"Our new technical relationship with 5 Star Cases enables us to fully support the M-480 as a touring product, making it easier for our customers to specify the console with a professional flight case," commented Simon Kenning, UK sales manager. "The versatility of the M-480 has made it a popular choice for live sound applications such as house of worship, but we are confident that this console has the power and functionality to take further ground in the touring market."
In fact, Roland are so confident in the quality and durability of the M-480 that the console is now offered with a five-year warranty. Visitors to PLASA Focus (Leeds, 29-30th April 2014) will be able to see the console and flight case, which is available in orange or black, on the Roland Systems Group stand (R-B12).
Equipped with a newly developed mixing engine, this iPad controllable console provides a 4-band fully parametric EQ with a gate, compressor and delay available on all mixing channels to offer an enhanced level of flexible audio processing. The M-480 also supports a cascade connection that enables 96 channels of mixing by connecting a second unit - all via one simple Cat5e/6 cable.
The full product portfolio from Roland Systems Group includes a range of professional audio and video equipment including digital consoles, personal mixers, multi-channel recorders, audio recorders, video switchers and mixers, video converters and video editors.
