5.3 The ME Personal Mixing System
The Allen & Heath ME Personal Mixing System can be used with the Qu mixer. This provides
customisable personal monitor control for individual musicians and performers on stage.
ME-1 personal mixer – A compact personal mixer
able to work with up to 40 channels. Features built-in
headphones and monitor output. Intuitive and easy to
operate, its 16 select keys can be configured to
provide as much or as little control as the musician
needs.
The 40 ME channels are mapped from the Qu input
channel direct outputs, FX and mixes to dSNAKE. Qu
sends audio and stereo status information. Channels
can be chosen and grouped to ME-1 keys using the
setup function available on the ME-1 mixer.
Multiple ME-1 mixers can be connected in series
(daisy chained) by linking the output of one to the
input of the next. Alternatively, they can be connected
in parallel and powered over their Cat5 cables using a
standard PoE Ethernet switch or the Allen & Heath
ME-U hub. The ME connects directly to a dSNAKE
compatible port using a Cat5 cable.
Connecting ME to the AR2412 AudioRack - ME-1 mixers, a standard Ethernet switch or the ME-U hub
can be plugged into either or both the AR2412 MONITOR and EXPANDER ports.
Connecting ME to the Qu mixer - ME-1 mixers, a standard Ethernet switch or the ME-U hub can be
plugged directly into the Qu dSNAKE port if you are not using this to connect to an AudioRack. Power can
be provided over the Cat5 by the ME-U or a PoE switch.
