Sale price$890.00Regular price(/)
The ME-500 personal mixer’s intuitive hands on controls 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 massive time saver for the audio engineer.
ME-500 is ideal for keeping onstage sound levels under control and speeding up sound checks in a wide variety of live environments, from touring bands to orchestral performances and houses of worship. The ME-500 is also a smart, cost effective choice for foldback mixing in the studio.
FEATURES
16 Channel personal mixer Plug ‘n’ play compatible with dLive, GLD, Qu and Aviom® A-Net 16 Compatible with Digico, Yamaha, Avid and other mixers via ME-U hub Connect any number of ME devices to a system Mix and match ME-500 and ME-1 devices Can be powered via PoE or external PSU (included) Stereo headphone outputs on 3.5mm and ¼” jacks ¼” TRS mono balanced line out for connection to stage monitor or IEM transmitter
Simple & Powerful ME-500 is designed to give musicians powerful, detailed control over their monitor sound, without the distraction of complex menus and clutter. The rotary control beneath the display navigates and controls most functions and, together with the dimmable, backlit keys – including dedicated Solo and Mute controls – and display, makes it easy to find your way around ME-500, even in the dark. Each ME-500 can store and recall 8 user presets, so mixes can be saved for different songs, musicians or shows. Presets and whole configurations can be saved to USB for archiving or swapping between ME-500s.
Plug ‘n’ Play Setup With ME-500 there’s no time-consuming configuration of individual units. The first 16 mono / stereo channels and / or mixes assigned from the mixer will be automatically mapped to ME-500’s 16 select keys, so it’s fast and simple to deploy personal mixers in pressured situations such as festivals.
Build quality Designed in the UK and built to Allen & Heath’s zero compromise standards, the ME-500 is tough enough for the rigours of touring. Add the peace of mind factor of locking EtherCon connectors and you have a mixer that’s ready for whatever you throw at it.
Sound Pedigree We know that the quality of their monitors has a profound effect on a musician’s performance and on their enjoyment of the show. ME-500 continues Allen & Heath’s long-standing tradition of exceptional audio quality, delivering 16 channels of clean, uncoloured sound. The headphone amp design delivers plenty of power, complemented by ME-500’s built-in limiter to protect performers’ ears from unexpected spikes in levels.
Compatible with Allen & Heath, Aviom®, DiGiCo, Yamaha, Avid and more… When a personal mixing system sounds this good you want everyone to hear it, so we’ve made it possible for ME-500 to interface with most digital audio systems. If you’re using one of our own digital mixers or swapping out older Aviom® A-Net 16 units, ME-500 is compatible right out of the box. If you’re using other digital mixers you’ll need to add a ME-U hub fitted with a Dante, MADI, Waves or EtherSound module.
Scalable Whether you’re working with a soloist, a full orchestra or more, ME has you covered. There is no limit to the number of ME personal mixers you can add to a system, plus you’re free to mix and match ME-1s and ME-500s, so everyone can enjoy great monitors. Secure EtherCon connectors allow ME-500s to be daisy-chained, or deployed in a star topplogy using the ME-U or an off-the-shelf PoE switch.
8 user presets Levels, pan, mutes and key assignments can all be stored and recalled at the touch of a button.
Presets for different bands and application scenarios can be conveniently copied to USB key or the whole configuration saved. Ideal for archiving or quick transferring to other units.
Free standing or surface mounted ME-500 can be used standalone or mounted on the top of a mic stand. There’s also an optional bracket available (part number AB8999) for mounting the mixer on the side of a mic stand.
Ace controller to have around the house. Easy to move around with the battery and USB-C power and being totally standalone. Love the minimal look and the functionality is just right for me, everything I need to play with confidence. Streaming of Beatport and TIDAL has now also been added with a firmware update, and works nicely. I sold a DDJ-1000 and got this to replace it and am very happy.
Only thing I'm missing is maybe a second USB port to transition between DJs, but there are workaround for this.

Look high and low for this!
I am from the USA and had to scour high and low to be able to find a pair of these special limited edition control vinyls. Only 1500 copies were pressed and so I am grateful Mix Foundation had some in stock and was willing to ship in internationally to me. The vinyls arrived within in less than 2 weeks in perfect condition. Awesome customer service from Mix Foundation, thank you!

Ultimately It’s A Laptop Stand
So, um… yep, it’s definitely a laptop stand, and it is indeed black (as pictured). It stands and holds… erm… laptops. It may even hold other items, like a bag of potato chips (update: it will not feasibly hold a bag of potato chips although this is most likely the result of a flaw in the design of the potato chip bag, rather than the stand).
Unfortunately, it’s also unlikely to hold a very heavy item either, like, say, a car. Or even just a car engine. To be fair, UDG has never claimed that this stand will hold any sort of vehicle. Still, I suggest you’d be better off purchasing a hoist or jack if you plan to lift a vehicle of any description. And yes, I get that this might seem a bit OVER THE TOP for a smaller vehicle, like a bicycle.
I use the stand when DJing. It ELEVATES my performance. It’s outSTANDING and really LIFTs my confidence. The audience also gets a RISE out of interacting with it. Using it really is the Ultimate HIGH.
An unexpected benefit is that the blackness of the stand matches the color of my soul after playing "Wagon Wheel," “TikTok” or "I Gotta Feeling" for the one million billion gazillionth time.
By 2:45 AM, I can really use the BOOST provided by the beauty of the stand’s shiny finish. While this might seem beneficial at first, it often turns into a downside; I start contemplating how the stand will likely lose its shine as it ages. This sends my morale into a downward spiral as I reflect on my own aging. I begin to question some of my life choices. Am I losing my shine? I mean, I’m not in as good shape as I was when I was unboxed. (It occurs to me that this may be due to the potato chips.) Whatever the reason, this line of thought makes me sad. However, it’s probably unreasonable to blame the stand for this.
I HIGHLY recommend purchasing a UDG Ultimate Height Adjustable Laptop Stand in Black. But only if you’re looking for a stand for your laptop.
(Further update: The potato chip problem can be resolved by ensuring that you install the firmware update and place the bag UNDER the erect laptop stand. Note that this will only work with thin-cut chips.) ((Some thick-cut chips may work if the bag is reinforced—I have yet to test this, so you might want to tread lightly before going all gung-ho with your chip placement choices. Also, make sure to keep a backup of the stand. Not the chips)). Side note: I would also NOT suggest that you tread ON the stand, no matter how lightly you might do so.
Whether you’re an expert laptop stand user or still a relative novice, I hope I’ve convinced you to purchase this stand.
Or some potato chips.

I dealt with Phillip and Mike. Mike went the extra mile and was very good at communicating and clarifying the different stages when purchasing via the online process. Thanks Mike. Very happy with the DDJ controller and enjoying the creative process. Thanks Mix Foundation, you are on point.

great product and service.
A last minute conversation and prompt delivery of this exact item required ensured my 1010 Bluebox was operating in time for critical rehearsals. Mix Foundation for the win!
Simple & easy way to protect your investment from dust or any random items falling on to your gear. It's as simple as placing the Decksaver on top of your gear.

Awesome piece of hardware. If you've owned Pioneer gear before, you know the quality is top notch. Coming from the DDJ-SX, the DDJ-FL10 is definitely an upgrade.
Don't think twice about buying it, just make the purchase.
