Yamaha RIO3224D3 DANTE rack-mountable I/O, 32 mic/line inputs - remote head amps, 16 line outputs, 4 Stereo AES/EBU,
Details
Yamaha RIO3224-D3 is a Dante-compatible unit featuring 32 analogue inputs, 16 analogue outputs, and 8 digital AES/EBU outputs, enabling flexible system configuration with Yamaha digital mixers and processors. The Rio3224-D3 is housed in a sleek, sturdy chassis and features a redundant power supply that ensures serious reliability, while the newly added headphone socket and output delay provide additional versatility.
The Yamaha Rio3224-D3 is a third-generation Dante-connected I/O rack engineered for demanding professional audio environments. Designed to integrate seamlessly with Yamaha’s digital mixing platforms, it provides a scalable and highly flexible solution for live sound, fixed installation and broadcast applications.
With 32 remote-controllable microphone/line inputs and 16 analogue outputs, alongside additional AES/EBU digital outputs, the Rio3224-D3 enables efficient stage-to-network connectivity over standard Ethernet infrastructure. Its Dante architecture supports low-latency, high-channel-count audio distribution, allowing system designers to deploy decentralised I/O with confidence.
The D3 generation introduces enhanced audio performance, delivering lower noise and improved dynamic range to ensure precise signal capture at source. This provides engineers with a clean, transparent foundation for mixing and processing in even the most critical applications.
Built for reliability in professional environments, the unit features dual redundant power supplies and supports redundant Dante networking for uninterrupted operation. A third network port enables separation of control and audio traffic—particularly valuable in complex installed systems—while onboard output processing (delay, phase and level control) allows greater system optimisation directly within the rack.
Additional enhancements such as a front-panel headphone output provide convenient local monitoring, streamlining commissioning and troubleshooting workflows. Combined with seamless compatibility across Yamaha’s RIVAGE PM, DM7, CL and QL console ranges, the Rio3224-D3 is a robust and future-ready I/O solution for modern networked audio systems.
