power until the condensation has completely dried out.
• When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the power amplifier LAST, to avoid speaker damage. When turning the power off, the power amplifier should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.
• Always turn the power off when the device is not in use.
 Saving data
This device has a built-in backup battery that maintains data in internal memory even when the device’s power is switched off. The backup
battery will eventually become depleted, however, and when that happens the contents of the internal memory will be lost.* To prevent loss
of data be sure to replace the backup battery before it becomes fully depleted. If the backup battery runs low, alert number “12.” will appear
in the [PRESET] display either while the unit is starting up. If this occurs, do not turn off the power, but immediately save the data to a computer or other external storage device, and then have qualified Yamaha service personnel replace the backup battery. The average life of
the internal backup battery is approximately five years, depending on operating conditions.
* Data items maintained in the internal memory by the backup battery are as follows:
• Contents of the current preset and the preset number
• Parameters specific to the unit (e.g., configuration data)
• Current parameters for peripheral devices within the same system
• Event log
Data items other than those described above are stored in memory that does not require backup power, and will be retained even if the
backup battery fails.

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.

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’s Manual.
!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.
MRX Designer 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
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

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

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 MRX7-D contains a built-in network switch,

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 MRX7-D
features 64 in/64 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 MRX7-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.
Visit the Audinate website for more details on Dante.

NOTE
MRX7-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:
MRX7-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.
MRX7-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 MRX7-D. For details on
connections, refer to “MRX 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.
MRX7-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
audio 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 MRX7-D. For
details on connections, refer to “MRX 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
MRX7-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’s Manual.”
Each preset contains settings such as the following.

Various Procedures
Connecting via the [GPI] connector
GPI (General Purpose Interface) devices can be connected to
the rear-panel [GPI] connectors. GPI allows a variety of control
signals to be exchanged with external controllers or other
devices.

Example: Controlling the MRX7-D with a 10k ohm
linear taper potentiometer.
MRX7-D
The MRX7-D provides 16 input ports and 8 output ports.
• The +5VDC terminals have an output voltage of 5V. The
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 MRX7-D to play audio files
saved on an SD memory card
The MRX7-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 MRX7-D can play back audio files in either MP3 or WAV
formats.
Initializing the MRX7-D
Here’s how to initialize the MRX7-D’s internal memory, restoring it to the factory settings.
1. Power-off the MRX7-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’s Manual.”
3. Power-on the MRX7-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 MRX7-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 MRX7-D during initialization. Otherwise, a malfunction may occur.
