Yamaha MY16 Series — buyer FAQs
What is the Yamaha MY16 Series and what does it do?
The Yamaha MY16 Series is a family of Mini-YGDAI expansion cards that add I/O and processing capabilities to compatible Yamaha digital mixing consoles, processors and power amplifiers. Individual cards cover formats including ADAT, AES/EBU, MADI and TDIF-1, as well as network audio via CobraNet. Some cards also enable the addition of LAKE processing and automatic mixing functions to a compatible system.
Who makes the MY16 Series and where does it fit in the Yamaha range?
The MY16 Series is made by Yamaha, a Japanese corporation whose Pro Audio division produces equipment for live sound and installation, including digital mixing consoles, signal processors, power amplifiers and speakers used in touring, broadcast and venue environments. The MY16 cards sit within that ecosystem as a modular expansion layer, allowing operators to tailor the I/O format of compatible Yamaha hardware to the requirements of a specific system or venue.
What audio formats and channel counts do the different MY16 cards support?
The MY16-AT delivers 16-in/16-out ADAT via four optical connectors, the MY16-AE delivers 16-in/16-out AES/EBU via two D-sub 25-pin connectors, and the MY16-TD delivers 16-in/16-out TDIF-1 via two D-sub 25-pin connectors. All three operate at 24-bit resolution and drop to 8-in/8-out at 96kHz. The MY16-MD64 provides 16-channel MADI I/O expandable to 64-in/64-out with MY16-EX expansion cards, using BNC and optical connectors alongside RJ45 ports for expansion.
What is the MY16-MD64 best suited to?
The MY16-MD64 adds 16 channels of MADI input and output to devices with Mini-YGDAI slots and is expandable to up to 64-in/64-out with MY16-EX cards. Its reliability over long distances makes it suited to multi-room production facilities, outdoor broadcast venues and large live sound and recording applications. It provides BNC and optical connectors for MADI I/O alongside RJ45 connectors for MY16-EX connection.
What should I check when buying a used Yamaha MY16 Series card?
Confirm which specific card variant is being sold, since the AT, AE, TD, MD64 and CII each serve different formats and the wrong card will not suit your system. Verify that the card is compatible with the Mini-YGDAI slot on your console, processor or amplifier. Check connector condition, particularly the optical ports on ADAT and MADI cards.
