History & design
Introduced by Roland Professional A/V on 3 August 2015, the M-5000C is the compact version of the M-5000 console (2014), flagship of the O.H.R.C.A. platform (Open High Resolution Configurable Architecture). The engine offers up to 128 audio paths that the user freely assigns as input channels, mix buses, aux sends, matrices, groups and monitoring, with 72-bit fixed-point internal summing and 24-bit conversion at 44.1/48/96 kHz.
The compact surface carries 20 motorized faders in three sections, a 12-inch colour touchscreen, OLED bank displays and a user-assignable section. Local I/O includes 8 mic/line inputs and 8 outputs, plus two REAC ports (A/B) and a SPLIT/BACKUP port, two XI-Series expansion card slots (REAC, Dante, MADI, Waves SoundGrid), AES/EBU and a USB audio interface. The power supply is redundant.
