Better still, all of this breakthrough digital mix-ing technology can be easily navigated via friendly user interface with a large informative LCD and ultra-fast short cut keys. And as a separate component system, recording and live sound engineers are free to configure the VM-7000 Series as needed for unprecedented flexi-bility in a range of applications.

A Powerful, Separate-Component Digital Mixing System

The first thing users will notice about the Roland VM-7000 Series is that it.s a separate-component system. This in itself is a big departure from current digital mixer thinking, which holds that the console should include all audio inputs/out-puts and communication jacks on the rear panel. But the VM-7000 Series is designed for professional uses beyond many of today.s affordable digital mixers. Uses like live recording and sound reinforcement applications, as well as traditional digital mixer environments like post-production and professional recording studios. The VM-7000 Series is comprised of the VM-C7100 or VM-C7200 V-Mixing Consoles and the VM-7100 or VM-7200 V-Mixing Processors.

The benefit of this separate-compo-nent design is primarily the elimination of long, heavy multi-channel analog audio cables between the stage or studio and the mixing console. Such analog cables are inherently noisier, less manageable and more expensive than digital connections, contributing to less flexibility in a digital mixer.s placement and increased possibility of compromised sound quality. On the other hand, the VM-7000 Series employs VM-Link technology and standard AES/EBU digital cables so that the only thing being exchanged between the console and the rackmount processor located in the stage or studio is control data. This allows comfortable placement of the V-Mixing Console up to 200 meters (220 yards) from the processor, as well as the assurance of uncompromised, hum-free connection.
