Precautions for rackmounting
This device is guaranteed to operate at an ambient temperature
of 0 to 40 °C. If this device is mounted in an EIA rack together
with other devices, heat from the various devices may cause the
temperature inside the rack to rise, rendering this device unable
to perform to its full potential. To ensure that heat does not
accumulate inside this device, please ensure that the following
conditions are met when rack-mounting it.
• If you plan to mount this device together with devices that
tend to generate heat, such as power amps other than XMV
series products, allow 1U or more of vacant space between
this device and other devices. Also attach ventilation panels
in this space or leave them open to ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Leave the back of the rack open, and allow at least 10 cm of
space between the rack and the wall or ceiling to ensure sufficient ventilation. If the back of the rack cannot be left open,
provide forced air cooling for the rack, for example by
installing a commercially available fan kit. If you install a
fan kit, leaving the back of the rack closed may provide more
effective cooling. For details, refer to the owner’s manual
provided with the rack or fan kit.

The MTX5-D provides sixteen ports of analog/digital input,
one port of digital input, and eight ports of output. The [IN]1–15 terminals detect voltage changes from 0V to 5V. The
[IN]-16 terminal alone supports +24V input; voltages in the
range of 2.5–24V are detected as High, and voltages below
2.5V are detected as Low. The [OUT]-1–8 terminals are
open collector outputs; they will change between open or
closed (Ground). The +5VDC terminals has an output voltage of 5V. Use the included Euroblock plugs to make connections (see “Euroblock plug connection” on page 13 for
details).
For details on connections and usage, refer to “Connecting
via the [GPI] connector” on page 21.

CAUTION
Do not input a voltage higher than 5V to the [IN]-1–15
terminals. Doing so may damage your equipment.

o [YDIF] connectors
These connectors are used to make a ring connection with
the devices that comprise the MTX/MRX system, allowing
digital audio signals to be transmitted and received. Use
CAT5e or better Ethernet STP cables (shielded twisted pair
cables) that have all eight pins connected in a straight connection. The maximum cable length between devices is 30
meters, and you can connect up to eight devices that are
equipped with the [YDIF] connectors. For details, refer to
the MTX-MRX Editor User Guide.

!4 [INPUT]/[OUTPUT] connectors
These are balanced input/output connectors for analog audio
input and output. Connect line level devices or microphones
to the [INPUT] connectors, and line level devices to the
[OUTPUT] connectors. The [INPUT] connectors provide
head amps, and can also provide +48V phantom power.
MTX-MRX Editor is used to specify the gain of the internal
head amps and to turn the phantom power on/off.
Use the included Euroblock plugs to make connections (see
“Euroblock plug connection” on page 13 for details).

NOTE

Using a Mini-YGDAI card for an external word clock may
cause noise in system configurations with multiple YDIF
connections. In such cases, we recommend using a different word clock source, such as Dante or YDIF.

Adjusting the internal head amp gain between +17 dB and
+18 dB will internally turn PAD on/off. Noise may occur if
there is an impedance difference between the Hot and Cold
of a device connected to the [INPUT] connectors while
phantom power is being used.

!1 Dante [PRIMARY]/[SECONDARY] connectors
This is an RJ45 connector used to connect the unit to a computer or a Dante device such as the XMV4280-D via an
Ethernet cable (CAT5e or better is recommended).
If DIP switch 4 on the rear panel is set upward (to DAISY
CHAIN), audio signals coming into one of these connectors
will be output from the other. Refer to “Daisy chain network” in the “About connections” section (see page 15) for
more information on daisy chain connections.
If DIP switch 4 on the rear panel is set downward (to
REDUNDANT), the Dante [PRIMARY] connector will be
used for primary connection, and the Dante [SECONDARY]
connector will be used for secondary (backup) connection. If
the unit is unable to transmit signals through the Dante [PRIMARY] connector for some reason (e.g., due to damage or
accidental removal of the cable, or a failed network switch),
the Dante [SECONDARY] connector will automatically take
over the connection. Refer to “About redundant networks” in
the “About connections” section (see page 16) for more
information on redundant networks.
The connected computer is used mainly with the dedicated
“MTX-MRX Editor” application program for the purpose of
setting up or controlling the MTX/MRX system.

NOTE
• Since Dante-compatible equipment made by Yamaha
such as the MTX5-D contains a built-in network switch,
the number of hops will be two or more. For this reason,
the 0.15 msec Latency setting in Dante Controller will be
grayed-out and unavailable.

About Dante
This product features Dante technology as a protocol to transmit audio signals. Dante is a network protocol developed by Audinate. It is designed to deliver multi-channel audio signals at various sampling
and bit rates, as well as device control signals over a Giga-bit Ethernet (GbE) network. Dante also offers
the following benefits:
• It transmits up to 512 in/512 out, for a total 1024 channels (in theory) of audio over a GbE network. (The MTX5-D
features 16 in/16 out with a 24/32-bit resolution.)
• Dante uses high accuracy network synchronization standards to achieve sample-accurate playback with extremely low
latency and jitter. Four types of latency are offered by the MTX5-D: 0.25 msec, 0.5 msec, 1.0 msec, and 5.0 msec.
• Dante supports resilient redundant connections against unexpected network problems via primary and secondary circuits.

About connections

Computer

There are two ways to connect the MTX5-D to a Dante network.

NOTE

MTX5-D (ID#1)

Please do not use the EEE function (*) of network switches in a
Dante network.

