Remote Connection ([REMOTE] Connector)

The [REMOTE] connector of the DME Satellite can be connected to remotely-controllable Yamaha AD8HR or

AD824 head amplifiers (pre-amps), digital mixers, or RS-232C compatible controllers (such as those from AMX

or Crestron). The [REMOTE] connector also transmits and receives MIDI messages.

Controlling external head amplifiers from the DME Satellite

You can remotely control the AD8HR or AD824 head amplifier settings from DME Designer. Up to eight

AD8HR/AD824 head amplifiers can be connected.

Be sure to set the dip switch on the rear panel of the DME Satellite to “RS-422” (page 16) when connecting to

AD8HR or AD824 remote head amplifiers. Do not change the dip switch setting to any position other than to

“RS-422” while the devices are connected to prevent possible damage to the device(s).

When connecting to a combination of AD8HR and AD824 head amplifiers, be sure to place the AD8HR units

closest to the DME Satellite in the chain, otherwise the AD8HR or AD824 unit(s) may not be properly recognized

by the DME Satellite.

NOTE

Only control signals are transmitted and received via the REMOTE connection. Audio connections must be made separately.
