Roland R-07 High Resolution Audio Recorder, Black

Exceptional Audio Fidelity

The Roland R-07 High Resolution Audio Recorder expands your live recording capabilities, vastly improving on Smartphone recorders in a handy and portable design. The R-07 boasts support for both WAV and MP3 formats, with sample rates reaching up to 96kHz/24-bit and encoding properties up to 320kbps. This ensures optimal audio fidelity, capturing every nuance from your source audio in immense detail. The premium-grade audio performance makes the recorder ideal for a variety of applications, from capturing found sounds for use in music production to recording live performance of your favourite bands in high resolution. Its portable design means you can take it with you anywhere you go and its wide range of integrated features ensure the perfect recording every time.

Hybrid Limiter & Dual Recording

As well as the exceptional audio fidelity the recorder provides, the R-07 also boasts a range of features designed to improve your performance for added convenience. The Dual Recording features ensures you get the perfect take every time. It works by capturing your source in two recordings at the same time. One of the recordings will be at full level with another at a lower level, for increased headroom. Because of this, if you incur clipping during your recording you can easily select portions of the lower-level recording for a perfect performance. The Hybrid Limiter function helps to minimise clipping before it occurs, optimising your audio fidelity.

Wireless Bluetooth Playback

Another convenient feature of the recorder is its ability to playback recordings wirelessly via external headphones or speakers. Utilising the latest Bluetooth technology with Qualcomm APTX for optimised streaming performance, the Roland R-07 provides you with the means to play your files back wirelessly from a Bluetooth speaker, smartwatches and even your smartphone. You can remotely control the recorder from your smartphone/smartwatch for added convenience. This minimises the use of external cables, resulting in minimal clutter

One-Touch Scene & Rehearsal Functionality

Setting up your recordings has never been easier with the R-07, with its integrated one-touch functionality for optimised audio performance. No matter the recording environment, the R-07 can adapt. When selecting a ‘Scene’, the sample rate, recording mode, limiter, low-cut filter and input level adjust instantly for optimal audio fidelity and performance. You can even alter these settings to your requirements and save them for next time, allowing you to recall your ‘Scene’ instantly. The Rehearsal function works virtually in the same way, adjusting the input levels with a single touch for the best possible recording. It also features a built-in tuner and metronome, ideal for musical applications such as recording band practices and more.

Portable Design

The compact design makes the recorder highly portable, fitting in the palm of your hand so you can take it with you anywhere you go. At the heart of the recorder is the 128 x 64 graphic LCD screen, complete with a white backlight for optimised visibility. This screen provides you with all the information you need when it comes to recording including sample rates, volume levels, recording time and more. The intuitive and ergonomic design makes it easy to navigate, with a user-friendly interface designed for quick and easy recording. It also features a built-in speaker for convenient playback anywhere you are. A Mic/Aux input is also included as well as a headphone output for private monitoring. The recorder itself runs on 2 x AA batteries or via USB bus power for added versatility.
