PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, ﬁre or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/Power cord

• Only use the voltage speciﬁed as correct for the device. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the device.

• Use only the speciﬁed power cord .

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

Do not open

• Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The device contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

Water warning

• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.

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

If you notice any abnormality

• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the device, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• If this device should be dropped or damaged, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

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:

Power supply/Power cord Location

• 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.

•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 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 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.

Connections

• 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.

• Be sure to connect to a properly grounded power source. A ground screw terminal is provided on the rear panel for safely grounding the device and preventing electrical shock.

Maintenance

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

Handling caution

• 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.

Backup battery

• This device has a built-in backup battery. When you unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, the internal SRAM data is retained. However, if the backup battery fully discharges, this data will be lost. When the backup battery is running low, the Display indicates “Low Battery” or “No Battery.” In this case, immediately save the data to an external devices such as a computer, then have qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel replace the backup battery.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modiﬁcations to the device, or data that is lost or destroyed.

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.

DME64N/24N Audio System Overview

The DME64N/24N Conﬁgurable Digital Mixing Engine

In addition to basic mixing and matrix output functions, the DME64N/24N includes a full range of processing modules – equalizers, compressors, reverb and delay, effects, etc. – that can be patched together using the DME Designer software to support just about any audio system you need. It can serve as the central audio processing and routing unit in an installed system, or it can serve to augment the functionality of an existing or touring system. A few examples are provided below:

Matrix Output Expansion

Particularly in concert situations there always seems to be a need for more feeds and outputs. The DME64N/ 24N can function as an extremely versatile output matrix/router system that can be easily reconﬁgured to meet changing system requirements.

System Examples

Single DME24N: A Meeting Room Installation

Here’s an example of a single DME24N used to control the sound in four partitionable regions. The built-in microphone preampliﬁers and A/D converters allow direct connection of up to 8 microphone inputs, while the 8 analog outputs can directly feed four stereo power ampliﬁers. Scenes can be set up to handle any of the possible partition conﬁgurations, allowing background music and microphone sources to be handled as required by each conﬁguration. In this example an ICP1 Intelligent Control Panel is installed in one region to allow scene recall and parameter control. Other regions have a 1-fader 1-switch CP1SF control panels to allow users to adjust microphone and background music levels.

System Examples

Multiple DME64N: Large Stadium Or Multi-purpose Hall System

In this system live audio from microphones is mixed with background music and other sources in the central control room using a Yamaha DM1000 digital mixing console. A DM1000 equipped with an MY16-AE digital I/O card and an NHB32-C network hub bridge can feed the control room output to the system’s DME64N units over distances of up to 2 kilometers via multimode optical ﬁber cables. The control room also houses the system-control computer running the DME Designer application software, and an ICP1 Intelligent Control Panel for general DME unit control. The audio and control signals from the control room are distributed to four amp rooms (zones) via the CobraNet Ethernet cable. One or more DME64N units in each amp room handles signal routing and output processing (equalization, limiting, crossover) and the resultant digital output is converted to analog audio and fed to the power ampliﬁers via ACU16-C Ampliﬁer Control Units. Scene switching to accommodate a variety of spectator/audience seating areas for different types of events can be handled from both the control-room PC and ICP1 control panel.
