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.

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.

Soo helpful
The gentleman who helped me in store was fantastic. Patient and knowledgeable about the product. Thanks!
Great set of headphones. So much easier with no cable attached to the DJ system. No latency at all just like as if a cable is used.
Awesome product.
The headphone is simply perfect. As a DJ and producer for over a decade, I can say that it has a very good quality.
Good quality product, very happy with the purchase
Ive been putting off buying these for years. My og ones were thrown in a skip by my dad. Still bitter about that but I'm super happy with this purchase. They look very high quality and obviously make my 1200mk2's look even more fantastic. Hope not to have to buy them again but if I do, it'll be from Mix Foundation. 10/10 🤙🕺
Mike was extremely pleasant to deal with and cordial. Went out of his way to help me with a small and finickity order buying some chroma caps, which indicate to me that the Mix Foundation don't see customers as ATMs but as people. Also they care about what the customer needs and are prepared to put time into finding out, so I would trust them to give honest advice to help people fulfill their djing needs. I would certainly recommend this company!
Value for money is right up there. If you want the fuss-free convenience of a single piece of kit, put this on your list. The dynamics are right in the pocket and not overbearing or woolly at all. Runs my old Tannoy Mercurys beautifully, and the REL sub is almost superfluous.
Very pleasant and knowledgeable people to deal with. Will help out all customers, I was just buying some chroma caps, and Mike was an extremely helpful and pleasant person with this slightly fiddly request. You know if they help their small customers they are genuine people, so they have earned my trust and I would certainly shop with them for a bigger purchase. Thanks bro!
Great service, Super fast delivery, awesome decks. Well happy with my purchase. Thank you.
Order,Delivery, packaging and Product is 100% Quality. Keep it up. Highly recommended. Technics sound really good.
Excellent comfort and sound for the price.
Just picked up the HDJ-F10 wireless headphones and I’m seriously impressed. Sound is crisp with deep bass, and the ultra-low latency wireless is perfect for DJing. Build quality feels solid and they’re super comfortable for long sessions. Totally worth it!
Awesome thank you!
Talked to the staff via phone who advised me on a cheaper and a better suited cover to the SL1200. Really happy with choice of product and (for my needs) a better alternative cover than what I originally was going to order. Great service! However the 2 covers were stacked when packaged and took 20 minutes of separating and stress of breaking. Just a thought for packers when sending. However 5 star product and phone service!
