Introduction to the DME Satellite Audio System Network Multiple DME series units that are interconnected in a network via Ethernet function as a single audio system. In a DME audio system, a group of the same models that can be operated in sync is called a “device group;” audio processing divisions that accommodate multiple device groups are called “zones;” and the entire area serviced by the acoustic system is called an “area.” Each device group always includes one DME series un
