n
If the Yamaha console is providing its internal word clock to a Dante-MY16-AUD2 card, the sample
rate is incorrect
o
All installed Dante-MY16-AUD2 cards should be set to the same sample rate as the selected
Yamaha internal clock
Symptom: Audio only appears on every second channel @ 88.2kHz
or 96kHz
Some Yamaha equipment supports both a ‘double channel’ and a ‘double speed’ mode when operating at
88.2 kHz or 96kHz.
Dante-MY16-AUD2 cards will only operate in ‘double speed’ mode. Ensure that your Yamaha equipment is
configured accordingly.
If ‘double channel’ mode is selected, audio from Dante-MY16-AUD2 cards will be interleaved: For
example, Dante channels 1 and 2 will appear on channel 1 of the Yamaha device, with a sample of each
channel played out alternately.
Dante Configuration: Clock
It is possible to incorrectly configure system word clocks and clock directions. Please refer to
for detailed information and diagrams.
How do I know if my clock is incorrectly configured?
If your overall system clock is incorrectly configured:
n
You may see console warning messages
n
The Dante-MY16-AUD2 card ‘Error’ LED may remain orange
n
You may hear corrupt audio
How do I fix it?
Use Dante Controller Clock Status tab to view the clock configuration for all the Dante devices on the
network.
n
There Can Be Only One
Primary Clock Master
n
There should usually be only one clock set to ‘External’
n
‘Preferred Master’ setting to be avoided unless advanced design and configuration is required
Next, check your Yamaha equipment clock configuration:
n
If an external clock source is used to drive the Dante PTP Clock Master, ensure it is using the cor-
rect sample rate and the Dante-MY16-AUD2 card is set to 'Enable Sync To External'
n
Check clock signal routing to other digital networks for loops
Symptom: Orange ‘Error’ light with green ‘Sync’ light
This indicates a clock sync issue between the host Yamaha equipment and the Dante-MY16-AUD2
displaying this condition. This could either be because your clock configuration is wrong, or you have
incorrectly configured sample rates.
