Multiple DME64N: Large Stadium Or Multi-purpose Hall System
In this system live audio from microphones is mixed with background music and other sources in the central
control room using a Yamaha DM1000 digital mixing console. A DM1000 equipped with an MY16-AE
digital I/O card and an NHB32-C network hub bridge can feed the control room output to the system’s
DME64N units over distances of up to 2 kilometers via multimode optical fiber cables. The control room also
houses the system-control computer running the DME Designer application software, and an ICP1 Intelligent
Control Panel for general DME unit control. The audio and control signals from the control room are
distributed to four amp rooms (zones) via the CobraNet Ethernet cable. One or more DME64N units in each
amp room handles signal routing and output processing (equalization, limiting, crossover) and the resultant
digital output is converted to analog audio and fed to the power amplifiers via ACU16-C Amplifier Control
Units. Scene switching to accommodate a variety of spectator/audience seating areas for different types of
events can be handled from both the control-room PC and ICP1 control panel.
