owner’s manual that came with the Control Panel, as well as the

DME Designer Owner’s Manual.

Be sure to turn all devices OFF before connecting AC

mains power.

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), DME64N/24N, and

ﬁnally power ampliﬁers.

Reverse this order when turning power off.

NOTE

The DME64N/24N remembers scene settings when you turn

off the power.

When you turn on the power to the DME64N/24N, it will

start up with the same scene settings.

You can set up the DME64N/24N so that at the startup it will

recall the scene selected before you turned off the power to the

device.(page 48)

Do NOT turn off the power to the DME64N/24N

while it is receiving data from DME Designer or while it

is being manipulated from an external device. Otherwise,

a malfunction may occur.

CAUTION

Introduction to the DME64N/24N

Differences between DME64N/24N

DME64N/DME24N Owner’s Manual

Differences between DME64N/24N

The DME64N has four I/O card slots, while the DME24N has one I/O card slot and eight channels of built-

in analog audio I/O.

A single I/O card can handle up to 16 channels of audio I/O, so the DME64N can handle a maximum of 64

audio I/O channels. The DME24N can handle up to 24 audio I/O channels.

The DME64N has approximately double the DSP processing power of the DME24N.

DME64N/24N Features

In addition to basic mixing and matrix output functions, the DME64N/24N includes a equalizers, compressors,

delay, etc. – that can be patched together via DME Designer to configure just about any audio system you need.

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 ser-

viced 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 DME64N/24N

This section explains terminology specific to the DME64N/24N.

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 DME64N/24N unit.

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

One DME64N/24N unit has a number of configurations, and a configuration has a number of preset parame-

ters.

User Deﬁned buttons

Assigning parameters to be User Defined Buttons enables you to control the device from the ICP1.

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, or computer.

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

Signal Types

DME64N/DME24N Owner’s Manual

Signal Types

DME64N/24N audio system signals can be broadly categorized as follows.

Audio

The DME64N/24N will be required to send and receive audio signals to and from other DME series units as

well as other audio equipment.

Audio signal transmission and reception will occur primarily via the [INPUT] and [OUTPUT] connectors on

the DME24N.

Device group control

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.

Introduction to the DME64N/24N

About DME Designer

DME64N/DME24N Owner’s Manual

About DME Designer

DME Designer software enables you to integrate, configure, and control the DME series system from a con-

nected 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 se-

ries unit via the USB or Ethernet connection.

Once the data is transferred to the unit, you can disconnect the DME series unit from the computer and use it

as a stand-alone processor.

Alternatively, you can control the DME series unit real-time from DME Designer as long as it is connected to

a computer.

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

that includes those units.

Refer to the “Connecting to a Computer” (page 22) for more information on connecting a computer to the

DME64N/24N. Refer to the DME Designer Installation Guide for detailed information on installing the DME

Designer application and required software drivers.

Refer to the DME Designer Owner’s Manual for setup and operation instructions.

Attaching the cable clamp.

Be sure to properly ground the device to prevent possible electrical shock.

First plug the female-connector end of the AC cord into the [AC IN] socket on the rear panel of the

DME64N/24N, then plug the male plug into an appropriate AC mains outlet. Make sure the AC power to be

used complies with the conditions marked on the top cover of the device.

Use only the AC power cord supplied with the DME64N/24N. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to

be replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a ﬁre and shock hazard!

The type of AC power cord provided with the DME64N/24N may be different depending on the country in which

it is purchased (a third prong may be provided for grounding purposes). Improper connection of the grounding

conductor can create the risk of electrical shock. Do NOT modify the plug provided with the DME64N/24N. If the

plug will not ﬁt the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁed electrician. Do not use a plug adapter which

defeats the grounding conductor.

Preparation

Remote Connection ([REMOTE] Connector)

DME64N/DME24N Owner’s Manual

Remote Connection ([REMOTE] Connector)

The [REMOTE] connector of the DME64N/24N can be connected to remotely-controllable Yamaha AD8HR

or AD824 head amplifiers (pre-amps), or RS-232C compatible controllers (such as those from AMX or Cre-

stron). The [REMOTE] connector also transmits and receives MIDI messages.

