MM Productions Ltd - Yamaha DME32 Digital Signal

Yamaha DME32 Digital Signal Processor back to processors

The DME 32 is one of the new Digital Signal Processors that allow the operator to configure their own system via a computer interface. The unit shown above provides the processing power and the audio to digital conversion and the audio ins and outs, as well as storing 2 configurations and associated scenes (each configuration can have up tp 99 scenes). The computer runs the DME Manager program and connects to the DME via RS232/RS422. The program can be used 'offline' to configure your set-up. See the table below for a list of the components available. Once configured, the set-up can be downloaded to the DME, edited in real time (ideal for technical/dress rehearsals), and then the computer is removed, leaving the DME to carry on. Configuration and Scene Changes can be done via MIDI or the GPI connections on the rear. Click to see the rear connections.

Inputs - Analogue	8 x 1/4" Stereo Jack, wordclock on BNC
Outputs - Analogue	12 x MXLR, wordclock on BNC
MIDI	5-pin DIN - 1 x IN, 1 x OUT
GPI	16 Genreal Purpose Interface Inputs/Outputs. 4 euro block connectors allowing 16 relay/switch connections to modify programmable paramaters within the DME. For example, input 1 could be assigned to recall scene 1, input 2 to recall scene 2 and so on.
PC Control	9-pin D-sub male. Switchable from RS232 and RS422
Cascade In/Out	50-pin half-pitch connector to connect DMEs in a multiple machine set-up
Memory	2 configurations A&B, each with 99 scenes.
Power	IEC Power lead.
Weight	5kg

**A Selection of Component options**
2-way Crossover	Delayed Mixer	Expander	Chorus
3-way Crossover	Compander	Gate	Flange
4-way Crossover	Compressor	Reverbs	Symphonic
Crossover processor	De-esser	Effect Delay	Phaser
Delay (1-8 outs)	Ducker	Echo	Auto Pan
Parametric EQ (2-8 band)	Tremolo	HQ Pitch	Mod Filter
Graphic EQ (7,15 and 31 band)	Fader	Matrix Mixer	Meter
Delayed Mixer	Oscillator	Gain Trimmer	Switch

The above table is a selection of the possible components, for example, the crossovers have many variants depending on Filter slope and crossover type. The number of components you can have at one time depends on the DSP capacity available - the DME Manager software has a meter that tells you how much you are using. When combined with a computer, the DME is the ideal solution for controlling and managing large sound systems.
