S-4000D - The REAC Splitter Equipped with Embedded Power “REAC Embedded Power”is unique Roland technology that enables the transfer of not only the digital audio signal but also the power required by the connected device - all via one CAT5e cable. The S-4000D Splitter and Power Distributor is equipped with 10 REAC ports including 8 ports of REAC Embedded Power. The S-4000D can automatically detect and distinguish a product not supporting REAC Embedded Power. In this case, power is not provided allowing the S-4000D to also function as a standard splitter when required. The S-4000D is required to use the M-48s.

REAC is Roland’s original technology for low latency, high quality digital audio transfer. REAC is an Ethernet based technology that enables multiple components to be easily integrated using lightweight Cat5e/6 cable. With just a single inexpensive cable, 40 input x 40 output channels of 24-bit uncompressed audio data (including level and control information) are transferred. Digital Snakes Enjoy superior clear sound, great intelligibility with minimal latency and the freedom to split or extend your audio sources anywhere. Bridging The S-MADI REAC Bridge enables connectivity b e t w e e n M A D I - e q u i p p e d d i g i t a l a u d i o mixers/systems to any REAC-based devices. Personal Mixers The M-48 is the “next generation” live personal mixer that offers musicians the flexibly to control exactly what they want to listen to during their performances. REAC Driver The REAC driver enables users to capture up to 40 audio channels from a Digital Snake or V-Mixing System directly into most ASIO-based DAWs via Cat5e/6 cable.
