DISC Allen and Heath ME-1 Personal Mixer

Full Description

Equally at home on stage, in rehearsal rooms or recording studios, the ME-1 Personal Mixer puts the musician in control of their own monitor mix. Whether you crave maximum control over the fine details of your mix or just want the minimum keys to press, the ME-1 gives you a tailored setup that works perfectly for you.

Operation is intuitive and elegant, with simple controls, clear visual feedback and custom naming for instant familiarity. With ME-1, everyone benefits from slicker soundchecks and quicker setups. Whether you're monitoring on headphones, wired or wireless in-ears, using drum thrones or local speakers, the ME Personal Mixing System offers unrivalled sound quality.

16 assignable user keys

Backlit rubber keys make ME-1 controls perfectly visible in the dark. The 16 user keys can be assigned to a single source or to a group, with all the convenience of pressing a single button no matter what you want to control - the vocalist mic, a stereo pair or the whole drumkit.

16 user presets

Levels, pan, mutes and key assignments can all be stored and recalled at the touch of a button. Presets for different bands and application scenarios can be conveniently copied to USB key of the whole configuration saved, ideal for archiving or wuoick transferring to other units.

Groups

Groups make it possible to mix up to 40 sources with only 16 keys, saving a lot of buses at the main console. The ME-1 has the sophistication to do it all on-board whilst remaining easy to use.

OLED Screen

Providing a clear display of level and pan for the selected source, the system setup and information menus, plus a highly responsive stereo signal meter. The OLED can also be dimmed for low-light operation.

Custom Naming

This useful features makes it all even easier, letting you display custom names for all channels and groups so you know exactly which source you're tweaking.

One knob controls everything

A single, large rotary control beneath the display is used to access and navigate all of ME-1's most commonly used functions and menus, including input control of level and pan, group control of master level, level and pan for each member of the group, control of the master EQ and limiter and Global Trim, simultaneously adjusting all channel levels to prevent running the mix too hot.

Built-in ambient mic

With ME-1, musicians are not isolated from the rest of the stage. The ambient mic keeps you in touch with the stage sound and lets you hear the audience and communicate with each other without the need to pull out your ear pieces. The local mic level is independent of the master level control.

The ME-1 is complemented by the ME-U Monitor Hub (sold separately), which opens up the benefits of ME to users of other professional digital mixers via Dante, Ethersound or MADI. ME-1 also has an Aviom™ compatibility mode for use with Aviom™ Pro 16 systems.
