Using an external head amp Using an external head amp If you connect an external head amp that supports remote control via a dedicated protocol (e.g, Yamaha AD8HR, SB168-ES) to the REMOTE connector of the M7CL-32/48 or the EtherSound connector of the M7CL-48ES. You will be able to remotely control parameters such as the phantom power (+48V), gain, and HPF of each channel from the M7CL. For information on connecting the M7CL48-ES to SB168-ES units, please refer to the "Connecting SB168-ES units to the M7CL-48ES using the STAGE BOX SETUP function" section in Chapter 4. (→ p. 43) NOTE • Connecting the M7CL-48ES and DME8i-ES/4io-ES via the EtherSound connectors enables you to remotely control the DME8i-ES/4io-ES's head amp. For more information on the settings, please refer to the DME8i-ES/ 8o-ES/4io-ES Owner's Manual and AVS-ESMonitor Owner's Manual. Connecting the M7CL-32/48 to the AD8HR To remotely control the AD8HR from the M7CL-32/48, use an RS422 D-sub9 pin cable to connect the REMOTE connector located on the M7CL-32/48's rear panel to the AD8HR's HA REMOTE 1 connector. This connection allows the M7CL-32/48 to remotely control the AD8HR. So that the signals input to the AD8HR will be sent to the M7CL-32/48, use a D-sub25 pin AES/EBU cable to connect the AD8HR's DIGITAL OUT A (or B) to an I/O card installed in a slot of the M7CL-32/48.

Using an external head amp

190

If you connect an external head amp that supports remote control via a dedicated protocol (e.g,

Yamaha AD8HR, SB168-ES) to the REMOTE connector of the M7CL-32/48 or the EtherSound

connector of the M7CL-48ES. You will be able to remotely control parameters such as the phan-

tom power (+48V), gain, and HPF of each channel from the M7CL.

For information on connecting the M7CL48-ES to SB168-ES units, please refer to the “Connect-

ing SB168-ES units to the M7CL-48ES using the STAGE BOX SETUP function” section in Chap-

ter 4. (

→

p. 43)

To remotely control the AD8HR from the M7CL-32/48,

use an RS422 D-sub9 pin cable to connect the REMOTE

connector located on the M7CL-32/48’s rear panel to the

AD8HR’s HA REMOTE 1 connector. This connection

allows the M7CL-32/48 to remotely control the AD8HR.

So that the signals input to the AD8HR will be sent to the

M7CL-32/48, use a D-sub25 pin AES/EBU cable to con-

nect the AD8HR’s DIGITAL OUT A (or B) to an I/O card

installed in a slot of the M7CL-32/48.

Alternatively, you can use a “daisy chain” connection to

remotely control multiple AD8HR units simultaneously.

To do this, connect the AD8HR’s HA REMOTE 2 connec-

tor to the second AD8HR’s HA REMOTE 1 connector. If

you use three Yamaha MY16-AE units, you can connect

up to six AD8HR units.

Connecting the M7CL-48ES and DME8i-ES/4io-ES via the EtherSound connectors enables you to remotely

control the DME8i-ES/4io-ES’s head amp. For more information on the settings, please refer to the DME8i-ES/

8o-ES/4io-ES Owner’s Manual and AVS-ESMonitor Owner’s Manual.
