Thanks to its flexible DSP processing and I/O capability, the Yamaha DME series of digital mixing engines has an excellent reputation in a wide range of markets, including theatre, broadcasting, commercial installations and live events. Now the company is further extending the DME’s potential by introducing the MY4-AEC Echo Canceller card, offering high definition sound and flexibility to the audio and video conferencing markets.

 

Remote conferencing systems allow the significant reduction of travel time and costs, aiding the implementation of environmentally friendly policies and improved productivity. With the introduction of high definition (HD) video in this area, Yamaha’s DME systems are becoming increasingly popular as a means of improving the quality of conference audio.

 

Echo cancelling negates the echo that arises when the sound from a loudspeaker is picked up by a microphone in the same room. With DME systems being very popular in installations such as conference halls and meeting rooms - where complex, high-quality processing and routing is required - Yamaha has received many requests for a dedicated processor to deal with the complex issue of echo cancellation. These requests have been answered with the introduction of the MY4-AEC.
