Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the RUio16-D audio interface. This product is for use by
sound engineers, and uses VST plug-ins to expand the effects used by mixers.
Make sure to read through this Owner’s Manual before using this product to make
effective use of its various features. Also, make sure to keep this manual on hand
after you have read it.
Main Features
• Dante-Analog-USB audio
interface
This product features 16 Dante input/
outputs and two analog input/outputs,
and a maximum of 16 inputs can be
selected to transmit data to a
computer via USB. It can be used for a
wide variety of applications, such as
acoustic measurement utilizing the
+48V phantom power built into the
analog inputs, outputting audio via
Dante processed with effects by a
computer to a mixer to create a plug-in
system and so on.
• Rock-solid housing
This product features a compact yet
rock-solid housing, designed to stand
up to the rigors of touring. EtherCON
has been added to the Dante input/
output connectors, and the analog
input jacks use an XLR design with
latch. The USB-C port also features a
locking mechanism to minimize the risk
of trouble due to cables getting
yanked out.
• Highly reliable plug-in
solutions made possible
Along with the use of the Yamaha
software-based VST Rack, this product
makes it possible to build a highly
stable plug-in environment. In the
event that a problem occurs with the
VST Rack, the unit will automatically
bypass the audio processing on the
plug-in side, which prevents any
trouble that might stop the sound on
the entire system.

5 Dante [PRIMARY] connector
Dante [SECONDARY]
connector
This is an etherCON jack to which you
connect Dante-enabled devices like a
Yamaha digital mixer, using an
Ethernet cable (CAT5e or better is
recommended).
NOTICE
Use an STP (shielded twisted pair cable) to
avoid electromagnetic interference. Make
sure that the gold part of the connector and
the cable shield are securely in contact by
using conductor tape or similar material.
NOTE
• The etherCON latch faces downward on this
product. Use caution when unplugging the
cable.
• Do not connect devices besides those which
are Dante-enabled or support GbE
(including computers).
• Cables up to a length of 100 m
*1
can be
used.
*1: This length may differ depending on the
cable type.
• Do not use the EEE function
*2
of network
switches in a Dante network.
Although power management should be
negotiated automatically in switches that
support EEE, some switches do not perform
the negotiation properly.
This may cause EEE to be enabled in Dante
networks when it is not appropriate, resulting
in poor clock synchronization performance
and occasional audio dropouts.
Therefore, we strongly recommend the
following:
- When using a managed switch, turn off the
EEE function on all ports used by Dante.
Do not use a switch on which the EEE
function cannot be disabled.
- For unmanaged switches, do not use a
switch that supports the EEE function.
These switches cannot turn off the EEE
function.
*2: EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is a
technology that reduces switch power
consumption the Ethernet devices during
periods of low network traffic. This is also
known as Green Ethernet or IEEE802.3az.
6 [LINK/ACT] indicators
These indicators flash when the Dante
[PRIMARY]/[SECONDARY] connectors
are connected to a Dante network.
7 [1G] indicators
These indicators light up when the
Dante [PRIMARY]/[SECONDARY]
connectors are connected to a Dante
network on a gigabit connection.
Using the 5V DC IN jack
Even when this unit is connected
to a computer, you can power this
unit from an external power supply
via the [5V DC IN] jack if the
[POWER SOURCE] switch is
switched to [5V DC IN]. Using an
external power supply prevents
the unit from operating erratically
due to insufficient power from your
computer’s USB port, and
prevents noise-related problems
caused by the power supply.

Basic Operations
With this unit, you can process the signals from a Dante-enabled device such a
digital mixer that are coming into input channels 1–16, send them to your computer
via USB, process the signals using the effects in VST Rack, output the resulting
signals via Dante channels 1–16 and play them back on the Dante-enabled device.
NOTE
• Use the Dante Controller for Dante audio patching.
• Check the sounds below in your headphones as necessary.
DANTE 15-16 switch OFF: MONITOR L/R (17/18) on your computer
DANTE 15-16 switch ON: Dante 15/16 input to this unit
Example Using Analog Input/Output
You can use analog I/O channels 15/16 for various applications while applying
effects to the signals of Dante channels 1–14.
Example 1: Using the unit as a two-channel effect processor for
an analog mixer
• This processes the audio signal from analog input jacks 15/16 using the effects in VST
Rack, and outputs to analog.

How to Connect via
Dante
There are two ways to connect this
product to a Dante network.
Daisy Chain Network
A daisy chain is a wiring scheme in
which multiple devices are connected
together in sequence. In this way,
networking is simple and requires no
network switches.
Star Connection
With a star connection, the network
switches are at the center of the
network, to which other devices are
connected. This kind of connection will
also support large-scale networks over
a wide range of bands, through the
use of network switches that support
GbE. For star connections, we
recommend using network switches
that offer a variety of functions to
control and monitor networks (such as
clock synchronization of desired data
lines, QoS for prioritizing audio
transmission and so on).
Also, by creating a redundant network
when using a star connection, you can
build an environment that is much
