Key Features
Product Ref: 51076
Roland's "S1LKi" DSP audio engine supports both PCM and DSD playback. Mobile UA supports native playback of DSD audio sampled at 2.8MHz. Roland's proprietary "S1LKi" audio engine also reproduces traditional 44.1 kHz and other PCM audio with extreme precision.
By using the same type of 1-bit D/A converter used in DSD, the resulting conversion produces ultra-smooth, unclouded sound when compared to existing D/A conversion. (* 5.6 MHz DSD audio is down-sampled internally and played back as 2.8 MHz DSD audio.)
The Roland Mobile has four outputs and ultra-compact for mobile production and live performance. Ultra-compact and bus powered, the Mobile UA features quality, stereo mini-jacks on both the left and right sides. Two people can monitor audio at the same time or use one set for main outputs and another for cue monitoring or a click track. Low-latency ASIO performance means compatibility with a wide range of professional applications. (* When a jack on one side is configured as an AUX output, any volume adjustments you make on the unit will not be reflected on this jack).
The high-level headphone out supports monitoring situations where isolation from ambient sounds, nearby performers and crowd noise is essential. It supports loud audio at 158 mW+158 mW (at 4 ohm load).
USB audio streaming and DSP are processed on a single custom chip. Mobile UA inherits Roland's acclaimed VS Streaming technology for low-latency and stable operation.
DSD, or Direct Stream Digital, is a technology for digitising audio using much higher frequencies than typical PCM format. Each sample is recorded as a single bit at a sampling rate of 2.8 MHz, which is 64 times that of audio CDs (44.1 kHz). DSD formats that use 5.6 MHz, or 128 times that of CDs, are also widely used. Because DSD is capable of recording at higher levels of precision than audio CDs, it is primarily used for recording and music distribution.
