Superb Quality, Simple Setup, Flexibility.

The next generation audio transfer technology – REAC.

REAC (Roland Ethernet Audio Communication) is Roland’s original technology. REAC transfers 40x40 of

24-bit uncompressed multi channel audio, level information, and control data over a single cat5e cable. This

digital transfer system eliminates the typical problems found in analog transfer such as signal quality degra-

dation or hums and buzzes. REAC provides not only superb sound quality but also is easy to install and cost

effective using light-weight Cat5e cable.

REAC product line allows system flexibility and expandability

The REAC products are among the best in the industry on their own but they are designed to work even

better as part of a system, communicating with each other via REAC. This system connection approach

brings superior sound quality, is easy to learn, easy to use and brings all the powerful benefits of a digital

solution.

Ensuring high quality while protecting the environment: Roland is ISO9001 and ISO14001 certified

maintain harmony with the environment. (ISO=International Standardization Organization: an organization for the promotion of standardization of international units and terms. They provide different categories of certification:

ISO9001 Series certification is a product quality certification for products that undergo a certain level of quality control from the design stage to the after service stage; ISO14001 Series certification is for environment-related
