For the USA

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the

FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential

installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee

that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the

interference by one or more of the following measures:

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Unauthorized changes or modification to this system can void the users authority to operate this equipment.

This equipment requires shielded interface cables in order to meet FCC class B Limit.

WARNING

This product contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm, including lead.



• Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts

within it (except when this manual provides

specific instructions directing you to do so). Refer

all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Roland

Service Center, or an authorized Roland

distributor, as listed on the "Information" page.





• Never use or store the unit in places that are:

• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct

sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating

duct, on top of heat-generating equipment); or

are

• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors);

or are

• Humid; or are

• Exposed to rain; or are

• Dusty; or are

• Subject to high levels of vibration.



• Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is

level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on

stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.



A

• The unit should be connected to a power supply

only of the type described in the operating

instructions, or as marked on the rear side of unit.



E

• Use only the attached power-supply cord. Also,

the supplied power cord must not be used with

any other device.





• Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord,

nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can

damage the cord, producing severed elements

and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and

shock hazards!





• This unit, either alone or in combination with an

amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be

capable of producing sound levels that could

cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for

a long period of time at a high volume level, or at

a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience

any

hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should

immediately stop using the unit, and consult an

audiologist.

A

• Immediately turn the power off, remove the

power cord from the outlet, and request servicing

by your retailer, the nearest Roland Service

Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as

listed on the "Information" page when:

• The power-supply cord, or the plug has been

damaged; or

• If smoke or unusual odor occurs

• Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been

spilled onto the unit; or

• The unit has been exposed to rain (or

otherwise has become wet); or

• The unit does not appear to operate normally

or exhibits a marked change in performance.

• In households with small children, an adult

should provide supervision until the child is

capable of following all the rules essential for the

safe operation of the unit.



• Protect the unit from strong impact.

(Do not drop it!)





• 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.



• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g.,

flower vases) on this unit. Also, avoid the use of

insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray

cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any

liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft

cloth.

outlet or this unit.



A

• 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.

• Always turn the phantom power off when

connecting any device that does not require +48 V

phantom power. You risk causing damage if you

mistakenly supply phantom power to dynamic

hroughout the text, the individual components’ names are often shortened, and referred to simply as

“

S-4000S,”

“

S-4000H,” and

“

S-4000R.” When a

p

rocedure or descri

p

tion refers to the entire s

y

stem,

t

he name “S-4000 System” is used.

button labeled

“

LOCK” will a

pp

ear in the manual as the LOCK button, or sim

p

l

y

LOCK, as in

“

Press

”

One button on the S-4000R serves a dual purpose. The button’s name indicates both of its functions:

CLIP CLEAR•ENTER.

Usage Convent

i

ons

T

he

p

ur

p

ose of the S-4000 S

y

stem is to function as an audio

“

snake”—a device used to transfer

multiple audio signals from one place to another, usually over a long distance. Since the S-4000

Sy

stem transfers si

g

nals as di

g

ital data—the s

y

stem’s

p

rimar

y

benefit—it’s called a

“

di

g

ital snake.

”

In most cases, audio snakes are used in sound reinforcement applications that involve a musical

p

er

f

ormance, a t

h

eatre

p

resentation, or an orator

(

or orators

)

. In suc

h

a

ppl

ications, t

h

e

p

rimar

y

source

of the audio is at a “stage” area, and that audio is sent via the snake to a “mixing” position (also

referred to as the

“

front of house” or FOH

p

osition)

Occasionally, the manual refers to a physical location for the system’s components as the “stage,”

“

“

for the sake of brevit
