Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha mLAN8E. The mLAN8E is an expansion board that
provides an mLAN interface. mLAN is a digital network designed for music and based on the IEEE
1394 high performance serial bus. mLAN makes it easy to construct sophisticated networks for
audio and MIDI signals without having to re-configure the cabling as was necessary with
previous systems.
The mLAN8E includes mixer functionality, and is a powerful enhancement to your music
production system.
In order to take full advantage of the mLAN8E’s functionality, please read this manual carefully.
After reading this manual, keep it for future reference.

Installation of the mLAN8E must be performed by one of the qualified Yamaha service person-