PRIMARY
88

SECONDARY

Although power management should be negotiated automatically in switches that support EEE, some switches do not perform the negotiation properly. This may cause EEE to be
enabled in Dante networks when it is not appropriate, resulting
in poor synchronization performance and occasional dropouts.
Therefore we strongly recommend that:

MTX5-D (ID#2)

• If you use managed switches, ensure that they allow EEE to
be disabled. Make sure that EEE is disabled on all ports
used for real-time Dante traffic.

PRIMARY
88

SECONDARY

• If you use unmanaged switches, make sure to not use network switches that support the EEE function, since EEE
operation cannot be disabled in these switches.
* EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is a technology that reduces switch
power consumption during periods of low network traffic. It is also
known as Green Ethernet and IEEE802.3az.

MTX5-D (ID#3)
PRIMARY
88

 Daisy chain network
A daisy chain is a wiring scheme in which multiple devices
are connected together in sequence. In this way, networking
is simple and requires no network switches.
This connection method is suitable for a simple system with
a small number of devices.
However, if a large number of devices are connected, the
latency value must be increased. Also, if a connection is broken in a daisy chain network, the signal flow is interrupted at
that point and no signal will be transferred beyond that point.

NOTE
The computer that’s running MTX-MRX Editor must be connected to the unused Dante [PRIMARY] connector or Dante
[SECONDARY] connector on the MTX5-D. For details on
connections, refer to “MTX Setup Manual.”

 Star network
In a star network, each device is connected to a central hub.
Using a GbE-compatible network switch enables you to configure a wide-band, large-scale network. We recommend a
network switch that features various functions to control and
monitor the network (such as Qos, the ability to assign priority to data flows — e.g., clock synchronization or audio
transmission on certain data circuits.)
With this topology, it is common to configure a redundant
network so that an unexpected network problem will not
affect any audio or otherwise stable communications.

MTX5-D Owner’s Manual

About Dante

 About redundant networks

 About Dante Controller

A redundant network consists of two circuits, a primary circuit and a secondary circuit. Normally, the network operates
on the primary circuit. However, if the primary connection is
broken, the secondary circuit will automatically take over
communications. Therefore, using a redundant network with
a star topology would increase resiliency against unexpected
network problems relative to a daisy chain network.

NOTE
The computer that’s running MTX-MRX Editor must be connected to the [PRIMARY] connector of the MTX5-D. For
details on connections, refer to “MTX Setup Manual.”

Various Procedures
Recalling (switching) presets

Using the scheduler

With the MTX/MRX system, input/output port patching, matrix
mixer settings, and the parameters of XMV amps within the
same MTX/MRX system are stored together as a “preset” in the
MTX5-D and in MTX-MRX Editor for recall when desired.
Each MTX/MRX system can store 50 presets. MTX-MRX Editor is used to edit presets.

The scheduler can switch presets or play music and sound
effects from the SD memory card at the date and time you specify. Each such setting is called an “event.”
Event settings are made in the “Scheduler” dialog box of MTXMRX Editor. For details on operation, refer to “MTX-MRX
Editor User Guide.”

Each preset contains settings such as the following.

< Example 1 >

maximum current draw is 100 mA total for the two terminals. If you are using a switch/variable resistor and an LED/
relay simultaneously, connect one terminal to the switch/
variable resistor and the other terminal to the LED/relay.
• The [IN]-1–15 terminals detect voltage changes from 0V to
5V. The [IN]-16 terminal alone supports +24V input; voltages in the range of 2.5–24V are detected as High, and voltages below 2.5V are detected as Low.
• The [OUT]-1–8 terminals are open collector outputs; they
will change between open or closed (Ground). The maximum voltage that can be applied is +12V. The maximum
current draw is 75 mA per port.

Various Procedures

Using the MTX5-D to play audio files
saved on an SD memory card
The MTX5-D can use commercially available SD memory
cards to play back audio files such as music and sound effects
without needing to connect a CD player or other audio device.
The MTX5-D can play back audio files in either MP3 or WAV
formats.

Initializing the MTX5-D
Here’s how to initialize the MTX5-D’s internal memory, restoring it to the factory settings.

1. Power-off the MTX5-D.
2. Set the rear panel DIP switches 7 and 8 to the
“INIT. (INITIALIZE)” position.

Here we explain how to handle SD memory cards. In order to
play back audio files saved on an SD memory card, you must
make settings in MTX-MRX Editor. For details, refer to “MTXMRX Editor User Guide.”

3. Power-on the MTX5-D.

NOTE
Use an SD format or SDHC format memory card (SDXC format
is not supported). However, depending on the manufacturer or
type of memory card, some memory cards might not work correctly with the MTX5-D.

 Inserting an SD memory card

Initialization will start.
The status of execution is shown by the front panel [ALERT]
indicator, the [PRIMARY] through [SYNC] indicators, and
the [YDIF] through [SD/ACT] indicators.
• During initialization:
All indicators other than [ALERT] will flash.

1. Use a 2.5 mm hex key to open the cover of
the SD memory card slot.
2. With the terminals of the SD memory card
facing downward, insert the card straight
into the slot until it clicks into place.

• Initialization completed:
Only the green indicators will flash.

When the SD memory card has been correctly recognized, the [SD/ACT] indicator (page 9) will light. The
[SD/ACT] indicator will flash while the card is being
accessed.

• Initialization failed:
The [ALERT] indicator will flash.

NOTE
To prevent theft of the SD memory card, we recommend
that you leave the cover installed during use.

 Removing the SD memory card
1. Gently press the SD memory card inward.
The card will pop out slightly; gently pull it completely
out.

CAUTION
Do not turn off the power to the MTX5-D during initialization. Otherwise, a malfunction may occur.

NOTE
If initialization failed, contact Yamaha representatives /
authorized distributors to have the device inspected. A list of
Yamaha representatives / authorized distributors appears
near the end of this manual.
