* Pins 7 and 8 are connected inside the M-5000.
* For the M-5000 to function, the three pins RXD, TXD, and GND
must be connected as shown in the gure.
* In addition to the owner’s manual, V-Mixer RS-232C Reference
Manual (PDF) is available as a reference material that covers RS-
232C port control.
Download the PDF le from the Roland website.

5 Overviews, detailed explanations, and lists of commands
6 MIDI Connectors
These are connectors for attaching MIDI devices. An IN connector
(for reception) and an OUT/THRU connector (for transmission and
“thru”) are provided.
7 AES/EBU OUT 1/2, AES/EBU OUT 3/4 Jacks
These jacks output digital audio signals in AES/EBU format
(IEC60958-compliant).
8 AES/EBU IN 1/2, AES/EBU IN 3/4 Jacks
These jacks input digital audio signals in AES/EBU format (IEC60958-
compliant).
NOTE
The AES/EBU IN 1/2 and AES/EBU IN 3/4 jacks are not equipped
with a sampling-rate converter. Input digital audio signals
synchronized to the M-5000’s word clock.
9 DOCK CABLE Connector
This is for connecting an iPad using the dock cable included with
the M-5000. This lets you operate the unit remotely and perform
audio input and output on 2 channels using the iPad.
Charging starts automatically when an iPad is connected.
10 LAN Port
This is an RJ45 connector for connecting a computer or Wi-Fi router.
It lets you operate the M-5000 remotely using a computer or iPad.
11 LAN-cable Hook
This secures the LAN cable connected to the LAN port. This can help
prevent inadvertent detachment of the LAN cable.
0“Using the LAN-cable Hook” (p. 24)
12 USB WLAN ADAPTER Connector
This is a USB port for connecting a wireless USB adapter (WNA1100-
RL, sold separately).
It lets you connect an iPad, computer, or Wi-Fi router.
13 USB COMPUTER Connector
This is a USB port for connecting a computer.
It lets you operate the M-5000 remotely and perform audio input
and output on 16 channels.
14 REAC Ports (A B, SPLIT/BACKUP)
These are RJ45 connectors for attaching input/output units (such
as the S-2416, S-1608, S-0816, and S-4000S) using Cat 5e Ethernet
cables.
The unit has two series of REAC ports (A and B). The SPLIT/BACKUP
port can split or duplicate the REAC A or B connection.
The REAC SPLIT/BACKUP port is compatible with REAC EMBEDDED
POWER, and can supply power to devices compatible with REAC
EMBEDDED POWER.
When a REAC device is connected, the system automatically detects
whether the device is compatible with REAC EMBEDDED POWER
and supplies power if compatible.
Power is not supplied if the device is not compatible with REAC
EMBEDDED POWER.
15 WORD CLOCK IN/OUT Connectors
These are connectors for word-clock input and output. To terminate
word-clock input at the M-5000, set the 75 ohms switch to ON.
16 BATTERY Slot
This slot contains a lithium battery that maintains the M-5000’s
clock function and preserves the mixer settings. If the battery runs
down, you need to replace it.
0“Replacing the Internal Lithium Battery” (p. 22)
17 Ground Terminal
This terminal is used to connect the M-5000 to an electrical ground.
* Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you
may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that
the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this
device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of
other objects, such as guitars. This is due to an innitesimal
electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you
are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see
gure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded,
a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your
installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact
the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland
distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
Unsuitable places for connection
5 Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
5 Gas pipes (may result in re or explosion)
5 Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in
the event of lightning)
