Features
Long-distance Dante Network Capability
Low-latency, low-jitter audio can be transferred over
distances up to 100 meters* between devices via standard
Ethernet cables using the Dante network protocol. The Rio
can be used as a general-purpose I/O box for the Dante
network. Supported sampling rates are 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz,
88.2 kHz, and 96 kHz.
* Maximum practical distance may vary according to the cable used.
Remotely Controllable Internal Head
Amplifiers
Internal head amplifier parameters can be remotely
controlled from a compatible device, such as the CL series,
or from a computer application “R Remote.”
Digital Outputs (Rio3224-D only)
The Rio3224-D features XLR-3-32 type balanced
connectors for AES/EBU format digital audio outputs.
Gain Compensation Function
If the Rio’s Gain Compensation function is enabled from a
supported device that lets you set gain compensation (such
as CL series products), the subsequent fluctuations in
analog gain will be compensated for by internal digital
gain. The audio signal will be output to a Dante network
with a gain level that was fixed immediately before the Gain
Compensation function was enabled. In this way, you can
set the gain individually for FOH and MONITOR even if
they share the same channel.
Direct Audio In/Out With a Connected
Computer
Connecting the Rio with a standard Ethernet cable to a
computer that has a Dante Virtual Soundcard installed
enables you to directly input or output audio signals
without using an audio interface device.
