    The DME64N has four I/O card slots, while the DME24N has one I/O card slot and eight channels of built- in analog audio I/O. A single I/O card can handle up to 16 channels of audio I/O, so the DME64N can handle a maximum of 64 audio I/O channels. The DME24N can handle up to 24 audio I/O channels.

  • Page 9: Dme64N/24N Audio System Overview

    Multi-band output processing is just one of the many output processing functions the DME64N/24N could be applied to. A single DME64N can handle up to 64 channels, while a DME24N can handle up to 24 channels, for extraordinary capacity and versatility.

    The entire area serviced by the system is the “area,” while audio processing divisions within the area are “zones.” A single computer can be used to control the entire area as well as individual zones in a DME64N/24N audio system.

  • Page 14: Dme64N/24N Audio System Control

    A combination of all configuration and preset parameter combinations is called a “scene.” A scene determines the audio effect(s) in the zone. Scenes can be recalled from the panels of the DME64N/24N and ICP1, other controllers connected via MIDI or GPI, or computer control. Up to 999 scenes can be stored for each zone.
