Advanced recorders conceived and created by
Because we understand the essence of sound, we make no
compromises in quality. And because we have a solid track
record as a pioneer in the fi eld, no other product family compares
to the R-series' quality and ease of use. Roland WAVE/MP3
recorders symbolize a no-compromise pursuit of high-quality
sound recording and a passion for perfection. Whether you
choose by performance or value, you will fi nd your solution here.
Unique ICA omnidirectional mic system accurately
captures the depth and ambience of the environment
High-quality design enables perfect and detailed
recordings. The core recording component is our
proprietary ICA (Isolated Capsule Architecture)
omnidirectional mic system, outstanding for capturing
detailed ultra-low frequencies, especially when
compared to standard unidirectional mics. The shape
of the special capsule that covers the unit provides
focus. As a result, the sounds recorded on these
recorders are realistic and have a natural stereo feel.
Floating construction reduces noise
In order to eliminate vibrations that can cause
noise, the mic housing has been isolated from
the unit's circuit board. It rests on a floating
base enclosed in a rubber damper, providing
excellent vibration insulation. These recorders
achieve high-quality live recordings by reducing

Proprietar y IARC analog circuitr y is the key to
excellent sound quality
R-Series recorders are equipped with Roland's proprietary IARC (Isolated
Adaptive Recording Circuit). Input levels reaching the A/D converter are
optimized to ensure that audio is digitally converted while retaining its
natural, pure quality. Additionally, the independent power-supply circuitry
prevents noise caused by interference between circuits.
Every step has been taken to reduce noise.
Limiter and AGC prevent recording errors before they happen
The Limiter and AGC (Auto Gain Control) adjust input levels to prevent
recording errors. Use either of these to suit the situation, and enjoy
recordings with consistent quality.
Limiter prevents
distortion caused by
excessive input levels
The limiter prevents distortion by compressing the level when there is excessive input from
transient, high-volume sounds. With the ability to handle sources with large fluctuations in
volume, these recorders are ideal for recording musical performances and vocals.
AGC (Auto Gain Control)
smooths the volume of
the entire recording
This feature amplifies weaker input and attenuates strong input to ensure a consistent
overall volume. This is best for situations such as conferences where you want to
capture all speakers at the same volume.
Roland, the tr usted leader in music technology
Linear PCM recording exceeds audio-CD quality
With support for linear PCM recording (WAVE) up to 24-bit at 96 kHz, the
R-series lets you create astonishingly realistic recordings, capturing the
finest details of the source. MP3 is also supported, so you can chose the
audio format that best suits your application. Recordings are captured and
stored on industry-standard SDHC/SD memory cards, supporting high-
quality sound and lengthy recording times.
Edit your recordings with built-in tools such as
Divide and Combine
A variety of editing functions lets you customize your recorded files
directly onboard on the unit. You can combine multiple files of the same
format into one, for example, or divide a single file into multiple files.
Regardless of the file format you recorded in — WAVE or MP3 — you can
edit them right on the spot.
Divide (fi le splitting)
Divide your file at any point after you record. You
can use this in a variety of ways, including dividing a
continuous file at spaces between songs.
Combine (fi le merging)
Combine two files. Use this to create a medley of
multiple songs, for example, or merge all songs from a
continuous recording into a single audio file.
Trim (trimming unwanted sections)
Keep only the parts of the recorded file that you need
and erase the rest. This is an easy way for trimming
out the unwanted space before and after a song.

Stress-free usability for fast, high-quality recordings
Functions that are used most often are
controllable via hardware switches, including the
INPUT LEVEL button for adjusting input level,
MIC GAIN for configuring mic sensitivity, and
LOW CUT for eliminating irritating low-frequency
noise. These compact recorders fit in your
palm, and are just the right size for comfortable,
