Dante-MY16-AUD2 Device Name
By default the device name for Dante-MY16-AUD2 cards is MY16-2-nnnnnn, where nnnnnn is a unique
alphanumeric identifier consisting of the last six digits of the MAC address. This is the name the card will
have when you first use it.
It is possible to replace the Dante-MY16-AUD2 card default device name with a custom, user-defined
name. To do this open Device View in Dante Controller, select the card you wish to modify in the Device
View, and change the Device Name in the Device Config tab.
Note: If you rename a device, you must re-establish any existing audio routes to and from the re-
named device using its new name.
Please refer to your Dante Controller manual for more information on renaming devices.
Dante-MY16-AUD2 Default Sample Rate
By default, the Dante-MY16-AUD2 card is configured to operate using a 48kHz sample rate. Audio routes
can only be set up between devices that are operating at the same sample rate.
It is possible to change the sample rate to 44.1kHz, 88.2kHz or 96kHz. To do this, open Device View in
Dante Controller, select the card you wish to modify in the Device View, and change the sample rate using
New Sample Rate in the Device Config tab.
For 88.1kHz and 96kHz, you may need to set your Yamaha equipment to 'double-speed', NOT 'double-
channel'. Please refer to the section
Configuring your Yamaha Equipment
Note: If you change the sample rate of your Dante-MY16-AUD2 card you MUST power-cycle the
host Yamaha Equipment that it is installed in. You may also need to
change your Yamaha
equipment's word clock settings
. Please refer to the later section
for further information.
Note: Dante-MY16-AUD2 cards installed in the same piece of Yamaha equipment MUST all be set
to the same sample rate. Please refer to your Dante Controller manual for more information on
changing sample rate.
Pull-up/down
You can also apply sample rate pull-up/down. The pull-up/down setting adjusts the sample rate of the
device to synchronize audio with video that has undergone frame rate conversion. For example, to
synchronize Dante audio with video that has been converted from 24 fps to 25 fps, set the sample rate pull-
up/down for any relevant Dante audio devices to +4.1667%. Devices with pull-up/down use a dedicated
clock domain. See the
for more information.
AES67 Config
For Dante-MY16-AUD2 cards, the Device View also includes an AES67 Config tab. The AES67 Config
tab allows the selection of AES67 mode for the device.
