New Roland Mixing and Monitoring System

The M-48 offers control over 40 audio sources that can be managed in 16 assignable stereo groups. The playing experience is enhanced with level/pan/solo/3-band EQ on each group, high quality built-in reverb for a more appealing sound, ambient mic for better communication with band members as well as physical inputs and outputs for multiple headphones, wedges and powered monitors, interfacing with iPods, metronomes and external recording devices, according to Roland Systems Group.

Roland’s Ethernet Audio Communication (REAC) Cat5e protocol is featued, designed for eliminating the need for wall wart power at each M-48. Power is supplied via the RSS S-4000D Splitter and Power Distributor, which can provide the digital audio stream and power to up to eight M-48s. Multiple S-4000D can be used in a configuration.

The M-48 Live Personal Mixer can be integrated with other digital or analog consoles using a choice of RSS Digital Snakes and included PC software for setup and control.
