Enable new Digital Snake possibilities by merging up to four REAC devices. The S-4000M REAC Merge Unit allows up to four Digital Snake heads to be merged into a REAC stream where the master device recognizes it as single REAC slave unit. This important technology enables distribution of multiple input/output units around a location, venue or stage for flexible point-to-point digital snake or V-Mixing System configurations.
2. Merge up to four REAC devices together
The S-4000M merges up to four Digital Snake heads, such as the S-0808, S-1608 and S-4000, and merges the input/ouput to a single REAC signal. Ports 1 to
4 supply REAC embedded power to compatible product such a s the S-0808. The intelligent Auto Map function assigns input channels automatically. REAC
master devices recognize the S-4000M as a single REAC slave unit even when multiple digital snake heads are connected.
3. Distribute outputs to multiple devices
The S-4000M also serves as a distributor of outputs and/or splitter. Any inputs returning from Port 1 (Master) are distributed to the outputs depending on
the devices connected. When S-0808 sare connected, specific output assignments can be set.
4. Configure Routing from a PC or V-Mixer.
The M-400 / M-380 V-Mixer or dedicated PC Remote Control Software (S-4000RCS) configures routing, input gain, PAD and phantom power.

This system allows I/O to be place in 4 separate locations using S-0808s. The signals from the 4 units are merged by the S-4000M as it travels to the S-4000H
breakout location. Power to each of the S-0808s is supplied by the embedded power over REAC in the S-4000M.

System Total
Integrated Solution
REAC (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 Snakes
Enjoy superior clear sound, great intelligibility with
minimal latency and the freedom to split or extend
your audio sources anywhere.
Bridging
The 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 Mixers
The M-48 is the “next generation”
live personal mixer that offers
musicians the flexibly to control
exactly what they want to listen to
during their performances.
REAC Driver
The 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.
Recording
Multi-channel recording and playback,
including virtual rehearsal is accomplished
with reliability and stability using the dedicated
R-1000 48-Track Recorder/Player.
