Roland Professional distributors in the region, Nicolas Kyvernitis Electronics Enterprises have recently supplied relatively new firm Backline Rentals with a Roland Digital Snake. The Dubai based rental firm providing light and sound services currently uses a digital mixing console from Soundcraft. The purchase includes the S-1608 Stage Unit, the S-0816 Front of House Unit, the S-4000R Remote and a 100m reel of CAT5e cable.

The S-1608 and S-0816 Digital Snake are compact versions of the popular S-4000 Digital Snake system. Easy to use and quick to install, the S-1608/0816 Digital Snake system is a small format audio snake solution that offers the highest quality audio signal available in a portable snake system. The S-1608/0816 Digital Snake system is ideal for bands, corporate A/V events, seminars, rental and staging houses, House of Worship and broadcasters that needs the best possible sound quality from their audio without the high frequency losses and bulk of analog snakes.

“Backline Rentals have had their digital console for a while and although digital consoles are convenient, the lack of a digital snake can sometimes hamper the overall production of the show,” commented Moswain Antao, Roland Video Specialist. He added, “with the new system, Backline can ensure their signal quality is protected and the best part is that the snake can be used with any console, analog or digital. So truly an investment with long term returns.”
