RUio16FLX-D - 16x16 analogue I/O, 16x16 Dante I/O, Euroblock connectors
RUio16FLX-D is a Dante-compatible I/O rack processor designed for use with DM series mixing consoles. The interface allows the user to freely select and combine sixteen I/O channels from analogue in, analogue out, and AES/EBU out. Sources can be selected in two-channel groups, so each unit can handle three sources simultaneously. Fitting into a 1U chassis, RUio16FLX-D has been designed for many applications, particularly when additional input or output channels may be needed in the future. To save space used for I/O connections, the interface employs Euroblock connectors on the rear facing panel. A built-in mini-LCD screen on the front facing panel allows the user to conveniently check and set Dante and input/output parameters directly, therefore removing the need to connect to a mixing console or PC. In the event of an error, the unit's keys and LEDs light up to alert the user to take action.
With compatibility with Yamaha's R Remote control app, RUio16FLX-D can be used as a lightweight, compact Dante interface with R Remote controlling HA gain and other parameters, for recording and other applications where a mixing desk is not needed.
