Yamaha MY8-ADDA96 Analog-to-digital Input / Digital-to-Analog Output Card

Enhance your Yamaha digital ecosystem with the MY8-ADDA96, a versatile optional analog-to-digital input and digital-to-analog output card engineered for compatible Yamaha digital mixing consoles and signal processors. This expansion card delivers eight analog inputs and eight analog outputs through eight Euroblock connectors, enabling you to connect external analog gear—such as outboard preamps, effects processors, and stage inputs—directly to your console’s signal path. Designed for reliability in demanding live environments and precise studio work, the MY8-ADDA96 helps you expand your I/O capabilities without sacrificing fidelity or workflow efficiency. Its compact dimensions (120mm x 40mm x 176mm) keep installation tidy in crowded rack spaces, while the Euroblock termination delivers secure, tool-free connections that stand up to regular setup and teardown. Whether you’re tuning a live rig or shaping a nuanced studio mix, this card provides a stable bridge between analog world and digital control, delivering seamless integration within the Yamaha ecosystem.

With eight channels of input and eight channels of output, the MY8-ADDA96 gives you robust routing flexibility across your console’s software environment. Users can bring in external microphone or instrument feeds through reliable analog paths, route them through digital processing, and send results back out to monitors, effects units, orAO/DA stages with minimal latency. This capability is particularly valuable when you need to preserve dynamic range and transient detail across a complex mix, or when you want to integrate analog gear that imparts a distinct warmth or character to your sound. The card’s design emphasizes clean conversion and consistent performance, so whether you’re in a high-energy live venue, a broadcast studio, or a music production room, you can count on predictable I/O behavior from session to session.
