A Powerful, Separate-Component

Digital Mixing System

The first thing users will notice about the Roland VM-7000

Series is that it’s a separate-component system. This in

itself is a big departure from current digital mixer thinking,

which holds that the console should include all audio

inputs/outputs and communication jacks on the rear panel.

But the VM-7000 Series is designed for professional uses

beyond many of today’s affordable digital mixers. Uses like

live recording and sound reinforcement applications, as

well as traditional digital mixer environments like post-pro-

duction and professional recording studios.

The VM-7000 Series is comprised of the VM-C7100 or

VM-C7200 V-Mixing Consoles and the VM-7100 or VM-

7200 V-Mixing Processors. The benefit of this separate-

component design is primarily the elimination of long,

heavy multi-channel analog audio cables between the

stage or studio and the mixing console. Such analog

cables are inherently noisier, less manageable and more

expensive than digital connections, contributing to less

flexibility in a digital mixer’s placement and increased pos-

sibility of compromised sound quality. On the other hand,

the VM-7000 Series employs VM-Link technology and

standard AES/EBU digital cables so that the only thing

being exchanged between the console and the rackmount

processor located in the stage or studio is control data.

This allows comfortable placement of the V-Mixing

Console up to 200 meters (220 yards) from the processor,

as well as the assurance of uncompromised, hum-free

connection.

V-Mixing Processor and Console Design

Essentially, the VM-7100 and VM-7200 processors are the

“heart” of the VM-7000 Series, and the VM-C7100 and VM-

C7200 are the smart, supremely user-friendly remote con-

trollers. The rackmount processors house the digital and

analog audio connections employing Roland’s best 24-bit

D/A and A/D converters as well as expandable onboard

multi-effects and master effects, including brand new COSM

Speaker Modeling technology (more on this later). In addition

to strong basic mixing features which put them on par with

the best compact digital mixers on the market today, the VM

processors offer some unique features which really set them

apart. An electronically controlled input gain allows for storing

and instantly recalling basic gain settings per channel  a

very helpful feature that isn’t found in other digital mixers on

the market today. Dual-channel delays allow for phase delay

and feedback delay with Hi/Lo damping available. Extensive

channel EQ consists of shelving low, peaking low-mid, peak-

ing high-mid, shelving high, and a high-pass filter, while the

low-mid can be shifted to a filter with resonance

(LPF/HPF/BPF/notch). Additionally, the VM processors sup-

port Surround 5.1 mixing for post-production applications.

The VM consoles are more aptly described as controllers

for the VM processors, as they primarily send and receive

control data, not audio. For this reason, the VM-C7100

and C7200 should not be mistaken for the actual mixers;

all “mixing” occurs within the rackmount processors.

However, the VM consoles do sport a wealth of helpful

“mixer” features like smooth, quiet motorized faders with

two adjustable physical clickpoints per fader, a huge back-

lit LCD with a host of easy-to-understand graphic icons,
