Audio Components The Difference Between Mono, Stereo, and Multi Here we explain the screen for the components/editors handled by the DME7. When a component is placed on the design sheet, the following screen will initially be displayed. (Example: Fader) These components can control multiple channels (Ch) either individually or collectively by specifying Mono, Stereo, or Multi.
How to Control Control Signals The DME7 uses an area called the Control Layer to connect control component and audio component parameters, and which makes the creation of complex control signal configurations possible. Refer to the ProVisionaire Design User Guide for the procedures. Refer to the description in this manual for each audio component for information about the behavior when the audio parameters are controlled in the Control layer.
● Control Parameter (Red outline): Audio component parameter This is the parameter for the audio component to be controlled. This shows the name of the port used to input the control signal from an external source (Input Port Name), the name of the port that outputs the change notification (Output Port Name), and the range of the parameter that will be controlled (Parameter range). ● Input Value (Blue outline): Recommended data type and range for the input value used to control the target parameter.
Icon Audio component parameters that have this icon can be controlled using the Control layer by putting a check in Control PINs. Icon Control component parameters that have this icon can be registered to a Parameter Set, GPI, DCP, or Remote Control Setup List.
Acoustic Echo Canceller (AEC) Acoustic Echo Canceller (AEC) is a function that eliminates the acoustic echo that can be a problem during remote conferencing when sound from a speaker is picked up by microphones, or steady-state noise such as produced by air conditioning systems. By providing the other party with clear audio from which such echo and noise have been removed, conversation during the remote conference can be conducted smoothly.
■ “AEC” component editor This specifies AEC-related settings. The left side of the screen is Reference, and the right side of the screen is for settings related to microphones connected to Mic In 1–16. If there are more than five mics, a scroll bar will be displayed at the bottom. Mic. 1–16 a [ON] button Switches between enabling or disabling AEC for each microphone. b Level meters These show the input/output levels and information related to acoustic echo.
・Speaker volume is loud. ・Mic gain (MIC1, MIC2) is high. ・The mic and speaker are positioned close together. • [ERLE] level meter Shows in real time the amount of echo (dB) removed by the AEC. The more negative the ERLE value becomes, the more echo is removed by the AEC. • [OUT] level meter Shows the output level from the AEC. c [GAIN] knob This sets the mic gain. d [AEC EFFECT] type This sets the AEC effect. There are 4 options: Soft/Medium/Hard/Custom.
g [GAIN] knob Sets the Reference gain. h [Advanced Settings] window open button Shows the Advanced Settings window. Advanced Settings window Mic. 1–16 [LINEAR AEC] knob / [ECHO SUPP] knob These two are echo canceling functions that use different methods. As the numeric value is increased, more echo cancellation is performed, but if it is raised too high, each one will cause a different type of negative effect.
c [ECHO SUPP] knob Sets the strength of the echo canceler function. As the strength is increased, more echo cancellation is performed, but if the strength is raised too high, the necessary signals will also be removed, which will decrease the sound quality of the speaking voices. This can only be set when Custom has been selected for [AEC EFFECT]. d [DEREVERB] knob Sets the strength of the dereverberation function, which removes the reverberation generated in closed rooms.
Offset. If the microphone connected to MIC1 cannot be placed at the closest position to the speaker, the FE Delay will be set appropriately by setting the Delay Offset. How to set Delay Offset 1. Measure the distance to the microphone connected to MIC1. 2. Measure the distance to the microphone placed closest to the speaker (MIC2 in this case). 3.
Ambient Noise Compensator (ANC) ANC (Ambient Noise Compensator) is a function that boosts or attenuates the level of the program source according to the level that is being input via an ambient noise detection mic. The ANC function provided by the DME7 is a gap-type ANC that detects silent intervals such as between songs, detects the noise level during those intervals, and varies the level accordingly.
■”Ambient Noise Compensator” component editor Here you can make settings related to ANC. When Multi is selected, the ④ meter is not displayed. Please use the separate Meter component.
a ANC [ON] button Switches the ANC function between enabled and disabled. b AMIBIENT • Level meter Shows the level of ambient noise. • [THRESHOLD] knob Specifies the average level of ambient noise. If the level of ambient noise exceeds this value, the level of the program source is raised; if the level is lower than this value, the level of the program source is lowered. c GAP • [THRESHOLD] knob Specifies the threshold value of the program source.
