SYNCHRONISATION MANAGEMENT 

 
Your AVY16-ES board must be synchronised with the related equipment. If this is not the 

case, or if the board is not properly synchronised, the audio data it will send or receive 
will be void.  

 
In case your AVY16-ES board is the first element of an EtherSound-based network, it will 

provide the clock to the network. The board will automatically connect on your Yamaha 
device. Your device must be internal clock configured or synchronised on the external 
wordclock (Fig 3). Please refer to your Yamaha user’s manual for more details about 

synchronisation.

In  case  your  AVY16-ES  board  is  part  of,  or  ends  the  EtherSound  network,  your  device 
must be synchronised on the EtherSound network. Therefore you should synchronise it 
on the YGDAI slot, where your AVY16-ES board is inserted (Fig 4).

network

 

 

 

In case you are connecting several AVY16-ES boards into the same Yamaha device, your 

device must be synchronised on the upstream board clock (see up). The other 
downstream boards will synchronise automatically on the clock (Fig 5).
