- 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.

Handling caution

• Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on the device.
• Condensation can occur in the device due to rapid, drastic changes in ambient temperature—when the device is moved from one location to another, or air conditioning is turned on or off, for example. Using the device while condensation is present can cause damage. If there is reason to believe that condensation might have occurred, leave the device for several hours without turning on the power until the condensation has completely dried out.
• A void inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the device. 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 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 that maintains data in internal memory even when the device's power is switched off. The backup battery will eventually become depleted, however, and when that happens the contents of the internal memory will be lost.* To prevent loss of data be sure to replace the backup battery before it becomes fully depleted. When the backup battery charge becomes low, the [ERROR] indicator on the front panel blinks (For details, refer to "Error Messages" on page 38).

In this case, do not turn off the power and immediately transfer any data you want to save to a computer or other external storage device, then have qualified Yamaha service personnel replace the backup battery. The average life of the internal backup battery is approximately 5 years, depending on operating conditions.

* Data items maintained in the internal memory by the backup battery are as follows:

• Current scene parameters and number.
  • Device parameters (HA, UTILITY, Master Mute/Level, etc.).
• Event log.

Data items other than those described above are stored in memory that does not require backup power, and will be retained even if the backup battery fails.

Do not turn the [POWER] switch on and off repeatedly and rapidly. Be sure to wait six seconds or more between turning the power to the unit off and then on.

The rubber feet included in this package can be attached to the speaker to prevent slippage when it is to be used on a slippery surface.

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.

Be sure to use the voltage specified for the device.

Turning the power on and off

To prevent the initial power-on surge from generating a large noise spike or damaging your speaker system, turn the devices on in the following order: audio sources, mixer (such as M7CL or PM5D), DME Satellite, and finally power amplifiers.

Reverse this order when turning power off.

1. Press the [POWER] switch to turn on the power to the DME Satellite.
2. Press the [POWER] switch again to turn off the power.

NOTE

The DME Satellite remembers scene settings when you turn off the power.

When you turn on the power to the DME Satellite, it will start up with the same scene settings.

You can use the “Last Mem. Resume” setting in DME Designer to set up the DME Satellite so that at the startup it will recall the scene selected before you turned off the power to the device.

• Do NOT turn off the power to the DME Satellite while it is receiving data from DME Designer or while it is being manipulated from an external device. Otherwise, a malfunction may occur.
• Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product all the minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Introduction to the DME Satellite

Differences between DME8i-ES, DME8o-ES, and DME4io-ES

The differences between these three models are as follows:

DME8i-ES

This model features 8-channel analog inputs.

DME8o-ES

This model features 8-channel analog outputs.

DME4io-ES

This model features 4-channel analog inputs and 4-channel analog outputs.

DME Satellite Features

In addition to basic mixing and matrix output functions, the DME Satellite includes a equalizers, compressors, delay, etc. – that can be patched together via DME Designer to configure just about any audio system you need. The EtherSound connectors on the device enable you to remotely control analog inputs and outputs by transferring digital audio signals via a network.

The following steps summarize the process for setting up the DME Satellite for use: (For details, refer to the “DME Setup Manual”.)

1. Install USB-MIDI Driver, DME Designer and DME-N Network Driver.
2. Set up the network from DME Designer (page 19).
3. Connect devices.

1. Make network settings on your computer.
2. Create a configuration using DME Designer, then transfer it to the DME Satellite.

Audio System Network

Multiple DME series units that are interconnected in a network via Ethernet function as a single audio system.

In a DME audio system, a group of the same models that can be operated in sync is called a “device group;” audio processing divisions that accommodate multiple device groups are called “zones;” and the entire area serviced by the acoustic system is called an “area.”

Each device group always includes one DME series unit that functions as the “group master” and controls all other DME series units in the same device group.

If a computer is connected to the network, you can use the computer to control an entire device group via the group master.

Glossary for the DME Satellite

This section explains terminology specific to the DME Satellite.

Components and parameters

The individual audio processing modules (equalizers, compressors, etc.) are called "components."

External head amplifier control modules are also available as components.

Changing the parameters of components enables control over the operation of the components.

Configuration

A "configuration" is a complete set of components for constructing an audio system.

Each configuration determines the audio function(s) of the corresponding DME Satellite unit.

All parameter sets included with each component in a configuration are called "preset parameters."

One DME Satellite unit has a number of configurations, and a configuration has a number of preset parameters.

User Defined buttons (User Defined parameters)

Assigning parameters to be User Defined parameters enables you to control the device from the ICP1 and the DME64N/DME24N.

