Main Features

Revolutionary Design Concept (Separate Systems)
Roland's VM-7000 Series V-Mixing System adopts the concept of separate systems
in which the input/output section (the processor), and the operating section (the
console) are completely separate.

Console
The processor and console are connected by two standard AES/EBU digital audio
cables (VM-Link). Only data concerned with the console's operations is sent to the
processor. No audio signals are exchanged between the two devices, thus
eliminating talkback and other problems. Because of this, you can easily put
together a PA system that is very resistant to noise.
A Full Array of Input and Output Connectors
The processor is equipped with a variety of connectors, including XLR connectors
compatible with a range of levels, from mic to line, quarter-inch phone jacks
(balanced and unbalanced), and digital interfaces (S/P DIF coaxial and AES/EBU)
for connecting numerous kinds of digital devices, from consumer electronics to
professional equipment. All provide you with professional-quality processing.
Up to Nine Stereo Effects Groups (With VS8F-2 Installed)
These processors come with two 24-bit stereo digital effects groups (compatible with
Roland's VS8F-2). This allows you to instantly call up algorithms for the reverb and
compression effects, mic simulator, speaker modeling, and other effects that are so
popular in Roland's VS-1680 Digital Studio Workstation and VM-3100 V-Mixing
Station. Furthermore, there is an additional group of Master-only stereo effects
that can be inserted only in the MASTER OUT/MONITOR OUT. And what's more,
since up to three VS8F-2 Effects Expansion Boards can be installed, this lets you use
up to an astounding nine stereo effects.