Controlling external head ampliﬁers from the DME64N/24N

You can remotely control the AD8HR or AD824 head amplifier settings from DME Designer. Up to eight

AD8HR/AD824 head amplifiers can be connected.

When connecting an AD8HR or AD824 be sure to set the “Utility” screen “MISC” page (see manual page 48)

“Remote” parameter to “HA Control (RS422)”. Also, do change to any other setting than “HA Control

(RS422)” while the unit is connected. Doing so can damage the unit.

When connecting to a combination of AD8HR and AD824 head amplifiers, be sure to place the AD8HR units

closest to the DME64N/24N in the chain, otherwise the AD8HR or AD824 unit(s) may not be properly rec-

ognized by the DME64N/24N.

Controlling the DME64N/24N from an external device

You can remotely control the DME64N/24N from a connected RS-232C or RS-422 compatible controller,

such as those from AMX or Crestron.

When connecting a remote controller via RS-232C or RS-422, be sure to set the “Utility” screen “MISC” page

(see manual page 48) “Remote” parameter to match the controller being connected. Also, do change this setting

while the unit is connected. Doing so can damage the unit.

Connecting to an External Device

NOTE

Only control signals are transmitted and received via the REMOTE connection. Audio connections must be made separately.

NOTE

Refer to “DME-N Remote Control Protocol Speciﬁcations” on the Yamaha web site for more information on

communication protocols used to control the DME64N/24N from an external device (such as those from AMX or

Crestron).

MIDI Connection

In this case connection is made to the rear-panel [MIDI] connectors. MIDI commands are sent to the

DME64N/24N from a MIDI device.

By connecting the [MIDI OUT] terminal of a digital mixer (such as the DM2000) to the [MIDI OUT] of the

DME64N/24N and making the proper settings on the mixer and the DME64N/24N, you can change scenes

by sending program change messages from the mixer.

If the [MIDI OUT] connector of the DME64N/24N is connected to the [MIDI IN] connector of an

SPX2000 or similar digital effect unit, and if the DME64N/24N and SPX2000 are set up appropriately,

DME64N/24N program change operations will case the corresponding effect to be recalled on the effect unit.

NOTE

Refer to “MIDI Page” on page 50 for MIDI setup details.

NOTE

The DME Designer can be used to set up the system so that scene recall operations and user parameter control can be carried

out from connected MIDI devices. Refer to the DME Designer manual for details.

CASCADE Connection (DME64N only)

The rear-panel [CASCADE] connector can be connected to the [CASCADE] connector on another

DME64N/24N or other compatible device via a dedicated cascade cable for bidirectional transfer of control,

audio, and word clock signals. The communication direction automatically switches to unidirectional when

connecting to a mixer such as the PM5D, or bidirectional when connecting to another DME64N/24N unit.

In the unidirectional mode the audio signal ﬂow is from the [CASCADE OUT] connector to the [CASCADE

IN] connector. In the bidirectional mode signal ﬂow also occurs in the reverse direction via the same cable. The

total number of audio channels that can be connected to a mixer or DME64N/24N unit is 32.

Word clock is continuously output from both the [CASCADE IN] and [CASCADE OUT] connectors, and is

received by the corresponding [CASCADE IN] or [CASCADE OUT] connector on the connected device.

In all cases the [CASCADE OUT] of one device must be connected to the [CASCADE IN] connector of the

other. Do not connect [CASCADE IN] to [CASCADE IN], or [CASCADE OUT] to [CASCADE OUT].

Cascade Connection Example

NOTE

Maximum length by the optional dedicated Cascade cables

Unidirectional Cascade connection: 200m (44.1/48kHz), 100m (88.2/96kHz)

Bidirectional Cascade connection: 100m (44.1/48kHz), 30m (88.2/96kHz)

NOTE

Never create a full cascade loop using only DME64N units!

NOTE

It is also possible to remotely control DME64N units from the PM5D via a CASCADE connection. In such cases assign the

nearest DME64N unit to the PM5D as the device group master.

Another method of remotely controlling a DME64N/24N from a PM5D is via CobraNet connections to MY16-C or MY16-

CII cards.

