Yamaha CL3 with Rio3224 and Rio1608 Digital Mixing Package

The Yamaha CL3 with Rio3224 and Rio1608 is a professional digital mixing package designed for live sound, concerts, touring productions, theatres, houses of worship and large event applications. This package combines the Yamaha CL3 digital mixing console with one Rio3224-D and one Rio1608-D remote I/O rack, providing flexible audio connections for demanding production environments.

Whether you operate a sound rental company, manage a live music venue or work as a professional sound engineer, this Yamaha system offers a practical solution for managing multiple microphones, instruments, stage inputs and audio outputs. Its networked design allows the console and compatible remote I/O racks to work together through Yamaha’s Dante-based digital audio infrastructure.

Complete Yamaha CL3 Mixing Package

This package includes the following equipment:

• 1 × Yamaha CL3 digital mixing console
• 1 × Yamaha Rio3224-D remote I/O rack
• 1 × Yamaha Rio1608-D remote I/O rack

The combination provides a central mixing surface and two remote stage I/O units. The exact condition, accessories, rack hardware, cables and other included items should be confirmed with the seller before purchase.

Yamaha CL3 Digital Mixing Console

The Yamaha CL3 is designed for professional live sound and installed audio applications. It provides 64 mono input channels and 8 stereo input channels, together with a control surface organized to help engineers manage complex mixes efficiently.

Its interface includes motorized faders, a touchscreen and Yamaha’s Centralogic control system. These features help operators access channels, adjust levels and navigate mixing functions during rehearsals, soundchecks and live performances.

The console also provides onboard processing tools, including equalization, dynamics and effects. Engineers can use these functions to shape vocals, instruments and other audio sources without depending entirely on external processors.

The CL3 is suitable for production teams that need flexible channel management and a consistent workflow across different events and venues.

Yamaha Rio3224-D Remote I/O Rack

The included Yamaha Rio3224-D provides 32 analog inputs, 16 analog outputs and four AES/EBU digital output channels. It is designed to connect microphones and other audio sources near the stage while carrying digital audio to and from compatible Yamaha mixing systems.

This arrangement can reduce the need to run separate long analog cables from every stage input to the mixing position. Instead, audio can travel through a compatible Dante network connection.

The Rio3224-D is useful for productions with multiple microphones, instrument connections, monitor feeds and output requirements.

Yamaha Rio1608-D Remote I/O Rack

The Yamaha Rio1608-D adds 16 analog inputs and 8 analog outputs to the system. It provides additional stage connectivity for productions that need more microphone inputs or output connections in another location.

For example, the Rio3224-D can serve the main stage input area while the Rio1608-D supports additional performers, side-stage equipment or other production connections.

Together, the two racks provide 48 analog inputs and 24 analog outputs, subject to the available connections and the system’s configuration. This makes the package suitable for many professional live sound applications.

Dante Networking and Flexible System Integration

The Yamaha CL3 and compatible Rio-D series racks use Dante digital audio networking to transfer audio between the console and remote I/O equipment.

A correctly configured network helps simplify system wiring and supports flexible placement of the stage racks. Engineers should use compatible network cabling, verify firmware and configuration requirements, and follow Yamaha’s recommendations for clocking and network setup.

Before purchasing, confirm the exact rack versions. This listing refers to the original Rio3224-D and Rio1608-D models; the D2 and D3 versions are different product revisions.
