The Yamaha Rio3224-D3 is a Dante networked I/O rack for rental use, providing 32 analog inputs, 16 analog outputs, and 8 digital outputs with built-in 32-bit AD/DA conversion. It is designed for low noise and high dynamic range to preserve natural sonic characteristics, while offering on-board monitoring and flexible routing for live sound and installed systems.

Key Features

• 32 analog inputs, 16 analog outputs, and 8 digital outputs for large I/O counts from a single remote rack.
• Built-in Dante audio networking for low-latency multichannel transport over standard Ethernet infrastructure.
• Improved dynamic range and lower noise floor supported by 32-bit AD/DA converters, suitable for critical live and FOH applications.
• Delay, polarity, and gain control on output ports for quick corrective adjustments without returning to the console.
• On-unit mini LCD and I/O settings for straightforward configuration and status checks on site.
• Headphone jack for direct monitoring of inputs and outputs at the rack location.
• Dedicated control network port to separate Dante audio traffic from console or ProVisionaire control connections.
• Redundant power supplies to increase reliability in critical live environments.

Use Cases

• Remote stage I/O for touring bands or festivals where large numbers of inputs are required and audio must be sent over Dante to FOH or broadcast consoles.
• Installed systems in theaters, houses of worship, and corporate venues that need a stable, networked I/O rack with local monitoring and output control.
• Temporary rigs where quick setup and on-rack troubleshooting are beneficial, using the LCD and headphone monitoring for fast verification.

Included with your rental

• Yamaha Rio3224-D3 I/O rack with redundant power supplies installed.
• Standard IEC power cable for the unit. Additional power distribution, Dante/network cables, and audio snakes are available on request.
• Basic rack ears and mounting hardware as required for standard 19-inch rack installation.

Operational notes

The Rio3224-D3 is intended to be used with compatible consoles such as Yamaha RIVAGE PM and DM7 Series, or any Dante-enabled mixing system. For larger setups, deploy standard Dante redundancy practices and separate control and audio networks using the dedicated control port to minimize traffic and simplify remote management.
