Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.
When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is
easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off
the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power
switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum
level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug
the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
If this device is to be mounted in an EIA-standard rack, leave the back of the rack
open and make sure that it is at least 10 cm away from walls or surfaces. Also, if
this device is to be mounted with devices that tend to generate heat, such as
power amplifiers, be sure to keep an adequate gap between this device and the
heat-generating devices or install ventilation panels to prevent high
temperatures from developing inside this device.
Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the
device(s), or even fire.
If several of the devices are mounted in an EIA-compliant rack, carefully read the
section “Precautions for Using a Rack-mounted DME Satellite” on page 8.
•Avoid setting all equalizer controls and faders to their maximum. Depending on
the condition of the connected devices, doing so may cause feedback and may
damage the speakers.
Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat
(such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent
the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall
over.
Do not block the vents. This device has ventilation holes at the rear to prevent
the internal temperature from becoming too high. In particular, do not place the
device on its side or upside down. Inadequate ventilation can result in
overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even fire.
Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile
phone, or other electric devices. Doing so may result in noise, both in the device
itself and in the TV or radio next to it.

Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all devices.
Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to
minimum.
Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on the device.
Condensation can occur in the device due to rapid, drastic changes in ambient
temperature—when the device is moved from one location to another, or air
conditioning is turned on or off, for example. Using the device while
condensation is present can cause damage. If there is reason to believe that
condensation might have occurred, leave the device for several hours without
turning on the power until the condensation has completely dried out.
•Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into any
gaps or openings on the device. If this happens, turn off the power immediately
and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Do not use the device for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable
volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience
any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it, and avoid use
excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
This device has a built-in backup battery that maintains data in internal memory
even when the device’s power is switched off. The backup battery will eventually
become depleted, however, and when that happens the contents of the internal
memory will be lost.* To prevent loss of data be sure to replace the backup
battery before it becomes fully depleted. When the backup battery charge
becomes low, the [ERROR] indicator on the front panel blinks (For details, refer
to “Error Messages” on page 42).
In this case, do not turn off the power and immediately transfer any data you
want to save to a computer or other external storage device, then have qualified
Yamaha service personnel replace the backup battery. The average life of the
internal backup battery is approximately 5 years, depending on operating
conditions.
* Data items maintained in the internal memory by the backup battery are as
follows:
• Current scene parameters and number.
• Device parameters (CobraNet, HA, UTILITY, Master Mute/Level, etc.).
• Event log.
Data items other than those described above are stored in memory that does not
require backup power, and will be retained even if the backup battery fails.
Do not turn the [POWER] switch on and off repeatedly and rapidly. Be sure to wait six seconds or more between turning the power to the unit off and then on.
The rubber feet included in this package can be attached to the bottom of this device to prevent slippage when it is to be used on a slippery surface.
Always turn the power off when the device is not in use.
The performance of components with moving contacts, such as switches, volume controls, and connectors, deteriorates over time. Consult qualified Yamaha service
personnel about replacing defective components.

Precautions for Using a
Rack-mounted DME Satellite
If several DME Satellite units (or a DME Satellite unit to-
gether with other devices) are installed in a poorly-ventilated
rack, the heat generated by each unit may raise the tempera-
ture inside the rack, preventing the DME Satellite from per-
forming as designed. When mounting DME Satellite units
in a rack, please leave one rack space vacant for every two
units. You can attach a ventilation panel to this space or leave
it open to prevent excessive heat build-up.
If the temperature inside the rack is expected to rise above 40
degrees Celsius or 104 degrees Fahrenheit (or if the ambient
temperature outside the rack is expected to rise above 30 de-
grees Celsius or 86 Fahrenheit), install a fan kit in the top
row of the rack. The fan must provide airflow of 1.6m
3
/min
or more and static pressure of 5mmH
2
O or more.

Audio System Network
Multiple DME series units that are interconnected in a network via Ethernet function as a single audio system.
In a DME audio system, a group of the same models that can be operated in sync is called a “device group;” audio
processing divisions that accommodate multiple device groups are called “zones;” and the entire area serviced by
the acoustic system is called an “area.”
Each device group always includes one DME series unit that functions as the “group master” and controls all other
DME series units in the same device group.
If a computer is connected to the network, you can use the computer to control an entire device group via the
group master.
Glossary for the DME Satellite
This section explains terminology specific to the DME Satellite.
Components and parameters
The individual audio processing modules (equalizers, compressors, etc.) are called “components.”
External head amplifier control modules are also available as components.
Changing the parameters of components enables control over the operation of the components.
Configuration
A “configuration” is a complete set of components for constructing an audio system.
Each configuration determines the audio function(s) of the corresponding DME Satellite unit.
All parameter sets included with each component in a configuration are called “preset parameters.”
One DME Satellite unit has a number of configurations, and a configuration has a number of preset parameters.
User Defined buttons (User Defined parameters)
Assigning parameters to be User Defined parameters enables you to control the device from the ICP1 and the
DME64N/DME24N.

