New Microphone Line from Roland

DR-80 C

Roland deepens its audio product line with the introduction of three new microphones -- two for the stage, one for the studio. The affordable DR-30 is ideal for amateurs and karaoke enthusiasts, while the high-end DR-50 and DR-80C are designed for professional singers and recording applications.

The DR-80C is a large-diaphragm studio mic (26mm diameter). It's built to handle high input levels and a wide dynamic range. A Low-Cut switch is provided for eliminating undesired low frequencies. The Pad switch allows high-input adjustment. A dedicated shock-mount holder is included.

The DR-30 is a handheld cardioid mic with shock-absorption for reducing handling noise. Its Silent-Switch design reduces power on/off pop; its power-switch lock prevents unintended operation.

The DR-50 is hyper-cardioid handheld mic with enhanced shock-absorption for unit protection and reduced handling noise. Its double-screen structure minimizes breath noise.

MSRP:

• DR-30: $129
• DR-50: $199
• DR-80C: $399
