A Compact Digital Snake with Pro Features! The RSS S-1608 Digital Snake system gives you a high-quality, portable snake with a 16-in x 8-out configuration that's great for just about any application, from bands to houses of worship. The S-1608 is easy to transport and set up, and it transmits audio cleanly and clearly, without the frequency losses you'd get from bulky analog snakes. This snake contains remote-controllable preamps for easy routing and monitoring, and Roland's proprietary REAC technology provides extremely low latency and several "splitting" options for the S-1608. RSS S-1608 Digital Snake System at a Glance: REAC communication protocol Digital clarity Easy splitting options Multiple configurations for the stage REAC communication protocol The REAC (Roland Ethernet Audio Communication) protocol is an industry proven, low latency, high quality 24 bit/ 96kHz audio transport protocol used by the S-1608. The REAC protocol allows the Digital Snake's signal to be "split" to as many positions as required such as monitor, broadcast and recording splits using the optional RSS S-4000-SP or any standard gigabit Ethernet switch. Digital clarity By placing high quality mic-pres on stage, the sound is amplified and converted at the closest point to the sound source, providing the best possible quality audio. The mic preamps can be controlled using the free PC/Mac RCS software, or the optional the S-4000R. By using Cat5e cable instead of large multi-core copper cable, the S-1608 Digital Snake system is immune to the "hums and buzzes" caused by electrical noise and ground issues and the high frequency losses inherent in analog snakes. Easy splitting options With the S-1608 Digital Snake system, the source audio can be digitally split using the S-4000SP or any standard Ethernet switch. These lossless digital splits can be routed over CAT5 cable to a monitoring console or a broadcast truck for recording. Multiple configurations for the stage Use multiple S-1608 Digital Snake Systems to create flexible stage configurations such as Left, Right and Center snake positions. Simply run Cat5e cables to the front of house console for easy cable management on stage. RSS S-1608 Digital Snake System Features: 16 input x 8 output configuration High resolution 24 bit / 96 kHz audio quality Remote controllable preamps using free RCS software or optional S-4000R REAC low latency digital audio transmission system Easy and affordable splits and recording options The RSS S-1608 Digital Snake system is a compact, effective, and crystal-clear-sounding snake system! Sweetwater Expert Advice     "If you are considering upgrading to a more expensive console to improve your sound quality, look at this first! You wouldn't believe how much clarity and fidelity is lost in your 150' snake run. The difference is not subtle at all. Your choir will sound like they stepped 10 feet closer to the mics and took bags off of their heads."
