Head Amp Control
The Ri8-D head amplifiers can be remotely controlled
from a host device, such as a compatible Yamaha digital
mixing console.

Control from an Ri8-D-native

Device

The Ri8-D head amplifiers can be controlled remotely
from an Ri8-D-native digital mixi ng console, such as a CL
series product.
The connected Ri8-D-native device displays the model
name and UNIT ID number of the corresponding Ri8-D
unit to be controlled.
If you plan to connect a device that features Ri8-D-native
support to monitor and control the head amplifiers, refer to
the owner’s manual for the corresponding device.

Control from a Device That

Does Not Feature Ri8-D-Native

Support

This section explains how to configure the Ri8-D settings
that are required to control the Ri8-D as AD8HR units
from a device that does not feature Ri8-D-native support.
For more information, please refer to the “Dante-MY
16-AUD & R Series HA Remote Control Guide” that is
downloadable from the website listed below.

NOTE
The following Yamaha non-Ri8-D-native devices enable
you to control the Ri8-D as AD8HRs. Insert the
Dante-MY16-AUD card which is a firmware controllable as
AD8HR into the Mini-YGDAI slot for connection.
M7CL, LS9, DM1000, DM2000, PM5D/DSP5D,
DME64N/24N
Setting the DIP Switches
While the power to the unit is off, flip DIP switch 5 down
and DIP switch 6 up.
NOTE
If REMOTE has been set to [AD8HR], START UP MODE
will be set to [RESUME] regardless of the DIP switch
setting.
Setting the UNIT ID
Setting the Ri8-D in [AD8HR] will set UNIT ID as virtual
ID (as AD8HR Device ID).
If you combine Rio3224-D or Rio1608-D or add an
AD8HR or SB168-ES in the network, make sure that the
IDs are all unique.
Set the Ri8-D correctly so that you can control it as
AD8HRs. In addition, scene recall can be used to recall all
head amplifier settings at once. Refer to the digital mixing
console owner’s manual for details on head amplifier
control.
