Yamaha RUIO16-D Dante-USB-Analog Audio Interface
The RUIO16-D is a 16x16 channel Dante interface featuring USB and analog input/output jacks and ports, and is useful in a wide range of applications including a on & off ramp for deployment of plug-ins in a live setting. Use this product in conjunction with the bundled VST Rack Pro software to create a flexible, stable plug-in environment.
VST Rack software is a plug-in host application for Mac and Windows that enables audio processing using a variety of VST plug-in effects, such as reverbs, maximizers, compressors, and limiters. It uses Steinberg’s audio engine, which has a good reputation for its use in Nuendo and Cubase, to provide sound engineers with a high-quality and stable plug-in environment.
