Output

As of February 2026 the Matrix outputs have been utilized to produce a mono output using the main left + main right feeds. This allows a single output to carry both the left and right channels for the house which is useful for sending clean signals to other devices. For example, the lobby speakers are given a summed stereo to mono output reduced by 2dB and with an EQ that cuts some of the low-end audio which cannot be played through the speakers. Another output provides a summed stereo output reduced by 20dB for recording via the iMac when using the CCTV system.

Yamaha Tio1608-D Stagebox

Thsi is a Dante-equipped audio I/O rack, located in the stage-right wing in a wall-mounted equipment rack which includes an amplifier for the dressing room speakers. This provides 16 inputs and 8 outputs direct to the Yamaha TF5 mixer in the booth. This uses ethernet (network) cabling which is labelled in the booth on a wall jack, and connects to the Dante expansion card on the TF5. Patching is controlled by software automatically thanks to a Quick Config feature of these Yamaha devices, and can be configured to any fader or output available to the mixing console.

User Manual

Front Panel Switches

Quick Config: ON
Unit ID: 1
+48V Master: ON

This device uses Dante (Digital Audio Network Through Ethernet) is capable of working directly with the Yamaha TF5 without any special configuration by using the Quick Config option. When enabled and set to Unit ID #1, the Tio1608 will automatically appear to the Yamaha TF5 as inputs named "Slot" 1-16, and outputs will match the Aux busses 1-6 while 7 and 8 are Main Left and Main Right, respectively.

Inputs

Since faders 1-4 are in use on the TF-5, this makes slots 1-4 unavailable on the Tio stagebox. Inputs 14-16 are configured to use phantom power to operate the condenser microphones over the stage. Note tha tin this case, "stage left" and "stage" right" is from the point of view of the audio operator in the tech booth.

1 The house needs a high-pass filter at 100Hz to avoid attempting to handle frequencies they are not designed to manage. This ensures the house can still deliver sufficient range even without the floor speakers in use.

2 The primary purpose of the floor speakers is to reinforce low-end frequencies which are missing from the house speakers. Therefore, a low-pass filter at 120Hz ensures they avoid competing with the house audio.

3 Due to a mild spike around 94Hz in the theatre a minor reduction in that frequency is necessary to avoid reverberation.

4 The distance between the house speakers (on-wall) and the floor speakers (on the apron) is approximately 10ft. This equates to a needed delay of ~9.8ms to ensure proper timing. Should this change, take measurements using a laser measure from various locations on each side of the audience. Calculate the delay as ((Distance to Wall Speaker - Distance to Floor Speaker) / 1125) * 1000 where distance is in feet and 1,125 ft/sec. is the speed of sound. This will give you a delay in milliseconds. Average your calculations to get a suitable delay.

💡 Mains handle mids and highs, floors handle low-end reinforcement.
