Multi-Channel Digital Audio Transfer Systems
Multi-Channel Digital Audio Transfer Systems The superior quality and reliability of RSS Digital Snakes is made possible by coupling high quality preamps with Roland’s REAC digital transmission technology. RSS Digital Snake systems are immune to the hums, buzzes and general impedance and capacitive losses that plague analog snakes.
Roland’s original Ethernet technology •REAC, based on the Ethernet 100BASE-TX protocol, transfers signals using Cat5e cable. •Durable and reliable connector made by Neutrik •Up to 40 channels of 24bit/96kHz audio plus MIDI and remote control data can be transferred in one cable. REAC (Roland Ethernet Audio Communication) is newly designed technology for digital audio transfer by Roland.
S-4000 Digital Snake System Input Channel Indicator This indicates Signal, Clip and On/Off status of the phantom power for each input channel. The status of the input channels can be checked even from the stage. Analog Input Modules On board 24bit/96kHz AD converters and high quality mic pre-amps with phantom power supply. Analog Output Modules On board 24bit/96kHz DA converters.
REAC terminals MIDI terminals (In/Out) Input terminal 8 channels of analog input with D-Sub connection. S-4000H 8x32 FOH Unit Level meter displays the input levels of up tp 40 channels Output terminals 32 channels of analog output with D-Sub connection. 8 channels per one D-sub. REMOTE terminal (RS-232C) Mute All Outputs button Cable strain relief rail Protective rail used to relieve cable strain and to prevent accidental unplugging of the D-sub cables.
S-1608 Digital Snake System Analog Output Terminals On board 24bit/96kHz DA converters. Analog Input Terminals On board 24bit/96kHz AD converters and high quality mic pre-amps with phantom power supply. Pre-Amp Remote Control with the S-4000R. See page 5. S-1608 Stage Unit The S-1608 and S-0816 Digital Snake are compact versions of the popular S-4000S Digital Snake system.
Remote Terminal (RS-232C) Digital Output (Optical) Mute All Output Button Connector for either the dedicated remote controller (S-4000R) or computer installed with S-4000-RCS remote control software. Output the audio signal input to INPUT 1/2 of the S-1608/ 0816 for monitoring sync. When this button is pressed and held, all outputs in the system will be muted. Mode Selection Switch Master Slave Split Outputs source audio to the Slave and Split devices It receives Input from the Slave device.

“The fact that there is no noise when I turn the snake on is a vast improvement over previous years. No hums, buzzes or clicks, which means one less place to look when I am trouble shooting,” Jon Laterza, Freelance Audio Engineer, Lincoln Center Out of Doors Festival, NY “The sonic quality and clarity of the digital snake is awesome, I feel and hear the dynamics of the sound clearer than any analog snake. Plus it’s extremely easy to move for touring.
