Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha MY16-mLAN.
The MY16-mLAN is an interface card that features an mLAN interface. mLAN is a digital
network designed for music and is based on the IEEE1394 high performance serial bus
and data communication protocol. mLAN makes it easy to construct sophisticated net-
works for IEEE1394 (FireWire/i.LINK) audio and MIDI signals without having to re-con-
figure the cabling, as was necessary in older, conventional systems.
This interface card adds two mLAN connectors to MY16-mLAN compatible devices
such as the 02R96 and 01V96 digital mixing consoles, or the DM2000 and DM1000
digital production consoles.
In order to take full advantage of the MY16-mLAN’s functionality, please read this man-
ual carefully. After reading this manual, please keep it available for future reference.
