Precautions for rack mounting
The guaranteed operating temperature range for this device is 0 to 40 °C. When multiple DME7 devices are
mounted and operated on a standard EIA rack, it is not necessary to leave space between them. When this
device is mounted on a standard EIA rack together with other devices, heat generated from those devices may
impair performance due to the elevated temperature in the rack. In order to prevent heat from building up inside
this device, be sure to mount it in a manner that satisfies the following conditions.
•When mounted together with a power amplifier or other devices that tend to generate heat, leave at least
1U of space between this device and other devices. In addition, in order to ensure adequate ventilation,
install vented panels at those spaces or leave the spaces open.
•This device is designed to intake air at the front and exhaust it at the rear, so do not install it together with
other devices that intake air at the rear and exhaust it at the front.
•Leave the rear of the rack open and the rack positioned at least 10 cm away from the wall and ceiling. If
the rear of the rack cannot be left open, use a commercially available fan kit or other forced air ventilation
system. If a fan kit is installed, note that closing off the rear of the rack can improve heat dissipation in
some cases. For details, refer to the instruction manuals for the rack and fan kit.

About Dante
■ Overview of Dante
The DME7 transmits digital audio signals by using the Dante protocol. Dante is a network audio protocol
developed by Audinate. In a network environment compatible with Gigabit Ethernet, Dante has the advantage of
being able to transmit multiple audio signals with different sampling frequencies/bit rates as well as device
control signals within the same network.
For details on Dante, refer to the Audinate website.
http://www.audinate.com/
In addition, a variety of information about Dante can be found on the Yamaha Pro Audio website.
https://www.yamahaproaudio.com/
NOTE
•With a Dante network, do not use the EEE function* of the network switch.
The EEE function may deteriorate the clock synchronization performance and interrupting audio.
Therefore, please note the following.
◦When using managed switches, turn off the EEE function on all ports used for Dante. Do not
use a switch that does not allow the EEE function to be turned off.
◦When using unmanaged switches, do not use switches that support the EEE function. In such
switches, the EEE function cannot be turned off.
Ê*EEE (Energy-Efficient Ethernet) function: Technology that reduces the power consumption of Ethernet
devices during periods of low network traffic; also known as Green Ethernet or IEEE802.3az

About connection
There are two methods of connecting this model to a Dante network, and they can be used in combination.
Redundant connection
A redundant connection allows you to build a system that is more resistant to network failures than a daisy-
chained network. A redundant connection consists of two circuits, a primary (main) circuit and a secondary (sub)
circuit. Communication normally occurs on the primary circuit, but automatically switches to the secondary
circuit if a problem occurs, such as the primary circuit being disconnected.
NOTE
•If you wish to run Dante audio network and ProVisionaire Design’s network on the same computer,
connect them using separate network interface cards.
About Dante
16 | DME7 V1.1 Reference Manual
Daisy-chain connection
A daisy chain is a connection method where devices are strung together. Building such a network is simple and
the number of network switches can be reduced.
As more devices are connected, the transmission delay increases between the devices furthest apart, requiring
the latency setting to be increased in order to prevent sound interruptions on the Dante network. Moreover, if a
system failure occurs due to a broken cable, etc., the network will be interrupted at that point, making
transmission with devices beyond that point impossible.
With the latency set to the default (1.0 msec), up to ten Dante devices can be connected in a daisy chain. If
eleven or more devices are connected, the communication delay within the network will increase, possibly
causing interruptions in the sound. In order to avoid this, either increase the Dante latency setting or use an L2
switch (Gigabit Ethernet compatible) to split the network.
NOTE
•Do not connect more than one port to the same external switch since this would create a network
loop.
The appropriate latency setting for signals sent and received over a Dante audio network differs depending on
the connection method and scale. The following is an explanation of how to select the [Latency] setting based on
the connections between Dante-compatible devices and the DME7.
About Dante
DME7 V1.1 Reference Manual | 17
■ Relationship between latency and hop count
The [Latency] setting for the Dante audio network depends on the hop count in that network.
The hop count is the number of switches between the farthest connections of Dante devices. A switch is built
into not only each switching hub but also each DME7 and I/O device. The hop count provides a guideline for
specifying the [Latency] setting.
Typical [Latency] settings for various hop counts are shown below.
Hop count Latency
(ms)
Up to 3 0.25
Up to 5 0.5
Up to 10 1.0
Up to 20 2.0
21 or more
(or if problems occur) 5.0