In either case the PM5D will only be able to communicate with one device group master, so all DME64N/24N units to be

controlled from the PM5D must be in the same device group, and the host address of the device group master must be set to

“2.”

WORD CLOCK Connection

Word clock signals are transferred to and from external devices via the [WORD CLOCK IN] and [WORD

CLOCK OUT] connectors. The [WORD CLOCK OUT] connector can be used to supply the DME64N/

24N word clock to external equipment. Word clock is continuously output by the DME64N/24N during

normal operation. The word clock signal from an external device can be received via the [WORD CLOCK IN]

connector.

To distribute the word clock signal from one device to multiple slave devices, either a word clock distribution

box or daisy-chained connection can be used.

Distribution Box Connection

Daisy Chain Connection

NOTE

Word clock can also be received and transmitted via a mini-YGDAI card installed in an I/O slot, or the [CASCADE IN] and

[CASCADE OUT] connectors. It is necessary to specify whether the DME64N/24N will use the internal word clock or an

external word clock for synchronization. Refer to the Utility display WCLK page described on page 49 of this manual for

details.

NOTE

A device transmitting the word clock signal that will be used by other devices for synchronization is the “word clock master,”

while devices received the word clock are “word clock slaves.”

GPI Connection

GPI (General Purpose Interface) device (GPI controller, etc.) can be connected to the rear-panel [GPI]

connectors. Using GPI a variety of control signals can be transferred between the DME64N/24N and external

controllers or other devices. The optional CP4SW, CP4SF, and CP1SF control panels are also connected via

GPI.

The DME64N provides 16 channels of GPI input and output, and the DME24N provides 8 channels. Each

channel has an IN terminal, a +V terminal, an OUT terminal and a GND terminal. The +V terminals have an

open-terminal voltage of 5 volts. The IN terminals can detect a full range of input voltages from 0V through

5V, while the OUT terminals output either signal “L” or “H” at a TTL level.

The parameters for each GPI input and output are assigned via the DME Designer application.

Euroblock connectors are used for all GPI input and output connections. Euroblock connection methods are

described in “Euroblock Connection” on page 26 in this manual.

NOTE

For more information on the CP4SW, CP4SF, and CP1SF control panels refer to “CP4SW, CP4SF, and CP1SF” in the

Appendix of this manual (page 52).

NOTE

The DME Designer can be used to set up the system so that scene recall operations and user parameter control can be carried

out from connected GPI control devices. Refer to the DME Designer manual for details.

DAW Control

1. Parameter Control Function

Lets you control DME64N/24N parameters using a

DAW Controller.

For example, if the PAN parameter is assigned to CH1

of the DAW controller, you can control the PAN

parameter by operating a knob.

There are two modes in the parameter control function,

as follows:

(1) General Parameter Operation Mode

[KNOB] and [CH FADER] controls are used to

operate internal parameters assigning them in DME

Designer.

For detailed settings, see the “DME Designer Owner’s

Manual.”

(2) Final Output Stage Parameter Operation Mode

Final output stage parameters are operated using

[MUTE] and [CH FADER] controls.

Unlike the General Parameter Control Mode, controls

and the parameters that are compatible with them, are

ﬁxed in this mode.

[Method of Operation]

[▲]: Switches to General Internal Parameter Control

Mode.

[▼]: Switches to Final Output Stage Parameter Control

Mode.

[BANK <][BANK >]: The channels targeted for

operation are shifted by the number of channels built

into the DAW controller.

[CH <][CH >]: The channels targeted for operation are

shifted one channel at a time.

[SELECT]: Switches the display method on the DAW

controller.

When turned OFF, an overall display appears. When a

channel is turned ON, the detail display appears for

that channel.

For information about the overall and detail displays,

see the next item, “Setting and Parameter Name

Display Function.”

[KNOB]: Changes assigned parameters in the General

Internal Parameter Operation Mode.

This is not used in the Final Output Stage Parameter

Operation Mode.

[MUTE]: This is not used in the General Internal

Parameter Operation Mode.

This turns muting ON or OFF for the corresponding

channel in the Final Output Stage Parameter Operation

Mode.

