Roland M-5000 Digital Mixing Systems are complete packages that feature the M-5000 Live Mixing Console and a variety of digital snakes, splitters, recorders, players and personal mixers. While the console on its own runs upwards of $22,000 (and that’s street price!), the digital mixing systems give you more bang for your buck by bundling in other high quality equipment. We have the lowest system prices around!
Let’s take a quick glance at the M-5000 Live Mixing Console and then we’ll dive into the digital mixing systems!
M-5000 Live Mixing Console
Model Number: M5000
Street Price: upwards of $22,000
This powerful digital mixer features Roland’s advanced OHRCA technology. OHRCA, which stands for “Open High Resolution Configurable Architecture,” is unlike anything else on the market. Open references the dual future-proof expansion ports that utilize REAC, Dante, MADI, Wave SoundGrid and other audio protocols. High Resolution refers to the M-5000 Live Mixing Console’s 24-bit/96kHz sampling rate. Configurable Architecture, the most important part of the acronym, refers to the 128 freely assignable audio paths that you can use to create customizations of channels, aux sends, matrices, submixes and more!
The street price of the Roland M-5000 runs upwards of $22,000. That’s pricier than other digital mixers on the market, but you get what you pay for. The advanced OHRCA technology makes this digital mixing console one of the best pieces of hardware out there!
When it comes to Roland M-5000 system pricing, we’ve got you covered. We have the lowest system prices around on all variations of M-5000 digital mixing systems. Let’s examine these six systems so you can see what our best prices have to offer! Note that each of these systems feature 128 freely definable audio paths at 96kHz and a console surface that can be controlled remotely through either an iPad or a Mac or Windows computer.
