The Yamaha NAI48-ES network audio interface allows you to ditch your bulky analog snake in favor of a single Cat 5e cable, for a simplified live rig that's easy to set up and operate. Tailor-made for your Yamaha digital console, the NAI48-ES lets you connect to an A/D or D/A converter for remote analog input or output. At Sweetwater, we've found digital snake systems like the NAI48-ES to be more noise resistant than conventional analog stage boxes, and they also provide you with stellar sound quality by keeping your microphone cables as short as possible. If you want a convenient way to add EtherSound capability to your Yamaha digital mixer, check out the Yamaha NAI48-ES network audio interface!

  • Yamaha digital console + digital snake = huge advantage

Yamaha digital console + digital snake = huge advantage

Using state-of-the-art EtherSound technology, the Yamaha NAI48-ES network audio interface lets you pipe 48 digital inputs and outputs over Cat 5e cable. 48 AES/EBU inputs and outputs are provided via 25-pin D-sub connectors, and are compatible with a wide range of digital front-end devices.

EtherSound gives you high-quality, bidirectional, multichannel routing

When you're trying to mix a live show in real time, latency can be a major drag. Luckily, the Yamaha NAI48-ES network audio interface utilizes EtherSound technology, which is renowned for its low latency, high-quality bidirectional multi-channel transmission capabilities. Able to easily transfer 48 channels of 24-bit/48kHz digital audio up to approximately 328 feet, the NAI48-ES is the most convenient way to add EtherSound capability to your Yamaha digital mixing console. Just install one or more AuviTran AVY16-ES EtherSound cards in the console's Mini-YGDAI card slots, and you're good to go! You can even use standard Ethernet hubs and routers to create any network configuration that suits your needs.

Economical and value-packed with bulletproof construction

Digital signal propagation used to be prohibitively expensive. Not any more! The Yamaha NAI48-ES network audio interface works in perfect harmony with Yamaha digital consoles, providing you with an economical, value-packed live sound solution. On top of that, the NAI48-ES's ingenius and durable design ensures that it can be set up with minimum hassle and that it will give you years of trouble-free operation.
