About the Yamaha DME Satellite Processors
The Yamaha DME Satellite Processors, comprising the DME8i, DME8o and DME4io, are terminal I/O processors that form part of Yamaha's DME series of digital mixing engines. Systems are designed and configured via software running on a computer, using Yamaha's DME Designer application for flexible construction and centralised control. C series models carry a CobraNet network interface for advanced networking in complex installations, while ES series models feature EtherSound connectivity suited to temporary sound reinforcement deployments. Both types allow up to 64 audio channels to be transferred over a single Cat-5 Ethernet cable, reducing cabling costs and supporting distributed placement of analog I/O and signal processing. The units are well suited to expanding DME64N or DME24N based systems, and are also capable as stand-alone processors.
Yamaha DME Satellite Processors — buyer FAQs
What are the Yamaha DME Satellite Processors and what do they do?
The Yamaha DME Satellite Processors are terminal I/O processors that provide analog inputs, outputs, or both within a DME network. The range covers three variants: the DME8i (input), DME8o (output) and DME4io (input and output combined). They allow distributed placement of analog I/O and signal processing across a system, reducing cabling costs while supporting complex audio installations and temporary sound reinforcement setups.
Where do the DME Satellite Processors sit in Yamaha's pro audio range?
Yamaha's Pro Audio division produces professional mixing consoles, signal processors and related equipment for live sound and installation. The DME Satellite units sit within the DME series of digital mixing engines and are specifically designed to expand or complement DME64N or DME24N based systems, though they also function as stand-alone processors in smaller configurations.
What is the difference between the C series and ES series DME Satellite models?
C series models (DME8i-C, DME8o-C and DME4io-C) carry a CobraNet network interface suited to complex fixed installations, while ES series models (DME8i-ES, DME8o-ES and DME4io-ES) use EtherSound connectivity, which is designed for easy setup in temporary sound reinforcement systems. Both types transfer up to 64 audio channels over a single Cat-5 Ethernet cable.
How are used Yamaha DME Satellite Processors configured and controlled?
The units are designed and configured via DME Designer software running on a computer, which handles system construction and centralised control. This software-based approach allows complex audio routing and processing to be set up and adjusted without hardware changes, making the units well suited to both large distributed I/O systems and smaller standalone applications.
What should I check when buying a second-hand Yamaha DME Satellite Processor?
Confirm which variant you need (DME8i, DME8o or DME4io) and which network suffix (C for CobraNet or ES for EtherSound) matches your existing infrastructure. Check that the correct power supply and any control accessories are included.
