Using the Unit Safely
WARNING
WARNING
Make sure you always have the unit
placed so it is level and sure to remain
stable. Never place it on stands that
could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.
Immediately turn the power off,
remove the AC adaptor from the
outlet, and request servicing by
your retailer, the nearest Roland
Service Center, or an authorized
Roland distributor, as listed on the
“Information”page when:
Be sure to use only the AC adaptor
supplied with the unit. Also, make
sure the line voltage at the installation
matches the input voltage specified
on the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC
adaptors may use a different polarity,
or be designed for a different voltage,
so their use could result in damage,
malfunction, or electric shock.
•
The AC adaptor, the power-supply
cord, or the plug has been damaged;
or
•
•
If smoke or unusual odor occurs
Objects have fallen into, or liquid has
been spilled onto the unit; or
Use only the attached power-supply
cord. Also, the supplied power cord
must not be used with any other
device.
•
•
The unit has been exposed to rain (or
otherwise has become wet); or
The unit does not appear to operate
normally or exhibits a marked
change in performance.
Do not excessively twist or bend the
power cord, nor place heavy objects
on it. Doing so can damage the cord,
producing severed elements and short
circuits. Damaged cords are fire and
shock hazards!
In households with small children, an
adult should provide supervision until
the child is capable of following all the
rules essential for the safe operation
of the unit.
This unit, either alone or in
combination with an amplifier and
headphones or speakers, may be
capable of producing sound levels
that could cause permanent hearing
loss. Do not operate for a long period
of time at a high volume level, or at
a level that is uncomfortable. If you
experience any hearing loss or ringing
in the ears, you should immediately
stop using the unit, and consult an
audiologist.
Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
Do not force the unit’s power-supply
cord to share an outlet with an
unreasonable number of other devices.
Be especially careful when using
extension cords—the total power used
by all devices you have connected
to the extension cord’s outlet must
never exceed the power rating
(watts/amperes) for the extension
cord. Excessive loads can cause the
insulation on the cord to heat up and
eventually melt through.

What You Can Do with the R-26
Record acoustic instruments
By using external mics in conjunction with the internal mics, you can record four channels
simultaneously, allowing you to also record the reverberation of the room or the overall resonance
of a grand piano.
Reference
Record a band
Even a high-volume band in a rehearsal studio can be recorded clearly. You can let the R-26
automatically detect the optimal input level while you rehearse your performance. It’s even
possible to record a high-quality WAV file for CD production while simultaneously recording a
compact MP3 file for distribution.

What You Can Do with the R-26
Record outdoors
By changing the directionality of the internal mics, you can make pinpoint recordings of
distant sounds or capture a broad spread of sound. Since up to six channels can be recorded
simultaneously, mics with different response can be recorded on separate channels, allowing you
to choose the best recording later.
Reference
Record concerts
By using the internal mics and external mics in combination to record four channels
simultaneously, you can record the sounds of the audience and the reverberation of the location
at the same time.
* Please do not use the R-26 at concerts where recording is prohibited.

When using speakers
Connecting Headphones
or Speakers
* Once the connections have been
completed , turn on power to your
various devices in the order specified. By
turning on devices in the wrong order,
you risk causing malfunction and/or
damage to speakers and other devices.
Here’s how to listen to the playback
through headphones or speakers you’ve
connected.
1. Minimize the volume of the speakers
you’ll be connecting, and turn off
their power
2. Connect the speakers
You’ll need to use speakers that have a
built-in amplifier.
Use an audio cable to connect the R-26’s
PHONES jack to the line input jacks of your
speaker system.
4. Raise the R-26’s [VOLUME]
5. Switch on power to your speakers,
and gradually increase the volume to
an appropriate level
MEMO
• No sound is played from the R-26’s
preview monitor when headphones or
speakers are connected to the PHONES
jack.
* To prevent malfunction and/or damage
to speakers or other devices, always
turn down the volume, and turn off the
power on all devices before making any
connections.
• Before switching the power on/off,
always be sure to turn the volume
down. Even with the volume turned
down, you might hear some sound
when switching the power on/off.
However, this is normal and does not
indicate a malfunction.
* This unit is equipped with a protection
circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds)
after power up is required before the
unit will operate normally.
* Howling could be produced depending
on the location of microphones relative
to speakers. This can be remedied by:
1. Changing the orientation of the
microphone(s).
2. Relocating microphone(s) at a greater
distance from speakers.
3. Lowering volume levels.

recording source. Input level is an additional fine adjustment applied to the signal
after it’s been adjusted by input sensitivity, in order to optimize it for recording.
* Adjust the input sensitivity in the following situations.
• The level meters don’t move sufficiently even when the knob is in the maximum
position.
• The PEAK indicator lights even when the knob is in the minimum position.

Using the R-26
This section introduces how you can use the R-26 in various situations, and describes various
examples of appropriate recording settings.
Recording an Acoustic Instrument
Recording vocals, acoustic guitar, or wind instruments
Using the internal mics
When using the internal mics, point the mics directly at the instrument to be recorded, taking
care that the recording is not skewed toward the left or right channel. Placing the mics near the
instrument (close miking) will create a clear and bright-sounding recording. Placing the mics
farther away (distant miking) will create a more mellow-sounding recording. You can use the
separately sold mic stand adaptor to attach the R-26 to a commercially available mic stand.

Recording
Recording a grand piano
An acoustic piano emits sound from every part of itself, and the tone quality of the recording
will differ depending on where the mics are placed. This is because different locations will have a
different balance between the vibration of the strings, the resonance of the body, the reflections
of the sounding board, and the sound of the hammers striking the strings. In order to record a
good-sounding balance of these elements, it’s important to try recording from various distances
and directions in order to find the position that’s best for your needs.
Using the internal mics
To capture a good balance of the overall instrument’s resonance, place the R-26 at a slight
distance from the S-shaped bend in the grand piano’s body. By changing the angle at which the
mic is pointed, you can adjust the balance between the sound of the strings and the sound from
the soundboard. By changing the distance, you can adjust the balance between the attack and
the resonant decay.

Recording a Band
When setting the input level, have the band play the loudest section of the song while you adjust
the level. If you use the AUTO SENS function (p. 46), the input sensitivity will be automatically set to
the optimal point, and a recommended setting for the input level will also be displayed.
Using the internal mics
In a practice room, the instruments are typically placed around the edge of the room facing into
the center. In order to record all instruments at a good balance, place the mic in the center of the
room, at approximately table-top height to get the best sound. Placing the mic on the floor will
produce a muffled sound with excessive low frequencies; placing the mic at a high location will
fail to capture the lows, producing a thin sound.

Recording Outdoors
By adjusting the directionality of the internal mic mode, you can capture the overall soundscape
or pinpoint just the desired sound. You can also take advantage of the R-26’s ability to
simultaneously record six channels, and record different types of internal mics and external mics
on separate channels.
If you turn PRE-REC (p. 34) on, recording will start two seconds earlier than the moment you actually

* What is binaural recording?
Binaural recording is a method of recording that assumes the playback will be heard through
headphones. By placing the recording mics very close to the human ear, this method allows
the acoustic experience at the time of recording to be reproduced with a high degree of
realism when heard through headphones or earphones. If you use headphones or earphones
to listen to the playback of sound recorded using binaural recording, you’ll enjoy a very
realistic 3D auditory experience that cannot be experienced with stereo recording.
Six-channel recording
You can record different types of internal mics on separate channels, and then choose the most
suitable recording later.
