Features

Professional quality four channel recording to large capacity SDHC cards

Capture up to 4 channels of uncompressed audio with selectable bit depths (16-bit or 24-bit) and sampling frequencies(44.1kHz/48kHz/88.2kHz/96kHz) to common and inexpensive SD and SDHC memory cards.

Built-in stereo microphones and monitor speakers

Record directly to the R44 without external microphones and monitor recordings with the built-in speaker or through the headphone jack.

Pre-Record function ensures you never miss that important moment again

The Pre-Record function buffers input signals for a user-definable amount of time. When the REC button is pressed, the material from the previous few seconds (selectable) is included. This also helps reduce sound bites at the beginning of a recording by not having to start the recorder too early.

Combo type analog jacks and digital output enables connection with a variety of devices

The combo input jacks (4) supports the connection of both XLR and 1/4 inch plugs. XLR inputs are equipped with phantom power. Eleven steps of input sensitivity enable the connection of various devices with a variety of inputs levels from microphones to musical instruments. High quality analog circuitry in the preamp ensures superior recording results.

Link to computer via high speed USB

The R-44 storage can be mounted on computers with a simple USB 2.0 connection.

High-contrast Organic LED display and operation-oriented user interface

Four hours of recording with four AA batteries

The R-44 can be operated with 3 types of power: AC adaptor, 4-pin external battery and AA batteries. Four hours* of operation is possible with NiMH or alkaline batteries. [* at 16-bit/44.1kHz stereo. No phantom power and pre-record disabled.]

Built-in limiter, low-cut filter and studio class effects

An on-board limiter helps suppress sudden peaks in sound from an input source. A low-cut filter is included to help prevent things like wind noise or mic handling noise. Studio class effects such as 3-Band EQ, 6-Band GEQ, Enhancer or DeEsser can be used as tools to greatly improve audio quality. Effects can be applied while recording or simply for monitoring/playback.

• 3-band EQ: 3-band parametric EQ ; allows precise equalization with high/low shelving and peaking
• 6-band EQ: 6 point frequency band equalization; ideal for recording
• Noise Gate: Minimizes noise during low audio levels, cuts low frequency noise
• Enhancer: Cleary defines and enhances sound; good for dialogue
• Comp & DeEsser: Cuts hissing, smoothens the sound, makes audio level uniform
• MS Mic Mixing: Generates stereo mix with specified spread from inputs of Mid-Side Microphones

Professional Audio Recording Solutions

The Roland R44 provides the ideal cornerstone for professional, multi-channel, high-fidelity audio recording systems.

Please note: The Start-Stop(R) GoldenEar 4XPRO Conference Recording and Transcription System is a superior, fully engineered proven solution, in use in government, municipalities, courtrooms, and corporations on a daily basis. Don't be fooled by the so-called "DM246 COURTROOM RECORDER" being offered by our competitor (which is really just a photo-shopped Roland R44 Recorder, often bundled with cheap microphones and poorly designed transcription software that loses sync and malfunctions when the transcriptionist performs rewind operations).

Our custom designed systems can be found in courtrooms, convention centers, and boardrooms. Go mobile with easy to setup and tear down wireless setups or combine it with existing wired installations. Call us at (866) 254-0714 to create a solution ideal for you. See an example of a tailored solution for wireless courtroom recording with an included P.A. system and speaker setup below.
