Next Generation Remote Controlled Digital Snake Building on the technology, experience and ingenuity of Roland Corporation, RSS by Roland is leading the evolution of professional and commercial audio products that can be easily integrated into specific applications. Roland Systems Group U.S. supplies the commercial and performance audio/video industries with application-specific equipment from the RSS and EDIROL video product lines. These products lines address applications for houses of worship, clubs/casinos, theaters/performing arts centers and rental and staging venues. The RSS S-4000 System digital snake solves two age-old problems of live sound and fixed installations at once: it allows you to transfer 40 channels of high-quality audio over an extremely long distance on a single lightweight cable. That means that with an S-4000 System, you don't have signal degradation issues over long cable runs and cable pull-through in fixed installations is a snap. As an added bonus, you can easily expand your setup with the Modular design for flexible configuration options of the RSS S-4000 System. RSS S-4000 System 32 x 8 at a Glance: 40 channels of 24bit 96 kHz audio over one Cat5e cable, 80 channels over two Cat5e cables. Unlimited, lossless input splits using standard, inexpensive Ethernet hardware. New, precision designed VM-50 preamps with superb headroom and audio characteristics. Remote control for the smooth, zipper-free control of preamp gain, individual phantom power, and -20db pad. Forty 24-bit/96kHz channels over Cat5e Cable The S-4000 System brings the digital revolution to the world of audio snakes. Using computer-networking technology, the system allows you to transfer 40 channels of high-quality audio over an extremely long distance on a single lightweight Cat5e cable, or 80 channels over two Cat5e cables. The digital advantage also brings with it easy installation, low cost, portability, and pain-free expansion. Unlimited, Lossless Input Splits via Ethernet The fundamental benefit of the digital snake is that it eliminates long analog audio signal transfers and the signal degradation and noise interference that always comes along with them. This is accomplished by converting audio signals to digital data near the source, allowing them to be transferred hundreds of feet with absolutely no loss in sound quality. Additionally, since the multiple signals are transferred over a single lightweight cable, the enormous bulk of the analog snake's multichannel cable is also eliminated. Remote Contolled Preamps Each input on the SI-AD4 modules employ a newly-developed XR-1 variable gain preamp. Designed for warm and accurate sound reproduction, the XR-1 accepts input signal levels from -65 to +10dBu. Additionally, it provides an enormous amount of headroom before distortion-an incredible +28 dBu maximum input level. Each preamp's gain is controlled remotely from the S-4000R or S-4000 RCS, allowing you to optimize signal levels right at the connection interface. If you're connecting the S-4000 System to an analog mixing console, you may be wondering why you need adjustable gain at the S-4000S's inputs. After all, you have gain adjustment at the console inputs, right? Well, there are a few very good reasons to adjust the signal level at the S-4000S inputs: By adjusting the input gain so close to the source, the analog signal travels through less analog cabling before the signal level is optimized. Shorter analog cabling means less possibility of noise and signal deterioration. Better digital signal quality - A/D converters take snapshots of the analog audio during the digital conversion process. By optimizing the signal level before the A/D converter, a much higher resolution snapshot can be taken-and higher resolution means better signal quality. Memory presets add digital mixer features to the analog mixer - One of the big advantages of a digital mixer is the ability to store and recall frequently used setups. By taking advantage of the 10 memory presets in the S-4000R-or 100 presets using the S-4000 RCS-you can bring some digital functionality to your analog mixer. S-4000R Remote Controller The S-4000R functions as a remote controller for the S-4000 System. It can be connected to either the S-4000S or S-4000H unit, whichever is most convenient for you. The S-4000R provides control over the S-4000S's input channels. This includes preamp gain adjustment, phantom power and pad on/off status, and channel linking. An eight-segment LED meter allows for precise preamp gain adjustment of the S-4000S's input channels. Additionally, the meter can be used to view signal levels from the S-4000H's audio inputs. The S-4000R also provides signal status indicators for all of the S-4000 System's 40 input channels and channel clip indicators for all of the S-4000 System's 40 input channels. Ten memory presets allow you to store and recall frequently used S-4000S input channel setups, plus, all functions that can be controlled from the S-4000R can also be controlled from a personal computer equipped with an RS-232C port(s), and running the S-4000 Remote Control Software (S-4000 RCS). Up to four S-4000 Systems can be controlled at once. RSS S-4000 System 32 x 8 Features: 40 channels of 24bit 96 kHz audio over one Cat5e cable, 80 channels over two Cat5e cables. Unlimited, lossless input splits using standard, inexpensive Ethernet hardware. New, precision designed VM-50 preamps with superb headroom and audio characteristics. Remote control for the smooth, zipper-free control of preamp gain, individual phantom power, and -20db pad. Free Mac/PC software for additional control via RS-232. Preset memories of preamp settings for fast setup and stage changes. Redundant power supply option for complete system reliability. Very low protocol latency @ 375 microseconds (that's .0375 seconds!) Total System latency typically 1 millisecond. Modular design for flexible configuration options and future expandability. Adjust preamps from stage, FOH or computer for professional system control. Splits are almost free using standard Ethernet hardware; no need for expensive and heavy analog mic splitters. Highest possible audio quality and intelligibility with mic preamps positioned on the stage, next to your microphones. Mic/Line level design eliminates need for direct boxes; instrument outputs can plug directly into the snake. Much lower installation costs. Small cable instead of large copper multi-core wiring. Easier to route physical cable due to immunity to ground loops, induced hums, buzzes and analog interference. Light weight and low cost make it easy to run cable around obstacles or via best possible route. Easy to pull through conduit if necessary. Easy and inexpensive to plan for future expansion by just adding a few inexpensive Cat5e cables during initial installation. Single cable termination point rather than separate terminations for each channel as with traditional analog snake systems. Easy to configure and expand due to modular system design. Presets for fast system configuration; If a user adjusts the preamps settings improperly, it's easy to return to a default setting using a preset. Light-weight packaging makes for a very mobile, portable system. Suitable for critical applications and use of in-ear monitors thanks to low system latency.
