8 in Switch Block SW4. The down position is off and the up position is on for each DIP switch.
DIP Switch Block 8 (SW8) SW8 is used to select either RS-232 or RS-422 operation for the data port on the 6416Y2 card and to assign these ports to the 14 available VDC Slots in the Pro64 network. Block SW8 has ten individual DIP switches, whose functions are outlined in the table below.
VDC Slot Assignments - Backplane VDC Port Combinations of switches 2, 3, and 4 within SW8 are used to assign Virtual Data Cable Slots for the backplane VDC port. The following table lists the possible settings for the 14 VDC Slots available in a Pro64 network. Note that RS-232/422 communication always requires a pair of Virtual Data Cable Slots and that this pair must always be an odd-even combination of VDCs. The down position is off and the up position is on for each DIP switch.
VDC Slot Assignments - Front Panel VDC Port Switches 5, 6, and 7 are used to assign Virtual Data Cable Slots for the front panel RS-232/422 VDC port. The following table lists the possible settings for the 14 VDC Slot assignments available in a Pro64 network. RS-232/422 communication always requires a pair of Virtual Data Cable Slots; this pair must always be an oddeven combination of VDCs. The default setting for DIP switch 1 in block SW8 is RS-232.
DIP Switch Block 9 (SW9) Switch Block SW9 controls network-level functions and A-Net transmit/receive settings.
A-Net Receive Settings (Manual Mode) The 6416Y2 can receive A-Net data from the Pro64 network from Port A or Port B when the network is running in Manual Mode. (This setting does not apply when the network is operating in Auto Mode; both ports supply identical data.) Use DIP switch 4 to direct A-Net data from a specific 6416Y2 port to the Yamaha device.
Managed Mode Switch 10 in Switch Block SW9 sets the Pro64 network to operate in Managed Mode which is used when updating firmware or whenever a computer is in control of a Pro64 network using Pro64 Network Manager software.
Configuring the 6416Y2 Card The diagrams below details the functions of the 6416Y2 card’s DIP switch blocks on the front panel and circuit board that will be used in the configurations that follow.
6416Y2 as Control Master On the front panel of the 6416Y2 card, DIP switch #12 is used to set the card as the network’s Control Master— move it to the down position to make the 6416Y2 card the network’s Control Master. When the 6416Y2 card is the Control Master, it is also automatically the network Clock Master, deriving the clock from the Yamaha host device. RS–232/422 B A ON STEREO LINK 6416Y2 AUTO CLK CTL ERR This card is set to be the Control Master; DIP switch #12 is in the down position.

Auto Mode provides 64 total channels/Slots at 44.1 or 48kHz, and 32 total channels/Slots at 88.2 or 96kHz. Cables can be connected to any available A-Net port.
Choose I/O Settings When programming a 6416Y2 card manually using its on-board DIP switches, use switch block SW9 to set the range of Slots (in blocks of 16 channels) that each 6416Y2 card will use when transmitting/receiving audio. When programming the card using Pro64 Network Manager, these DIP switch settings are ignored. DIP switches #7 and #8 are used for the receive Slot range, in groups of 16 channels (1-16, 17-32, 33-48, or 49-64).
Activate Channels/Slots Once the Transmit base Slot range has been selected, use DIP switch blocks SW1 and SW2 to activate up to 16 individual Slots in that range, which sends audio from the Yamaha console (or DME) into the Pro64 network. No audio will flow from the Yamaha device into the Pro64 network unless the Slots are activated with these switches. Move a DIP switch to the up (on) position to activate it, sending audio into the Pro64 network.
Sample System The following examples show 6416Y2 card settings that can be used as starting points for creating a system. Note that each diagram shows settings required when the cards are programmed manually using their on-board DIP switches. The process can be simplified by using Pro64 Network Manager software. Simply set the card for Managed Mode and then program the I/O routing from within the Pro64 Network Manager software.

