Page 3: Important Information
• 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.
Page 4 • Turn off all audio equipment when connecting to the DME32, and use only the cables speciﬁed in the relevant owner’s 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 ﬁre hazard.

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.

Chapter 2—Getting Started First Steps Here’s how to get up and running with the DME32 system with the minimum of fuss. Familiarize yourself with the DME32. See “Touring the DME32” on page 15. Install the required mini YGDAI I/O cards.
Page 19: Connecting The Power Cord
Important: You need to install the USB driver in order to use the USB port. See page 13. 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.
Page 20: Installing Dme Manager
Turn on your PC and, if it’s not running already, start Windows. The PC does not need to be connected to the DME32 in order to install DME Manager. Insert the DME32 CD-ROM disc into your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
Page 21: Quitting Dme Manager
DME Manager starts up in Edit mode. If no DME32s are detected, the message “DME32 not found!” appears. In this case you can click OK to continue using DME Manager ofﬂine in Edit mode.

Page 214: Selecting The Wordclock Source
The DME32 checks the selected source to see if a usable wordclock signal is available. If such a signal exists, the DME32 locks to it and the LOCK indicator lights up. The 48kHz indicator lights up if the selected wordclock is at 48 kHz; the 44.1kHz indicator lights up if it’s at 44.1 kHz.
Page 215: Checking The I/O Slots
When the number of DME32s in a multiple-unit system is changed (e.g., DME32s are added or removed), all DME32s must be initialized. Checking the Firmware Version & Battery You can check the date and version number of the DME32 ﬁrmware and battery voltage as follows. Turn off the DME32.

They can also be conﬁgured for use with Emergency mode, in which the DME32 mutes all outputs. The DME32 can be conﬁgured to switch a GPI output when a GPI input is triggered, or to transmit a Program Change message when a scene or conﬁgu- ration is recalled via a GPI input, or to transmit a Control Change message when a com- ponent parameter is adjusted via a GPI input.
Page 218 Euro-block plug Remote switch box The next example shows how the DME32 can remotely control other equipment via the GPI interface. Scenes 1 through 4 are assigned to GPI outputs 1 through 4. When a scene is recalled, the corresponding GPI output is switched from high or low. A more advanced setup could be used to switch a GPI output when a component parameter is turned on or off, or a parameter is adjusted above or below a speciﬁed threshold.

Page 233: Wordclocks & The Dme32
The DME32 can be used as the 48 kHz wordclock master for an entire system, or slaved to an external wordclock source of between 39.69 kHz and 50.88 kHz. It can receive an external wordclock signal via its BNC WORDCLOCK IN or the input of a digital I/O card.
Page 234: Wordclock Connections
Note: When the wordclock source is changed on the wordclock master device (e.g., AD824 or DME32), noise may occur from the DME32’s analog outputs, especially if an MY8-AT I/O card is installed, so turn down your power amps, or turn off the DME32 beforehand, otherwise any connected speakers may be damaged.
Page 235 When a conﬁguration is transferred to the DME32, the DME32 checks the speciﬁed source to see if a usable wordclock signal is available. If such a signal exists, the DME32 locks to it and the LOCK indicator lights up. The 48kHz indicator lights up if the selected wordclock is at 48 kHz;...
Page 236: Wordclock Hookup Examples
The following example shows how the wordclock can be conﬁgured when using two DME32s and MY4-AD and MY4-DA I/O cards for analog inputs and outputs. DME32 #1 is the wordclock master and its wordclock source is set to Internal. DME32 #2 auto- matically receives its wordclock from the cascade connection.
Page 237 The next example shows how the wordclock can be conﬁgured when using four DME32s and AD824 AD Converters and DA824 DA Converters for analog inputs and outputs. DME32 #1 is the wordclock master and its wordclock source is set to Internal. The other DME32s automatically receive their wordclocks via the cascade connections.
Page 238: Wordclock Hookup Examples
The wordclock source on DME32 #1 is set to Wordclock In. DME32 #2 automat- ically receives its wordclock from the cascade connection. The wordclock termination switch on DME32 #1 is set to ON. The DA824s receive their wordclocks via their slot inputs, while the AD824s receive theirs via BNC connections from DME32 #1.
Page 239: Terminating Bnc Wordclock Distribution
The DME32’s WORD CLOCK 75 ON/OFF switch allows the DME32 to be connected in a variety of ways. The following examples show three ways in which wordclock signals can be distributed and how ter- mination should be applied in each case.

Multiple-unit Hookup Examples ........238 DME32—Owner’s Manual...
Page 241: About Multiple Dme32S
• The GPI interfaces on all cascaded DME32s can be used, providing a maximum of 64 GPI inputs and 64 GPI outputs with four DME32s. • Wordclock settings only need to be made on DME32 #1. The other DME32s automat- ically receive their wordclocks via the cascade connections.
Page 242: Cascade Connections
CASCADE OUT connector is automatically assigned the last MIDI connections need only be made to DME32 #1. When DME32 #1 receives a Pro- gram Change message that has been assigned to Scene 10, for example, Scene 10 is recalled on all DME32s via the cascade connections.
Page 243: Multiple-Unit Hookup Examples
The following example shows how two DME32s can be cascaded to achieve 16 analog inputs and 16 analog outputs by using MY4-AD and MY4-DA I/O cards. DME32 #1 is automatically assigned ID #1 because nothing is connected to its CASCADE IN port, while DME32 #2 is automatically assigned ID 2 because nothing is connected to its CASCADE OUT port.
Page 244: Multiple-Unit Hookup Examples
The following example shows how four DME32s can be cascaded to achieve 128 inputs and 128 outputs. DME32 #1 is automatically assigned ID #1 because nothing is con- nected to its CASCADE IN port, while DME32 #4 is automatically assigned ID 4 because nothing is connected to its CASCADE OUT port.

Page 256: I/O Options & The Dme32
Chapter 16—I/O Options I/O Options & the DME32 For analog and digital audio inputs and outputs, the DME32 uses optional mini YGDAI (Yamaha General Digital Audio Interface) I/O cards, which offer several analog I/O options and digital I/O interfaces in all the popular digital audio interconnect formats, including AES/EBU, ADAT, and Tascam TDIF-1.
Page 257: I/O Card Specifications
As these speciﬁcations show, analog I/O cards offer either inputs or outputs, while dig- ital I/O cards offer both inputs and outputs. Choosing I/O Cards The DME32 features four I/O slots, for a total of 32 inputs and 32 outputs, which cor- respond to the slots as follows: DME32 Slot The type of cards you choose affects the number of channels that can be accessed.
Page 258 Chapter 16—I/O Options The following table shows which cards to use when connecting the DME32 to other Yamaha digital audio products. Each product can be connected using the preferred interface format—AES/EBU, ADAT, or Tascam TDIF-1. Total slot I/O Product Outs...

AES/EBU, ADAT, and Tascam TDIF-1. Analog outputs feature electronically balanced XLRs and 1/4" phone jacks. See your Yamaha dealer for more information on the AD824 and DA824. Hookup examples using the AD824 and DA824 are provided on the following pages.
Page 261: Hookup Examples
The following two examples show how the AD824 AD Converter can easily be con- nected to the DME32 using AES/EBU and ADAT interfaces. The only drawback with this type of connection is that only the eight inputs of each slot can be accessed, not the eight outputs.
