The Roland M-480 V-Mixer 48 Channel Live Digital Mixing Console is the first V-Mixer to support a cascade connection that enables 96 channels of mixing by connecting a second unit - all via one simple Cat5e/6 cable.

Description

The Roland M-480 V-Mixer is a live mixing console that boasts a powerful mixing engine, providing a premium console choice. But the M-480 is more than a console; it is the heart of a V-Mixing System with perfectly integrated Digital Snakes, Personal Mixing and Multi-Channel Recording solutions.

With superb sound quality, powerful functions, expandability and intuitive operation, the V-Mixing System continues to introduce new possibilities to the world of live mixing.

The M-480 is the first V-Mixer to support a cascade connection that enables 96 channels of mixing by connecting a second unit.

Supporting live events, mobile production, broadcasting, and sound installation the V-Mixing System with the V-Mixer at its heart provides the next level of innovation for any live mixing venue.

The M-480 provides a 4-band fully parametric EQ, gate, compressor, and delay on each input channel.185 possible patch points with 90 discreet outputs. Its user interface is designed to be easy to learn and easy to use. Combining the cursor buttons around the value dial provides optimized and efficient operation.

The M-480 is also equipped with delays on all mixing channels and outputs buses. High quality and precise sound adjustments can be accomplished by using the built-in real time analyzer. The M-480 supports a cascade connection requested by many live sound engineers. Connecting two M-480s with one REAC cable enables the mixing of up to 96 channels as well as advanced synchronization of internal busses. A mixing environment equivalent to a large format console can be created within a minimal footprint and budget.
