should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and

have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet

conditions,or place on it any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses)

containing liquids which might spill into any openings.

If any liquid such as water seeps into the device, turn off the power

immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the

device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item

may fall over and cause a fire.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or

damage to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is not to be used

for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• When removing the electric plug from the device or an outlet, always hold

the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.

• When setting up the device, 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.

• 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 front and

rear to prevent the internal temperature from rising too high. In particular,

do not place the device on its side or upside down, or place it in any

poorly-ventilated location, such as a bookcase or closet.

• Do not place the device in a location where it may come into contact with

corrosive gases or salt air. Doing so may result in malfunction.

• Remove the power plug from the AC outlet when cleaning the device.

• Do not insert your fingers or hand in any gaps or openings on the device

(vents, ports, etc.).

• Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into

any gaps or openings on the device (vents, ports, etc.) 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 or headphones 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 remaining capacity of the backup

battery becomes so low that it needs to be replaced a “Low Battery”

or “No Battery” message will appear on the display during operation

or when the device is powered on. If either of these messages

appears 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 (SLOT, 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.

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.

To avoid the possibility of damage to the product, data or other property, follow the notices below.

 Handling and Maintenance

• Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,

mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the device, TV, or radio

may generate noise.

• 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.

connecting AC mains power.

To prevent the initial power-on surge from

generating a large noise spike or damaging

your speaker system, turn the devices on in

the following order: audio sources, mixer

(such as M7CL or PM5D), DME64N/24N, and

finally power amplifiers.

Reverse this order when turning power off.

NOTE

The DME64N/24N remembers scene settings when you

turn off the power.

When you turn on the power to the DME64N/24N, it will

start up with the same scene settings.

You can set up the DME64N/24N so that at the startup it

will recall the scene selected before you turned off the

power to the device. (page 48)

Do NOT turn off the power to the DME64N/24N

while it is receiving data from DME Designer

or while it is being manipulated from an

external device. Otherwise, a malfunction may

occur.

Even when the power switch is turned off,

electricity is still flowing to the product all 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.

Differences between DME64N/24N

DME64N/DME24N Owner’s Manual

9

Differences between DME64N/24N

The DME64N has four I/O card slots, while the DME24N has one I/O card slot and eight channels of built-

in analog audio I/O.

A single I/O card can handle up to 16 channels of audio I/O, so the DME64N can handle a maximum of 64

audio I/O channels. The DME24N can handle up to 24 audio I/O channels.

The DME64N has approximately double the DSP processing power of the DME24N.

DME64N/24N Features

In addition to basic mixing and matrix output functions, the DME64N/24N includes a equalizers, compres-

sors, delay, etc. – that can be patched together via DME Designer to configure just about any audio system

you need.

Audio System Network

Multiple DME series units that are interconnected in a network via Ethernet function as a single audio sys-

tem.

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 DME64N/24N

This section explains terminology specific to the DME64N/24N.

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 DME64N/24N unit.

All parameter sets included with each component in a configuration are called “preset parameters.”

One DME64N/24N unit has a number of configurations, and a configuration has a number of preset param-

eters.

User Defined buttons

Assigning parameters to be User Defined Buttons enables you to control the device from the ICP1 and the

DME64N/DME24N.

Refer to the DME Designer Owner’s Manual for details.

Scene

A combination of all configuration and preset parameters is called a “scene.”

Scenes can be recalled from an ICP1, GPI device, other external controllers, DME64N/DME24N, or com-

puter.

Up to 999 scenes can be stored for each device group.

Signal Types

DME64N/DME24N Owner’s Manual

11

Signal Types

DME64N/24N audio system signals can be broadly categorized as follows.

1 Audio

The DME64N/24N will be required to send and receive audio signals to and from other DME series units as

well as other audio equipment.

Audio signal transmission and reception will occur primarily via the [INPUT] and [OUTPUT] connectors on

the DME24N.

2 Control signals within a device group

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.

3 Control signals between devices outside the device group

These signals provide communication and control between individual devices.

Included in this category are MIDI messages transferred between [USB] connectors, GPI signals trans-

ferred between [GPI] connectors, and remote head amp control signals handled via the [REMOTE] connec-

tor.

About DME Designer

DME Designer software enables you to integrate, configure, and control the DME series system from a con-

nected computer.

You can build the DME series audio system using graphic blocks in DME Designer that are displayed on

the computer 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 configura-

tion 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

DME64N/24N. For details on how to install DME Designer and the drivers that are required for connection,

Attaching the cable clamp.

Be sure to properly ground the device to prevent possible electrical shock.

First plug the female-connector end of the AC cord into the [AC IN] socket on the rear panel of the

DME64N/24N, then plug the male plug into an appropriate AC mains outlet. Make sure the AC power to be

used complies with the conditions marked on the top cover of the device.

Use only the AC power cord supplied with the DME64N/24N. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged

and needs to be replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement

can pose a fire and shock hazard!

The type of AC power cord provided with the DME64N/24N may be different depending on the

country in which it is purchased (a third prong may be provided for grounding purposes). Improper

connection of the grounding conductor can create the risk of electrical shock. Do NOT modify the

plug provided with the DME64N/24N. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed

by a qualified electrician. Do not use a plug adapter which defeats the grounding conductor.

3. Install the DME Designer software and necessary drivers on the computer to be used for

device group control.

See the “DME Setup Manual” (PDF file) for details.
