Yamaha RUio0804-D 8-In/4-Out Dante 1U I/O Rack

Yamaha RUio0804-D 8-In/4-Out Dante 1U I/O Rack

The Yamaha RUio0804-D is a compact 1U Dante I/O rack designed to expand professional audio systems with eight analog inputs and four analog outputs. Primary and Secondary Dante network ports provide flexible network integration, making the RUio0804-D a practical solution when a live, installed, or production system needs additional analog connectivity without a large stage rack.

Built for live sound reinforcement, installed audio, corporate events, theaters, broadcast environments, and other Dante-based systems, the RUio0804-D adds focused I/O capacity while conserving rack space. It integrates with Yamaha digital mixing and processing platforms, allowing engineers and system designers to place analog connections where they are needed while transporting audio through an existing Dante network.

The RUio0804-D is part of Yamaha's R Series Utility I/O lineup and is designed to work with DM5, DM7, DM3, and RIVAGE PM systems. Support for Yamaha control software, including R Remote, ProVisionaire Design, and ProVisionaire Control PLUS, extends its usefulness beyond console-based operation and helps simplify configuration, monitoring, and system integration in professional networked-audio environments.

Key Features

• 8 Analog Inputs: Adds eight analog input channels to compatible professional audio and Dante network systems.
• 4 Analog Outputs: Provides four analog output channels for distributing signals to connected equipment.
• Primary and Secondary Dante: Dual Dante network connections support flexible professional network-audio deployment.
• Compact 1U Design: Fits the required analog and network connectivity into a space-efficient rackmount format.
• Yamaha Console Integration: Designed to work with compatible DM5, DM7, DM3, and RIVAGE PM digital mixing systems.
• Remote Configuration: R Remote support enables control of supported parameters without requiring a Yamaha mixing console.
• ProVisionaire Support: Compatible with Yamaha ProVisionaire software for integrated professional audio system configuration and control.
• Flexible I/O Expansion: Provides a targeted way to add analog connectivity without deploying a larger-capacity I/O rack.

Compact Dante I/O Expansion

The RUio0804-D is designed for systems that need a modest increase in analog connectivity rather than a large stage box. Eight inputs and four outputs provide useful expansion for microphone, line-level, processing, monitoring, and other professional audio workflows while the 1U chassis keeps rack-space requirements low.

Primary and Secondary Dante Networking

Primary and Secondary Dante ports connect the RUio0804-D to professional audio-over-IP networks. This architecture makes the interface suitable for systems where analog sources and destinations must be positioned away from a mixing console or processor while audio travels through the network infrastructure.

Integration with Yamaha Professional Audio Systems

Yamaha positions the RUio0804-D for use with its DM5, DM7, DM3, and RIVAGE PM digital mixing platforms. This compatibility allows existing Yamaha systems to gain additional analog inputs and outputs while retaining a Dante-based workflow across consoles, processors, and remote I/O devices.

Software-Based Control and System Management

Support for R Remote gives engineers another way to configure supported RUio parameters when a mixing console is not part of the workflow. Compatibility with ProVisionaire Design and ProVisionaire Control PLUS also makes the RUio0804-D suitable for integrated systems requiring centralized configuration, control, and monitoring.
