Yamaha
DME24/62 - 24in, 24out or 62in, 62 out programmable unit - can be programmed via PC to do virtually anything - matrixing, routing, dynamics, graphic EQ, Delay, reverb, surround sound. Can be linked to other DME's to form larger systems using Ethersound or Cobranet. Often used as a matrix to expand the capabilities of mixing desks with limited outputs or matrix sections.
They are increasingly replacing Soundwebs in theatre, due to the MIDI control and that they use the same YGDAI expansion cards as the Yamaha digital desks making interconnection of diferent format inputs and outputs very easy.

The older DME32 (32in, 32out) is less programmable but useful.

BSS
Soundweb 9088 - 8 in, 8 out, programmable unit - can be programmed via PC to do virtually anything - matrixing, routing, dynamics, graphic EQ, Delay. Can be linked to other Soundweb's to form larger systems. Multiple Soundweb's linked together are often used as a matrix to expand the capabilities of mixing desks with limited outputs or matrix sections Increasingly unreliable due to age, and quite noisy. Has been superseded by BSS Soundweb London range which has enhanced specs.
