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.
