Expansion Options
VS8F-2 Effects Expansion Board
Provides two stereo multi-effects processors
with Patches and effects algorithms similar
to the highly acclaimed VS-1680, as well as
innovative new effects like COSM Speaker
Modeling.
VM-24E I/O Expansion Board
Offers three R-BUS terminals on a single
board. Each R-BUS connector provides
8-in/8-out 24-bit digital audio I/O, yielding
24-in/24-out audio with a single expansion
board. (One VM-24E expansion board is
required per processor to use the R-BUS
options.)
VM-24C Cascade Kit
Connects two VM-Series processor units in
line without sacrificing an MTR bus. Using
two VM-7200 processors cascaded and fully
expanded with R-BUS I/O, 94 channels of
audio processing are available.
MB-24 Level Meter Bridge
The optional MB-24 Level Meter Bridge
provides super-accurate, 10-segment
LED metering for up to 94 channels (24
simultaneously), plus a monitor readout,
main readout, track status indicators,
and an LED which displays timecode
and bar/beat information.
DIF-AT Interface Box for ADAT™/Tascam®
Converts signals between R-BUS and ADAT/Tascam
T-DIF™. Handles 8-in/8-out digital audio. 1/3
rackmount size.
VSR-880 Rackmount Hard Disk Recorder
With the new VSR-880, Roland puts its legendary
V-Studio technology in a rack. The VSR-880 is an
8-track hard disk recorder with 24-bit AD/DA, 128
Virtual Tracks, 999 levels of Undo, and all the
powerful editing and optional effects V-Studios are
known for. The VSR-880 can be digitally interfaced
with a V-Mixing system via its R-BUS terminal for
creating a complete digital production studio.
AE-7000 AES/EBU Interface
Perfect for users of ProTools™systems, the AE-7000 converts
signals between R-BUS and AES/EBU for up to eight channels
of simultaneous 24 bit digital I/O in a 1U rackmount box.
ADA-7000 8-Channel AD/DA Converter
The ADA-7000 is a 2U rackmount analog I/O expander
for R-BUS. It features 24-bit and up to 96kHz A/D and
D/A conversion via eight balanced XLR/TRS inputs with
balanced XLR and RCA outputs. By cascading two
expanded VM-7200 processors, a total of 90 analog
inputs (88 XLR balanced with phantom power supply)
and 86 analog outputs are available in a single digital
mixing system.
