<h3>Yamaha Nuage I/O Nio500-A16 features in depth</h3>
The front panel of the Nuage I/O Nio500-A16 has 16 input meters and 16 output meters, plus LED indicators for sample rate from 44.1 to 192kHz, clock sources and sync. On the rear panel are Ethernet connectors for Dante accelerator  cards, word clock, cascade (for multiple Nuage I/O) and 16-channels of analog I/O via DB-25 connectors. <br><br>

Along with the Nuage I/O Nio500-A16, two other 16-channel models with different I/O configurations are available, including the <a href="/web/20150502003110/http://www.rspeaudio.com/Yamaha-Nuage-I-O-Digital-16-p/ymh-nuage-io-d16.htm" target="_blank" style="color:#000099; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;">Nio500-D16</a> 16 channels of AES/EBU I/O; and the <a href="/web/20150502003110/http://www.rspeaudio.com/Yamaha-Nuage-I-O-Analog-8-Digital-8-p/ymh-nuage-io-8x8.htm" target="_blank" style="color:#000099; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;">Nio500-A8D8</a> with a combination of 8 channels of analog and 8 channels of AES/EBU I/O. The Nuage I/O units connect to computers running Nuendo via the highly expandable <a href="/web/20150502003110/http://www.rspeaudio.com/Yamaha-Nuage-Dante-Accelerator-Card-p/ymh-nuage-dante.htm" target="_blank" style="color:#000099; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;">Dante digital audio protocol</a>, allowing multiple Nuage I/O units to be flexibly incorporated in a wide variety of system configurations.

<h3>Nuage I/O mastering-grade, audiophile sound quality</h3>
Yamaha’s decades of expertise in sculpturing sound, whether it’s applied to making their renowned concert grand pianos or digital recording gear, is the other essential component in the design of Nuage. The 24-bit/192kHz-hardware operation in the Nuage I/O units ensures that outstanding sonic detail and depth come through without compromise. The Nuage I/O units also feature advanced JetPLL™ jitter reduction technology for extremely low jitter and superior AD/DA resolution. The overall result is simply outstanding sound, no matter how complex the mix, or how much processing is applied. <br><br>

<h3>Ultra-low latency via True Integrated Monitoring</h3>
Nothing is more frustrating or obstructive to artists and musicians trying to give their all than dealing with latency when trying to lay down tracks in the studio. Expressive performance, not to mention timing, goes out the window when even the slightest amount latency is perceptible during tracking. The Nuage I/O units make latency issues a problem of the past thanks to advanced audio interface DSP hardware and Yamaha’s trademarked True Integrated Monitoring, which reduces monitoring latency to well below the perception threshold of even the most sensitive performer. True Integrated Monitoring works flawlessly with the Nuendo Control Room monitoring, which features a 32-port bus cascade that enables 32 audio busses to be shared between up to eight Nuage I/O devices, plus a 16x16 monitor matrix that provides expandability and easy setup.<br><br>

<h3>State-of-the-art surround DSP</h3>
In today’s postproduction environment, surround-processing capability is essential. Nuage systems incorporate state-of-the-art surround features, including speaker level/delay adjustments and bass management.<br><br>

<h3>Ultra-low latency and solid reliability with high channel counts</h3>
The Dante Accelerator audio interface card is installed in the computer running the Nuendo DAW to provide extra low-latency audio transfer. The card itself has a latency of 150 microseconds. Dante can transmit 128 bi-directional channels of 24-bit/96kHz audio, providing a distinct performance advantage when communicating with Nuage I/O units. The Dante Accelerator card also features a secondary port that can be used to provide redundant connections for failsafe reliability. <br><br>

Thanks to Dante, monitoring latency is near zero for performance-friendly monitoring while recording, even when multiple I/O units are used with cascaded monitor buses. The Nuage development team was adamant about designing near-zero latency into the system to allow artists to deliver their utmost in creativity and performance.<br><br>

But latency doesn’t tell the whole Dante story. Because Nuage systems use Dante for system communication, connection between I/O unit and computer can be made via a single standard Ethernet cable. In more complex systems using multiple I/O units, standard network hubs and even existing architecture can be used to configure the network as required. Flexible connectivity also means that a Nuage network can be linked to a live sound console, or included in an audio-sharing installation.<br><br>
