Easy connectivity with external devices enhances and extends the
performance of the M-400 V-Mixing System. The V-Mixing System
provides a total mixing and recording solution.
Employing visual entertainment at concerts or musical events is now
very common. Roland provides an integrated, Audio & Visual solution.
Connecting the M-400 with an Edirol V-440HD Multi-format Video Mixer
using V-LINK provides an automatic Audio Follow Video mix.
V-Mixing System’s great flexibility provides solutions for almost any kind
of system integration. The Cat5e cabling makes the system easy to
install for retrofits or portable live sound systems.
External Insert Effects
The M-400 Console can be used to host
additional inputs such as wireless mic
modules or video decks or even additional
phantom-powered microphones. Using the
system’s External Insert paths, they can
also serve as paths to external processors
from channels or buses.
Even more console inputs
The console also hosts an RCA stereo pair
for direct connection of a CD player, DVD
player or VCR. Along with the onboard USB
Memory recording, they provide additional
means of playing back pre-show audio,
sound effects or video/DVD audio.
Record and Playback audio
to/from USB memory drive
The M-400’s USB Memory Recorder
facilitates the playback of linear audio files
using standard USB memory drives. It can
also be used to record high quality stereo
mixes of the live event. The USB drive is
also used for saving/loading console user
setup data, setting up unique User
Passwords and for system updates.
Direct Connection with PC for
multi-track recording
The M-400’s REAC Split port enables direct
connection with a PC's gigabit Ethernet port
using only a Cat5e cable. This allows multi-
track recording of up to 40 channels using
Cakewalk’s SONAR software without the
need for any external audio interfaces.
Remote control and offline
setup using a PC
The M-400’s second USB port provides
direct PC connection for remote control
and saving/loading presets from a PC.
When a PC is on a wireless local network
and connected to the M-400 a wireless
tablet PC or other computer could be used
on stage or in the house for any real time
mixing or setup functions
(using Microsoft’s Remote Desktop function).

Broadcast Setup
Here's another example of the advantages of REAC's easy to make digital signal splits. Using an M-400 for mixing and a split to an S-0816
Digital Snake provides a connection to an analog console in a broadcast suite.
Recording Setup
Using the REAC Split port, a direct Cat5e connection can be made to a PC's Gigabit Ethernet port. Using Cakewalk's Sonar software up to
40 channels of audio can be recorded.
*This function can be used on Standard System or Basic System.
Split Setup
The V-Mixing system's REAC protocol makes it easy to split the source audio signals. These splits can be used to connect to another M-400
acting as a monitor console, or output for analog monitoring or recording requirements.