Audio Detector Audio Detector is a function that detects audio signals. By registering the detection indicator to the GPI Output, a signal can be output from the unit's GPI [OUT] connector when an audio signal is detected. Audio ■”Audio Detector” component editor Here you can specify the threshold value of the audio signal, and see whether an input exceeding the threshold value has been detected. a Audio Detector [ON] button Switches the Audio Detector function between enabled and disabled.
below the threshold value, the detection indicator goes dark after the time specified by the [HOLD] knob has elapsed. e [HOLD] knob If the [INFINITE HOLD] button is off, this specifies the time that the detection indicator remains lit after the audio signal falls below the threshold value.
Auto Gain Control (AGC) AGC (Auto Gain Controller) is a function that automatically compensates the gain according to the input level, keeping a constant output level for an incoming signal whose level is changing. For example, differences in how closely and how loudly a person is speaking into a mic can make their amplified voice vary in volume, making it less intelligible. In such cases, the volume will be automatically adjusted within a fixed range.
If the input is above the Threshold value and below –18 dB, the output is set to –18 dB. If the input is above the Threshold value and above –18 dB, the output level is adjusted by the Ratio value. If the noise gate is on, the volume is adjusted so that input and output are the same level at –60 dB, and then adjusted so that the output is –18 dB when it reaches the Threshold value. If the input is above the Threshold value and below –18 dB, the output is set to –18 dB.
f [OUTPUT] level meter Shows the compensated output signal level. Control There are no parameters that can be controlled through the Control layer.
Combiner This function is used when audio signals are shared between multiple rooms, or when a single room is partitioned in varying ways. The audio signal outputs are changed according to how the rooms are divided or connected. The DME7 provides two types of combiner: “Room Combiner” and “Room Combiner plus Automixer.” The latter adds Dan Dugan Automixer functionality. Up to eight rooms can be registered in the combiner, and you can also specify the shape of the rooms as their actual shape.
If you want to reassign the room numbers, click the room numbers consecutively. During editing, if you want to renumber the rooms starting from 1, click the [Restart numbering] button. After you have finished renumbering, click the [Next] button. The screen changes to a screen where you can specify the number of mics placed in the rooms.
In the dropdown list, select the number of mics used by all rooms, and click or drag the cells of the mics to be assigned to the rooms. After you have finished making assignments, click the [Create] button. “Room Combiner plus Automixer” is placed in the design sheet. “Room Combiner” does not have this screen.
The inputs are assigned as follows, starting from the top.
Room Combiner/Room Combiner plus Automixer ■ “Room Combiner” component editor/”Room Combiner plus Automixer” component editor Here you can specify which rooms are combined. a Rooms This area shows the rooms. When you click a button located between two rooms (the combine button), the rooms are combined. Combined rooms are shown in the same color. When you double-click or right-click a tile and choose [Open Parameter Window], the combiner parameter setting window appears.
d Room selection dropdown list This selects the room to which the combine buttons shown below are assigned. e Combine buttons These specify which rooms are combined. Non-adjacent rooms can also be combined. Combiner parameter setting window (Room Combiner) Here you can view and edit the parameters of all rooms. When rooms are connected, [ROOM IN] can be adjusted for each room; however, the setting of the lowest-numbered room takes priority for [PAGING]/[BGM]/[ROOM OUT].
f [ROOM OUT] Adjusts the ROOM OUT level and turns mute on/off. Combiner parameter setting window (Room Combiner plus Automixer) This mixes [LOCAL IN], [BGM], and [PAGING] with each room’s mic inputs that have been auto-mixed and output by the Dugan Automixer. Here you can view and edit the parameters of all rooms. When rooms are connected, [LOCAL IN] can be adjusted for each room; however, the setting of the lowest-numbered room takes priority for parameters other than [LOCAL IN].
e [LOCAL IN] Adjusts the send amount from LOCAL IN to ROOM OUT, and turns mute on/off. f [BGM] Selects one of BGM1 to 4, adjusts the amount of that BGM that is sent to Room Out, and turns mute on/off. g [ROOM OUT] Adjusts the ROOM OUT level and turns mute on/off.

