Roland Systems Group announced a new firmware update for their S-4000 Series digital snake systems that lets the S-4000H 8×32 digital snake head support samples rates of 48 and 44.1 kHz, in addition to 96kHz. This enables the unit to be used in V-Mixing System configurations, and as an analog breakout box.
The update also provides control of pre-amps of the S-4000S set in REAC Master mode using the S-4000R or S-4000 Remote Control Software (PC/Mac) without the need for slave equipment or the M-48 personal mixers present. This expands the potential uses of the digital snake head, such as a 40 input front end to a SONAR REAC Recording system – all connected to a PC via a Cat5e/6 cable.
The S-4000 Series Digital Snake was the first digital snake system using the REAC protocol – a low latency high quality digital transport system. The S-4000 Series is a 40×40 channel digital audio transmission system featuring remote controllable microphone preamps and configurable inputs and outputs. The S-4000 Digital Snake System Version 2.500 firmware update will be available mid-February.
