Controlling a DME Satellite’s internal head amps from a digital mixer

The internal head amp settings of a DME8i-ES or DME4io-ES can be remotely controlled from a digital mixer

such as the Yamaha PM5D or DM2000.

Connect the digital mixer to the DME series’ [REMOTE] connector, and use an Ethernet cable to make connec-

tions between the [NETWORK] connectors of the DME series.

From the digital mixer, DME series units can be controlled as an AD8HR. The gain and the phantom power

(+48V) can be controlled.

Controlling the DME Satellite from an external device

You can remotely control the DME Satellite from a connected RS-232C or RS-422 compatible controller, such

as those from AMX or Crestron.

Be sure to set the dip switch on the rear panel of the DME Satellite correctly (page 16) in accordance with a con-

nected RS-232C or RS-422 compatible remote controller. Do not change the dip switch setting to any other po-

sition while the devices are connected to prevent possible damage to the device(s).

NOTE

•Only one mixer can be connected within each device group.

• The digital mixer can be connected to any DME series unit, whether it is the group master or a slave unit.

• The ID number of the DME series unit being remotely controlled is speciﬁed from DME Designer.

For details on making this setting, refer to the “DME Designer Owner’s Manual.”

•If the connection between DME series units is broken, it will no longer be possible to communicate with DME units of an

ID number that follows the disconnected DME.

NOTE

• The port used for remote control is speciﬁed from DME Designer. For details on making this setting, refer to the “DME

Designer Owner’s Manual.”

•Refer to “DME Remote Control Protocol Speciﬁcations” on the Yamaha web site for more information on communication

protocols used to control the DME Satellite from an external device (such as those from AMX or Crestron).
