It’s a Fact…

The AE-7000 is an interface unit for use with digital devices conforming to 4-route (8-channel) AES/EBU standards-including ProTools^TM and other high-end digital recording equipment. The AE-7000 communicates with AES/EBU equipment using Roland´s R-BUS technology, found on select V-Mixers and the VSR-880 Digital Studio Recorder.

Features include:

• AES/EBU interface box which converts standard digital signals (up to four routes/eight channels) to R-BUS signals for use with select V-Mixers and the VSR-880
• Converts 8-channel digital output from R-BUS ports to AES/EBU standard digital signals
• 24-bit I/O for pristine sound quality

Connecting to the VM—7000 Mixer

Note: To connect the VM-7200/7100 and the AE-7000 via R-BUS, a VM-24E I/O Expansion Board (sold separately) must be installed in the processor.

1. With the power off to all devices, connect the VM-7200/7100 to the AE-7000 with the R-BUS cable provided with AE-7000.
2. Turn the power on the AE-7000 first, then the VM-7200/7100 processor. Wait for the VM-7200/7100 control status to change to green, then turn on the VM-C7200/C7100 console.
3. Press CLOCK SOURCE on the AE-7000 to "R-BUS" to set the sampling clock.
