Introduction
This document describes the new features of DME32 Version 1.5 and should be used in
conjunction with the original DME32 Owner’s Manual .
32x32 & 32x16 Matrix Mixer Components
The new 32x32 and 32x16 Matrix Mixer components, shown below, allow the creation
of even larger matrix mixing systems. Note that since these components are processor
intensive, only one of these components can be used with a single DME32 at any one
time.
Each Matrix Mixer control window features an IN section, with various input channel
controls, and an OUT section, with fader and meter for each output channel. The
32x32 Matrix Mixer control window is shown below.

When a channel is soloed, “SOLO OFF” changes to “SOLO ON.” This is convenient on
control windows where the input channels are organized into pages and it’s not possible
to see all SOLO buttons simultaneously.
For components with five or more outputs (i.e., five or more bus level controls
per input channel), the bus level controls in the IN section can be scrolled up or
down by clicking the two arrow buttons shown here.
The parameter ranges for the Matrix Mixers are as follows.

ON/OFF Mutes each input channel
Mute to +10.0 dB Adjusts the level of each input channel
ON/OFF Mutes each output channel
Mute to +10.0 dB Adjusts the level of each output channel
For Matrix Mixer components with more than four inputs or outputs, channels are
arranged into pages consisting of four channels. Previously, channels were arranged
into pages consisting of six channels.

Stereo PEQ & GEQ Components
The five new stereo PEQ (parametric equalizer) and three new stereo GEQ (graphic
equalizer) components make it easier to process stereo signals. Essentially these are stereo versions of the existing EQ components.
PEQ
The five stereo PEQ components are shown below.
Each stereo PEQ component features two inputs and two outputs.
Each PEQ control window features an EQ graph and INPUT, EQ BAND, and OUTPUT sections. Since the only difference between all the stereo PEQ components is the
number of bands, only the stereo 4 BAND PEQ control window is shown here.
The parameter ranges for the stereo PEQ components are as follows.

The EQ graph at the top of the window displays the EQ settings graphically, as shown
in the following example. The number of each EQ band appears along the top of the
graph.

In addition to using the rotary controls, the frequency (F) and gain (G) parameters for
each band can be set by dragging the small circles on the EQ graph. When the cursor is
placed over a circle, it changes to a hand and the curve can then be dragged to achieve
the required setting.

GEQ
The three stereo GEQ components are shown below.
Each GEQ control window consists of five sections: INPUT, HPF, LPF, EQ bands, and
OUTPUT. The center frequency of each band is shown above each slider. Since the only
difference between all the GEQ components is the number of bands, only the stereo 15
BAND GEQ control window is shown here.
The parameter ranges for the stereo GEQ components are as follows.
