Thank you for choosing the Audinate Dante-MY16-AUD2 Interface Card. This card is an expansion card for
use with compatible Yamaha professional audio equipment. It allows the transmission and reception of up to 32
(16x16) channels at 44.1kHz or 48kHz, or 16 (8x8) channels at 88.2kHz or 96kHz of uncompressed 16, 24 or 32-
bit digital audio data, using Audinate’s Dante™ audio networking standard.
Dante allows real-time very low latency transmission and reception of multiple channels of uncompressed digital
audio over IP networks and Gigabit or 100Megabit Ethernet. A single 1Gigabit link can handle many hundreds of
bidirectional channels of audio data on a network shared with control and other traffic.
In order to take full advantage of this product and of Dante networking we strongly recommend that you read
this guide thoroughly and keep it in a safe place for further reference. Also ensure that you consult the additional
