R Series (AD/DA) 3rd-generation

Third-generation Dante AD/DA I/O racks with improved dynamic range (120 dB), AES/EBU monitoring outputs and streamlined control, compatible with RIVAGE PM and DM7 systems.

Sampling frequency: 44.1 / 48 / 88.2 / 96 kHz (external sync; ±200 ppm) Dynamic range: 120 dB typ. (DA converter); 115 dB (input to output) Signal delay: Less than 1.7 ms (Fs=96 kHz, Dante receive latency 0.25 ms)

The Rio3224-D3 and Rio1608-D3 are Yamaha's third-generation Dante AD/DA I/O racks, delivering a 120 dB dynamic range and improved signal transparency over their D2 predecessors. They are the preferred stagebox solution for RIVAGE PM and DM7 systems, supporting up to 32 mic/line inputs (Rio3224-D3) or 16 inputs (Rio1608-D3) with full recall over Dante.

Both models add AES/EBU monitoring outputs to the D2 feature set, providing a digital I/O path directly from the rack without an expansion card. Dual redundant power supplies (field-installable) and etherCON locking network connectors suit demanding touring and permanent installation environments.

Key Features

120 dB Dynamic Range

Third-generation AD/DA converters achieve 120 dB dynamic range, a measurable improvement over D2 models (112 dB), ensuring the I/O rack is never the limiting factor in a high-end signal path.

AES/EBU Outputs

Integrated AES/EBU digital outputs provide a direct digital feed to power amplifiers or speaker processors without an additional expansion card or outboard conversion.

Dante Primary/Secondary

etherCON Primary/Secondary Dante ports support full audio redundancy, protecting the network audio path against single-cable failures during live events.

Redundant Power

Field-installable dual redundant power supply option eliminates the rack as a single point of failure in mission-critical permanent installations.
