4 [MIDI IN] [MIDI OUT] [MIDI THRU]
Connectors
These are standard MIDI connectors that handle reception
and transmission of MIDI data: [MIDI IN] receives MIDI
data, [MIDI OUT] transmits MIDI data, and [MIDI
THRU] re-transmits MIDI data received at the [MIDI
IN] connector. See “MIDI Connection” on page 29 for
connection details.
5 [WORD CLOCK IN] [WORD CLOCK OUT]
Connectors
These BNC connector receive and transmit word clock
from and to external equipment. See “Word Clock
Connection” on page 31 for connection details. Word
clock settings are available via the device’s Utility display
WCLK page (see page 49 of this document).
6 [NETWORK] Connector
This is a 100Base-TX/10Base-T Ethernet connector for
connection to a computer or other DME64N/24N units.
Normally this connector will be connected to a network
hub via an Ethernet “straight” cable. When two
DME64N/24N units are to be directly connected a “cross”
cable should be used.
7 [REMOTE] Connector
This 9-pin D-SUB connector allows connection to
Yamaha AD824 or AD8HR remote head amplifiers or
other RS-232C compatible controllers. Refer to page 28
for connection details.
8
[IN] [OUT] Connectors (DME24N only)
These are balanced Euroblock connectors for analog audio
input and output. The analog signal from microphones or
line sources such as CD players can be input via the IN
connectors, while the OUT connectors can deliver analog
output to powered speakers or recording equipment. 48V
phantom power can be supplied to the IN connectors
(page 52). Refer to page 26 for [IN] and [OUT]
connection details.
9 I/O Slots
Optional Yamaha or third-party mini-YGDAI cards can be
plugged in here for system expansion. The DME64N has
four I/O slots, while the DME24N has one.
One expansion card can be plugged into each slot. Refer to
“I/O Card Installation” on page 20 for installation details.
) [CASCADE IN] [CASCADE OUT]
Connectors (DME64N only)
This 68-pin D-SUB connector can be connected to the
CASCADE connector of other devices via a dedicated
cascade cable. The CASCADE connector transmits and
receives control, audio, and word clock signals. Refer to
“Cascade Connection” on page 30 for connection details.
NOTE
Use a CAT5 STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable for this
connection to prevent electromagnetic interference.
NOTE
The [IN] and [OUT] connectors each have 24 terminal pins.
Each of the eight inputs and outputs uses three pins – hot, cold,
and ground. Use the supplied 3-pin Euroblock plugs to connect
to the appropriate inputs and outputs.
