Connecting to an External Device

Remote Connection ([REMOTE] Connector)

The [REMOTE] connector of the DME Satellite 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 Crestron).
The [REMOTE] connector also transmits and receives MIDI messages.

Controlling external head amplifiers from the DME Satellite

You can remotely control the AD8HR or AD824 head amplifier settings from DME Designer. Up to eight
AD8HR/AD824 head amplifiers can be connected.
Be sure to set the dip switch on the rear panel of the DME Satellite to "RS-422" (page 20) when connecting to
AD8HR or AD824 remote head amplifiers. Do not change the dip switch setting to any position other than to
"RS-422" while the devices are connected to prevent possible damage to the device(s).
When connecting to a combination of AD8HR and AD824 head amplifiers, be sure to place the AD8HR units
closest to the DME Satellite in the chain, otherwise the AD8HR or AD824 unit(s) may not be properly recognized
by the DME Satellite.

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

Controlling the DME Satellite from an external device

You can remotely control the DME Satellite from a connected RS-232C or RS-422 compatible controller, such
as those from AMX or Crestron.
Be sure to set the dip switch on the rear panel of the DME Satellite correctly (page 20) in accordance with a con-
nected RS-232C or RS-422 compatible remote controller. Do not change the dip switch setting to any other po-
sition while the devices are connected to prevent possible damage to the device(s).
