Connecting Reac Input/Output Units; Important Notes On Reac Connections - Roland M-5000 Reference Manual

Connecting REAC Input/Output Units

This describes how to connect REAC input/output units to the
M-5000.
This section shows a typical example of a connection using
the S-2416. For connections of greater complexity, refer to the
Reference Manual (PDF).

Important Notes on REAC Connections

REAC connections are designed not to produce noise when hot-
swapping (inserting or detaching live lines) is performed. In rare
cases, however, noise might occur in the system's audio output. The
following two methods can prevent damage due to hot-swapping
to speakers or other devices connected to audio outputs.
5 Make the REAC connection while holding down [MUTE ALL
OUTPUTS] on the input/output unit.
5 Go to the MUTE GROUP MASTER window and use [MUTE ALL
OUTPUTS] to mute output, then make the REAC connection.
