Allen & Heath ME-U 10-Port Monitor Hub

The Allen & Heath ME-U 10-Port Monitor Hub is a professional touring-grade personal monitoring solution designed to power and connect multiple ME-1 and ME-500 mixers through a single centralized unit.

Designed for touring and installation use, the ME-U supports daisy chaining of multiple units, allowing expansion up to 19 ME-1 mixers when using two hubs. Each port provides PoE power delivery, ensuring simplified wiring and consistent performance across all connected devices. A dedicated network port allows browser-based setup for IP configuration, channel naming, and system management, with support for automatic name and link retrieval from compatible iLive systems.

With its 2U rack-mountable rugged construction, quiet cooling system, and road-ready build quality, the Allen & Heath ME-U delivers a dependable, scalable, and flexible monitoring hub solution for professional live sound, studio, and touring applications.
