Overview
The ME-500 is the simpler member of the ME family: 16 mono or stereo channels, each with level and pan, for performers who want a straightforward personal mix. The first 16 channels or mixes from the console map to the 16 select keys automatically, so there is very little to set up. It shares the ME-1's chassis, network and power options, and the two can be mixed on the same system.
Eight user presets save to USB, there is a master 2 band EQ and a limiter, and solo and mute keys make quick checks easy. Headphone outputs are on quarter inch and 3.5 mm. Power by PoE or the external PSU, and daisy chain or run from an ME-U hub.

Forefront Tip
Order your 16 most useful sources (or ME groups) first in the console's ME patch, because the ME-500 maps those first 16 to its keys automatically. The mic stand bracket and headphone hanger are sold separately for the ME-500.
