What’s RDAC?

RDAC (Roland Digital Audio Coding) is a proprietary audio recording

standard from Roland.

It achieves high sound quality and also makes it possible to record for long times.

If You’re Not Sure About Which Grade and Mode to Choose

The optimal grade and mode vary according to the usage conditions, including the connected equipment, recording source, sound quality, time, and playback system.

The factory default settings are RDAC-Grade: LONG1; and RDAC-Mode: MODE1.

First, try recording and playback with these settings. In most cases, this yields satisfactory sound quality.

Recording Type (Stereo/Mono)(REC MODE SW 6)

Select either stereo recording or mono recording.

Choosing mono recording gives you recording times that are twice as long as with stereo recording.

What is mono recording

In the case of mono recording, input the audio signal to the "MONO/L" input jack. When audio signals are input simultaneously to the "MONO/L" and "R" input jacks, L and R are mixed and recorded.

Line Thru Output

REC SW6: OFF (mono)

When audio signals are input to "MONO/L," output is from OUTPUT L and R. When audio signals are input to "R," output is from OUTPUT R only. When audio signals are input to both "MONO/L" and "R," solely the signals input to "MONO/L" are output from OUTPUT L, while the "MONO/L" and "R" signals are mixed and output from OUTPUT R.

REC SW6: ON (stereo)

Audio signals input to "MONO/L" are output from OUTPUT L, and audio signals input to "R" are output from OUTPUT R.
