Connecting to an External Device
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).
