Allen & Heath ME-500 16 Channel Personal Mixer

Simple yet powerful the ME-500 from Allen & Heath allows performers to take control of their own mix - whether through wedges, headphones or IEMs - to ensure that the mix is perfect. Apowerful walk-up-and-mix solution, the ME-500 is quick to set up and easy for just about anyone to learn in moments. Now you can control of up to 40 sources by any number of performers without consuming any Mix busses on the main console. A powerful stereo headphone amplifier plus a separate mono ¼” line output provide monitoring options for the performer directly from the personal mixer and PoE compatibility helps to reduce cables and clutter on the stage.

The ME-500 personal mixer’s intuitive hands-on controls and crisp visual display make it easy for musicians to quickly build and control their own monitor mixes. With plug ‘n’ play setup and self-sufficient musicians, ME-500 is also a massive time-saver for the audio engineer. The ME-500 is complemented by the ME-U hub, which opens up the benefits of ME to users of other professional digital mixers via Dante™ or MADI. There is also an Aviom® compatibility mode for use with Aviom® Pro16® systems. In addition, the ME system is compatible with DiGiCo mixers fitted with a DMI-ME module.
