It probably isn't much bigger than the Marantz, but it looks more like a table-top solution than a portable solution you can put in its case and throw over your shoulder. It has the XLR inputs and the compact flash media, which are probably of the top five features I'm looking for. I guess the main thing I don't like is all the other stuff it has that I don't reall want..the effects, the burner, pitch contoller, all the bells and whistles marketing it as an educational tool, rather than just a plain and simple digital recorder. Dimensions of the portable Marantz: a.. Width............................................................ 10.4 in. (264 mm) a.. Height.................................................................. 2 in. (55 mm) a.. Depth.............................................................. 7.3 in. (185 mm) a.. Weight....................................................... 2 lbs. 14 oz.(1.3 Kg) Roland CD2 dimensions: Dimensions W x D x H: 12 x 9-11/16 x 2-15/16 in. (not much bigger) The Roland is about $695, the Marantz is roughly the same. This page has these two and a few more for comparison: http://www.janetdavismusic.com/digitalrec.html Kris ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Walker" <billwalker@baymoon.com> To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 1:08 PM Subject: RE: Alesis Masterlink on Sales via eBay > No, I meant the CD2, How big is too big, this thing is not much bigger > than > the R1, has preamps and would allow you to do everything you want to do > and > more, Its half the size of your masterlink, about the same size as a > standard marantz recorder. > Bill > > -----Original Message----- > From: Kris Hartung [mailto:khartung@cableone.net] > Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 12:04 PM > To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > Subject: Re: Alesis Masterlink on Sales via eBay > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "William Walker" billwalker@baymoon.com > >> The new stereo recorder from Roland looks great, records to CFC or CD, >in >> non compressed wave files and has a couple of decent mic preamos as >well. >> Bill > > Must be one of these three: > > http://www.rolandus.com/products/productlist.aspx?ParentId=109 > > The R1 only offers 137 minutes of recording, and it doesn't appear to > support a memory card of any sort for swappping them out and archival. >The > CD-2 is too damn big, and I don't need a CD-R burner.
