The Yamaha Rio1608-D3 is the third generation of high-performance I/O rack units with built-in Dante audio networking. Designed and manufactured to achieve outstanding sonic transparency in keeping with Yamaha's "natural sound" philosophy, they play a vital role in supporting the performance capabilities of the associated console, offer extensive freedom for placement and multi-unit combinations, and allow redundancy for high reliability. The Rio1608-D3 is not only a standard component of the RIVAGE PM7 Digital Mixing System, but is also fully compatible with the critically-acclaimed DM7 Series family of consoles, offering excellent audio and operational performance that makes the most of Dante networking potential.

Improved dynamic range and lower noise floor
Rio-D3 improved the noise level from the previous models, especially the noise level for the lower gain position. Rio-D3 inherits Yamaha's natural sound concept - the ideal starting point for sound creation is a totally natural or transparent sound. It will provide natural sound with a lower noise level in any gain position.

Delay/Polarity/Gain function on the output port
These new features provide Yamaha mixer systems with even greater flexibility. The addition of Output Port Delay, which was requested on the RIVAGE PM system, enhances the system's appeal.
