Yamaha mLAN16E2 Owner's Manual

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha mLAN16E2.

The mLAN16E2 is an expansion board that is based on mLAN technology. The mLAN16E2 adds two 

mLAN connectors to an mLAN16E2-compatible device, such as the Yamaha MOTIF XS music production 

synthesizer. By connecting to a computer in a peer-to-peer connection via an IEEE1394 cable, you can 

transfer audio data for all channels and MIDI data for all ports simultaneously between the mLAN16E2-

equipped device and the computer.

In order to take full advantage of the mLAN16E2’s functionality, please read this manual carefully. After 

reading this manual, please keep it available for future reference.

mLAN (IEEE1394) jacks

These 6-pin IEEE1394 standard jacks enable you to connect IEEE1394-compatible (FireWire/i.LINK) 

computers.

If the connecting device features a 6-pin IEEE1394 jack, use a standard 6-pin to 6-pin IEEE1394 cable. 

If it features a 4-pin IEEE1394 jack, use a standard 6-pin to 4-pin IEEE1394 cable. Do not connect the 

cables in a loop.

Be sure to connect the IEEE1394 (mLAN) cable plug to the mLAN jack in the correct orientation.

Yamaha recommends that you use an IEEE1394 cable with a length of 4.5 meters or less.

Specifications and appearance subject to change without notice.
