# Interfacing QL/CL, TF, Rio, and Tio

The following devices can be integrated with Dante audio and head-amp control:

</figure>Note that firmwares must be of a matched revision according to the Yamaha RIVAGE PM/CL/QL/R/Tio Series Firmware/Editor/R Remote/Console File Converter Compatibility document [(PDF)](https://download.yamaha.com/files/tcm:39-1161321?_ga=2.147724343.10903834.1668013668-2124979198.1668013668). Newer versions tend to work across device series at release time but that is not always true and hasn't historically been true. Best to check versions for cross-compatibility (stay to one line on the chart).

Devices under control must be ‘mounted’ in the controlling system. Leave the Y###- prefix on any device names to enable mounting.

**Best practice:** Set all devices to different IDs. Reserve low numbers for Tio/TF as they are more restricted in numbering options.

CL and QL network is physically configured as follows. Note that the Device Control port for HA remote for a Tio must be set on the Dante network and is separate from the Dante port.

<figure class="image" id="bkmrk--1">![](https://videng.wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2026-07/hardware-yamaha-integrating-r-series-networking.png)</figure>TF port configuration:

HA control is on the primary Dante network interface

Tio port configuration:

HA control is on the primary Dante network interface but as a second address, much like the R-series. See https://mediarealm.com.au/articles/yamaha-tio1608-dante-io-usage/ for configuration.
