The cornerstone of the V-Mixing System starts with your choice of V-Mixer Live Digital Mixing Console. These are powerful units providing 32-48 channels of mixing, Main L/R/C outputs, 8-16 AUX buses, and 4-8 matrices. The design features digital effects processors, on-board recording via USB memory drive and instant recall with motorized faders all with easy and intuitive operation. Learn more >

Digital snakes couple high quality preamps with REAC technology enabling source signals to maintain pristine sound through the entire V-Mixing System. Roland Digital Snakes are immune to hums, buzzes and general impedance and capacitive losses that plague analog snakes and systems. Enjoy superior clear sound, great intelligibility with minimum latency and the freedom to split or extend your audio sources anywhere. Learn more >

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. It provides the highest level of sound monitoring quality for both headphones and IEMs (In-Ear Monitors) as well as for wedge and powered monitors. The superb sound quality creates the ideal monitoring environment for live performance and recording as well as studio applications. Learn more >

Multi-channel recording and playback is accomplished with reliability and stability using the dedicated R-1000 48-Track Recorder/Player. Alternatively, Cakewalk’s SONAR, when used with the ground-breaking REAC driver, provides the most comprehensive blend of live multi-channel recording with post-production functions such as mixing, mastering and delivery. Capture up to 40 channels of audio using a Cat5e/6 cable connected to the network port on a PC.Learn more >

The backbone of the V-Mixing System is based on REAC – Roland’s Ethernet Audio Communication transmission protocol for low latency, high quality digital audio transfer. Products using REAC technology are installed today in many venues and have been used for high profile events worldwide. REAC’s 24-bit, 40x40 channel protocol delivers pristine digital audio via lightweight, inexpensive and easy to install cable (Cat5e). REAC technology is immune to externally induced signal quality degradation or hums and buzzes typically found in analog systems. You have more freedom in cable placement resulting in lower cost and better sounding. Learn more about the power and benefits of REAC >
