The Yamaha DME7 Signal Processor is a cutting-edge solution crafted for professional audio environments, delivering exceptional sound quality and flexibility. With support for up to 256 input/output channels at 96-kHz processing, this digital signal processor (DSP) ensures pristine audio fidelity, making it perfect for theaters, concert halls, and large-scale venues. The base unit features 64 channels of Dante I/O and a 64x64 matrix mixer, expandable in increments of 64 channels via the optional DEK-DME7-DX64 expansion license—up to a maximum of 256x256 channels. This scalability suits both small setups and complex, large-scale audio systems.
Designed with an open architecture, the DME7 integrates seamlessly with Yamaha’s ProVisionaire software suite, including ProVisionaire Design for DSP configuration, ProVisionaire Control/Touch for operation via tablets or devices, and ProVisionaire Cloud for license management (availability pending in the US). It boasts a low latency of 2.7 ms, ensuring real-time audio performance critical for live sound applications. A standout feature is the Type-C USB port, offering an 8-channel audio interface at 96-kHz, ideal for connecting to computers or digital audio workstations (DAWs) for recording or live production.
The DME7 is equipped with a robust feature set, including EQ, dynamics, delay, matrix mixers, Dugan Automixer, and REV-X reverb, catering to diverse audio needs. Its dual redundant power supplies guarantee reliability, while additional connectivity options like Dante etherCON ports, SD card slot, and control via GPI, MIDI, and OSC protocols enhance its versatility. The unit’s sleek design, with a black anodized aluminum front panel and a compact 3U rack size (480 x 132 x 363 mm), complements its durability and professional appeal. Weighing 9.5 kg, it includes efficient cooling with a constant-speed fan (NC20 noise level).
While some features, such as the DEK-DME7-DX64 expansion and ProVisionaire Cloud, are slated for future US availability, the DME7 remains a top-tier choice for audio professionals seeking scalability, control, and superior sound. Whether for live music, theater soundscapes, or commercial audio distribution, the Yamaha DME7 sets a new standard in digital signal processing.
