[NETWORK] Connector
This is a 100Base-TX/10Base-T Ethernet connector for
connection to a computer or other DME series units.
Normally this connector will be connected to a network
switch via an Ethernet cable. When two DME64N/24N
units are to be directly connected a “cross” cable should
be used. See “Ethernet Connection ([NETWORK]
Connector)” on page 23 for connection details.
[REMOTE] Connector
This 9-pin D-SUB connector allows connection to
Yamaha AD824 or AD8HR remote head amplifier or an
RS-232C/RS-422 compatible controller such as those
from AMX or Crestron. You can also connect a Yamaha
PM5D or DM2000 and control the internal head amps of
DME24N. Refer to page 28 for connection details.
[IN] [OUT] Connectors (DME24N only)
These are balanced Euroblock connectors for analog
audio input and output. The analog signal from
microphones or line sources such as CD players can be
input via the IN connectors, while the OUT connectors
can deliver analog output to powered speakers or
recording equipment. 48V phantom power can be
supplied to the IN connectors (page 51). Refer to page
26 for [IN] and [OUT] connection details.
I/O Slots
Optional Yamaha or third-party mini-YGDAI cards can be
plugged in here for system expansion. The DME64N has
four I/O slots, while the DME24N has one.
One expansion card can be plugged into each slot.
Refer to “I/O Card Installation” on page 20 for installation
details.
[CASCADE IN] [CASCADE OUT] Connectors (DME64N only)
This 68-pin D-SUB connector can be connected to the
CASCADE connector of other devices via a dedicated
cascade cable. The CASCADE connector transmits and
receives control, audio, and word clock signals. Refer to
“Cascade Connection ([Cascade] Connectors” on page
31 for connection details.
NOTE
Use a STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable for this
connection to prevent electromagnetic interference.
NOTE
The [IN] and [OUT] connectors each have 24 terminal
pins. Each of the eight inputs and outputs uses three
pins – hot, cold, and ground. Use the supplied 3-pin
Euroblock plugs to connect to the appropriate inputs
and outputs.
