Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha mLAN8P. The mLAN8P is an interface unit that supports
“mLAN,” a digital network for music which employs a high-performance serial bus “IEEE1394.”
The mLAN8P enables you to configure audio and MIDI signal networks easily now without
repeatedly re-making complicated connections.
You can quickly configure a system that contains currently-used audio and MIDI devices and
future devices that support “IEEE1394” or “mLAN.” In addition, the mixer function of the
mLAN8P is very useful in music production applications.
Please read this manual to make the best use of mLAN8P’s excellent features, and keep the
manual in a safe place so that you can refer to it any time you have questions.
