Roland M-1000 User Manual

A New Type of Mixer for Today's Digital World.

The M-1000 10-channel Digital Line Mixer is a 1U rackmount mixer designed to mix digital signals of varying sample rates. The M-1000
comes with four stereo S/PDIF digital inputs and a stereo analog input—all with 24-bit/96kHz sound quality—making it perfect
for mixing electronic musical instruments and recording gear equipped with digital outputs. The M-1000 can even mix audio from
a PC via its USB port. Word Clock is also provided, and multiple units can be linked for greater mixing power.

Example Setup

Mix Multiple Digital Sources with Professional Quality!

Today's synthesizers, sound modules and recording gear
often feature digital outputs, but musicians have never had a
way to mix all these sources at once. That's where the M-1000
comes in. This 1U rackmount mixer can mix up to four stereo
digital signals of varying sample rates—along with a stereo
analog input and digital audio from a PC—with professional
24-bit/96kHz sound quality.

Take a look at the back panel, and you'll find four S/PDIF
digital inputs and a stereo analog input with high-quality A/D
converters. That's a total of 10 input channels that can be
mixed—regardless of sample rate—using the front-panel
knobs. The result can be output via coaxial and optical digital
outputs or the M-1000's analog Master and Monitor outputs.

USB Port for PC-Based Recording

The M-1000 even lets you integrate your USB-equipped PC
into the mix. Using a USB cable, you can route digital signals
from a computer into the M-1000, where they can be mixed
with other input channels. The results can then be sent back
out to the computer for recording. The M-1000 supports
sample rates up to 96kHz—even via USB*—so there's never
been a better or easier solution for computer-based recording.

Flexible Sync Options and Expandable Design

With its Word Clock input and output, the M-1000 can be
easily integrated into professional studios. The clock source
itself is selectable among Internal, Word Clock, Digital In and
USB* for maximum flexibility. And with its pro-quality
specs—including pristine 24-bit/96kHz AD/DA converters and
56-bit internal processing—the M-1000 can be used in a range
of applications from home studio setups to world-class
recording and editing suites. Best of all, multiple M-1000s can
be cascaded for situations when additional inputs are
required.

*At 96kHz, it is not possible to send audio in and out simultaneously via USB.
