Neutrik announced version 5.6 firmware update for its CL/QL digital mixing console series. Also, Yamaha has added preamp remote control options for Neutrik’s new NA2-IO-DPRO DANTE audio network device.

With the CL/QL firmware update, Yamaha added this specific support for Neutrik’s I/O solution, adding more flexibility in a network setup for Line, MIC and AES signals.

Using the DPRO on a truss, for example, is a way to establish ambient miking with short cable runs; remote controlling it via Yamaha CL/QL is a real improvement for a ProAV work environment, according to Neutrik.