Dugan Automixer window (Room Combiner plus Automixer) This customizes the “Dugan Automixer” component for use with Room Combiner plus Automixer. For details, refer to “Dugan Automixer” component editor. Although the “Dugan Automixer” component mixes mics in units of groups, this window does not have a Group parameter because mics are mixed for each room. The name of the room to which the mic was originally assigned is shown above the channel number.
DCA DCA is a function that registers the input system channels into 8 groups, and allows for operations such as simultaneous muting, or batch level operation using the Offset knob. If the input system channels all belong to the same group, the levels can be operated with a single Offset knob while still retaining the level differences between the channels. This is useful when grouping mics for drums. Audio a Registered channel matrix This is the matrix to register channels into groups.
b [Clear] button This button removes all the channels registered to a group. c [ON] button This button switches between on and off for each group. When set to off, the signals registered to this group are muted. : On : Off (mute) If any input signal has been registered to multiple groups, that signal will be muted when any of the groups to which it has been registered are turned off. d [Offset] knob The offset value added to the input channels registered to the group.
Delay In a sound system that includes multiple speaker units, it may appear to a listener that the voice of the person talking is originating from a nearby speaker unit, rather than from the actual person. In such cases, you can correct the perceived localization by delaying the audio of the nearby speaker unit in proportion to the distance between the speaker unit near the person who is talking and the speaker unit that is far from that person.

Dynamics The DME7 lets you specify six types of components that modify the dynamic range: Compressor, Comp260, Ducker, Gate, Limiter, and Paging Ducker. When placing this in the design sheet, select either Mono, Stereo or Multi. The illustrations used in the following explanation are for the case of Stereo. Audio For components other than Paging Ducker, the bottom input is for inputting the key-in signal. For Paging Ducker, the bottom input is for inputting the signal from the paging mic.
Compressor This type of signal processing compresses the dynamic range. Use this to prevent problems that can occur in the sound if the input exceeds a certain level (threshold). ■ “Compressor” component editor When Multi is selected, the ⑪ meter is not displayed. Please use the separate Meter component. a Compressor [ON] button Switches the compressor function between enabled and disabled.
b Compressor curve This shows the effect as a graph. The horizontal axis is the input signal level, and the vertical axis is the output signal level. c [GR] meter Indicates the amount of gain reduction. d [KEY IN] list box From this list, select the input signal that is used as the key-in signal; that is, the reference signal that causes the compressor to operate. The following choices are provided. • [Self] For a monaural channel component, the input signal is used as the trigger source.
i [RELEASE] knob Specifies the release time (the time from when the input signal falls below the threshold until compression is no longer applied). j [GAIN] knob Sets the gain of the output signal. k [OUTPUT] meter Shows the output signal level. Control There are no parameters that can be controlled through the Control layer.
Comp260 This is an analog-flavored compressor built using Yamaha’s proprietary VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) technology. It emulates the characteristics of compressors and limiters of the mid-1970s, which are now a standard for live sound reinforcement. This compressor has faithfully modeled the VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) circuit and the RMS (Root Mean Square) detection circuit. Compression curve (Knee) can be set to Hard, Medium, or Soft. Attack time and release time are variable.
a Comp260 [ON] button Switches between enabling or disabling the Comp260 function. b Compressor curve This shows the effect as a graph. The horizontal axis is the input signal level, and the vertical axis is the output signal level. c [GR] meter Indicates the amount of gain reduction. d [KEY IN] list box From this list, select the input signal that is used as the key-in signal; that is, the reference signal that causes the compressor to operate. The following choices are provided.
f [RATIO] knob Specifies the Comp260 ratio. When the threshold level is exceeded, the output signal will be adjusted at the ratio “input signal : output signal.” For example with a setting of 4:1, the portion of the signal that exceeds the threshold value will be compressed to 1/4th. g [KNEE] knob Specifies how Comp260 will be applied. With the [HARD] setting, it will operate like a limiter. If the [HARD] setting produces an unnatural impression, raise the value.
