Amplier circuitries are classied A, AB, B, C, or D depending on
how the amplifying elements (transistors and/or vacuum tubes)
function. Ampliers that operate at 100% at all times using ample
voltage and current ow are dened as Class A amps, and are
characterized by pure sound with super-low distortion.
What is Class A circuitry?
Wide dynamic range with ultra-low noise.
The 12 VS PREAMP channels in STUDIO-CAPTURE deliver ample headroom up to +16 dBu.
Increasing the headroom in mic preamps typically results in problems with the signal-to-noise
ratio; however, with our latest power supply circuitry, we’re able to minimize noise levels while
providing a wider dynamic range. Each preamp’s input equivalent noise level is an astonishing
-125 dBu, a specication that ranks among the best mic preamps on the market. With huge
headroom and top-level sound quality, you can easily record sources with a wide dynamic range,
such as acoustic drums and percussion instruments.
High-quality digital compressors directly inherited from the V-Mixer line.
Each of the rst 12 analog inputs (Inputs 1 - 12) are equipped with high-performance digital
compressors featuring top-quality compression algorithms directly transplanted from Roland’s
V-Mixer range of professional mixing consoles. The compressors give you the ability to perform
a broad range of dynamics processes right at the input, from simply limiting excessive levels to
applying aggressive compression for effect. On/off, threshold adjustment, and other operations
can be performed from the front-panel display, and you can tweak these and other parameters
using the STUDIO-CAPTURE Control Panel software on your computer. STUDIO-CAPTURE
comes with numerous presets that have been optimized for specic applications; you can also
store up to 16 of your own presets in the unit and unlimited presets on your computer.
Meticulously designed circuitry for premium sound quality with no compromises.
STUDIO-CAPTURE has been carefully crafted from the ground up with premium sound quality as
the top priority. First, the analog circuits were designed to be as simple as possible, eliminating all
non-essential elements. For example, the design minimizes undesirable variations in the signal by
shortening the internal wiring distance between different components and circuit boards. In addition,
all parameters are digitally controlled to eliminate various negative factors that can affect the sound.
On top of this, we’ve completely segregated the analog and digital circuitry at the circuit-board level
and provided different power supplies for each board, which minimizes the noise and crosstalk that
can result from interference between circuits. This achieves a professional-level signal-to-noise ratio of
105 dB on the analog input channels, providing audio that is pure and clear with no unwanted noise.
Monitor Mixer function allows you to create four independent monitor mixes.
Equipped with Roland’s latest custom DSP chip, STUDIO-CAPTURE lets you create up to four
instances of two types of digital mixers (one type for input, the other for output) without burdening
your PC. You can mix the unit’s 16 input channels in different ways to create independent monitor
mixes for multiple performers, and route audio from your DAW to the 10 output channels any way
you like by assigning signals to any jack via the built-in patch bay. STUDIO-CAPTURE also comes
with a high-quality digital reverb with ve different algorithms, allowing you to apply DSP-powered
ambience to the performers’ monitor mixes as needed.
Simple and intuitive operation.
Featuring intuitive controls and a bright LCD, STUDIO-CAPTURE’s front panel
is designed for maximum ease of use in your recording projects, with simple,
hands-on operability that’s only available with hardware. All input channels have
dedicated selection buttons that let you directly access parameters for each
channel, plus easy-to-view, ve-segment LED level meters for checking input
levels on all channels at a glance.
Newly designed graphical Control Panel software.
The included STUDIO-CAPTURE Control Panel software has greatly evolved
over previous versions in the CAPTURE family, both in performance and ease
of use. It provides dedicated windows for controlling the mic preamps, monitor
mixers, patch bay, and other functions, and allows you to ne-tune a variety of
parameters within a clean graphical interface on your computer. There’s also
an editor for the compressors, which displays compression curves and lets you
easily control the numerous compressor parameters for every channel.
* The STUDIO-CAPTURE Control Panel supports 10-point multi-touch gestures in Windows 8.
(A touchscreen display compatible with Windows 8 is required for multi-touch gestures.)
12-channel mic preamp section equipped with VS PREAMPS,
respected worldwide for their exceptional sound.
STUDIO-CAPTURE features 16 inputs and 10 outputs* in a very compact enclosure, allowing you
to execute large multitrack recording sessions anywhere. Inputs 1 – 12 are equipped with Roland’s
VS PREAMPs, which are widely acclaimed for their transparent, pristine sound. Developed from
the same Class A preamp circuitry found in our V-Mixer series of professional mixing consoles,
these premium-quality mic preamps deliver an accurate, neutral sound across the entire frequency
spectrum, with no bias toward any particular frequency band. The four balanced analog inputs that
are not equipped with VS PREAMPs (Inputs 13 – 16) have trim adjustments for -20, -10, and +4 dB
levels, allowing you to connect a wide range of outboard equipment, from
synthesizers to live-level studio devices.
* 8-in/4-out operation at 192 kHz sample rate.
STUDIO-CAPTURE’s professional specs cover
a wide range of recording applications.
• Supports sample rates up to 192 kHz for master-quality recording on multiple channels
• Use two units* to expand your studio with up to 32 inputs and 18 outputs; two STUDIO-CAPTURE
units synchronize perfectly simply by connecting them together with one coaxial digital cable
* When using two STUDIO-CAPTURE units together, sample rates of 96 kHz or higher cannot be used.
• Two headphone jacks with independent front-panel level knobs
• Typical headphone output level increased by +6 dBu for a total level of +16 dBu,
ensuring rock-solid monitoring even when recording in high-decibel situations
• The XLR monitor output jacks feature a MONITOR OUT LEVEL switch, which lets you bypass
the front-panel volume control circuitry if desired
• 2U rackmount ears included

The term “latency” refers to the time delay that occurs between
the moment a sound goes into the computer audio system and the
moment it comes out. When this time delay is too long, it becomes
a major problem for musicians, making it difcult or impossible for
them to monitor their sound through DAW software.

State-of-the-art VS STREAMING driver ensures super-low latency
and superior audio stability.
VS STREAMING–Roland’s proprietary audio streaming technology–has taken another evolutionary
step forward in STUDIO-CAPTURE. With a newly developed custom DSP chip and seamless
integration of hardware and software, VS STREAMING achieves extremely clean, reliable audio
performance with superior stability and lower latency that ever before–even with buffer sizes as
small as 32 samples (less than 1 ms at 44.1/48 kHz) when using the ASIO driver. This allows you
to work on recording sessions with no concern for latency issues, even if you decide to monitor
performances through your DAW.

Unique AUTO-SENS feature for automatically setting optimal
input levels on all 16 input channels.
AUTO-SENS dramatically improves efciency in your recording sessions, automatically setting the
optimum recording levels by analyzing input sources before your record. You can set the maximum
upper limit of the AUTO-SENS recording level setting between -12 – 0 dBFS in 1 dB steps. AUTO-
SENS is particularly useful when capturing sources that have a wide dynamic range (such as acoustic
drums and vocals), and also helps reduce your workload when recording with multiple mics. You can
operate AUTO-SENS via STUDIO-CAPTURE’s front panel, or remotely on
your computer with the STUDIO-CAPTURE Control Panel software.
