Roland Introduces CPM-300 Powered Mixer

January 28, 1999 -- Roland Corporation is proud to introduce the CPM-300 Powered Mixer-a compact mixer employing Roland's breakthrough ECOS technology in its power amplifier section for a lightweight design with improved efficiency and response.

Although lightweight, the CPM-300 boasts substantial power: 2 channels at 150W (4 Ohms) or 100W (8 Ohms). There are 10 input/mixing channels (6 mono, 2 stereo line-level) with 2-band EQ per channel, and an XLR input on Channel 1. Low-noise preamps and high-grade components throughout provide an extremely clean, powerful sound.

Roland's new "ECOS" (Efficiency Control Operation System) technology is the "heart" of the CPM-300's high-efficiency amplifier section. ECOS employs a control circuit that simultaneously monitors signal level and amplifier operating conditions to optimize power "intelligently." The result is a lightweight amplifier that consumes half the power of a conventional unit while generating only one third the heat.

Other CPM-300 features include digital reverb-with Echo, Hall, Stage and Room presets-and Roland's built-in Anti-Feedback processing, which can be used to automatically eliminate feedback before a performance via the Auto Adjust mode, or during the performance with Dynamic Adjust mode.
