    Connecting S-0808 Units to REAC Ports 1 - 4 Set the mode of the S-4000M to [MERGE] and connect the S-0808 units to REAC ports 1 through 4. The S-4000M configures all REAC slave devices connected to REAC ports 1 through 4, so a REAC master device such as the V-Mixer sees the system as a single REAC slave device.
  • Page 16: Connecting An V-Mixer To Reac Port A

    Connecting in the THRU Mode As shown in the figure below, you can connect the S-0808 units and V-Mixer via the S-4000M when it is set to the THRU mode. In this case, the S-0808 units are powered by the S-4000M, so no external batteries are required.

    Connecting Peripheral Devices Connecting Other Digital Snake Devices Connecting digital snake devices other than the S-0808 and resetting the system (p. 20) makes the REAC master device detect the input and output channel numbers as shown below. The maximum number of channels assigned varies according to the input and output configuration of the connected REAC master device. If the initially connected device is replaced with a different device, the channel-number mapping may not be detected correctly.
  • Page 20: Resetting The System

    Resetting the System When the mode of the S-4000M is set to [MERGE], the mapping of the input and output channels detected by the REAC master device varies according to the type of devices connected to REAC ports 1 through 4. When a device connected to one of the REAC ports 1 through 4 is replaced by a different device, the system must be reset to match the newly connected device.
