Audio Equipment: Audio Recorders

Audio Recorders

We have two types of digital audio recorders: Roland Edirol R-05 'Wav Recorder' or the Zoom H4N recorder that we circulate to everyone in the Hampshire Community. They are similar recorders in value and features, but the Roland tends to have a simpler menu structure and is easier to quickly understand, while the Zoom accepts XLR inputs and is geared toward more advanced operators. 


Select the above tabs to learn more about each.  
Roland Edirol Wav Recorder R-05 is our basic audio recorder that features onboard stereo condenser mics, intuitive menus, and simple operation that any community member can borrow.

  • 2 AA rechargeable batteries (that we charge between every circulation)
