Main Features

Simultaneously input 16 channels and output 10 channels

At 96/48/44.1 kHz, you can simultaneously input 16 channels and output 10 channels.

This allows you to use multi-mic setups to record acoustic drums or a band.

Twelve mic preamps allow recording with high audio quality

The STUDIO-CAPTURE comes equipped with twelve of the highly acclaimed “VS PREAMP” mic preamps, which were designed to provide the highest possible sound quality when they were introduced on the OCTA-CAPTURE.

Despite its compact body, the STUDIO-CAPTURE can capture the true sound of your instruments and mics with astoundingly high audio quality.

A wide range of inputs are supported, and you can also connect a guitar.

AUTO-SENS automatically sets the optimal input level

The analog input jacks oer AUTO-SENS, which analyzes an instrument’s volume and automatically sets the optimal input level.

After AUTO-SENS is turned ON, the input signal’s volume changes are analyzed during a rehearsal for a xed length of time, allowing the signal to be recorded on your DAW software at the optimal level. This is convenient for recording sessions with limited setup time, and lets you avoid problems such as clipping due to inappropriate input level settings.

Low-latency monitoring

The STUDIO-CAPTURE uses the same “VS STREAMING” audio streaming technology that won broad acclaim when it was introduced on the OCTA-CAPTURE. Thanks to a high degree of fusion between the driver and the hardware, we have been able to keep monitoring latency during recording to an ultra-low level, and ensure stable operation for the system.

Dedicated software allows settings from your computer

The dedicated “STUDIO-CAPTURE Control Panel” software lets you edit all of the parameters. (Parameters not shown in the display of the STUDIO-CAPTURE can also be edited.)

Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” (p. 72) and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (p. 75). These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature of your new unit, read Owner’s Manual in its entirety. This manual should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference.

MEMO

Some of the settings, such as those for the preamps, can be controlled by the knobs and buttons of the STUDIO-CAPTURE itself (p. 19).

Preamps

You can set the input sensitivity for each of the INPUT 1–12 jacks. You can also set the input sensitivity automatically.

Phantom power is also supported. Since it can be switched on/o individually for each channel, you are free to use mixed setups that contain both dynamic mics and condenser mics.

In addition, the various parameters such as the low-cut and phase of each channel can be digitally controlled.

For details, refer to ”Preamp Control Screen” (p. 30).

Attenuators

Each of the INPUT 13–16 jacks lets you attenuate the incoming audio signal, allowing you to adjust the input level. Attenuator settings can also be made automatically.

For details, refer to ”Attenuator Screen” (p. 32).

Monitor mixers A, B, C, D

This allows the input signals to be directly output for monitoring without being routed through the computer. You can adjust the balance among these signals and the playback from the computer.

The direct mixer is a queue mixer that provides individual adjustment of volume and pan for each input and each playback channel from the computer.

You can control the four mixers independently.

For details, refer to ”Preamp Control Screen” (p. 30).

Patch bay

This allows you to assign the output destinations of the four monitor mixers and the output destinations of the playback channels from the computer.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply

• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter or a motor (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner). Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise lter between this unit and the electrical outlet.

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

• To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always make sure to turn o the power on all your equipment before you make any connections.

Placement

• Using the unit near power ampliers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.

• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them o.

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very dierent, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface. You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

• Do not place containers or anything else containing liquid on top of this unit. Also, whenever any liquid has been spilled on the surface of this unit, be sure to promptly wipe it away using a soft, dry cloth.

Maintenance

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Repairs and Data

• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be backed up a computer, or written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

Additional Precautions

• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit’s memory on a computer.

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in the unit’s memory or a computer once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

• When disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.

• To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels.

Page 76

IMPORTANT NOTES

• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

Handling CDs / DVDs

• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside (encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs clean using a commercially available disc cleaner.

Grounding

• Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other objects, such as guitars. This is due to an innitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see gure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

Unsuitable places for connection

• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
