View Full Description

With 16 audio inputs, the Roland STUDIO-CAPTURE provides extensive connection capabilities for professional production needs - and will fit easily into a travel bag. With the Studio Capture, audio quality and connectivity options are equivalent to dedicated rackmount audio interfaces costing much more.

You also get 24-bit/192 kHz audio quality, comprehensive front-panel metering, XLR monitor outputs and dedicated level control. Also built-in are dual headphone outputs, rock-solid drivers with VS STREAMING technology, and much more.

As with many Roland products the Studio-Capture is durable, portable, and capable of handling large-scale recording projects in the studio and on the road. Combining professional audio performance with plentiful I/O options and a versatile mobile design, STUDIO-CAPTURE is a powerful solution for today's musicians, producers and recording engineers.

12 premium mic preamps

STUDIO-CAPTURE has 12 digitally-controlled mic preamps (called VS PREAMPS), a first for a compact USB audio interface, made with premium-grade components for exceptional low-noise performance, high headroom, and transparent sound quality. 12 XLR/TRS combo inputs are provided for the preamps, with four inputs on the front panel for quick and easy access. Each channel also has independent phantom power, a low-cut filter, phase invert, and digital compression, all accessible via the included software control panel.

High-performance VS STREAMING driver technology

STUDIO-CAPTURE supports high-resolution, 24-bit recording at rates up to 192 kHz, with incredible stability and industry-leading low-latency USB performance using Roland's proprietary VS STREAMING technology. All current Mac and PC DAW platforms are supported through ASIO 2.0/WDM (Windows) and Core Audio (Mac) drivers. The VS STREAMING driver also lets you expand your I/O by using two STUDIO-CAPTUREs on the same USB bus, without compromising stability or audio quality.

AUTO-SENS: perfect levels at the touch of a button

The AUTO-SENS feature lets you quickly and easily set perfect input levels every time. Just press the AUTO-SENS button, play your connected instruments, and STUDIO-CAPTURE automatically sets the ideal recording level for each input in seconds. Useful for pros and beginners alike, AUTO-SENS is a great time saver, offering quick, fail-safe audio capture when recording a fully mic'd drum kit or an entire band.

Comprehensive monitoring and metering

Bright, responsive LED meters let you instantly check your input, output and monitor levels, while dedicated input channel buttons make it quick and easy to get around. The MONITOR OUT section features a dedicated LEVEL knob for control room volume, plus a DIRECT MONITOR knob for listening to selected input signals. Two head phone jacks-each with their own level knob-allow a musician and engineer to monitor at the same time without additional hardware.

Flexible monitor mixing with effects

STUDIO-CAPTURE also offers four independent Direct Mixers for zero-latency monitoring, operated via the software control panel. Powered by STUDIO-CAPTURE's internal DSP, each mix can be routed to any of the outputs, perfect for sending custom monitor mixes to headphones, speakers, or recording devices. Mix configurations can be saved for later use, providing quick setups for many different applications. A high-quality reverb processor is available for monitoring, allowing singers and instrumentalists to record dry tracks while listening to great-sounding ambience effects.
