ALLEN&HEATH
The ME Personal Mixing System puts the musician in control of their own
monitor mix. Each performer can be given a tailored setup that works
perfectly for them, whether they crave maximum control over the fine
details of their mix or just want the minimum of keys to press. Operation
is intuitive and elegant, with simple controls and clear visual feedback for
instant familiarity. The system has earned respect for rugged reliability
on the road, and of course it lives up to Allen & Heath’s reputation for
exceptional audio quality.
ME personal mixers are used by touring bands, orchestras, houses
of worship, recording studios, musical theatre shows, broadcasters
and more. With ME everyone benefits from quicker setups, slicker
soundchecks and lower sound levels on stage, while the audio engineer
is freed up to focus on the front of house sound or key performers. Both
ME-500 and ME-1 personal mixers are plug ‘n’ play compatible with our
own digital mixers, and users of many other consoles can also enjoy the
benefits thanks to the ME-U hub.
ALLEN&HEATH
ME-1
40 Source Personal Mixer
ME-1 is probably the most sophisticated personal mixer on the market, giving precision control
over up to 40 channels to satisfy the most demanding ears.
16 backlit keys
Each key is assignable to a single
mono or stereo source (e.g. bass
guitar) or to a group of sources (e.g.
the whole drumkit).
16 user presets
Levels, pan, mutes and key
assignments can all be stored and
recalled at the touch of a button.
Presets can also be stored to USB and
recalled on any ME-1 unit.
Groups
Sources can be grouped within the
ME-1, so each performer can use
different groups without consuming
buses on the main console.
Custom Naming
ME-1 can display custom names
for all channels and groups. ME-1s
connected to a dLive or SQ mixer
automatically pick up names from the
console.
Built-in ambient mic
The ambient mic keeps performers
in touch with the stage sound and
lets them hear the audience and
communicate with each other without
needing to pull out their ear pieces.

ME-U
10 Port PoE Monitor Hub
ME-U is a touring grade, 10 port PoE hub providing
power and audio to multiple ME-1 and/or ME-500
personal mixers. ME-U’s default input card allows
seamless integration with Allen & Heath dLive, SQ
and Qu mixers. Fitting a Dante or MADI option
• 10 ports with locking Ethercon connectors
• Each port provides power + audio to a ME-1 or ME-500
• Link 2 hubs for more ports
• Touring grade build quality
• 2U rack or desk mounting
• Connected ME-1s automatically pick up channel names from SQ or dLive mixers
• Connect PC/Mac for setup of unit name and IP address, and manual entry of channel names
card to the ME-U allows users of other pro digital
mixer brands to feed up to 40 sources to ME-1s,
or up to 16 sources to ME-500s.
When to use ME-U
If you’re using Allen & Heath digital consoles, ME-U gives
you the option to take your ME system to the next level of
professionalism, eliminating the clutter of separate power
supplies for each directly connected ME-1 or ME-500 unit and
providing a high quality, road-proven alternative to standard
PoE hubs. If you’re using other console brands, ME-U is your
gateway to the ME system, with MADI, Dante and Waves SG
option cards allowing a digital feed of up to 40 sources from
third party systems.
ME-500
16 Channel Personal Mixer
ME-500 is a powerful walk-up-and-mix solution
that’s quick to set up and easy for just about
anyone to learn in moments. The ME-500 personal
mixer’s intuitive hands-on controls and crisp visual
Fast Setup
With ME-500 there’s no timeconsuming configuration of
individual units. The first 16 mono
/ stereo channels and / or mixes
assigned from the mixer will be
automatically mapped to ME500’s 16 select keys, so it’s fast
and simple to deploy personal
mixers in pressured situations
such as festivals.
8 user presets
Levels, pan, mutes and key
assignments can all be stored
and recalled at the touch of a
button. Presets can be saved
to USB and easily transferred to
different ME-500s.
display make it easy for musicians to quickly build
and control their own monitor mixes. With plug ‘n’
play setup and self-sufficient musicians, ME-500 is
also a massive time-saver for the audio engineer.
Which ME is right for ME?
Although superficially similar, ME-1 and
ME-500 are quite different solutions
for different types of users and
scenarios. For resident artists (such
as a broadcast house band or church
praise band), shows with high channel
counts and plenty of rehearsal time,
ME-1 allows the engineer to configure
each unit to perfectly reflect each
artist’s tastes and needs. For budgetconscious or low channel count
applications, or for more impromptu
scenarios where the engineer and
artists have very limited soundcheck
time (festivals being the typical
example), ME-500 is a great solution
for getting the show up and running
with minimum fuss.
