Roland is proud to announce the RCS-848-the next generation in all-in-one music conferencing systems. With a rack-mountable audio hub that can be controlled via the RCS-848 Conference Controller and 8-student communication capability, the RCS-848 is the perfect conferencing solution for piano teaching, music ensemble instruction and sophisticated language lab teaching. Furthermore, since this comprehensive stand-alone system does not rely on any external computer hardware or software, it is easy-to-install and simple-to-use.

Professors, artists and business people alike can record lectures and performances using an external audio recorder, such as a CD, hard disk or computer making the RCS-848 an ideal tool for offices and universities. Educators can also monitor and communicate with their students through an external monitoring speaker system such as a stereo power-amp with speakers.

In Standard Mode the RCS-848 allows teachers to monitor and communicate with up to eight students in stereo via nine supplied RCS-1 interface boxes and RCS-HS headsets-the system's expandable to 48 students in stereo with optional RCS-8EXP expansion kits. In addition, any student may be assigned to one of four practice groups (i.e. Group A, B, C or D) for ensemble practice, performance, and communication. The result is a flexible music conferencing system that is fully expandable.

The system can also operate in Split Mode, allowing educators to accommodate up to 48 students in mono by adding optional RCS-8EXP expansion kits and RCS-HS headsets as needed.
