ME-1 personal mixer – A compact personal mixer
able to work with up to 40 channels. Features built-in
headphones and monitor output. Intuitive and easy to
operate, its 16 select keys can be configured to
provide as much or as little control as the musician
needs.
The 40 ME channels are mapped in order from CH1-6,
ST1-3, LR, FX1-3 returns and Mix1-10 to dSNAKE.
These can be chosen and grouped to ME-1 keys using
the setup function available on the ME-1 mixer.
Multiple ME-1 mixers can be connected in series
(daisy chained) by linking the output of one to the
input of the next. Alternatively, they can be connected
in parallel and powered over their Cat5 cables using a
standard PoE Ethernet switch or the Allen & Heath
ME-U hub. The ME connects directly to a dSNAKE
compatible port using a Cat5 cable.