Signal Types
DME Satellite audio system signals can be broadly categorized as follows.
Audio
Analog and digital signals are input and output between the DME Satellite, other DME series units, and other
audio devices.
Analog signals are input and output via the [INPUT]/[OUTPUT] jacks. Digital signals are input and output via
the CobraNet jacks.
Device group control
Device group control signals control all DME series devices in the group.
There are two types of device group control signals, as follows:
Control signals between the computer and the group master DME series unit
Control signals between the group master DME series unit and the other DME series
units
You can use the DME Designer application to control the entire device group, such as sending components to the
devices and setting the parameters as required.
Device control
These signals provide communication and control between individual devices.
Included in this category are MIDI messages transferred between [USB] connectors, GPI signals transferred be-
tween [GPI] connectors, and remote head amp control signals handled via the [REMOTE] connector.

About DME Designer
DME Designer software enables you to integrate, configure, and control the DME series system from a connected
computer.
You can build the DME series audio system using graphic blocks in DME Designer that are displayed on the com-
puter monitor.
The DME series settings, configuration, and parameter data are transferred from the computer to the DME series
unit via the USB or Ethernet connection.
DME series settings, configuration, and parameter data is sent via USB or Ethernet to the connected DME series
unit. After the data is transmitted, you can disconnect the DME series unit from the computer and use it as an
independent processor.
You can also connect it to a computer and control it in realtime from DME Designer.
If multiple DME series units are connected in the network, DME Designer enables you to build a configuration
that includes those units.
Please download the DME Designer application, driver, DME setup manual, and DME Designer owner’s manual
at the following URL:
http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/
Refer to the “Connecting to a Computer” (page 22) for more information on connecting a computer to the DME
Satellite. For details on how to install DME Designer and the drivers that are required for connection, refer to the
“DME Setup Manual”.
Refer to the DME Designer Owner’s Manual for setup and operation instructions.

About CobraNet
CobraNet in a nutshell
Developed by Cirrus Logic, Inc., U.S., CobraNet technology allows real-time uncompressed digital audio distri-
bution over industry-standard Fast Ethernet (100 megabits/sec.) networks.
Up to 128 channels, 64 in each direction, can be carried simultaneously over a CobraNet network.
(The number of channels available depends on the performance of the devices and the condition of audio signals.)
CobraNet currently supports a 48 or 96 kHz sampling rate with 16, 20, or 24-bit resolution.
It can also transfer control data along with audio signals.
The type of control data that the network can handle depends on the type of devices on the network.
When an audio signal passes through the CobraNet network, it causes a fixed latency of 5.33 milliseconds (or,
depending on the setting, 2.67 or 1.33 milliseconds).
Visit the CobraNet home page for more information on CobraNet.
CobraNet home page
http://www.cobranet.info/
Bundle
CobraNet network transmits digital audio data in bundles. When bundles are received, they are converted back
into the original digital audio data.
With the DME Satellite, a single bundle can carry up to eight channels of digital audio.
For routing around the network, bundles are assigned numbers from 1 through 65,279. If you set the same bundle
number on both transmitting and receiving devices, digital audio data can be transmitted over CobraNet network.
There is no limitation to the number of bundles that can be transmitted and received over the CobraNet network,
as long as there are enough network resources.
The number of bundles that can be handled depends on the device.
The DME Satellite can use up to 4 output bundles and up to 8 input bundles.
You can specify the bundle number by using the DME Designer application.
The maximum number of channels that can be assigned to each bundle is as follows.
Maximum channels per bundle
* Since 96-kHz audio is handled as two 48-kHz signals combined, the maximum number of channels is halved.
** The audio signal output from the 4th channel will include some aliasing noise, and proper operation cannot be guaranteed.
Please do not use this channel.
Number of bundles per channel and usable channels
Latency 16bit, 48kHz 20bit, 48kHz 24bit, 48kHz 16bit, 96kHz 20bit, 96kHz 24bit, 96kHz

