The Roland R-05 WAV/MP3 Handheld Recorder is Roland’s youngest among its impressive family of digital recorders.
This new recording baby will surely capture the interest of recording geeks because of its ease of use, crystal clear audio quality, and enhanced editing features. And to make things better, this portable multi track recorder comes with an extended battery life.

This makes the Roland R-05 a perfect recording gizmo for almost everywhere be it in school, in the boardroom, or at the streets.

Aside from all its amazing physical features and capabilities intended to satisfy the needs of musicians after pro recording at their hands, the Roland R-05 can withstand and record up to 16 hours worth of content.

With the R-05 handheld multi track recorder, you will be able to loop different audio regions at optimum recording levels because when in Rehearsal mode, the device automatically adjusts and compensates for your recording needs. Plus, its integrated reverb provides a high gloss finish to the recordings. .