[CH FADER]: Changes assigned parameters in the

General Internal Parameter Operation Mode.

This adjusts volume for the corresponding channel in

the Final Output Stage Parameter Operation Mode.

NOTE

Only one parameter can be assigned to the same channel.

2. Setting and parameter name display function

Displays the settings and parameter names on the DAW

controller’s LCD screen.

There are two display methods: over-all display and

detail display.

Overall Display:

The overall display shows the assigned parameter names

and settings, organized by DAW channels.

Detail Display:

In the detail display, you select the parameter you want

to display. Only information for that parameter

appears on the DAW controller’s LCD screen.

NOTE

The number of characters that can be displayed is limited by the

size of the DRAW’s LCD screen.

Displays the 88.2/96 kHz audio signal transfer mode. The

input setting is on the left and the output setting is on the

right.

No Display (default): 44.1/48 kHz audio signal

transfer.

SP (Double Speed): Allows direct transfer at 88.2 or

96 kHz.

CH (Double Channel): 88.2 or 96 kHz audio is

transferred by using two 44.1/48 kHz channels to transfer

each audio channel of 88.2 and 96 kHz respectively. The

number of audio channels that can be handled in this

mode is half the number of channels normally handled by

the AD8HR.

4 Gain

Individually sets the gain of each head ampliﬁer channel.

Edit using the “Numeric Parameters” editing procedure

described on page 35.

5 +48V

Individually turns phantom power ON or OFF for each

head ampliﬁer channel.

Use the [E] and [F] keys to position the cursor at the

desired channel, then press the [ENTER] key to alternately

turn phantom power for that channel ON and OFF.

• Always turn the phantom power off when it is not

needed.

• Phantom power should only be used with phantom-

powered condenser microphones. Turning phantom

power ON when other types of equipment are

connected can result in damage. Balanced dynamic

microphones, however, will not be affected by phantom

power.

• To prevent speaker and possible hearing damage, be sure

to turn power ampliﬁers OFF when turning phantom

power ON or OFF. It is also a good idea to turn the

output level all the way down (page 38).

6 Phantom Master Switch (AD8HR only)

Displays overall phantom power ON or OFF.

7 High-pass Filter (HPF) (AD8HR only)

Individually turns the high-pass ﬁlter for each AD8HR

head ampliﬁer channel ON or OFF. This parameter is only

available for the AD8HR head ampliﬁer. Use the [E] and

[F] keys to select a channel, then press the [ENTER] key

to turn the HPF for that channel ON or OFF.

8 High-pass Filter Frequency (Frq) (AD8HR

only)

Individually sets the high-pass ﬁlter frequency for each

AD8HR head ampliﬁer channel. This parameter is only

available for the AD8HR head ampliﬁer.

Edit using the “Numeric Parameters” editing procedure

described on page 35.

NOTE

The gain of the DME24N internal head ampliﬁers can be

adjusted from +10 dB to –60 dB in 1-dB increments. The

internal circuitry switches at about the –45-dB point, and the

signal is automatically muted at that point to prevent noise.

The AD8HR gain can be adjusted from +10 dB to –62 dB in

1-dB steps, and the AD824 gain can be adjusted from +10 dB to

–62 dB in 6-dB steps.

scene.

This is set to OFF when the unit is started.

MODE: Thru

Directly connects the Input and Output of each slot one-

to-one for

each channel.

When input-only or output-only cards like AD or DA

cards are

inserted in the slots, you cannot perform checks in this

mode.

In the DME24N, the internal AD and internal DA are

directly

connected on each channel.

Options

The ICP1, CP4SW, CP1SF, and CP4SF controllers are available as options for remote external control of the DME series.

The ICP1 connects via Ethernet, while the CP4SW, CP1SF, and CP4SF connect via the GPI interface. For more information

on installing your Control Panel and connecting it to a DME series unit, refer to the owner’s manual that came with the

Control Panel. For more information on settings, refer to the DME Designer Owner’s Manual.

ICP1

This controller connects to a DME series unit via Ethernet. Like the DME series units, a unique IP address must

be assigned to each controller unit. Data is transmitted and received via Ethernet cables.

You can assign and control any function of all DME series units in the same device group via the controller.

