You can connect a USB storage device to the console's iPad connector and use the console
to record audio to the device, play back audio files stored on the device, and manage audio
files stored on the device.
When a USB storage device is connected to the iPad connector, your TF series console can
record its internal signals to the device as an audio file and play back files that are stored on
the device.
You can also connect an iOS device to the console and use your iPad or iPhone as an audio
input source for the mixer.
Recorded files are formatted as 48 kHz, 24-bit stereo WAV files.
Playback is supported for WAV and MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3) files.
These features allow you to record signals from the STEREO and AUX buses to the USB
storage device, and use audio files that are saved on your iPad or USB storage device as the
source for the console's ST IN 1 channel.
NOTE
• Simultaneous recording and playback is not supported.
• While recording, the signal being recorded cannot be used as an INPUT channel.
• Compatible USB storage devices must be formatted in FAT32. If necessary, connect the device to the
USB connector (on the right side of the top panel) and use the contextual menu in the SAVE/LOAD
screen to format the device.
• Use only USB storage devices with a sector size of 512 bytes. (Certain large-capacity hard disk drives
may not be compatible with the console.)
• USB storage devices with an allocation unit size under 4096 bytes are not supported. (This may apply
to small-capacity USB memory devices.)
• For recording, we recommend using a high-speed device, such as a hard disk drive (HDD) or solid-state
drive (SSD). USB memory devices and iOS devices can be used for playback only.
• For playback, MP3 files must be encoded at 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, with a bit rate of 128 kbps–320 kbps.
Files encoded using variable bit rate (VBR) can be played back, but file length and elapsed playback
time may not be displayed properly.

OUTPUT ports. If one or more other Tio1608-D units on the network have OUTPUT ports used by
another TF series console, the with OUTPUT checkbox turns off automatically and a popup screen
is displayed.
• When the with OUPUT checkbox is turned off and you are using Dante Controller for patching, refer

assignments for channels.

If an NY64-D is installed and Dante Device Lock has been enabled, a lock icon is

set to SLOT, and the current setting is displayed.

If the NY64-D is operating in Dante AES67 mode, "AES67" is displayed above and to the
right of the SLOT display area.

NOTE
• When there are multiple host devices on the same network that can control the head amp, repeated
operations could result, therefore we recommend having only one host device control the head amp.
• Even when Quick Config is turned off, you can use Dante Controller to patch into the corresponding
SLOT input channel (refer to "Quick Config Input and input channel relationships" (page 92)) and
control the head amp for up to 8 I/O racks.

NOTE
Dante Controller (v3.10.0.19 and later) is required in order for the NY64-D to operating in AES67 mode.

• Do not connect or disconnect cables when the +48V button is set to the on position.
• Before turning phantom power on or off for a channel, first set the channel's volume to the
minimum level.

How does 1-knob EQ mode work?
1-knob EQ mode allows you to adjust several parameters at once with just the turn of a knob.
It makes EQ adjustment quick and easy.
The console contains Presets that are configured for a variety of instruments. You can use 1knob EQ mode to adjust the EQ settings that are saved in Presets without disturbing the
overall balance of your mix.
You can even configure EQ settings using manual mode, then switch to 1-knob EQ mode and
use the Intensity type to adjust the amount of EQ applied to the channel. In this case you can
use the [TOUCH AND TURN ] knob to adjust from 0% (no EQ applied) to 50% (the EQ
settings you made using manual mode) and 100% (double the intensity of the EQ settings you
made using manual mode). This makes it very easy to fine-tune your EQ settings with just one
knob.
If 1-knob EQ mode type is set to Vocal or Loudness, you can adjust the EQ between 0% (no
EQ applied) and 100% (maximum EQ applied).

connected to the NY64-D.
When the Tio1608-D is in Resume mode, this message may be
displayed continuously on the SLOT SETUP screen. This is not a
malfunction.

Wrong Word Clock! (Dante Device)

The sample rate setting of a device on the Dante network connected to
the NY64-D is incorrect, therefore the device cannot sync to the NY64D.

Linked at 10/100Mbps. Check Cables
or Switches.

while the Tio1608-D is locked using Dante Device Lock, or when you
change the switch after turning the unit on.

Restart Tio to Complete Quick Config

The Tio1608-D Device Config or other settings do not equal Quick
Config values. Restart the Tio1608-D.

Controller to unlock devices.

This is displayed when you touch the Quick Config button while the
Tio1608-D or NY64-D are locked using Dante Device Lock. In this case,
patching is not performed automatically by Quick Config, but it does
not indicate a malfunction. Dante Controller (v3.10.0.19 and later) is
required to unlock the devices.
