---

Complete Sound System Setup:

1. Mixer:

• Yamaha TF5:

  • 32 channels, 16 outputs

  • Built-in TouchFlow for easy control

  • NY64-D Dante card installed for Dante connectivity with stage boxes like Tio1608-D.

---

2. Stage Box:

• 2x Yamaha Tio1608-D:

  • 16 mic/line inputs per box (total 32 inputs).

  • 8 outputs per box (total 16 outputs).

  • Ideal for managing inputs from microphones, instruments, and stage audio.

---

3. Speakers (Main PA System):

• RCF HDL 50-A Line Array (Main PA):

  • 4 x RCF HDL 50-A for even coverage of large rooms or outdoor events.

  • Powerful, clear sound with active bi-amped design.

  • 1000W RMS per speaker with 122 dB max SPL.

(These are the same line array systems you were considering earlier, excellent for big crowds.)

---

4. Subwoofers (Low-End Power):

• 2 x RCF SUB 9006-AS (Active subwoofers):

  • 1000W RMS, providing deep, punchy low end for large events.

  • Perfect for supporting the high-performance RCF HDL 50-A.

  • Best suited for outdoor or large venue events where you need ample bass extension.

---

5. Monitors (Stage Monitoring):

• 4 x RCF NX 12-SMA (Active stage monitors):

  • Clear and powerful stage sound for performers.

  • Adjustable EQ, making them ideal for drums, vocals, and instruments on stage.

---

6. Power Amplifiers (Optional, if needed):

• RCF D Series Power Amplifiers (if using passive speakers for other zones):

  • You don’t need additional amplifiers if you stick with active speakers and subwoofers (as suggested above).

  • For passive setups, RCF’s D Series amps are excellent.

---

7. Cables and Accessories:

• Dante-Enabled Switch:

  • Netgear GS108T: Managed Gigabit Ethernet switch with Dante support (for connecting multiple Dante devices).

  • If you’re using multiple Tio1608-D units, this will allow you to expand seamlessly.

• Microphone & Instrument Cables:

  • Use high-quality cables for mics, instruments, and stage input devices (such as Mogami or Canare).

• Speaker Cables:

  • Use high-quality speaker cables to connect your RCF speakers and subwoofers to the TF5 mixer.

---

8. Optional – Audio Processing/FX:

• If you need to add external FX or processing, you can consider the Yamaha SPX Series or Lexicon processors.

• Built-in TF5 effects should be enough for most applications, but for professional touring events, adding an external processor can provide more flexibility.
