Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha mLAN8E. The mLAN8E is an expansion board that provides an mLAN interface. mLAN is a digital network designed for music and based on the IEEE 1394 high performance serial bus. mLAN makes it easy to construct sophisticated networks for audio and MIDI signals without having to re-configure the cabling as was necessary with previous systems. The mLAN8E includes mixer functionality, and is a powerful enhancement to your music production system.

Features n Fast data transfer via mLAN mLAN is a digital network designed for music. It uses the IEEE 1394 high performance serial bus, and allows you to construct systems that are more sophisticated yet simpler than ever before. For details on mLAN, refer to the separate “mLAN Guidebook.” * n 16 channel mixer functionality A 16 channel digital audio mixer is built in. * n Built-in equalizer / dynamics processor A four-band equalizer and dynamics processor provide sophist

Names and Functions Rear Panel 2 3 1 4 A SERIAL I/O jack This jack is used to connect the mLAN8E directly to a personal computer via a serial cable. Use this jack to connect the mLAN8E and the computer when you are using the mLAN Patchbay and mLAN Mixer on Windows. This is not used to input or output MIDI and audio signals. Refer to page 7 for more information on the connections. B mLAN (IEEE1394) jacks These jacks are used to connect mLAN devices or IEEE1394-compatibl

Connections Here’s how to connect the mLAN8E to other mLAN devices or to your computer. Connecting an mLAN (IEEE1394) device Use an IEEE1394 standard (6-pin) cable to connect the mLAN (IEEE1394) jack on the mLAN (IEEE1394) device to the mLAN (IEEE1394) jack on the mLAN8E. At this time, you do not have to turn off the power to either device. mLAN (IEEE1394) device CONTRAST ANALOG MIDI SERIAL I/O OUT-B OUT-A IN OUT2/R OUT1/L IN2/R IN1/L mLAN8E mLAN IEEE1394 S200 DC IN COAXIAL
