Description
The Allen & Heath ME-500 is a standalone digital personal mixer that receives up to 16 mono or stereo sources over a single Cat5 cable and offers a flexible and easy-to-operate solution for individual musicians, performers, and presenters who wish to control their own monitor sound whether on stage, in houses of worship, rehearsal rooms, studios, conferences, or live events. ME is a 48 kHz system compatible with most Allen & Heath mixers including the dLive, GLD, and Qu systems, as well as Aviom A-Net 16. Additionally, the unit will work with other devices with MADI, Dante, and EtherSound connectors via the optional ME-U hub. Mute or solo individual channels, adjust the tone using the on-board 2-band EQ, and set the limiter to prevent loud peaks. Once a mix has been created, simply save the set for recall at a later date. A USB port on the rear of the interface provides transfer settings and firmware updates via USB key. The Allen & Heath ME-500 ships with a power supply.General Features 16-channel personal mixerPlug-and-play compatible with dLive, GLD, Qu and Aviom A-Net 16Compatible with Digico, Yamaha, Avid and other mixers via ME-U hubConnect any number of ME devices to a systemMix and match ME-500 and ME-1 devicesCan be powered via PoE or external PSU (included)Stereo headphone outputs on 1/8" and 1/4" jacks1/4 TRS mono balanced line out for connection to stage monitor or IEM transmitter Application Specific Design Compact and smart on stageEasy to read display screenBacklit keys for viewing in the darkSurface, plinth, or mic stand mountingBuilt-in top of stand mountOptional side of stand bracketOptional headphones hookEasy Operation Press a Select keyTurn the rotary to adjust LevelPress and turn to adjust PanHold shift and turn to trim all levelsMute individual channels or masterSolo individual channelsAdjust tone using the master EQUse the Limiter to prevent loud peaksStore and recall presets of your mixProtect while away using Standby modeUser Configurable Patch outputs at the source consoleLink outputs for single key stereo selectUse the label strip to identify keysTransfer settings via USB keyUpdate firmware via USB keyConvenient Connection Connect using Cat5 cable up to 328'Locking etherCON connectorsDaisy chain any number of ME mixersParallel connect using Ethernet switchesDirect connection to A&H mixersDirect connection to Aviom A-Net 16Connect to other networks via ME-U hub: 48 kHz Dante, MADI, EtherSoundUse the power unit or PoE via Cat5 cableOptional touring-grade 10-port ME-U PoE hub available
