Connecting Multiple ME-1s
Multiple ME-1s may be “daisy-chained” together to provide additional input points,
normally in the same zone. Signals applied to plates wired in this way will be summed
together to the DCM-1 Microphone Input to which the “last” ME-1 in the chain is
connected. An internal gating circuit on each plate automatically “disconnects” any
chained plates which are not in use, to minimise noise contribution. All microphones
plugged into ME-1s on such a chained system will be summed together into one mono
signal.
Multiple ME-1s may be daisy-chained together by connecting the LINK RJ45 socket on
the first ME-1 (that whose OUTPUT socket is connected directly to the DCM-1) to
the OUTPUT socket on the second ME-1, and so on, as shown on page 4.
