Roland M-200i V-mixer digital mixer
Product no: 9000-0005-2374 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Roland's elaborate M-200i digital mixer enables you to adjust parameters using an optional iPad, which can also be placed in the practical compartment provided. The iPad can be connected to your M-200i mixer via a simple cable, creating a sizeable touch screen.

Characteristics of the M-200i mixer

The M-200i is not only easy to use, but allows you to quickly adjust parameters during live performances. This is partly due to the special touch-and-turn technology: select a parameter on the iPad and then adjust it with a physical controller for optimal fine-tuning. Remarkably, the console itself has quite a compact size. As the mixer has a digital setup, a lot of space can be saved and much can be achieved by layering. Auxiliaries, for instance, are accessible in a separate layer. After all, 90% of a monitor mix is usually made during the soundcheck and only small adjustments are required during a live performance. The mixer offers space for 32 channels, with 16 physical, compact channel strips. Processes like compression, applying effects, equalizing and processing all take place when you select one or more channels and adjust the parameters via your iPad. The mixer is equipped with 24 analogue inputs and 14 analogue outputs. If that is not enough, more can be created by using the REAC port and a Roland digital snake, which can be tucked away next to the stage. This requires fewer cables, increasing reliability and limiting interference. The REAC port can also be used to digitally divide the incoming tracks, enabling artists to create their own monitor mixes using personal mixers.

Wireless and wired iPad control

Making a remote monitor mix is a complicated task, especially if you only have floor monitors to work with. The Roland M-200i enables you to control the parameters wirelessly using an iPad, so you can create a monitor mix per auxiliary from the stage. Two iPads can be used simultaneously: one wired to the mixer, one wirelessly. The mixer is fitted with a stable tablet holder that is suitable for any generation and type of iPad.

More functionality for studio and other applications

The M-200i is perfect for live use but can also be used for other purposes. Record your final mix onto a USB stick, or use the mixer to play the files that are already on it. It's also possible to set up a USB data connection with your PC or Mac, in order to facilitate remote control and to exchange tracks with your DAW.

Wrote the following about Roland M-200i V-mixer digital mixer

Lichte mengtafel die zicht uitstekend leent voor jobs waar minder dan 16 preamps nodig zijn.
Je kan ook heel eenvoudig uitbreiden met de digitale stageblok en tot 32 preamps gaan, dan heb je wel geen kanalen meer over voor je FX-returns tenzij je je FX op de aux insert plaatst en de aux direct naar de main stuurt (geen probleem dus)

Uitstekende klankkwaliteit en zeer bruikbare EQ en compressors. en voor de liefhebbers zit er ook een emulatie van de Dimension D van Roland in die in vele studio's nog steeds gebruikt wordt. Er zijn 4 interne FX bussen die je zowel als insert kan gebruiken of via een aux kan aansturen. Buiten de interne effecten kan je nog 4 externe effecten als insert plaatsen en deze nemen dan ook de fysieke in 17-20 en uit 7-10 over. Deze 4 in en uit zijn standaard op jack uitgevoerd op de mengtafel.

Een nadeel is dat de bediening zonder ipad wel wat omslachtiger is, maar het kan. Je moet ook wel even aan de structuur wennen van de verschillende tab-bladen, maar dat is bij elke mengtafel zo, niet?

Wat een geweldig ding. lang twijgelen welke te nemen. Ik zocht een mixer die rack mounted was, ruimte om te groeien en die bestuurbaar was van afstand. er zijn er gelukkig wel een aantal om uit te kiezen in deze prijsklasse. Prosonus viel al af omdat ie geen moterfaders had. Dus de SI, de X32 en de M200i bleven over. veel vergelijkings sites afgegaan waar veel al de X32 als winaar uit kwam. tot ik deze video vond. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaK-yaGB0BA Lijkt wel een van de weinige die ook daadwerkelijk over geluidskwaliteit praat. Hier komt de X32 en de M200i eigenlijk beide als winnaar er uit. tot ie zegt dat hij aan EQ niet veel hoefde te doen omdat ie gewoon lekker klinkt. dat was voor mij de druppel. Ook vond ik jammer dat de X32 die rack mountable was weer zo'n weinig faders had en dat via matrix of dca's moest doen. Ook een groot voordeel vond ik dat deze 2 user layers heeft die vrij programmeerbaar zijn. mic, dca, stereo bus op 1 fader, matrix allemaal op 1 strip zoals jij dat wilt.
Ook handig vond ik de aansluitingen. gewoon rca op je tafel voor je Ipod, direct maken van een wifi verbinding vanuit de tafel dus geen extra apparatuur om mee te zeulen. de machine voelt robuust en prettig om mee te werken en klinkt geweldig. Nadelen zijn dat ie geen virtual sound check kan doen en dat ie iets te gelaagd is om mee te werken waardoor kans op fouten iets groter zijn. na een paar uurtjes spelen met deze machine was dat gevoel eigenlijk weg. via de knoppen en het direct reageren van je Ipad regel je alles snel en precies.
heerlijk om je GEQ in te kunnen regelen terwijl je in de zaal of op het podium staat. alles zit er in wat je nodig hebt. snel en direct vindbaar. Top ding.
