REAC - The Audio Quality Standard for Digital Snake Systems
S-0816
FOH Unit
Unlike analog multicore snake cables, RSS Digital Snake systems are
equipped with high quality and remote-controllable mic pre-amps. The
pre-amps of RSS Digital Snake systems have been specially designed
for live audio applications and is made of high quality components
carefully selected by Roland's engineers.
Use Multiple S-1608/0816 Digital Snake System to create multiple
stage configurations such as Left, Right and Center stage unit
positions. Simply run Cat5e cables to FOH units in Front of House
position for easy cable management.
Because REAC is based on standard Ethernet technology, the
individual audio inputs coming into S-1608/0816 digital snake
system can be recorded via the Gigabit Ethernet port of PC
computer. DAW software to capture the audio signal is now under
development by Cakewalk and will be released in the near future.
This will make multi-channel live recording easier than ever before.
Create Multiple Stage Configurations
REAC Technology
The REAC (Roland Ethernet Audio Communication) protocol is an
industry proven, low latency, high quality 24bit/96kHz audio transfer
protocol used by the S-1608 and S-0816. The REAC protocol allows
the Digital Snake signal to be “split” to as many positions as required
such as monitor, broadcast and recording locations using S-4000-SP
REAC Splitter or any standard gigabit Ethernet switch.
The S-1608/0816 Digital
Snake System can be
used easily expand the
channel count of the S-
4000 32x8 Digital Snake
System to 48x16 or more.
Mix and match S-4000
and S-1608/0816 Digital
Snake systems for
customizable rental and
installation systems.
High Resolution Sound Quality
By having 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. By using Cat5e cable instead of large multi-core
copper cable, the S-1608/0816 digital snake system is immune to the
“hums and buzzes” caused by electrical noise and ground issues.

Digital Snake System
Easy and Expandable Remote-controllable
REAC technology will make easy
recording split
The S-1608/0816 Digital Snake system is ideal for bands, corporate A/V events, seminars, rental and
staging houses, House of Worship and broadcasters that needs the best possible sound quality from
their audio without the high frequency losses and bulk of analog snakes.
S-1608
Stage Unit
The S-1608 and S-0816 Digital Snake are compact versions of the popular S-4000 Digital Snake system.
Easy to use and quick to install, the S-1608/0816 Digital Snake system is a small format audio snake
solution that offers the highest quality audio signal available in a portable snake system.
The snake comes with high quality pre-amp
