When it comes to location recording for video work, the Roland R-88 gives you all of the mobile media production tools you need to make every shoot run smoothly. It lets you record audio feeds from up to eight microphones - and even a couple of digital sources - in full 24-bit/96Hz linear PCM format - all onto inexpensive SD Card media. At the same time, you can pass a stereo audio feed back to your camera for a high-quality reference mix. What's more, the R-88 even supports SMPTE I/O, making video sync painless.

A full set of hands-on controls, plus a intuitive touch panel display make setup easy. There's a DSP-based 3-band EQ on each channel and eight discrete XLR outputs on the R-88 for sound reinforcement and monitoring.
Fully loaded USB audio interface for on-the-fly productionNext time you want to record audio straight into a DAW with your laptop-based studio, don't worry about lugging around your studio interface and a bunch of extension cables - just hook up your Roland R-88 field recorder and you're good to go. Thanks to the R-88's USB audio interface capabilities, the same device you use to capture audio in the field can easily act as your go-to studio recorder... even if your "studio" happen to be in the middle of a field. And when you tap into the R-88's awesome Mid-Side decoding, you can pull off some mighty advanced post-production tricks as well.