Refer to the "DME Designer Owner's Manual" for details.

Scene

A combination of all configuration and preset parameters is called a "scene."

Scenes can be recalled from an ICP1, GPI device, other external controllers, DME64N/DME24N, or computer.

Up to 999 scenes can be stored for each device group.

Signal Types

DME Satellite audio system signals can be broadly categorized as follows.

1 Audio

Analog and digital signals are input and output between the DME Satellite, other DME series units, and other audio devices. Analog signals are input and output via the [INPUT]/[OUTPUT] jacks. Digital signals are input and output via the EtherSound jacks.

2 Control signals within a device group

Device group control signals control all DME series devices in the group.

There are two types of device group control signals, as follows:

• Control signals between the computer and the group master DME series unit
• Control signals between the group master DME series unit and the other DME series units

You can use the DME Designer application to control the entire device group, such as sending components to the devices and setting the parameters as required.

3 Control signals between devices outside the device group

These signals provide communication and control between individual devices.

Included in this category are MIDI messages transferred between [USB] connectors, GPI signals transferred between [GPI] connectors, and remote head amp control signals handled via the [REMOTE] connector.

About DME Designer

DME Designer software enables you to integrate, configure, and control the DME series system from a connected computer.

You can build the DME series audio system using graphic blocks in DME Designer that are displayed on the computer monitor.

The DME series settings, configuration, and parameter data are transferred from the computer to the DME series unit via the USB or Ethernet connection.

DME series settings, configuration, and parameter data is sent via USB or Ethernet to the connected DME series unit. After the data is transmitted, you can disconnect the DME series unit from the computer and use it as an independent processor.

You can also connect it to a computer and control it in realtime from DME Designer.

If multiple DME series units are connected in the network, DME Designer enables you to build a configuration that includes those units.

Precautions for Using a Rack-mounted DME Satellite

If several DME Satellite units (or a DME Satellite unit together with other devices) are installed in a poorly-ventilated rack, the heat generated by each unit may raise the temperature inside the rack, preventing the DME Satellite from performing as designed. When mounting DME Satellite units in a rack, please leave one rack space vacant for every two units. You can attach a ventilation panel to this space or leave it open to prevent excessive heat build-up.

If the temperature inside the rack is expected to rise above 40 degrees Celsius or 104 degrees Fahrenheit (or if the ambient temperature outside the rack is expected to rise above 30 degrees Celsius or 86 Fahrenheit), install a fan kit in the top row of the rack. The fan must provide airflow of 1.6m^3/min or more and static pressure of 5mmH_2O or more.

Connecting to a Computer

USB Connection

To connect multiple DME Satellite units to a network, you must assign appropriate IP addresses and make other network settings on all units. To achieve this, you need to connect the [USB] connector of one of the DME Satellite units to the USB port of the computer using USB cables, install USB-MIDI Driver and DME Designer on the computer, then assign the IP addresses to the DME Satellite units from DME Designer.

NOTE

• Refer to the "DME Setup Manual" (PDF file) for details on installing USB-MIDI Driver and DME Designer.
• Make sure that the USB-MIDI Driver's THRU setting is "OFF."
• Refer to "Network Settings" on page 19 for more information on assigning IP addresses from DME Designer.

USB connections can be used in the following three ways:

(1) Set up the network (e.g., assign a unique IP address to each DME Satellite) from DME Designer.
(2) Control the DME Satellite from DME Designer.
(3) Connect to any individual DME Satellite and control that DME Satellite unit by transmitting MIDI commands from a MIDI sequencer or similar software.

NOTE

• The computer on which DME Designer is running can be connected to either the group master or a slave DME series unit. In this case, set the DME Satellite as the group master.
• The correspondence between the MIDI commands to be received/transmitted and the scene parameters can be set up using DME Designer.
  • The USB port being used by DME Designer is not available for use by a MIDI sequencer or other application.

Network Settings

Use DME Designer to specify the IP address, master/slave, and master ID settings as follows.

Setting the IP address

Network Address Host Address HDD Pin List (FFR) HDD USB Client (USB) Release USB to 01 Network Setup Master/Slave IP Address 150 168 8 2 Master ID 150 168 8 2 LVA Mode 100bit 100bit TX MAC Address 00 A0 DE 25 15 A0 OK Cancel

Each group of digits between periods in an IP address is called an “octet.” These groups of digits are called “1st octet,” “2nd octet,” etc., starting from the left-most digit group.

You cannot specify 0, 127, or 223 through 255 for the 1st octet of the network address.