As with card #2, none of its Slots are transmitted back into the network even though the range is set to Slots 49-64.
m-control With m-control™ for Yamaha digital consoles, the mic preamps on Pro64 devices such as the 6416m Mic Input Module and AllFrame can be remote controlled directly from a Yamaha console’s user interface when a 6416Y2 A-Net Interface Card is installed. Using m-control, an engineer has direct access to the Pro64 mic preamp’s gain control, +48V phantom power, and high pass (low cut) filter. Up to 64 channels of Pro64 mic preamps can be controlled from a Yamaha console.
determine a Pro64 product’s firmware version and to update it to the latest version. The current version of the Pro64 Network Manager application and all associated Pro64 firmware update files are available on the Aviom website free of charge. For best performance always use the latest revision of the firmware in all Pro64 devices. DB9 Cables Using m-control requires at least one 6416Y2 and one 6416m or AllFrame.
Supported Remote Control Features When using Pro64’s m-control feature, note that only parameters available natively on the Yamaha control surface itself and supported by the Yamaha interface can be controlled on Pro64 mic preamps remotely. These include channel preamp gain, low cut filter (referred to as a high pass filter in the Yamaha interface), and +48V phantom power on the 6416m and AllFrame.
Channel Count and Control As with audio I/O, the exact number of Aviom mic pre channels that can be controlled from a console is determined by the Yamaha device’s expansion capability, the number of 6416Y2 cards that the host’s power supply subsystem can support, the current MY mode being used (MY8 or MY16) and the current sample rate being used. Each MY expansion slot on a Yamaha console provides up to 16 channels of I/O and remote control functionality.
DIP Switches When programming a 6416Y2 card manually, DIP switches in block SW3 allow the user to choose a specific Pro64 channel/Slot range to control (in groups of 16 channels) as well as the total number of Pro64 channels available for remote control (subject to the limits of the host console’s expansion capability as mentioned previously.) This allows multiple consoles to be used in the same Pro64 network, each with unique m-control settings.
SW3 Settings The following table shows the parameters that can be changed on DIP switch block SW3.
Control Group DIP Switch 7 DIP Switch 8 1 Down Down 2 Up Down 3 Down Up 4 Up Up The Channel/Slot Control settings are separate from the audio I/O setup (including A-Net Transmit and Receive settings). This parameter sets up remote control communications for all 6416Y2 cards installed in the same console. Each 6416Y2 card needs its A-Net Transmit and A-Net Receive range properly configured in order to get the desired results for your application.
or disengaged on the Pro64 mic preamp, audio will mute briefly while the pad state is changed via relays to avoid unwanted noise in the audio system. To separate the mic preamp gain from the pad, choose the Manual Pad setting. When using Manual Pad the preamp gain range is 56dB (displayed as 0 to +55 on Aviom devices). The 56dB range is mapped to the 73 available steps of the Yamaha control.
Signal Routing to the Console Routing channels to/from MY expansion cards can be accomplished directly from the Yamaha console’s user interface or with a computer using the optional Studio Manager software (available from the Yamaha website at http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/downloads). In order to route channels in the console to and from the 6416Y2 cards, be sure that A-Net Transmit and Receive settings on the 6416Y2 cards (Slot range and channel activation) are properly configured.
LS9 Console Setup Access to external head amp settings on the LS9 series consoles is available from the Rack 5-8 screens, accessed by repeatedly pressing the Rack 5-8 button found on the left side of the LS9 top panel until the External HA screen is displayed. Press the Rack 5-8 button to access the LS9 External HA settings.
The LS9 External HA screen includes the following setting: • • • • 1. COMM Port Setting — Set this to the same MY expansion slot where the 6416Y2 card being used for console remote control is installed. Setting this field to the Off setting (----) will stop all remote control communication. Use the Dec/Inc keys to select a port, and then press the Enter key. 2.
The highlighted area of the channel strip screen shows the patching for an external mic preamp from channel #1 of MY expansion slot card #1 to the LS9-32 mixer’s fader 33. Channel strips on the LS9 can be patched individually to create virtually any arrangement of its audio sources. To change a routing, select the current assignment from the channel strip view and press the Enter key to bring up the input port routing page.
M7CL Console Setup The M7CL comes in two sizes, 32 and 48 channels. Both consoles have three MY expansion slots and can accept up to three 6416Y2 A-Net Interface cards (48 channels total). The M7CL External HA screens will show six groups of eight remote controllable preamps maximum. Access to external head amp settings on the M7CL consoles is available from the Virtual Rack window, available by pressing the Rack button in the Function Access Area of the console’s touchscreen.
The M7CL External HA screen includes the following settings: • • • 1. Remote Preamps ID — Available remote controllable preamps are shown in groups of eight channels; note that the remote device name is always displayed as “AD8HR.” The red “+48V Master” text indicates that the remote AD8HR preamp’s master on/off switch for phantom power is on. The 6416m does not have a separate phantom power master on/off switch, so this parameter will always be on. 2.
Channels from external head amps are assigned in groups of eight, 1-8 and 9-16. The diagram above shows a console that has three expansion cards installed, for a total of 48 remote controllable channels. Assigning Remote Preamp Channels to the M7CL Individual channels on an M7CL can be patched to use any available audio resource, including the console’s rear panel mic/line analog inputs or digital audio coming into the console via MY expansion cards.
Click on one of the Input Patch assignments to change its source. The diagram above shows console channel #1 getting its audio from the first channel of the first MY expansion slot. Repeat this procedure as needed for any channels that need to be changed. These Input Patch assignments will save and recall with the M7CL scene memories. This close-up diagram of the External HA screen shows all editable parameters and routing info.
Remote Control of Yamaha Mic Preamps Pro64 Virtual Data Cables can be used to send control data from a Yamaha digital console to Yamaha remotecontrollable mic preamps such as the AD8HR. The Yamaha devices communicate using RS-422 at a 38.4k baud rate, with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. Two Pro64 devices with built-in RS-422 capabilities are required to send Yamaha remote control information. The 6416Y2 A-Net Interface Card and the 6416dio Digital I/O Module both have RS-422 capability.
Baud Rates All devices connected in this application need to be set to the same baud rate. Configure the 6416Y2 card’s DIP switches before installing it in the Yamaha console; its settings cannot be accessed once the card is installed. Set up the devices as follows: RS-422 Port Baud Rate Data Bits Stop Bits Parity Yamaha Console 38.4 k 8 1 none 6416Y2 card 38.4 k 8 1 none Remote Pro64 device 38.

6416Y2 Card Troubleshooting The following section provides troubleshooting tips for the 6416Y2 card. Problem Error updating the firmware when a 6416Y2 card is the Control Master Possible Solutions Use a different Pro64 device as Control Master temporarily. Check the baud rate settings: Confirm that on SW4, switches 2, 5 and 8 are in the up position. Check SW8, DIP switch #9. It must be down for RS-232 communication Only one 6416Y2 needs to be set as the Control Master.
Problem m-control is not working as expected Possible Solutions Make sure that all Pro64 devices have the most recent firmware installed in them. The 6416Y2 card must be installed in MY expansion slot #1 on any Yamaha host device that sends its remote control communications via the backplane connector (LS9, M7CL-ES, and CL Series).
