Mode 3: One-way Audio Cascade: PM5D to DME64N
This uses the Cascade function, from the CASCADE OUT port of PM5D to the CASCADE IN port of DME64N. (PM5D MIX buses are sent to the DME cascade buses.)
Advantages:
Use DME for larger matrix.
Use DME for extra output processing GEQs, crossovers, delays.
All slot I/O are available for other devices.
This cascade method still works at 96 kHz with no loss of channels (The CASCADE IN/OUT ports can work in ‘DOUBLE SPEED’ mode.)
Disadvantages:
There is no patch for choosing which PM5D channels send to the DME64N.
Cascade from PM5D is pre-processing, so PM5D’s output EQ/comp/delay are bypassed.
Can only return audio from DME via slot inputs.
Cannot control any DME functions from PM5D.
Cannot monitor DME audio on PM5D CUE bus.
