Superb Quality, Simple Setup, Flexibility.
The next generation audio transfer technology – REAC.

REAC (Roland Ethernet Audio Communication) is Roland’s original technology. REAC transfers 40x40 of
24-bit uncompressed multi channel audio, level information, and control data over a single cat5e cable. This
digital transfer system eliminates the typical problems found in analog transfer such as signal quality degra­dation or hums and buzzes. REAC provides not only superb sound quality but also is easy to install and cost
effective using light-weight Cat5e cable.

REAC product line allows system flexibility and expandability

The REAC products are among the best in the industry on their own but they are designed to work even
better as par t of a system, commu nicating with e ach oth er via REAC. Thi s system c onnection approac h
brings superior sound quality, is easy to learn, easy to use and brings all the powerful benefits of a digital
solution.

Ensuring high quality while protecting the environment: Roland is ISO9001 and ISO14001 certified

At Roland, several group companies have obtained ISO9001 certification. In addition, in January 1999, Roland also received ISO14001 international environmental management system certification. We’re actively seeking ways to

maintain harmony with the environment. (ISO=International Standardization Organization: an organization for the promotion of standard ization of i nternat ional un its and ter ms. They p rovide di ffere nt catego ries of ce rtifi cation:

ISO9001 Series certification is a product quality certification for products that undergo a certain level of quality control from the design stage to the after service stage; ISO14001 Series certification is for environment-related

standa rds. Each m ember of th e Roland Group is str iving to obtain cer tification.)

Compact and Light-weight

The S-0808 weighs around 3kg (6.6lbs) enabling easy setup. Rugged construction
with steel handles withstands the rigors of live and frequent use. Fan-less
design enables quiet operation in any environment.

Superb Quality, Fully Discreet Preamp

All inputs employ a high quality preamp with fully discreet circuit design

resulting in outstanding sound. Eliminate the need for direct boxes by using the

TRS or Hi-Z inputs. Control input gain (-65 to +10dBu), Pad and Phantom

Power via a dedicated S-4000R Remote Controller or using the PC Remote

Control Software (S-4000RCS). When using as part of a V-Mixing System,

the se parameters are controlled directly from the M-400 or M-380 V-Mixer.

Power Options

The S-0808 supports unique types of power

supply - REAC Embedded Power, and External
Batter y Options. Choose the type of power conducive
to you location and application. Having not to rely
on AC power opens up a world of convenience
and flexibility. V-Mount (IDX) and Gold Mount
(Anton Bauer) battery systems and mounts are
supported using the included adapter plate.

Simple system setup using a pair of S-0808s. The S-4000M in a Broad­cast Truck (OB Van) provides power to the remote location. Control the
remote inputs using the S-4000R.

This system allows I/O to be place in 4 separate locations using S-0808s.
The signals from the 4 units are merged by the S-4000M as it travels to the
S-4000H breakout location. Power to each of the S-0808s is supplied by
the embedded power over REAC in the S-4000M.

Small concer t/event configuration using two battery-powered I/O units
enable convenience in placing the talent where AC power is not necessarily
available. Mix using your choice of V-Mixer.