Multicast and unicast bundles
CobraNet bundles can be either multicast or unicast.
Multicast bundles are transmitted from one device to multiple devices on the network (one-to-many). Unicast
bundles are transmitted from one device to another (one-to-one).
Unicast bundles are transmitted only when another device is configured to receive them by assigning the same
bundle numbers. On the other hand, multicast bundles are transmitted to all devices on the network regardless of
whether any devices are configured to receive them, and only devices that are configured to receive those bundles
actually process them.
It is recommended that no more than four multicast bundles (offering up to 32 channels) be used, since transmis-
sion of multicast bundles consumes more network resources.
Unicast bundles should be used if five or more bundles are required. It is also possible to set multiple devices to
receive the same unicast bundle number, and depending on the transmitting device up to 4 receiving devices may
be able to simultaneously receive the same bundle. This situation is known as “multi-unicast.” The DME Satellite
is capable of handling multi-unicast bundles.
Multicast and unicast bundles are identified by bundle number. Multicast bundles are numbered 1 through 255.
Unicast bundles are numbered 256 through 65,279.
Multicast bundle
If Device A is transmitting multicast
bundles, they will be transmitted to
all devices on the CobraNet net-
work (e.g., Devices B, C, and D in
the example).
Unicast bundle
If Device A is transmitting unicast
bundles, and the same bundle num-
bers are assigned to the transmitting
bundles on Device A and receiving
bundles on Device D, then Device
A will transmit the unicast bundels
to Device D.

Conductors and performers
One device on the CobraNet network works as the conductor (network sync master). All other CobraNet devices
are performers (network sync slaves). Each device synchronizes its own internal clock to the beat packets (sync
signals) transmitted by the conductor.
The conductor device is chosen automatically and no user intervention is required.
However, setting an appropriate conductor priority could enable users to assign any device as the conductor.
Refer to the DME Designer Owner’s Manual for more information on setting the conductor priority.
If the DME Satellite is the conductor, the [IN USE/CONDUCTOR] LED flashes orange.
If the conductor fails, another device automatically takes over.
Since the conductor transmits beat packets (sync signals) onto the network, each performer does not require an
external word clock connection, reducing cabling complexity and cost.
Any non-networked digital audio equipment should derive its word clock from a CobraNet networked device.
Cables and hubs for CobraNet network
Category-5 metal cables can be used for runs of up to 100 meters. The maximum distance for multimode fiber
optic cable is 2 kilometers.
However, due to differences in cables, as well as switching hub and CobraNet device performance, proper opera-
tion at the maximum length cannot be guaranteed in all cases.
Always use switching hubs in a CobraNet network. When using metal cable for connections, be sure to use Cat-
egory 5 straight cables.
NOTE
All CobraNet networked devices, regardless of whether each device serves as the conductor or a performer, can receive digital
audio data and control data.

4 [ERROR] Indicator
Lights when an error occurs. The [PEAK] indicators reflect
the type of error. The [ERROR] indicator flashes when the
battery charge is getting low.
5 [IN USE/CONDUCTOR] Indicator
Lights orange when the power is supplied correctly to the
DME Satellite. It flashes while the device is operating as a
CobraNet conductor. If the secondary (backup) connector
on the DME Satellite is connected (page 21), the indicator
turns off every three seconds to indicate an abnormality on
the primary connection.
6 [LINK/ACTIVITY] Indicator
Lights up steadily or flashes slowly when cables are connect-
ed correctly to the CobraNet connectors. It flashes rapidly
while the unit is transferring data onto the network correctly.
If the secondary (backup) connection is being used for com-
munication, the indicator turns off every three seconds to in-
dicate an abnormality on the primary connection.
7 [PEAK] Indicators
Light red when the signal level at the corresponding built-in
analog audio inputs or outputs ([INPUT] or [OUTPUT]
connectors) reaches or exceeds -3 dBFS. They also indicate
an error number or status.
8 [SIGNAL] Indicators
Light green when the signal level at the corresponding built-
in analog audio inputs or outputs ([INPUT] or [OUTPUT]
connectors) reaches or exceeds -40 dBFS. They also indicate
the status, for example, of the initialization process.
9 [POWER] Switch
Turns mains power to the device on and off. The DME Sat-
ellite will start up with the same scene settings that were active
when it shut down. You can use the “Last Mem. Resume” set-
ting in DME Designer to set up the DME Satellite so that at
startup it will recall the scene selected before you turned off
the power to the device.
Caution when turning the
power off
Do not turn off the power while the front panel
[SIGNAL] indicators are lighting consecutively in
the clockwise direction.
This indicates that data is being written into internal mem-
ory, and part of the data may be damaged if you turn off the
power at this time. Data writing will occur during the fol-
lowing operations.
While shifting to on-line operation
While storing or recalling or deleting scene memory
While saving changes to the Utility settings
