The recent v5.6 firmware update for Yamaha’s CL/QL digital mixing console series has added preamp remote control options for Neutrik’s new NA2-IO-DPro Dante audio network device.

‘There’s no doubt that the future within the professional A/V market is based on interoperability between different devices within an application,’ says Florian Frick, Product Manager for Neutrik. ‘We have found the perfect partner with Yamaha to enable this feature for better ease of use and enhanced customer experience.’

With the CL/QL firmware update, Yamaha added this specific support for Neutrik’s small but powerful I/O solution, adding more flexibility in a network set-up for line, mic and AES signals.

‘Yamaha is delighted to have been able to integrate control of the NA2-IO-DPro into the CL/QL series with the release of our V5.6 firmware,’ says Motome Tanaka, Yamaha Manager, Marketing & Sales Group. ‘This collaboration further extends the options for CL/QL systems. In combination with the R series, customers can make their systems even more flexible.’

Using the DPro on a truss for example is a convenient way to establish ambient miking with short cable runs; remote controlling it via Yamaha CL/QL consoles is a real improvement for a pro A/V work environment.
