Roland Systems Group will present its popular V-Mixing System, incorporating the M-400 digital mixing console and configurable Digital Snakes with high-quality remotely-controlled mic preamps, and a multi-track recording option (SONAR REAC Recording System).

NEW software is being shown for the first time; the M-400 V-Mixer's Version 1.5 update is packed with a number of significant features that enhance the user interface, offering operational shortcuts and speeding up workflow.

Features include:

* Increased flexibility in Compressor and Gate assignment
* Addition of 8 Matrices
* Direct Channel Output Assignment for increased flexibility when using personal mixing systems and recording splits
* Tap Tempo for delay settings
* Addition of numerous shortcuts for faster access and rapid setup
* Numerous user interface enhancements for accelerated workflow and ease of use

Peter Heath of RSG comments, "the V-Mixing System was launched in December 2007, and very quickly we have developed a significant user base from which to draw the early feedback. The user interface is already being praised for its transparency and ease-of-use; however, this update delivers improvements which further increase operational flexibility and speed."

The Version 1.5 update is free, and can be downloaded from www.v-mixingsystem.com.

The RSS V-Mixing System incorporates the RSS M-400 Live Digital Console, configurable digital snakes with high-quality remotely-controlled mic preamps, and a multi-track recording option (SONAR REAC Recording System). This fully digital system eliminates the bulk and noise susceptibility typically associated with analogue snakes and replaces it all with Cat5e (Ethernet/LAN) cable or fibre.

The system generates superior sound quality by converting analogue inputs to 24-bit digital streams at the stage via high-quality mic preamps located near the source. The V-Mixing System then secures the quality of audio signal throughout the complete system path en route to the M-400 V-Mixer Console, back to any outputs and on to the limitless splits positions.

The V-Mixer console integrates with PCs for remote control as well as sending/receiving setup data allowing users to prepare channel setups and configurations before arriving at the venue.

The SONAR REAC Recording System enables recording of up to 40 channels of multi-track audio from the split port on the M-400 V-Mixer or additional split location. REAC is a powerful driver protocol that allows the transfer of up to 40 channels of 24-bit audio plus MIDI and remote-control data down one Cat5e or fibre cable. Connecting a cable from the REAC split port on the M-400 to the gigabit network port on a PC will deliver 40 channels of clean, pure 24-bit audio transfer.