Up to four parameter sets can be assigned to six function keys (F1 – F6) located above and under the LCD. You

can control up to 24 parameters by selecting a display page using the [HOME] key.

CP4SW, CP4SF, and CP1SF

These controllers connect to DME series units via the [GPI] connectors. These controllers control only the

DME series units to which they are directly connected. The controller switches enable you to turn the parameter

settings On and Off. The switch LEDs enable you to check the parameter status. The faders enable you to con-

trol the parameter values.

Transmit

When the “Parameter Change Tx Switch” is On, appropriate Parameter Change data will be transmitted when a parameter

is edited via the panel controls, as speciﬁed by the “MIDI Parameter Change table” and “MIDI Tx Channel” settings.

Refer to “Supplementary Information 1” for cases in which multiple messages are assigned to single parameter.

Refer to “Supplemental Information 2” for information on setting Parameter Data values.

Supplemental Information 1

Messages Transmitted When Multiple Messages are Assigned to the Same Parameter

The DME64N/24N 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 the DME

Designer application.

Multiple messages can be assigned to a single parameter, but the DME64N/24N 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.

Supplemental 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.

Otherwise, a malfunction may occur. Differences between DME64N/24N Introduction to the DME64N/24N Differences between DME64N/24N The DME64N has four I/O card slots, while the DME24N has one I/O card slot and eight channels of builtin analog audio I/O. A single I/O card can handle up to 16 channels of audio I/O, so the DME64N can handle a maximum of 64 audio I/O channels. The DME24N can handle up to 24 audio I/O channels. The DME64N has approximately double the DSP processing power of the DME24N. DME64N/24N Features Introduction to the DME64N/24N In addition to basic mixing and matrix output functions, the DME64N/24N includes a equalizers, compressors, delay, etc. – that can be patched together via DME Designer to configure just about any audio system you need. 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 DME64N/24N This section explains terminology specific to the DME64N/24N. 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 DME64N/24N unit. All parameter sets included with each component in a configuration are called “preset parameters.” One DME64N/24N unit has a number of configurations, and a configuration has a number of preset parameters. User Defined buttons Assigning parameters to be User Defined Buttons enables you to control the device from the ICP1. Refer to the DME Designer Owner’s Manual for details. DME64N/DME24N Owner’s Manual 9 Glossary for the DME64N/24N 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, or computer. Up to 999 scenes can be stored for each device group.

The communication direction automatically switches to unidirectional when connecting to a mixer such as the PM5D, or bidirectional when connecting to another DME64N/24N unit. In the unidirectional mode the audio signal flow is from the [CASCADE OUT] connector to the [CASCADE IN] connector. In the bidirectional mode signal flow also occurs in the reverse direction via the same cable. The total number of audio channels that can be connected to a mixer or DME64N/24N unit is 32. Word clock is continuously output from both the [CASCADE IN] and [CASCADE OUT] connectors, and is received by the corresponding [CASCADE IN] or [CASCADE OUT] connector on the connected device. In all cases the [CASCADE OUT] of one device must be connected to the [CASCADE IN] connector of the other. Do not connect [CASCADE IN] to [CASCADE IN], or [CASCADE OUT] to [CASCADE OUT]. N OT E Maximum length by the optional dedicated Cascade cables Unidirectional Cascade connection: 200m (44.1/48kHz), 100m (88.2/96kHz) Bidirectional Cascade connection: 100m (44.1/48kHz), 30m (88.2/96kHz) Cascade Connection Example Unidirectional Cascade Connection 68-pin Half-pitch D-SUB Cable IN OUT DME64N Bidirectional Cascade Connection DME64N 68-pin Half-pitch D-SUB Cable IN OUT 68-pin Half-pitch D-SUB Cable IN Connecting to an External Device PM5D 68-pin Half-pitch D-SUB Cable OUT DME64N IN OUT DME64N N OT E Never create a full cascade loop using only DME64N units! N OT E It is also possible to remotely control DME64N units from the PM5D via a CASCADE connection. In such cases assign the nearest DME64N unit to the PM5D as the device group master. Another method of remotely controlling a DME64N/24N from a PM5D is via CobraNet connections to MY16-C or MY16CII cards. In either case the PM5D will only be able to communicate with one device group master, so all DME64N/24N units to be controlled from the PM5D must be in the same device group, and the host address of the device group master must be set to “2.” 30 DME64N/DME24N Owner’s Manual WORD CLOCK Connection Word clock signals are transferred to and from external devices via the [WORD CLOCK IN] and [WORD CLOCK OUT] connectors. The [WORD CLOCK OUT] connector can be used to supply the DME64N/ 24N word clock to external equipment. Word clock is continuously output by the DME64N/24N during normal operation. The word clock signal from an external device can be received via the [WORD CLOCK IN] connector. N OT E Word clock can also be received and transmitted via a mini-YGDAI card installed in an I/O slot, or the [CASCADE IN] and [CASCADE OUT] connectors. It is necessary to specify whether the DME64N/24N will use the internal word clock or an external word clock for synchronization. Refer to the Utility display WCLK page described on page 49 of this manual for details.

