Signal Types
DME Satellite audio system signals can be broadly categorized as follows.
Audio
Analog and digital signals are input and output between the DME Satellite, other DME series units, and other
audio devices. Analog signals are input and output via the [INPUT]/[OUTPUT] jacks. Digital signals are input
and output via the EtherSound jacks.
audio devices. Analog signals are input and output via the [INPUT]/[OUTPUT] jacks. Digital signals are input
and output via the EtherSound jacks.
Control signals within a device group
Device group control signals control all DME series devices in the group.
There are two types of device group control signals, as follows:

You can use the DME Designer application to control the entire device group, such as sending components to the
devices and setting the parameters as required.
devices and setting the parameters as required.
Control signals between devices outside the device group
These signals provide communication and control between individual devices.
Included in this category are MIDI messages transferred between [USB] connectors, GPI signals transferred be-
tween [GPI] connectors, and remote head amp control signals handled via the [REMOTE] connector.
