Getting Started with DME Designer
In this manual the abbreviation “DME” refers to the DME64N/DME24N/DME8i-C/DME8o-C/DME4io-C/
DME8i-ES/DME8o-ES/DME4io-ES. The abbreviation “DME Satellite” refers to the DME8i-C/DME8o-C/
DME4io-C/DME8i-ES/DME8o-ES/DME4io-ES.
Your DME, SP2060, ICP1 and the DME Designer software, let you build a custom audio system
installation that can support an incredible variety of conditions. You can build an entire system from
input to output with the DME Designer software, then send the system data to the DME and SP2060
which become independent processors.
An amazing variety of applications are possible, including audio installations, sub-mixing, speaker
system control, matrix/routing, and multi-effect processing.

The DME Audio System Network
In an audio system including one or more DME units and/or SP2060 units, the “control space” is
logically organized using the concepts of “Area”, “Zone”, and “Device Group”. The space covered by
the entire system is the “Area”, while independent sonic spaces within that Area are called “Zone”.
A group of DME or SP2060 units assigned to the same function are considered a “Device Group”.
An Area is comprised of one or more Zones, and each Zone can include up to 32 Device Groups.
A single Device Group can include as many as 16 devices. Each Device Group has one “Group
Master”.
NOTE
Meter response may deteriorate as the number of meters displayed in a single device group in DME Designer increases. In
such cases meter response can be improved by dividing the device group.
See “Zone Window” (page 298) for details on deleting devices from a device group.
NOTE
DME and SP2060 units cannot be combined in the same Device Group.
NOTE
All devices in a Device Group must be on the same subnet.
NOTE
A single device group cannot be controlled from multiple computers (multiple instances of DME Designer).

The DME Designer Software Application
The DME Designer software application provides a convenient, central interface for the creation and
control of DME-based audio systems.
By connecting the computer on which the DME Designer application is running to a Group Master it
becomes possible to control multiple devices simultaneously.
With DME Designer, DME audio systems can be designed and configured via a comprehensive block-
diagram interface on the computer screen.
The main concepts used in the creation of DME audio systems are “Components”, “Configurations”,
“Preset Parameters”, and “Scenes”.
Components
Any independent signal-processing block, such as an equalizer, compressor, input/output module, or
external device control object is a “Component”.
Configurations
A “Configuration” is group of components, including their placement and interconnections.
Preset Parameters
The set of parameters for all components in a Configuration is know as the Configuration’s “Preset
Parameters”.
DME Designer Owner’s Manual
5
Scenes
A Configuration and its Preset Parameters are a “Scene”.
DME settings as well as Configuration and Preset Parameter settings are sent from the DME Designer
application running on the computer to the Device Master via USB or Ethernet, allowing each device
to function as a separate processor, independently from the computer. It is also possible to keep the
DME Designer application on line and control the devices in real time.
It is possible to use the DME Designer to create Configurations that include multiple devices when the
appropriate devices are connected.
Although it is possible to have multiple Zones in an Area, multiple Device Groups in a Zone, and
multiple Scenes and Configurations in a Device Group, only one Area, Zone, Device Group and
Configuration can be active and editable via the DME Designer at any one time. The active elements
are known as the Current Zone, Current Device Group, Current Scene, and Current Configuration.

Changes from V1.1 to V1.2
Main Panel Window
The synchronization algorithm has been refined for faster synchronization.
Synchronization now can be executed from DME to DME Designer without any break in the
sound.
In the following cases, synchronization can be executed from DME Designer to DME without any
break in the sound:
The second or later synchronization after starting DME Designer* and when differences in data
between the DME and DME Designer are limited to parameters within components, AD824/
AD8HR/DME24N AD/DA setting data, or Mini-YGDAI card setting parameters.
* If the file was saved when DME Designer was closed, there will be no break in sound even in the first
synchronization after saving.
Compile speed has been increased.
Up to three times faster when AutoDelayCompensation is turned On.
Up to two times faster when AutoDelayCompensation is turned Off.
Synchronization is possible when no Mini-YGDAI card or a different Mini-YGDAI card is installed
in the DME unit (a confirmation message will appear).
An option to automatically close the dialog after synchronization has been added. (page 99)
