| Automix |
(Click on image to see enlarged view) |
This block replicates the processing power of Yamahas famed SPX-Series effects units. Four separate instances of the effect can be used simultaneously in a single DME 64N/24N, and each features a total of 43 different presets – including reverb, echo, chorus, delay, amp simulator, and many more – which can be instantly called up at any time and tweaked in fine detail with the comprehensive parameters. Since the SPX effects are handled by a dedicated DSP, separate from the other component processing, there is no drain on main processor. |
| DME Control Integration with PM5D |
Selected parameters of the DME 64N/24N can be controlled directly from a PM5D Digital Audio Mixing Console, for seamless, efficient operation in any application. This feature is especially useful for hands-off, remote operation – for example, using it to remotely tweak the GEQ setting during a sound check, when the optimum listening position is far away from the unit itself.

DME64N / DME24N
Digital Mixing Engines |
| Can your sound processor do this? |
DSP configuration operable with one DME64N (Click to Enlarge) |
Ultimate sound quality. Flexible, yet, easy design. Convenient user interface. Cost effectiveness. Today, increasingly sophisticated solutions are in demand for professional audio systems, which means programmable digital signal processors play more important roles than ever. And the larger and more complex the application, the more DSP power, higher sound quality, better network compatibility and greater flexibility are required.
The DME64N and DME24N are Yamaha's answer to these demands. Just follow the arrow to the DSP configuration example at right. The DME64N packs enough DSP muscle to run them all. All by itself. With Yamaha sound quality, of course. Say good-bye to the limitations of conventional professional audio systems – for sound systems with virtually boundaryless response capabilities.
Sound quality that's turning the audio world on its ear
The DME64N and DME24N are descended from the technology that has made Yamaha the professional audio industry's acknowledged mixing console guru. The result is sound quality you won't find with any other product in its category. The kind that'll stand up to professional recording equipment. The DME24N, for instance, features newly developed head amplifiers – for reproduction of even the most subtle nuances of sound at 96kHz/24 bit operation.
Processing power for any application – and then some
The DME64N and DME24N feature multiple Yamaha stateof-the-art DSP7 LSIs designed exclusively for sound applications and packed with high-octane processing capabilities. Theyre the powerplants sound designers rely on to create those mammoth configurations requiring mind-boggling component arrays – and never worry once about running out of juice. Just how much power, you say? The DME64N features power equivalent to the Yamaha DM1000 digital mixer. The DME24N, about half that. Its the kind of power that brings new freedom to configuration creation, unprecedented flexibility to sound system design.
Hardware Features
DSP power that rivals the Yamaha DM1000 digital mixer and expands the boundaries of configuration design
The DME64N and DME24N offer such powerful performance complements of Yamaha's proprietary DSP7 and DSP6 LSIs, which were designed exclusively for audio processing. The DME64N features processing power to rival Yamahas highly acclaimed DM1000 digital mixer, while the DME24N offers about half that.
This awesome DSP power offers two big advantages. First, it gives a single DSP box enough muscle to build larger, more complex DSP configurations, giving audio designers a free hand in fine-tuning audio signals for systems in concert halls and a wide range of other venues. And second, it makes configuration design easier than ever – because configurations that once required multiple DSP boxes can now be run with one DME64N or DME24N. Which means big time and energy savings in both design and actual installation, making these Yamaha DMEs affordable solutions as well.
Sound-focused circuitry design with 24 bit/96kHz processing support for the ultimate in sound quality
Highly recommended by leading professionals for live performances and studio recording, Yamaha digital mixing engines inherit our cutting-edge audio technologies in mixing console development – including power supply unit placement and proper grounding. And the results speak for themselves. No wonder the DME64N and DME24N can deliver peerless fidelity in reproducing any original sound – to the point of rivalling a large mixing console. The DME24N, for instance, is redefining the boundaries of audio fidelity at 24bit/ 96KHz operation with newly developed head amplifiers onboard. Just one more reason the best sound in the world comes from Yamaha.
Exceptional I/O flexibility and expandability. Cascade up to 8 DME64Ns for 512 input/512 output capability
The DME64N features 4 mini–YGDAI slots on its rear panel for optional I/O cards. The DME24N features one slot. These slots support analog inputs and outputs when using high–precision A/D and D/A cards with up to 8 I/Os, as well as AES/EBU–, ADAT–, and TASCAM–compliant digital I/O cards with 16 I/Os. Thanks to these YGDAI slots, the DME64N and DME24N offer additional support for I/Os over a wide range of audio formats.
As a result, the DME64N can support up to 64 input and 64 output channels with 4 MY card slots. The DME24N accommodates up to 24 x 24 – with 8 analog inputs and 8 analog outputs onboard, plus one MY card slot. In addition, up to 8 DME64N devices can be cascaded to support large–scale applications, providing a maximum of 512 inputs/512 outputs with digital I/O MY cards and 128 inputs/128 outputs with analog I/O MY-cards.
DME24N rear panel features 8 analog input and 8 analog output terminals
The DME24N's rear panel features 8 mic/line analog inputs and 8 output Euroblock terminals. Each terminal offers built-in high-precision 24 bit/96 kHz A/D– and D/A–converters, which in practice, not only makes installation fast and easy, but translates into some of the best cost performance in the business.
MY16-C mini-YGDAI I/O card ensures CobraNet™ compatibility
With the addition of the new 16-I/O MY16-C card that supports the CobraNet™ advanced digital audio network, Yamaha's mini-YGDAI card portfolio now offers a broader range of digital format I/O cards. These cards enable network construction with other CobraNet™-compliant products – including the NHB32C network hub and bridge and the ACU16C amp control unit. The DME64N can support up to 2 MY 16-C cards. The DME24N, one.
Control Network via Ethernet
Up to 16 DME64N, DME24N and ICP1 intelligent control panel units can be connected via their RJ45 connectors to form an Ethernet network. Making use of existing 100base-T CAT 5 cables and other Ethernet infrastructure components enables quick, easy, cost-effective system construction.
Comprehensive GPI, RS-232C, USB and MIDI control signal support
The DME64N and DME24N offer a wide range of control interfaces for use with different units. The DME64N has 16 in and 16 out GPI ports to link with installed sound systems and other equipment. The DME24N has 8 I/O. What's more, both include RS232C / RS422 serial ports for interfacing with remote control units and PCs, USB ports for popular PC interfaces and MIDI IN/OUT interfaces for synchronization with electronic musical instruments, sequencers and stage lighting controllers.
Jumbo LCD display with extensive front panel controls
Both DME64N and DME24N offer outstanding ease of operation thanks to their large, easy-to-read backlit LCD displays and comprehensive clusters of front panel controls – LED status indicators, jog wheel and SCENE, Home and Utility keys. A monitoring headphone jack with phone level control is standard. The DME24N also provides SIGNAL and PEAK LED indicators on the front panel for 8 inputs and outputs.
Scene and function names in 5 languages
The DME64N, DME24N and ICP1 intelligent control panel can display names for scenes and function keys in 5 languages – Japanese, English, French, German and Spanish. And all 3 units feature a user-friendly interface for trouble-free operation regardless of level of skill or experience.

