REAC - The Audio Quality Sta

Unlike analog multicore snake cables, RSS Digital Snake systems are 

equipped with high quality and remote-controllable mic pre-amps. The 

pre-amps of RSS Digital Snake systems have been specially designed 

for live audio applications and is made of high quality components 

carefully selected by Roland's engineers.

Use Multiple S-1608/0816 Digital Snake System to create multiple 

stage configurations such as Left, Right and Center stage unit 

positions. Simply run Cat5e cables to FOH units in Front of House 

position for easy cable management.

REAC Technology

The REAC (Roland Ethernet Audio Communication) protocol is an 

industry proven, low latency, high quality 24bit/96kHz audio transfer 

protocol used by the S-1608 and S-0816. The REAC protocol allows 

the Digital Snake signal to be ìsplitî to as many positions as required 

such as monitor, broadcast and recording locations using S-4000-SP 

REAC Splitter or any standard gigabit Ethernet switch.

The S-1608/0816 Digital 

Snake System can be 

used easily expand the 

channel count of the 

S-4000 32x8 Digital 

Snake System to 48x16 

or more. Mix and match 

S-4000 and S-1608/0816 

Digital Snake systems for 

customizable rental and 

installation systems.

High Resolution Sound Quality 

By having high quality mic-pres on stage, the sound is amplified and 

converted at the closest point to the sound source, providing the best 

possible quality audio. By using Cat5e cable instead of large multi-core 

copper cable, the S-1608/0816 digital snake system is immune to the 

ìhums and buzzesî caused by electrical noise and ground issues.
