101a
•
Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share an outlet
with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be
especially careful when using extension cords—the total
power used by all devices you have connected to the
extension cord’s outlet must never exceed the power rating
(watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive loads can
cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually
melt through.
The unit should be located so that its location or position
does not interfere with its proper ventilation.
.................................................................................................................................

At regular intervals, you should unplug the power plug and
clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all dust and other
accumulations away from its prongs. Also, disconnect the
power plug from the power outlet whenever the unit is to
remain unused for an extended period of time. Any
accumulation of dust between the power plug and the
power outlet can result in poor insulation and lead to fire.
Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with your
retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized
Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” sheet.

2. Select the mode to switch to.
Press the [SELECT] button to choose the mode. Pressing the [SELECT] button starts the switching operation of S-MADI. The
indicator for the selected mode flashes during the switching operation.
*
Successively pressing the [SELECT] button makes the flashing indicator change in sequence, from top down.
fig.press-select-button.eps
3. Make sure the mode has changed.
The switching operation to the selected mode is completed after about 3 seconds. The indicator that was illuminated in step 1
goes dark, and the indicator that was flashing in step 2 stops flashing and stays steadily lit.
*
*
To prevent noise, sound is muted until the mode-change is complete.
You can cancel the switching operation before it finishes by pressing another [SELECT] button while the indicator is flashing.
fig.mode-change.eps
You can operate the [SELECT] buttons for SAMPLE RATE and REAC MAIN only when CLOCK SOURCE is set to [REAC]. Operation is not possible

About Connection Cables
Observe the following points with respect to the cables used for connections.
•
•
•
Never use cables with damaged or torn coverings.
Never step on cables or subject them to undue stress.
Never wind cables too tightly or bend them double.
Along with the points just described, also observe the following points for specific cable types.
Coaxial Cables (75 ohm, BNC connectors)
•
•
•
No single cable should be longer than 100 meters.
Use cables having connectors compliant with IEC 60169-8.
The Canare L-5C2VS or equivalent is recommended.
Optical Cables (optical fiber, SC connectors, multi-mode, core diameter of 50/125 micro meters or 62.5/125 micro meters)
•
•
No single cable should be longer than 2,000 meters.
Use cables having connectors compliant with ISO/IEC 9314-3.
REAC Cables
•
•
•
Ensure that the cables used for REAC connections conform to the Cat 5e (Enhanced Category 5) standard.
No single cable should be longer than 100 meters.
To maintain transmission quality, use of the following optional REAC cables is recommended.
100-meter cables:
20-meter cables:
SC-W100S (cable only) or W100S-R (with reel)
SC-W20F
*
Compared to analog transmission, digital transmission of audio signals by means of REAC (Roland Ethernet Audio Communication) is extremely
resistant to external noise, but depending on the usage environment, in very rare instances, noise can occur. Selection of the wrong cable and
incorrect cable handling are especially likely to cause noise.
About REAC Connector Covers
When using a commercially available Ethernet cable to connect a REAC device, fit the included REAC connector covers onto the
REAC ports. Electromagnetic noise may be a problem if these are left unattached.
fig.fit-connector-cover.eps
Attaching a REAC connector cover is not necessary when you’re using an optional REAC cable (described above).
About Ferrite Cores
Two ferrite cores are included with the S-MADI. Attach the ferrite cores to the REAC cable being connected to the S-MADI. Clamp
each ferrite core onto the cable at a location near the plug at the end of the cable, pressing down on the ferrite core until it clicks
closed.
*
When attaching a ferrite core, be careful to avoid pinching your fingers.
fig.fit-ferrite-core.eps
When connecting a REAC device, use a cable that has ferrite cores attached to it.

Troubleshooting
The SELECT buttons have no effect.
Is the PANEL LOCK switch set to [LOCK]?
To enable operation, set this to [UNLOCK]. No operation is possible when it is set to [LOCK].
WORD CLOCK input and output contains errors.
The word-clock output of the S-MADI is a signal that the S-MADI re-generates internally based on the signal being input as the
clock source. This means that slight difference may occur between the input and output. When splitting signals input from a
Input and output are not possible.
Is the sampling rate of the connected equipment set to 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz?
The S-MADI supports sampling rates of 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz. Set all connected equipment to the identical sampling rate, matched
to the sampling-rate of the S-MADI.
The S-4000H does not support 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, and so it cannot be connected to the S-MADI.
REAC input is not output from MADI OUT.
When the unit is set to [THRU], signals input to the MADI IN connector are sent from the MADI OUT connector (thru-out). When
you want to convert REAC input into MADI output, set the OUTPUT switch to [OUT].
Output contains noise.
Does the frequency tolerance of the sampling clock in the input MADI signal exceed +/- 40 ppm?
If the value is exceeding +/- 40 ppm, S-MADI cannot convert accurately. Connect an external word-clock generator or other such
device, and change the CLOCK SOURCE setting to [WORD CLOCK].
Transmission to/from digital snake is not possible.
Is a suitable cable used to make the connection?
Have the REAC mode settings (master, slave, or split) been made correctly on the respective equipment?
Refer to “Connection Example 1” through “Connection Example 6” and make the correct REAC mode settings.
