Connecting to an External Device

Remote Connection ([REMOTE] Connector)

DME64N/24N Owner’s Manual 29

Controlling a DME24N’s internal head amps from a digital mixer

The internal head amp settings of a DME24N can be remotely controlled from a digital mixer such as the Yama-

ha PM5D or DM2000.

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

nections 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 DME64N/24N from an external device

You can remotely control the DME64N/24N from a connected RS-232C or RS-422 compatible controller,

such as those from AMX or Crestron.

When connecting a remote controller via RS-232C or RS-422, be sure to set the “Utility” screen “MISC” page

(see manual page 49) “Remote” parameter to match the controller being connected. Also, do change this setting

while the unit is connected. Doing so can damage the unit.

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 gr oup master or a slave unit.
•The ID number of the DME series unit being r emotely 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.
•The variable range of GAIN differs betw een the AD8HR and the DME24N. You cannot use the mixer to specify a value
that exceeds the variable range of the DME24N.
NOTE
Refer to “DME Remote Control Protocol Specifications” on the Yamaha web site for more information on communication
protocols used to control the DME64N/24N from an external device (such as those from AMX or Crestron).
