Unprecedented PersonalizationThe M-48 enables control of up to 40 audio channels via 16 stereo groups. No longer do you have to share the same sources and in the same order as everyone else. Each musician can choose what he or she wants to listen to - a truly personal mix.

Professional Sound Control and QualitySweeten your monitor mix to your exact preferences with volume, pan, 3-band EQ and built-in reverb per group ?all instantly adjustable by convenient encoder knobs. A limiter is incorporated for protecting your ears from sudden and dangerous volume spikes. Based on REAC, the all-digital connection results in a low noise floor, improved musicality and crystal clear sound.

Unparalleled UsabilityThe LED indicators on the control knobs enable instant adjustment and visual confirmation at a glance, even on a dark stage. The built-in ambient mic aids in communicating with other musicians without have to remove your ear-buds or headphones as well as enabling a stage/room feel if desired. The AUX Input allows a metronome or other device to be mixed into the primary sound.

Convenient ConnectivityOur newly developed “REAC Embedded Power” (via the S-4000D) transfers both power and 40 channels of audio to the M-48 via a single CAT5e cable ?dramatically simplifying wiring and stage layouts. Mini jack and 1/4 inch phone jack headphone outputs are provided. Balanced TRS line outputs support wedge or other types of powered monitors. An independent stereo output mini jack enables recording with superb sound quality.

S-4000D - The REAC Splitter Equipped with Embedded Power“REAC Embedded Power” is unique Roland technology that enables the transfer of not only the digital audio signal but also the power required by the connected device - all via one CAT5e cable. The S-4000D Splitter and Power Distributor is equipped with 10 REAC ports including 8 ports of REAC Embedded Power. The S-4000D can automatically detect and distinguish a product not supporting REAC Embedded Power. In this case, power is not provided allowing the S-4000D to also function as a standard splitter when required. The S-4000D is required to use the M-48s.

Part of The V-Mixing System TotalIntegrated SolutionREAC (Roland Ethernet Audio Communication) technology is the cornerstone of the V-Mixing System. REAC is Roland’s original technology for low latency, high quality digital audio transfer. REAC is an Ethernet based technology that enables multiple components to be easily integrated using lightweight Cat5e/6 cable. With just a single inexpensive cable, 40 input x 40 output channels of 24-bit uncompressed audio data (including level and control information) are transferred.

Digital SnakesEnjoy superior clear sound, great intelligibility with minimal latency and the freedom to split or extend your audio sources anywhere.

BridgingThe S-MADI REAC Bridge enables connectivity b e t w e e n M A D I - e q u i p p e d d i g i t a l a u d i o mixers/systems to any REAC-based devices.

Personal MixersThe M-48 is the “next generation” l i ve persona l mixer that of fe rs musicians the f lexibly to control exactly what they want to listen to during their performances.

REAC DriverThe REAC driver enables users to capture up to 40 audio channels from a Digital Snake or V-Mixing System directly into most ASIO-based DAWs via Cat5e/6 cable.

RecordingMult i-channel recording and playback, including virtual rehearsal is accomplished with reliability and stability using the dedicated R-1000 48-Track Recorder/Player.
