  • Page 3 SB168-ES and LS9 Quick Setup Guide Step 1: Device Setup and Connections Set the MY cards as follows. DIP switch setting of MY16-ES64 Set SW1 to the [422] position. Set SW2 to the [48K] position. Set SW3 to the [Emu.] position.
  • Page 4 SB168-ES and LS9 Quick Setup Guide Set the SB168-ES ID#s and connect all devices as follows, and then turn on all the devices. Set an ID for each SB168-ES unit via ID #1 ID #2 the DIP switches. #1 will route to Slot 1and #2 to Slot 2.
  • Page 5 To setup the EtherSound network, a software application AVS-ESMonitor by AuviTran is used. Download and install AVS-ESMonitor from AuviTran’s website. http://www.auvitran.com/ Note: AVS-ESMonitor versions 3.5 and later support the SB168-ES.

  • Page 8 Appendix Appendices After following the three simple steps your LS9 and SB168-ES stagebox system is setup and ready to work for most situations without any further changes. However, adding SB168-ES and MY16-ES64 to LS9 does not simply provide remote input/output. The stagebox solution also adds network functionality using EtherSound technology.
  • Page 9: Appendix A: Which Patching System To Use When

    Traditional analog systems can be patched at the stagebox or the console rear panel. Traditional digital systems are the same, but rear panel patching is replaced by software. SB168-ES uses a network system that introduces another patch option. Traditional analog system...

    Appendix Appendix B: Signal flow between SB168-ES and LS9 The signal flow of the stagebox system built in Quick Setup are shown below. Understanding this diagram helps you to build more flexible stagebox solutions using manual settings. Inputs Ch1-16 Ch1-16 ..
  • Page 11: Appendix C: Manual Patch Of Ls9

    Appendix Appendix C: Manual patch of LS9 Input patching When the LS9 is in its default state, rear panel Input jacks 1-32 (1-16) are patched to Input channels 1-32 (1-16). The Slot(s) are patched to the second layer. However, input patching can be changed as desired.
  • Page 12 Appendix Output patching Output patching can also be changed as desired. This example explains how to patch MIX and STEREO channels to Slot out ports manually. For MIX channels: Move the cursor to the Port select popup button, and press the [ENTER] key. Select SLOT1 and then select Port 1 of SLOT1.

    Appendix Appendix D: Manual patch of EtherSound The Quick Setup function of the AVS-ESMonitor supports up to four SB168-ES units connected to an MY16-ES64. (In the case of PM5D, DM2000 or DME64N). However, if any other Ethersound devices are present in the network, Quick Setup cannot be used.
  • Page 14: Appendix E: Manual Setting Of Remote Ha

    Appendix Appendix E: Manual setting of Remote HA HA parameters, such as the phantom power (+48V) and gain, of SB168-ES units can be remotely controlled by performing the following procedures on the LS9. Repeatedly press the [RACK 5-8] key to access the EXTERNAL HA screen.
  • Page 15: Appendix F: Assigning Stagebox Patch To Existing Scenes

    USB stick, you will find that loading these sessions and recalling these SCENEs will recall the patching that was used when they were created. If the SCENEs were created before the addition of SB168-ES, then they will not suit your new SB168-ES remote stagebox system.
  • Page 16 HA controllers to the slots. (This setup is not part of SCENE MEMORY and is set for all SCENEs.) This section moves the SB168-ES patch from the standard downloaded SCENE and applies it to your pre-existing SCENE using the “Focus method”.
  • Page 17 Appendix 10. Recall the SB168 patch SCENE. (This recalls the IN and OUT patches.) 11. Recall the SCENE needing the SB168 patch. (IN and OUT patches are not recalled because of focus, the SB168 patches is used.) 12. Copy HA noted in step 2 to HA of SB168 manually. 1.
  • Page 18: Appendix G: Using The Ring Setting In Quick Setup

    Use the Channel Allocation slider to allow more input or output channels at the expense of the other. For further information on the use of Ring mode, please refer to the Yamaha "EtherSound Setup Guide" at the Yamaha Pro Audio website SB168-ES product page:...
  • Page 19: Appendix H: Using Sb168-Es Inputs On Ls9 Second Layer

    HA (SB168-ES) is connected in groups of 8 channels. SB168-ES channels are now patched as the image below, and the selected channel HA encoder will remotely adjust the gain. In the case of LS9-16 there is no second stagebox. Further manual patching should be done to access St L, St R, Matrix or other Mix channels.