You can specify the following range of values for the 4th octet.

Master: 2-253

Slave : 3-253

NOTE

• S ubnet mask is fixed at 255.255.255.0.
  • The network address of Gateway is the same as that of IP address. The host address of Gateway is automatically set to 254.
• Assign each of DME series units a unique IP address so that there are no duplicates. Assigning duplicate IP addresses may cause serious network problems.
• You cannot make any network settings while using the DME Designer application on-line. To make network settings, first set DME Designer off-line. Refer to the DME Designer Owner's Manual for details.

Master and slave setting

Each device group must have one master. All other devices in the group are assigned as slave.

The fourth octet of a slave DME Satellite's master ID must be the same value as the fourth octet of the group master DME Satellite's IP address.

NOTE

When using a DME Satellite together with the DME64N/24N, you must assign the DME Satellite (including the DME8i-C/DME8o-C/DME4io-C) as the master. If you assign the DM64N/24N as the device group master, you will be unable to synchronize using DME Designer.

Ethernet Connection ([NETWORK] Connector)

To control the DME Satellite from the computer via Ethernet, use an Ethernet cable to connect the [NETWORK] connector on the rear panel of the DME Satellite to the computer, then install DME-N Network Driver.

NOTE

• Refer to the "DME Setup Manual" (PDF file) for details on installing DME-N Network Driver.
• Appropriate IP addresses must first be assigned to all devices connected to an Ethernet network. Connect your computer to one of the DME Satellite units via USB, then assign the IP addresses from DME Designer (page 18).

Two DME Satellite units directly connected via Ethernet

DME Satellite Ethernet Cable DME Satellite USB Cable

You can connect devices in the same device group directly to each other using Ethernet cables, without connecting them to a switching hub. If they are DME Satellite units, you can use either crossover cables or straight cables. In this case, from DME Designer set Link Mode on both units to the same setting. Devices in different subnet (different network address) groups can be connected via a router or layer-3 compliant switching hub.

HINT

Since the DME Satellite supports Auto MDI/MDI-X, it will automatically detect whether the connected cable is of the straight type or crossover type, and will configure itself to create the optimal connection. Therefore, you can use either a straight or crossover cable.

Cable preparation

• To prepare the cable for attachment to a Euroblock connector, strip the wire as shown in the illustration, and use stranded wire to make connections. With a Euroblock connection, the stranded wire may be prone to breakage because of metal fatigue due to the weight of the cable or due to vibration. When rack-mounting your equipment, use a lacing bar when possible to bundle and fasten the cables.
• I f cables will be frequently connected and disconnected, as in the case of a portable installation, we recommend that you use ferrules with insulation sleeves. Use a ferrule whose conductor portion has an external diameter of 1.6 mm (1.3 mm for GPI) or less, and a length of approximately 7 mm (5 mm for GPI) (such as the AI0,5-6WH made by the Phoenix Contact corporation).

approx.7 mm (5 mm for GPI)

approx.7 mm (5 mm for GPI) 1.6 mm (1.3 mm for GPI) or less

If you use stranded wire, do not tin (plate with solder) the exposed end.

1. Loosen terminal screws.

2. Insert cables.

3. Securely tighten terminal screws.

Pull the cables (not too strongly) to confirm that they are securely connected.

4. Insert the Euroblock plug into the Euroblock connector on the rear panel.

Supplementary Information 1

Messages Transmitted When Multiple Messages are Assigned to the Same Parameter

The DME8i-ES/DME8o-ES/DME4io-ES MIDI transmit messages are specified via the “MIDI Control Change Table” and “MIDI Parameter Change Table.”

(The "MIDI Control Change Table" and "MIDI Parameter Change Table" can be set up via DME Designer.)

Multiple messages can be assigned to a single parameter, but the DME8i-ES/DME8o-ES/DME4io-ES will only transmit one of the assigned messages.

The transmitted messages are as follows:

- If a Control Change message and a Parameter Change message are assigned to the same parameter → the Control Change message will be transmitted.

- If multiple Control Change numbers are assigned to the same parameter → the smallest Control Change number message will be transmitted.

- If multiple Parameter Change numbers are assigned to the same parameter → the smallest Parameter Change number message will be transmitted.

Supplementary Information 2

Setting the Parameter Change Message Parameter Data Values The Parameter change parameter values are expressed as 32-bit integers with or without parity.

- A parity bit (positive:0, negative:1) is added above the most significant value bit (bit 31).

- Fractional parameters will be converted according to the integer table.

- For integers with parity, negative numbers are expressed as the 2's complement.
