ROLAND UNVEILS STUDIO-CAPTURE USB 2.0 AUDIO
INTERFACE
Flagship 16x10 Interface with 12 Premium Mic Preamps
Los Angeles, CA, January 21, 2013 — Roland is proud to announce the STUDIO-
CAPTURE USB 2.0 Audio Interface, the new flagship of the acclaimed CAPTURE
family of computer-based recording interfaces. Featuring pro-level performance,
generous I/O that includes 12 premium-grade mic preamps, and a flexible, mobile
design that’s equally at home in the studio or on the road, STUDIO-CAPTURE sets
an all-new standard in USB audio interfaces.
STUDIO-CAPTURE offers a powerful, versatile solution for today’s musicians,
composers, and recording engineers. It delivers quality equivalent to dedicated
rackmount audio interfaces costing much more, all in a compact, go-everywhere
package that’s ideal for traveling production, tabletop use in home studios, or
permanent installation in commercial recording facilities.
STUDIO-CAPTURE delivers an industry first, providing 12 mic preamps (VS
PREAMPS) in one compact USB audio interface. Built with premium-grade
components, VS PREAMPs deliver exceptional low-noise performance, high
headroom, and transparent sound quality. Available for each mic channel is
independent phantom power, a low-cut filter, phase invert, and digital compressor
which has same algorithm in the Roland V-Mixer, all accessible via the included
software control panel and front panel.
With a total of 16 input channels and 10 output channels, STUDIO-CAPTURE is
equipped with plentiful I/O for large-scale recording projects and composing setups
with multiple synthesizers and other devices. Digital I/O is provided on coaxial
connectors, while MIDI I/O features Roland’s proprietary FPT processing for superior
high-speed performance.
Roland’s VS STREAMING driver delivers high-resolution, 24-bit recording at rates up
to 192 kHz, with incredible stability and industry-leading low-latency USB
performance. All current Mac and PC DAW platforms are supported through ASIO
2.0/WDM (Windows) and Core Audio (Mac) drivers. The superior VS STREAMING
technology allows users to seamlessly expand their I/O by using two STUDIO-
CAPTUREs on the same USB bus without compromising stability or audio quality.
The CAPTURE family’s unique and innovative AUTO-SENS feature makes it fast and
easy for users to set perfect input levels every time. By inputting audio signals and
pressing the dedicated front-panel AUTO-SENS button, STUDIO-CAPTURE
automatically sets the ideal recording level for each input in seconds.
