DME32—Owner’s Manual
Important Information
Read the Following Before Using the DME32
Warnings
Do not subject the DME32 to extreme temperatures, humidity, direct sunlight, or dust,
which could be a potential fire or electrical shock hazard.
Do not allow water to enter the DME32 or allow it to become wet. Fire or electrical
shock may result.
Do not place a container with liquid or small metal objects on top of this unit. Liquid
or metal objects inside this unit are a fire and electrical shock hazard.
Connect the power cord only to an AC outlet of the type stated in this Owner’s Manual
or as marked on the DME32. Failure to do so is a re and electrical shock hazard.
Hold the power-cord plug when disconnecting from an AC outlet. Never pull the cord.
A power cord damaged through pulling is a potential re and electrical shock hazard.
Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Doing so is a potential electrical shock
hazard.
Do not place heavy objects, including the DME32, on top of the power cord. A dam-
aged power cord is a re and electrical shock hazard. In particular, be careful not to
place heavy objects on a power cord covered by a carpet.
Do not scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the power cord. A damaged power cord is a
re and electrical shock hazard.
If the power cord is damaged (e.g., cut or a bare wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a
replacement. Using the DME32 with a damaged power cord is a re and electrical shock
hazard.
Do not plug several pieces of equipment into the same AC outlet. This may overload
the AC outlet, and could be a re or electrical shock hazard. It may also affect the per-
formance of some equipment.
If you notice any abnormality, such as smoke, odor, or noise, or if a foreign object or
liquid gets inside the DME32, turn it off immediately. Remove the power cord from the
AC outlet and consult your dealer for repair. Using the DME32 in this condition is a re
and electrical shock hazard.
Do not place small objects on top of the DME32. Metal objects falling inside the
DME32 is a re and electrical shock hazard.
If a foreign object or water gets inside the DME32, turn it off immediately. Remove the
power cord from the AC outlet and consult your dealer for repair. Using the DME32 in
this condition is a potential re and electrical shock hazard.
Should the DME32 be dropped or the cabinet be damaged, turn off the power, remove
the power plug from the AC outlet, and contact your dealer. If you continue using the
DME32 without heeding this instruction, re or electrical shock may result.
Do not remove the DME32s cover. You could receive an electrical shock. If you think
internal inspection, maintenance, or repair is necessary, contact your dealer.
Do not attempt to modify the DME32. This is a potential re and electrical shock hazard.
Do not block the DME32 ventilation slots. Blocking the ventilation slots is a potential
re hazard.
ii
DME32Owners Manual
Cautions
Allow enough free space around the DME32 for normal ventilation. This should be
10 cm at the sides, 15 cm behind, and 30 cm above. These distances should also be
adopted when rack-mounting the DME32. For normal ventilation during use, remove
the rear of the rack or open a ventilation hole. If the airow is not adequate, the DME32
will heat up inside and may cause a re.
Use the DME32 in a environment with a free-air temperature of between 10˚C and
35˚C (50˚F and 95˚F).
Turn off all audio equipment when connecting to the DME32, and use only the cables
specied in the relevant owners manuals.
If you plan not to use the DME32 for a long period of time, remove the power cord from
the AC outlet. Leaving the DME32 connected is a potential re hazard.
Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a chemical cloth to clean the
DME32. Use only a soft, dry cloth.
If the DME32 is stored in a cold place (e.g., overnight in a car), and then moved to a
warmer environment, or the temperature rises sharply, condensation may form inside
the DME32, which may affect performance. In such cases, the DME32 should be
allowed to acclimatize for about one hour before use.
When the wordclock source is changed on the wordclock master device (e.g., AD824 or
DME32), noise may occur from the DME32s analog outputs, especially if an MY8-AT
I/O card is installed, so turn down your power amps, or turn off the DME32 before-
hand, otherwise any connected speakers may be damaged.
If the DME32 displays the message Warning Low Battery when its turned on, contact
your Yamaha dealer as soon as possible and ask them to replace the internal backup bat-
tery. Although the DME32 will continue to work in this condition, any conguration
data will be lost. Its recommended that you save any conguration data using DME
Manager or a PC Card before replacing the battery.
Interference
The DME32 uses high-frequency digital circuits that may cause interference on radio
and television equipment located nearby. If interference is a problem, relocate the
affected equipment.
DME32 Exclusion of Certain Responsibility
Manufacturer, importer, or dealer shall not be liable for any incidental damages includ-
ing personal injury or any other damages caused by improper use or operation of the
DME32.

