Roland Systems Group, a member of the worldwide group of Roland companies, is dedicated to the support of audio and video professionals demanding excellence in both
performance and system design. Through the development and support of video and audio products, we endeavor to improve workfl ow and maximize creative possibilities.
Using V-LINK, musicians can “play” video from their electronic instrument when used with video products. With V-LINK, musicians have a powerful interface for realtime audio
and video integration.
Ensuring high quality while protecting the environment: Roland is ISO9001 and ISO14001 certifi ed
At Roland, several group companies have obtained ISO9001 certifi cation. In addition, in January 1999, Roland also received ISO14001 international environmental management system certifi cation.
We’re actively seeking ways to maintain harmony with the environment. (ISO=International Standardization Organization: an organization for the promotion of standardization of international units and
terms. They provide different categories of certifi cation: ISO9001 Series certifi cation is a product quality certifi cation for products that undergo a certain level of quality control from the design stage to
the after service stage; ISO14001 Series certifi cation is for environment-related standards. Each member of the Roland Group is striving to obtain certifi cation.)
