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

The internal head amp settings of a DME8i-C or DME4io-C 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.
Digital Mixer
NO T E
• 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.
• The variable range of GAIN differs between the AD8HR and the DME Satellite. You cannot use the mixer to specify a value
that exceeds the variable range of the DME Satellite.

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 20) 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).

• 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).
