Roland OHRCA M-5000 live console supports Dante audio network

Roland will launch in 2015 a new mixing console for live that will be compatible with the Audinate Dante audio network.

Called M-5000, this new digital console with USB connection is based on the Roland proprietary OHRCA architecture (Open High Resolution and Configurable Architecture), which allows for a free setup of the audio signals (mixing, aux, matrix, sub-groups, Mix-Minus bus, etc. up to 128 channels). This technology also offers a flexible user interface and workflow, with a touchscreen and iPad/Mac and PC remote control, protocole expansion via optional cards, including Dante, or a a choice of multiformat I/O.