Ducker This function reduces the audio signal level (volume) of the input channel when an audio signal is input to a specific channel. For example if this is used on background music and the key-in source is assigned to a channel with a mic connected, the background music will automatically diminish when an announcement is made into that mic, and automatically return to the original volume when the announcement is over. ■ ”Ducker” component editor When Multi is selected, the ④meter is not displayed.
b Ducking curve This shows the effect as a graph. The horizontal axis is the input signal level, and the vertical axis is the output signal level. c [GR] meter Indicates the amount of gain reduction. d [KEY IN] list box From this list, select the input signal that is used as the key-in signal; that is, the reference signal that causes Ducker to operate. The following choices are provided. • [Self] For a monaural channel component, the input signal is used as the trigger source.
j [OUT] meter Shows the output signal level.
Gate This type of signal processing passes the audio signal only while it exceeds a specified volume. Use this to cut low-level noise, such as when there is no input from a mic, or when the input is below a specified level (the threshold value). ■ ”Gate” component editor When Multi is selected, the ⑩ meter is not displayed. Please use the separate Meter component. a Gate [ON] button Switches the gate function between enabled and disabled. b Gate curve This shows the effect as a graph.
The following choices are provided. • [Self] For a monaural channel component, the input signal is used as the trigger source. • [L] For a stereo channel component, the L input signal is used as the trigger source. • [R] For a stereo channel component, the R input signal is used as the trigger source. • [KeyIn] The key-in input is used as the trigger source. • [Max In] This sets the signal with the largest value in a stereo channel or a multi-channel component as the trigger source.
Limiter Input signals that exceed the threshold value are compressed ∞:1, preventing signals greater than the threshold value from being output. This is used mainly to keep power amps and speaker systems from being damaged by excessive input. ■ ”Limiter” component editor When Multi is selected, the ⑧ meter is not displayed. Please use the separate Meter component.
a Limiter [ON] button Switches the limiter function between enabled and disabled. b Limiter curve This shows the effect as a graph. The horizontal axis is the input signal level, and the vertical axis is the output signal level. c [GR] meter Indicates the amount of gain reduction. d [KEY IN] list box From this list, select the input signal that is used as the key-in signal; that is, the reference signal that causes the limiter to operate.

You can change the settings by dragging the points in the graph. Hold key on the computer keyboard while dragging to move in only the horizontal or vertical direction. b PEQ [ON] button Switches the PEQ function between enabled and disabled.
boosted or cut. Use this for purposes such as bass boost. [6dB/Oct] and [12dB/Oct] specify the amount of attenuation per octave. • H.SHELF (High Shelf) The volume of the entire high-frequency region above the specified frequency will be boosted or cut. Use this for purposes such as high boost. [6dB/Oct] and [12dB/Oct] specify the amount of attenuation per octave. • HPF(High Pass Filter) The region below the specified frequency will be cut.
Fader This adjusts the output level of each channel. When placing this in the design sheet, select either Mono, Stereo or Multi, and specify the number of channels. The illustration used in the following explanation is for the case of eight monaural channels. Audio When Stereo is selected, the inputs and outputs are 1L, 1R, 2L, and 2R from the top. ■ “Fader” component editor When Multi is selected, the meter is not displayed. Please use the separate Meter component.
c [⌀] button Specifies whether the phase of the output signal of each channel is inverted. If you click the button to make it light, the phase of that channel’s output signal is inverted. d Fader This adjusts the output level of each channel. You can right-click the fader to access the context menu, and select [0 dB] or [-Infinity]. e Port name Shows or edits the port name. This is linked with the “Label” of the component’s ports.
Feedback Suppressor The Feedback Suppressor (subsequently referred to as FBS) is a function that prevents the unpleasant acoustic feedback that occurs when sound from a speaker is picked up by a mic and re-amplified. In addition to being unpleasant, acoustic feedback places a strain on the speakers, and can damage them. To prevent such feedback, place the speakers so that their sound will not be picked up by the mic and amplified.
Notch FBS ■ “Notch FBS” component editor FIXED After the speakers and mics have been installed, and while the DME7 settings are being made, this method proactively finds feedback points in the current sound system, and applies the appropriate filters. This is effective for mics whose position is fixed. a FIXED [ON] button Switches the detection result between enabled and disabled. b [DETECT] button Starts or stops detection. This is available only when online. Detection does not end automatically.
g [Freq.] Displays the frequencies of the filters that were applied. Up to seven filters will be applied. • The indicator will light when the following occurs. - When a frequency is displayed - When a currently-displayed frequency is rewritten • When using FIXED, calculation will continue repeatedly even after all seven filters have been displayed, for example to combine the frequencies that are closest to each other.
and try the above procedure once again from step 1. In some cases, detection will not occur correctly if the overall volume is raised excessively, or if the mics and speakers are too close, or if sound from a speaker is directly entering a mic. The DME7 cannot detect multiple feedback points simultaneously. Slowly increasing the fader and gain, etc. to allow the acoustic feedback to occur gradually will allow for appropriate results to be obtained.
