Yamaha DA824 8-Channel D/A Converter, Remote Output Component for DME Products

The DA824 is an eight-channel recording-quality D/A converter. It features a Mini-YGDAI card slot as its input so that you can use the DA824 as the back end of many digital devices, such as the DME32 or the 02R.

Making the connection

A connection can be made between the DA824 and another device by using any digital MY series card (AES/EBU, TASCAM, ADAT) in the DA824 to the same format on the sending device. For example, to connect the DA824 to the DME32, use an MY8-AE in the DA824 and another MY8-AE in the DME32 unit. The two units connect via an AES/EBU cable.

Remoting the I/O

Using a combination of remote AD824s and DA824s, one can place inputs and outputs throughout a facility as needed. By "remoting" the I/O, the signal can be kept in the digital realm where long transmission lines (up to 200 meters with an AES/EBU interface) are required. This keeps the sound quality pristine by preventing possible interference from RF or other factors that degrade analog signals
