6 Checking sound output

In the case of DME24N, DME8i-C, DME4io-C, DME-

8i-ES or DME4io-ES units, appropriate HA control

settings must be made prior to checking the

system’s sound output.

6-1 Right-click the [Analog Input]

component and select [Open HA

Editor] from the drop-down menu.

An “Analog” dialog box that allows head amp

settings will appear.

By default, the gain is set to +10 dBu (i.e.,

the lowest possible gain).

6-2 Adjust the sensitivity to the correct

level for the connected audio

equipment.

n The level displayed by [Gain] is the sensitivity level to be

matched. As the sensitivity of most professional audio

equipment (using XLR connectors) is +4 dBu, the level

shown by [Gain] should be set to “4” in such a case.

When using input from microphones or other similar

sources, turn the dial clockwise to adjust the input volume

to a suitable level. Specifically, it is recommended that

the level shown by the input meter be peaking at around

-18 dB.

Connecting multiple DME units to a computer via Ethernet cables

In the following two cases, a USB cable should not be used to connect your computer and DME units for

actual operation; instead, you should make the necessary connections via Ethernet cables.

• Two or more DME units are to be controlled in a single device group (using a Network switch).

• When the distance between the DME unit and computer is too great for a USB connection.

n If a company or office network is to be used for this purpose, it will be necessary to switch back and forth between the DME

network and the regular network. In such a case, we recommend connection via USB or the use of a commercially-available

Ethernet/USB interface.

Setting example

n When multiple DME units are being used, the DME units are controlled in “device groups.” Since all DME units in a device group

are controlled via the group’s master DME unit, one DME unit in each group must be designated as the group master.

n When DME64N/24N units running firmware version 3.5 or earlier and DME64N/24N or DME Satellite units running firmware

versions 3.8 or later are combined in the same device group, DME64N/24N units running firmware version 3.5 or earlier cannot

be designated as the group master.

n The device group master DME unit can be connected to the computer via a USB cable. Slave DME units can be connected to

the group master via USB cables.

n Use a network switch that is capable of 100Base-TX operation.

n The maximum length of cables that can be used to connect DME units to a network switch is 100 meters. Proper operation at

this length, however, will depend on the quality of the network switch and cables used, and cannot be guaranteed.

n Use CAT5 STP (shielded twisted pair) type cable to maximize resistance to electromagnetic interference.

n If you are using multiple DME series units, set Link Mode on each unit to the same setting. Yamaha recommends that you select

100Base-TX for the Link Mode setting.

DME Network Settings

Before making the DME network connections, set the device group and IP address for each DME unit from

DME Designer via a USB connection.

By default, all DME units are assigned the IP address 192.168.000.002.

Please ensure that the USB-MIDI driver has been installed before proceeding.

n T

he same driver can be used for multiple DME units of the same type (DME64N, DME24N, DME Satellite). A common USB driver

can be used for multiple DME Satellite units.

n If using a DME64N or DME24N, setting can be performed directly via the front display (page 21). ICP1 settings can be made via

the unit’s control panel. Refer to “ICP1 settings and operation” of the DME Designer V3.8 Owner’s Manual.

In-depth Information on DME Units

Tips

Check Input Signals via the GPI Page

Signals received at the GPI IN terminals can be monitored in real time via the Utility screen GPI page on the

DME64N/24N control panel display, or via the DME Designer Utility dialog box GPI monitor. If the DME unit is not

responding properly even though the appropriate signals are being received at the GPI IN terminals, there may be

a problem with the DME settings. If there is no problem with the DME settings there may be a problem with the

DME unit itself.

Maximum length of GPI cables

CPEV cables with a core diameter of 0.65 mm or more can be used over distances of up to 100 m.
