The DME Audio System Network
In an audio system including one or more DME units and/or SP2060 units, the “control space” is
logically organized using the concepts of “Area”, “Zone”, and “Device Group”. The space covered by
the entire system is the “Area”, while independent sonic spaces within that Area are called “Zone” A
group of DME or SP2060 units assigned to the same function are considered a “Device Group”.
An Area is comprised of one or more Zones, and each Zone can include up to 32 Device Groups.
A single Device Group can include as many as 16 devices. Each Device Group has one “Group
Master”.
NOTE
Meter response may deteriorate as the number of meters displayed in a single device group in DME Designer increases. In
such cases meter response can be improved by dividing the device group.
See “Changing Device Groups” on
NOTE
DME and SP2060 units cannot be combined in the same Device Group.
NOTE
All devices in a Device Group must be on the same subnet.
