Multi Channel Digital Audio Transfer System. The new generation of audio transmission.
The S-4000S is a modular digital snake system delivering up to 160 channels of high quality 24-bit/96kHz audio over Cat5e cables. System highlights include remote controllable XR-1 professional quality mic preamps, redundant ethernet ports and splits using standard Ethernet hardware. Join the Revolution from Analog to Digital Snakes and make the change from analog multi-pair cable to the next generation: a Digital Snake. Digital Technology offers lightweight, easy to install, and superb quality audio. This is the new generation of audio transmission made possible using Roland’s original “REAC” Ethernet audio technology and the S-4000 Digital Snake.
Improve your audio with the superior clarity and intelligibility of an S-4000 system
Audio from a microphone is very low-level audio. By placing your mic preamps right next to your sources, and converting your audio to digital right on the stage, your sound quality, clarity and intelligibility are all greatly improved.
Very low cost and flexible installation using Cat5e Ethernet cable
Ethernet cabling is very low cost as well as very slim and lightweight. Splitting your audio is very easy with the S-4000 system. Cable runs can also be extended from the 100-meter standard Ethernet spec using these same hubs. Installation cost and time can be drastically reduced compared with installations using Analog multi-pair.
Cabling and Power Supply Redundancy provides a secure audio transmission system
The S-4000 is designed to be a trouble free system, and is equipped with various mechanisms for safety and redundancy. Heavy duty Neutrik connectors are provided for the Main and Backup cables on all chassis. Furthermore, redundant Main + Backup cable connections are standard, providing security and the automatic continuation of audio transfer even in case one of the cables is accidentally damaged. The S-4000H provides heavy-duty strain relief rails. All power switches and cables have security covers to prevent accidentally unplugging or turning off the power. Both the S-4000S and S-4000H can use the optional S-240P redundant backup power supply. In fact, system reliability and redundancy has been at the heart of all of the S-4000′s design criteria.
