The DME24N digital mixing engines employ Yamaha's original DSP6 and DSP7 signal-processing LSIs for extraordinary audio processing power and quality. The DME24N has about half that processing capability while offering built-in analog I/O for simple, more compact systems. In either case you get a remarkable amount of processing capability that allows complex systems to be built around a single DME unit and fine tuned for optimum performance in concert halls, multi-purpose halls, event spaces, institutions, and a wide range of other applications. Plenty of DSP power also means that advanced configurations that previously required multiple hardware units can now run comfortably on just one DME24N. All of this translates into significant time, energy and cost savings for the design, installation and operation of DME-based systems. The DME24N has one expansion slot. Each slot supports up to 8 analog inputs or outputs when fitted with precision A/D or D/A cards or up to 16 channels of digital I/O in AES/EBU, ADAT or TASCAM format. The DME24N has a single slot plus 8 channels of built-in analog I/O for a total of 24 channels. The DME24N provides 8 built-in analog inputs and outputs via Euroblock terminals on the rear panel. The analog inputs and outputs feature precision 24-bit, 96kHz A/D and D/A converters that deliver top class audio performance.
