The DME64N/24N Conﬁgurable Digital Mixing Engine

In addition to basic mixing and matrix output functions, the DME64N/24N includes a full range of processing modules –

equalizers, compressors, reverb and delay, effects, etc. – that can be patched together using the DME Designer software to

support just about any audio system you need. It can serve as the central audio processing and routing unit in an installed

system, or it can serve to augment the functionality of an existing or touring system. A few examples are provided below:

Matrix Output Expansion

Particularly in concert situations there always seems to be a need for more feeds and outputs. The DME64N/

24N can function as an extremely versatile output matrix/router system that can be easily reconﬁgured to meet

changing system requirements.

Outboard Signal Processing

A single DME64N/24N can replace racks of standard outboard processing and effects gear.

Output Processor

Multi-band output processing is just one of the many output processing functions the DME64N/24N could

be applied to. A single DME64N can handle up to 64 channels, while a DME24N can handle up to 24

channels, for extraordinary capacity and versatility.

System Examples

Single DME24N: A Meeting Room Installation

Here’s an example of a single DME24N used to control the sound in four partitionable regions. The built-in

microphone preampliﬁers and A/D converters allow direct connection of up to 8 microphone inputs, while the

8 analog outputs can directly feed four stereo power ampliﬁers. Scenes can be set up to handle any of the

possible partition conﬁgurations, allowing background music and microphone sources to be handled as

required by each conﬁguration.

In this example an ICP1 Intelligent Control Panel is installed in one region to allow scene recall and parameter

control. Other regions have a 1-fader 1-switch CP1SF control panels to allow users to adjust microphone and

background music levels.

Multiple DME64N: Large Stadium Or Multi-purpose Hall System

In this system live audio from microphones is mixed with background music and other sources in the central

control room using a Yamaha DM1000 digital mixing console. A DM1000 equipped with an MY16-AE

digital I/O card and an NHB32-C network hub bridge can feed the control room output to the system’s

DME64N units over distances of up to 2 kilometers via multimode optical ﬁber cables. The control room also

houses the system-control computer running the DME Designer application software, and an ICP1 Intelligent

Control Panel for general DME unit control. The audio and control signals from the control room are

distributed to four amp rooms (zones) via the CobraNet Ethernet cable. One or more DME64N units in each

amp room handles signal routing and output processing (equalization, limiting, crossover) and the resultant

digital output is converted to analog audio and fed to the power ampliﬁers via ACU16-C Ampliﬁer Control

Units. Scene switching to accommodate a variety of spectator/audience seating areas for different types of

events can be handled from both the control-room PC and ICP1 control panel.

DME64N/24N Audio System Network

To facilitate understanding and conceptualizing an overall DME64N/24N system, the terms “area” and “zone” are applied.

The entire area serviced by the system is the “area,” while audio processing divisions within the area are “zones.” A single

computer can be used to control the entire area as well as individual zones in a DME64N/24N audio system.

Up to 16 DME64N/24N units can operate in any one zone. DME64N/24N units in each zone are interconnected and

function as a single system.

Each zone always includes one DME64N/24N, which functions as the “zone master” and controls all other DME64N/24N

and ICP1 units (zone slaves) in the same zone. If a computer is connected to the zone master, the computer can be used to

control all devices in the zones.

DME64N/24N Audio System Control

To facilitate understanding and controlling an overall DME64N/24N system, the terms “component,” “parameter,” “scene,”

and “user-deﬁned parameter” are applied.

Components & Parameters

The individual audio modules (equalizers, compressors, etc.) are called “components.” Head ampliﬁer modules

are also prepared as components. Changing the parameters of components enables control over the operation

of the components.

Conﬁgurations

A “conﬁguration” is a complete set of components for constructing an audio system. Each conﬁguration

determines the audio function(s) of the corresponding DME64N/24N unit. All parameter sets included with

each component are called “preset parameters.” One DME64N/24N unit has a number of conﬁgurations, and

a conﬁguration has a number of preset parameters.

User-deﬁned Parameters

By assigning a parameter to a user-deﬁned parameter, the user-deﬁned parameter can be controlled from the

panels of the DME64N/24N and ICP1, or other controllers connected via MIDI or GPI. Multiple parameters

assigned to a single user-deﬁned parameter will be controlled simultaneously. Up to 24 user-deﬁned parameters

can be used in a zone.

Scenes

A combination of all conﬁguration and preset parameter combinations is called a “scene.” A scene determines

the audio effect(s) in the zone. Scenes can be recalled from the panels of the DME64N/24N and ICP1, other

controllers connected via MIDI or GPI, or computer control. Up to 999 scenes can be stored for each zone.

NOTE

Slight delays might be experienced when switching scenes or editing user-deﬁned parameters, depending on the network

condition.

DME Designer

The DME Designer software application, supplied with the DME64N/24N, can be used to create conﬁgurations as well as

control the entire area.

A DME64N/24N network system cannot be set up entirely from the DME64N/24N alone. Conﬁgurations and scene data

must be created on a computer running the DME Designer application, and then transferred from the computer to the

DME64N/24N. The DME Designer can also be used to determine how external controllers will control DME64N/24N

parameters.

Refer to the DME Designer Installation Guide for detailed information on connecting a computer to the DME64N/24N and

installing the required software drivers.

Refer to the DME Designer Owner’s Manual for setup and operation instructions. The PDF manual will automatically be

copied to the computer when the DME Designer application is installed.

Setup Procedure

Follow the steps outlined below to prepare the DME64N/24N for operation.

1. Install any required I/O cards.

Refer to “I/O Card Installation” on page 22 for details.

2. Connect the AC power cord.

Be sure to turn all devices OFF before connecting AC mains power.

Attach the cable clamp to prevent accidental disconnection.

Attaching the cable clamp.

Be sure to properly ground the device to prevent possible electrical shock.

First plug the female-connector end of the AC cord into the [AC IN] socket on the rear panel of the

DME64N/24N, then plug the male plug into an appropriate AC mains outlet. Make sure the AC power to be

used complies with the conditions marked on the top cover of the device.

Use only the AC power cord supplied with the DME64N/24N. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged ands needs

to be replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a ﬁre and shock

hazard!

The type of AC power cord provided with the DME64N/24N may be different depending on the country in which

it is purchased (a third prong may be provided for grounding purposes). Improper connection of the grounding

conductor can create the risk of electrical shock. Do NOT modify the plug provided with the DME64N/24N. If the

plug will not ﬁt the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁed electrician. Do not use a plug adapter which

defeats the grounding conductor.

Preparation

Security Cover Mounting

Security cover mounting screw holes (M3 size) are provided on the front panel of the unit. The spacings are

423mm width and 96mm (DME64N) / 52mm (DME24N) height. See “Dimensions” on page 68 for

details. A security cover made by the customer or contractor can be attached to the front panel via these

mounting holes to prevent accidental operation. Yamaha cannot supply a security cover.

When mounting a cover make sure that the screws used do not go deeper than 15 millimeters into the front

panel. Also, to ensure that the cover does not come in contact with the panel controls, leave a space of about

20 millimeters between the front panel and the cover.