DME32Owners Manual
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Yamaha DME32 Digital Mixing Engine.
The DME32 Digital Mixing Engine and DME Manager software allow sound-system
installers to custom build systems to meet the specic requirements of almost any
installation. Entire systems from input through to output can be designed using DME
Manager and then transferred to the DME32, which can then be used as a standalone
processor. Typical applications include installed sound systems, submixing, loud-
speaker system controllers, matrix/routing, and multi-effects processing.
The DME32 in a Nutshell
DME32 audio systems, or congurations as theyre known in DME32 terminology, are
built in an intuitive block diagram style using Yamahas dedicated DME Manager
software. Building congurations consists of adding the necessary components, wiring
them together, compiling, and then transferring that information to the DME32, using
either RS232/RS422, USB (Universal Serial Bus), or PC Cards.
Once programmed, the DME32 operates as a standalone processor and the PC can be
disconnected, although it can be connected permanently in applications where
real-time control from DME Manager is desirable. Even then, if the PC connection is
lost for some reason, the DME32 just keeps on going.
Components form the building blocks in congurations. Some components are com-
plete audio processors, such as mixers, compressors, effects, and crossovers, while oth-
ers are individual parts, such as faders, switches, pan controls, and meters. System
designers can create their own custom components using the User modules.
DME Manager operates in one of three modes: Edit, Cable, or Run. Edit mode is used
mainly to build and edit congurations, although it can also be used to edit and preview
scenes ofine. Cable mode is for wiring components together. Run mode is used to con-
trol the DME32 system in real time, which includes editing component parameters,
storing and recalling scenes, and recalling congurations. In Run mode, actions per-
formed on DME Manager are reected on the DME32 and vice versa.
The DME32 can store two congurations: A and B. Additional congurations can be
stored on PC Cards. Each conguration can store up to 99 scenes, or snapshots of every
component parameter setting in the conguration. Congurations and scenes can be
recalled from the DME32 front panel, DME Manager, MIDI, or the GPI interface. Con-
gurations and scenes can be titled from the PC keyboard for easy identication.
When operating as a standalone processor, various DME32 functions can controlled
from the front panel, including editing component parameters, storing and recalling

scenes, and recalling congurations. Direct access to a specic parameter is possible by
assigning it to the [USER DEFINE] button. The large, two-digit scene number display
indicates the current scene, while the 48-character LCD displays conguration and
scene titles, component and parameter names, parameter values, and so on. Unautho-
rized operation can be prevented by using the password protection.
The DME32 offers 32 inputs and 32 outputs via four mini YGDAI card slots. Optional
mini YGDAI (Yamaha General Digital Audio Interface) cards offer a variety of analog
and digital I/O congurations, with support for all the popular digital audio intercon-
nect formats, including AES/EBU, ADAT, and Tascam TDIF-1. Inputs and outputs can
be expanded in multiples of 32 by cascading additional DME32s. Up to four DME32s
can be cascaded, providing a maximum of 128 inputs and 128 outputs. Cascade com-
ponents offer bus-like signal distribution in multiple-unit systems and can also be used
for DSP power sharing between DME32s.
Superb sonic performance is achieved using 32-bit internal signal processing and a
48 kHz internal sampling rate. External sampling rates of between 39.69 kHz to
50.88 kHz are supported and can be set individually for each conguration.
Remote interaction between DME32 functions and custom-made controllers and
other equipment is possible using MIDI and the GPI interface, which offers 16 assign-
able inputs and 16 assignable outputs. Scenes and congurations can be recalled using
MIDI Program Change messages or the GPI interface. Component parameters can be
controlled by using MIDI Control Change messages, System Exclusive messages, or
custom-made controllers attached to the GPI interface.

See Running the System on page 65.
Connecting to a PC
The DME32 can be connected to a PC by using standard RS232/RS422 serial connections or
USB (Universal Serial Bus). When the DME32 receives a command via the serial port, it
transmits a response to only the serial port. Likewise, when it receives a command via the
USB port, it transmits a response to only the USB port.
Serial Port
The PC CONTROL port features a switch for selecting
RS232 or RS422. These two serial port standards are virtu-
ally the same, the main difference being that RS422 is bal-
anced and therefore supports longer cable lengths. RS232
supports cable lengths of up to 15 meters, while RS422 sup-
ports lengths of up to 1 kilometer. Select the one that
matches your PCs serial port.

DME32Owners Manual
You can specify which COM port on your PC DME Manager uses, although youll need to
install DME Manager in order to do this. See Installing DME Manager on page 12 for more
information. Using a text editor, open the setup.ini le in the DME folder. Change the COM
parameter to match the number of the COM port you want to use. To use COM port 2, for
example, the setting should be COM2 (without quotation marks).
USB
The front panel USB port is a convenient way to connect a PC to the DME32 and
is ideal for systems where the DME32 rear panel is not easily accessible.
Connecting the Power Cord
Connect the socket-end of the supplied power cord to the AC IN socket on
the rear panel of the DME32. Connect the plug-end to a suitable AC wall out-
let, one that conforms to the power supply requirements stated on the
DME32 rear panel.
Turning On & Off the DME32
To prevent loud clicks and thumps in your speakers, turn on your audio
equipment in the following order (reverse this order when turning off
your equipment)sound sources, mixer or recorder (e.g., 02R, DME32,
D24, etc.), power ampliers.
1 To turn on the DME32, press the [POWER] switch.
The following message appears for a few moments.
The number and title of the current conguration and scene appear on the display. The rst
parameter of the rst component is selected, unless the [USER DEFINE] button has been
assigned, in which case, the parameter assigned to that button is selected and the USER
DEFINE indicator lights up.
When the DME32 is turned on for the rst time, or when its initialized, conguration mem-
ory A contains a simple conguration titled Mtrx16. This conguration is stored inside the
DME32 and can be overwritten by transferring another conguration from DME Manager.
2 To turn off the DME32, press the [POWER] switch.
Important: You need to install the USB driver in order to use the USB port. See page 13.
