Inspired by high levels of interest in the M-48 personal mixer system from manufacturers and users of large-format consoles, notably the team at DiGiCo, engineers at Roland have designed a bi-directional signal converter between MADI and REAC, (Roland Ethernet Audio Communication), the proprietary protocol developed by Roland to meet the market's need for a point-to-point 24 bit/ 96kHz, low latency digital audio transport.
The S-MADI REAC Bridge enables connectivity between any MADI-equipped digital audio mixer/system and any of Roland's REAC products, enabling the use of the award-winning V-Mixing Consoles as sub-mixers with many large-format digital mixing consoles. It also facilitates easy distribution and splitting of audio from V-Mixing Systems or Digital Snake systems to outside broadcast trucks and other MADI-equipped locations.
