The M-300 Mixing Console provides a third console choice in the growing V-Mixing System line-up that also consists of Digital Snakes, Personal Mixing and Multi-Channel Recording. Its size and affordability allows smaller to mid-sized venues to replace their analogue consoles with a digital mixing solution. The M-300 Live Mixing Console can be rack-mounted, and is ideal for any event production, houses of worship, education, government and corporate applications.

The M-300 V-Mixer features rapid recall of setups, 17 - 100mm motorised faders, an 800 x 480 colour screen, and knobs for EQ, Pan, and Gain. The M-300 has 32 mixing channels and includes digital patch-bays, built-in effects processors including comprehensive output delays, eight Auxs, four Matrices, four DCAs, four Mute Groups, built-in stereo recording/playback and support for LCR configurations.

This fully digital system is built on REAC (Roland Ethernet Audio Communication) and eliminates the bulk and noise susceptibility typically associated with analogue snakes and replaces it with cat5e (Ethernet/LAN) cable. It is easy to use and sets up in minutes by plugging in one lightweight cat5e cable from a choice of Digital Snake stage units (allowing the user to select from up to 160 inputs using REAC Merge technology) making it ideal for portable applications and corporate events.

The system generates superior sound quality by converting analogue inputs to 24-bit digital streams at the stage end via high-quality mic preamps located near the source. The V-Mixing System then secures the quality of audio signal throughout the complete system path en route to the M-300 V-Mixer, back to any outputs and on to limitless split positions.

The 40-channel assignable output split can be used with the powerful M-48 Personal Mixing System and the Multi-Channel Recording options from Cakewalk. For existing M-400 or M-380 owners, the M-300 is ideal of an addition monitor or broadcast/record position.

The intuitive interface applauded in the M-400 has been retained in the M-300 making it easy to learn and easy to use. Novice users will also appreciate the on-board Help system.

The M-300 V-Mixer integrates with PCs via its Remote Control Software for additional control or sending/receiving setup data allowing users to prepare channel setups and configurations before arriving at the venue.

Roland Systems Group’s breakthrough V-Mixing System along with this new M-300 V-Mixer is the answer to high-quality live digital audio control and distribution and represents a new level in affordability, configurability and convenience.
