S-1608

The S-1608 and S-0816 Digital Snake are compact versions of the popular S-4000 Digital Snake system.
Easy to use and quick to install, the S-1608/0816 Digital Snake system is a small format audio snake
solution that offers the highest quality audio signal available in a portable snake system.

The snake comes with high quality pre-amp

Unlike analog multicore snake cables, RSS Digital Snake systems are

equipped with high quality and remote-controllable mic pre-amps. The

pre-amps of RSS Digital Snake systems have been specially designed

for live audio applications and is made of high quality components

carefully selected by Roland's engineers.

REAC Technology

The REAC (Roland Ethernet Audio Communication) protocol is an

industry proven, low latency, high quality 24bit/96kHz audio transfer

protocol used by the S-1608 and S-0816. The REAC protocol allows

the Digital Snake signal to be ìsplitî to as many positions as required

such as monitor, broadcast and recording locations using S-4000-SP

REAC Splitter or any standard gigabit Ethernet switch.

High Resolution Sound Quality

By having high quality mic-pres on stage, the sound is amplified and

converted at the closest point to the sound source, providing the best

possible quality audio. By using Cat5e cable instead of large multi-core

copper cable, the S-1608/0816 digital snake system is immune to the

ìhums and buzzesî caused by electrical noise and ground issues.

Analog Input Terminals

On board 24bit/96kHz AD
