Personal monitor mixer with up to 40 channels, 3-band EQ, 16 assignable keys, OLED display and PoE/12 V DC power.
The ME-1 is a digital personal monitor mixer that allows performers to create and control their own monitor mix. It can receive up to 40 audio sources within a single system and provides individual level and pan control for selected channels or groups.
The dimmable OLED display shows channel names, levels, pan and level meters. Users can store up to 16 presets, use groups and assign functions to 16 keys for quick access to the controls needed for their personal mix.
The ME-1 features a 3-band master EQ, limiter, Solo and Mute functions, as well as a built-in signal generator. An Aux input allows an external audio source such as an MP3 player or click track to be connected.

Easy Operation
The ME-1 is designed for fast and intuitive personal monitor mixing. Physical keys provide direct access to channels and groups, while the rotary control is used to adjust level and pan.
User settings can be stored as presets for quick recall. The USB connection allows settings and presets to be transferred and firmware updates to be performed.
Convenient Connection
The ME-1 receives audio and control data over a single Cat5 cable using two locking EtherCON RJ45 connectors. Multiple ME mixers can be daisy-chained or connected through standard Ethernet switches.
A 3.5 mm stereo Aux input is provided for external audio sources. Headphones can be connected via 3.5 mm and 1/4" stereo outputs, while a separate 1/4" TRS mono line output is also provided.
Mounting and Power
The ME-1 can be used freestanding or mounted on a microphone stand. It features a 3/8" thread, with a mounting bracket included. A headphone hanger is also included.
Power can be supplied using the external 12 V DC power supply or via PoE. IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards are supported.
Compatibility
The ME-1 is designed for use with Allen & Heath dLive, Avantis and SQ/SQ+ systems. It is also compatible with GLD, Qu and iLive systems, as well as Aviom A-Net 16.
Using the ME-U hub, the ME system can be integrated with third-party digital audio systems, including Dante and MADI infrastructures. ME-U allows up to 40 audio sources from compatible third-party systems to be used with an ME-1 system.
