The ME-1 input connector plate provides two balanced microphone inputs, and is useful in multi-purpose areas where mics are sometimes needed. The ME-1 has adjustable mic level and EQ per input, and connects to one of the DCM-1's four dedicated Mic inputs with a single screened CAT-5 cable. The ME-1's two inputs are mixed together at the plate, and the summed mic signal applied to the DCM-1.
