Allen & Heath Me-500 16 Channel Personal Mixer

Allen Heath Me-500 16 Channel Personal Mixer

The personal mixing system puts the musician in control of his own monitor mix. Each interpreter can be given a custom configuration that works perfectly for them, whether they long for maximum control over the fine details of their mix or simply want to press the minimum of keys. The operation is intuitive and stylish, with simple controls and clear visual feedback for instant familiarity. The system has earned respect for robust road reliability and, of course, lives up to Allen & Heath's reputation for exceptional audio quality.

ME-500 is a powerful mixing and quick preparation solution, easy to install and easy to learn for anyone in moments. The intuitive practical controls of the ME-500 personal mixer 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 great time saving for the audio engineer.

Which one is right for me?

Although superficially similar, Me-1 and Me-500 are quite different solutions for different types of users and scenarios. For resident artists (such as a streaming band or a church praise band), shows with a high number of channels and a lot of rehearsal time, ME-1 allows the engineer to set up each unit to perfectly reflect the tastes and needs of each artist. For low-budget or channel-count applications, or for more improvised settings where the engineer and artists have a very limited sound test time (the festivals are the typical example), Me-500 is a great solution for the show to run with the minimum fuss.

-Quick setup: With ME-500 there is no time-consuming individual unit configuration. The first 16 mono/stereo channels and/or mixes assigned from the mixer will automatically be assigned to the 16 selection keys of the ME-500, making it quick and easy to implement personal mixers in situations pressed like festivals.-8 User Presets: The Levels, panning and silence can be stored and retrieved at the touch of a button. Presets can be saved to USB and easily transferred to different ME-500s.
