Excellent tool

This is an excellent low cost Dante IO interface- The preamps sound fine. IMNSHO, folx's preoccupation with "How the preamp sounds" is misplaced. It's the LEAST important component of the system. No on'e live music experience got ruined or significantly enhanced because of a preamp. Lack of gain sharing limits usability in some scenarios, but id you need that, buy a Rio.

From live performances to studio recordings, the Tio1608-D2 16-Input Digital Stage Box with Dante is a robust, versatile, and high-definition solution for your audio needs. This Dante-compatible I/O rack is equipped with 16 mic/line inputs and 8 line outputs, providing a wide range of connectivity options for your audio devices.

Designed for professional use, the Tio1608-D2 can remotely control gain from Yamaha's TF Series and DM3 consoles, simplifying the construction of a stagebox system. Its support for 96k makes it an ideal choice for large installations, working seamlessly with products such as the RIVAGE PM or DME7.

The Tio1608-D2 leverages the versatility and scalability of the Dante audio network standard, which is utilized in the DM3 and TF series, as well as in the CL and QL digital mixers. This allows for flexible system creation that matches your specific scale and budget requirements. Patching can be enabled via the "Dante Controller", while Remote HA can be controlled by the "R Remote" software.

The Tio1608-D2 is not just a stagebox, it's a tool that enhances the convenience of your console. It can be connected to up to three Tio1608-D2 units using the optional NY64-D expansion card for the TF Series, or to a single unit for the DM3. Connection is made easy with a lightweight, durable CAT5e Ethernet cable in a daisy chain, providing low-latency, high-quality sound transmission.

The Tio1608-D2 utilizes the Dante High Reliability Network Audio Protocol, adopted by leading manufacturers and professionals in the sound reinforcement industry for its low jitter, low latency, and high sampling accuracy. This allows for the configuration of a high-performance Dante stagebox system with minimal IT networking knowledge.

The Tio1608-D2 also features recallable D-PRE preamplifiers, inherited from the TF Series, which provide a consistent, natural, and musical sound throughout the entire system. With its easy configuration, flexible input selection, and high-quality sound, the Tio1608-D2 16-Input Digital Stage Box with Dante is a reliable and professional choice for your audio needs.