Yamaha's dedicated DME Designer software bundled with the DME64N or DME24N is used to program these units' powerful DSPs. By giving users the freedom to combine a broad spectrum of audio processing components, this software can produce audio configurations "made to order" for any and all applications.
Create configurations with drag-and-drop
Configurations combining and connecting components are created on DME Designer with a logical, straightforward graphic user interface similar to CAD applications. Its simple, yet advanced, operating techniques let users select components, connect lines and handle related tasks with drag-and-drop and other standard methods. What's more, DME Designer supports output of configuration data in dxf format importable to popular CAD software.
Central management of multiple mixing engines for more than 16 zone control
DME Designer can incorporate a total of 16 DME64N, DME24N and ICP1 units in a single zone, and open more than 16 zone windows simultaneously. You can store/recall each zone set-up as a scene containing multiple DME64N, DME24N and ICP1s, with individual parameter values for each DSP component, combined with one of 16*1 configurations memorable on each DME unit, and word clock setup. You can store/recall a maximum of 999 scenes*2. Created Scene can be uploaded to the DME unit for operation using the DME alone without the connection of a PC.

DME Designer is designed with 3 primary windows. The Main Window enables users to perform operations such as scene recall and preference settings. The Designer Window is used to create configurations for each DME64N, DME24N and ICP1. And the Component Window provides an advanced graphic user interface to edit individual DSP components and make detailed component settings. Each component includes a Snap Shot feature capable of temporary storage of up to 4 sets of component parameters. Simply clicking these sets — A, B, C or D — during editing offers users a fast, efficient means of comparing the sound produced by each.

The DME64N and DME24N provide support for a wide range of sound control components and effects. Crossover Processor, Crossover, Delay, Compander, Compressor, De Esser, Ducker, Expander, Gate, GEQ and PEQ are available for use over a wide range of applications. High-precision filtering is supported by band pass, high pass, low pass and notch filters, while components like the 64 X 64 Matrix facilitates internal sound mixing. The Delay Matrix Mixer allows users to set delay plus volume for each point. As a result, the matrix can be used to perform speaker alignment. Also included are Pan, Pan-LCR, Surround Processor, Router to Meter, Oscillator and Fader components.

The Matrix Mixer allows large-scale matrix mixing of up to 64X64. For the Delay Matrix Mixer, the delay value can be set in addition to the level at each point for time alignment and level setting using a single component.
| Surround 3-1, 5.1 and 6.1 |
These components support 3-1, 5.1 and 6.1 surround processing.
|
The effects built into the DME64N and DME24N are equivalent to those of Yamahas acclaimed SPX2000 Professional Multi-Effect Processor. This feature will enjoy widespread use in applications from live mixing to music production.

This component allows playback of wav format audio files. Memory size is 1 minute or more for 44.1kHz audio data (mono). (Playback time differs depending on configuration data size.)
|
|
Event Scheduler lets users set event schedules with its calendar and timer functions, and triggers other components like the WAV File Player and GPI transmission, which can be used to control external devices.
|
| User Component feature for unrestricted component combinations |
User Control
|
The User Component feature lets users create original components by combining existing components. Defining a combination of frequently used components as a user component makes creating configurations faster, easier and more efficient. Combining this feature with the User Control Function lets system designers allow the operation of selected components only. In combination with the Security setting function, system designers can protect any parameters they do not want opened or operated by end users.
User Control feature for gathering multiple component controllers
System integrators can create their own USER Control Panels by selecting desired controllers from each component. These controllers can be selected by drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste. User Control offers added user convenience in tasks like gathering frequently used controllers and selecting only parameters edited by end users.
|
| Security guaranteed with 10-level user designation |
The Security Setting feature identifies users via password input when logging onto the application. Users can be assigned one of 10 security levels, with each level given its own
access rights — Scene recall, browsing, parameter operation, editing or combinations of these rights. In this way, features available to each end user can be restricted. Combining the feature to lock each component and password protection for user components guarantees the confidentiality of components and parameters
set by system designers.
| Probe feature for listening to specific points |
The Probe feature allows listening of configurations at any specific point. This is a convenient feature that allows listening and checking of sounds for configuration errors and wiring mistakes using only the DME via the headphone jack with built-in oscillator.