Pitch Shift FBS ■ “Pitch Shift FBS” component editor a Pitch Shift FBS [ON] button Switches the Pitch Shift FBS function between enabled and disabled. Pitch Shift FBS operation will begin when you turn this on. b Mode list box Selects the type of input signal. The modes are as follows. • Speech Choose this if the input signal is speech. • Music Choose this if the input signal is music. c [SUPPRESSION LEVEL] knob Specifies the amount by which feedback is suppressed. Higher values produce a stronger effect.
Filter A filter allows a specific frequency region to pass and attenuates other frequency regions. The DME7 provides three types of filter: BPF (band-pass filter), HPF (high-pass filter), and LPF (low-pass filter). Select either Mono, Stereo or Multi when you place this component in the design sheet. The illustrations used in the following explanation are for the case of Stereo. The filter attenuation amount and type can be selected from the [HPF] list box and the [LPF] list box in each component editor.

Probe Probes have 2 functions. The first is to monitor any output point. Using two probes, each signal can be independently and simultaneously monitored, and the relationship between the two signals can also be checked. When output to Dante, you can listen to audio on a computer using the Dante Virtual Soundcard. In addition, 2 outputs can be input to Smmart to see the correlation. The other function of a probe is to temporarily interrupt the oscillator signal to a specific input point.
d Monitor 1 You can select from Dante Out 1–256 and USB Out 1–8 for the Monitor 1 output. e Monitor 2 You can select from Dante Out 1–256 and USB Out 1–8 for the Monitor 2 output. f [Monitor 1]/[Monitor 2] meter This displays the signal level being output. g [LEVEL] knob Specifies the output level. Procedure 1. With the device in an online state, turn the probe monitor function ON. The cursor changes to the probe shape. 2.
As long as Probe is not set to OFF, the Probe will not be canceled, even if the Probe component window is closed.
Router This component distributes inputs to output ports. Although one input can be output to multiple channels, multiple inputs cannot be output to a single channel. Select the number of channels (maximum 256In/256Out) when you place this component in the design sheet. The number of Dante Input/Output channels is determined by the number of activated device licenses. In the explanation here, the illustration shows the example of 8 input channels and 16 output channels.

Control Components Control Methods for Control Components Control components can be divided into three broad types. Trigger-type control components: Trigger-type components are used primarily to output control signals through the operation of knobs, buttons, etc. and to use those signals to control other components, or to execute desired processes by sending control signals to processing-type components. (It is also possible to move a controller by inputting a control signal.
Processing-type control components: Processing-type components output the result of specific processing in response to an input control signal. The DME7 provides components for each of these process types. The following example (NOT) explains how to use this list.

Router Assigns an input to an output port. One input can be output to multiple channels, but multiple inputs cannot be output to a single channel. (For 2 inputs) INPUT 1: Input value to channel 1 2: Input value to channel 2 Out1 In1: Switches the output of In1 to Out1 (OFF:0, ON:1) (*) Out1 In2: Switches the output of In2 to Out1 (OFF:0, ON:1) (*) Out1 Sel: Specifies the input signal output to Out1 (0–64) (*) The signal is not output if 0 is specified.
■ ”Router” component editor ① This is the router that distributes inputs signals. Clicking on a square toggles the output on or off.

Other GPI In Converts signals input from GPI IN into control signals that can be handled by the Control layer. For the input from each GPI In connector (16 connectors), a continuous value (normalized from 0 to 1) is output from each output port. There are two GPI Input setting methods. ・Configure the settings in the GPI Input dialog that opens from the [Tools] button on the device sheet. Try this method to execute a single function using the input from a single [GPI IN] connector.
■ ”GPI Input” component editor The input GPI signal is converted to a normalized value (0 to 1) using the specified method, and is then output. Refer to the GPI Input dialog in the ProVisionaire Design User Guide for the rest.
