DISC Roland M300 32-Channel Live Digital Mixing Console

Full Description

Small Size, Big Performance

Despite weighing just under 10 kilograms, the M-300 is packed with intuitive features to assist with your mixing. The compact size means it’s easy to transport for gigging bands and events organisers. The quick set up and minimal cables means the M-300 is accessible to all levels of sound technicians. This mixing console defines itself as the solution for venues where space is a virtue.

Powerful Effects

No matter how many channels you use, the M-300 has the effects required for a reliable mix. The 4 band EQ, gate and compression allows you to distinctively assemble the tracks to your own requirements. The multi-effects processors can add four of eleven effects such as reverb, delay, chorus and phaser. The busses also feature 8 bands of parametric EQ, so you have all you need to achieve a high quality sound.

PC Connectivity

Ease of use is of paramount importance for the M-300, so Roland has equipped it with LAN and USB ports. These can connect the mixer to your PC and be controlled by the dedicated software. This allows you to upload pre-saved settings directly to your M-300, resulting in a generally easier setup and sound check. The LAN connection allows you to adjust the monitor mixes whilst sat in the audience, or for bands to quickly adjust settings themselves. The slot for a REAC port can record 24-bit audio directly to your PC and saved as WAV files. This is ideal for musicians wanting to record a live set, or for conferences and live speaking to be saved for referencing.