Edit using the “List Parameters” editing procedure described on page 37. Utility Displays Available settings of the AD8HR are “D OUT A,” “WCLK IN,” “INT44.1K,” “INT48K,” “INT88.2K,” and “INT96K.” D OUT A: Sets the word clock signal at the digital input as the master clock of the AD8HR. WCLK IN: Sets the word clock signal at BNC connector as the master clock of the AD8HR. INT44.1K: Sets the 44.1 kHz internal word clock as the master clock of the AD8HR. INT48K: Sets the 48 kHz internal word clock as the master clock of the AD8HR. INT88.2K: Sets the 88.2 kHz internal word clock as the master clock of the AD8HR. INT96K: Sets the 96 kHz internal word clock as the master clock of the AD8HR. 4 Gain Individually sets the gain of each head amplifier channel. Edit using the “Numeric Parameters” editing procedure described on page 35. NOTE The gain of the DME24N internal head amplifiers can be adjusted from +10 dB to –60 dB in 1-dB increments. The internal circuitry switches at about the –45-dB point, and the signal is automatically muted at that point to prevent noise. The AD8HR gain can be adjusted from +10 dB to –62 dB in 1-dB steps, and the AD824 gain can be adjusted from +10 dB to –62 dB in 6-dB steps. 5 +48V Individually turns phantom power ON or OFF for each head amplifier channel. Use the [E] and [F] keys to position the cursor at the desired channel, then press the [ENTER] key to alternately turn phantom power for that channel ON and OFF. Available settings of the AD824 are “SLOT,” “BNC,” “INT44.1K,” and “INT48K.” SLOT A: Sets the word clock signal input via I/O cards installed in the I/O slots as the master clock of the AD824. BNC: Sets the word clock signal at the BNC connector as the master clock of the AD824. INT44.1K: Sets the 44.1 kHz internal word clock as the master clock of the AD824. INT48K: Sets the 48 kHz internal word clock as the master clock of the AD824. 3 Format (AD8HR only) Displays the 88.2/96 kHz audio signal transfer mode. The input setting is on the left and the output setting is on the right. No Display (default): 44.1/48 kHz audio signal transfer. SP (Double Speed): Allows direct transfer at 88.2 or 96 kHz. CH (Double Channel): 88.2 or 96 kHz audio is transferred by using two 44.1/48 kHz channels to transfer each audio channel of 88.2 and 96 kHz respectively. The number of audio channels that can be handled in this mode is half the number of channels normally handled by the AD8HR. CAUTION • Always turn the phantom power off when it is not needed. • Phantom power should only be used with phantompowered condenser microphones. Turning phantom power ON when other types of equipment are connected can result in damage. Balanced dynamic microphones, however, will not be affected by phantom power. • To prevent speaker and possible hearing damage, be sure to turn power amplifiers OFF when turning phantom power ON or OFF. It is also a good idea to turn the output level all the way down (page 38). 6 Phantom Master Switch (AD8HR only) Displays overall phantom power ON or OFF. 7 High-pass Filter (HPF) (AD8HR only) Individually turns the high-pass filter for each AD8HR head amplifier channel ON or OFF.
