Product Description

With high-quality SD recording and a host of great features for music practice and study, the Roland SD-2u Recorder is a powerful tool for educators, students, and hobbyists. A built-in stereo mic lets you capture audio anywhere, while versatile audio input options allow you to connect your own external mics, electronic musical instruments, and other devices with pro-level results. Also onboard are many training essentials, including high-fidelity key and speed adjustment, improved Center Cancel for creating minus-one tracks, and the Center Focus for isolating vocals and instruments. Compact and ready to travel, the SD-2u is the ideal all-in-one solution for audio recording, learning music and languages, and much more.

Learn more about the SD-2U SD Recorder with this video from Roland:


ALL-IN-ONE Convenience

With its portable size and ability to run on battery power, the SD-2u is ready to travel anywhere, giving you high-quality recording and editing in one standalone unit. The built-in stereo mic makes audio capture easy, while high-performance stereo speakers provide convenient sound playback of your recordings, WAV music files, lesson material, and more.

Quality Recording, Intuitive Operation

The SD-2u records CD-quality audio direct to widely available SD/SDHC memory cards. It's also super-simple for anyone to operate thanks to the Easy Guide feature, which provides clear onscreen instructions that guide you through various operations. Easy Guide covers recording and overdubbing functions, creating minus-one tracks for practice and karaoke, setting proper input levels, and more. You can even choose among six different languages for the display: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, or Japanese.

Connect External Mics and Devices

While it's designed for pro results as a standalone unit, the SD-2u also provides connections for integrating external devices to suit various applications. Two XLR/TRS combo jacks allow you to connect your own mics (with phantom power available if needed), including a stereo field-recording mic such as the CS-15RS. There's also a stereo mini-mic jack with Plug In Power, plus stereo RCA LINE IN jacks for connecting an instrument, music player, or another audio source.

Essential Training Tools

The SD-2u is equipped with powerful features for manipulating audio playback, providing useful tools for building music skills, learning languages, transcribing spoken-word audio, and more. You can independently adjust the speed and key with exceptional audio quality, perfect for slowing down passages to learn difficult parts or changing the key of music to suit your voice. Use A-B Repeat to play audio sections over and over, and turn on Center Cancel to create minus-one tracks for practice and karaoke fun. There's also a recently developed Center Focus feature, which isolates center-located sounds in music tracks to make them easier to hear and learn.

Carrying Case and More

The optional CB-CD2E Carrying Case gives you durable protection while transporting the SD-2u, plus handy storage pockets for accessories like batteries, extra SD cards, the AC adaptor, and the remote control. If you're looking for similar features in a device that can also play and burn CDs, check out the SD-2u's cousin, the CD-2u SD/CD Recorder.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

4. We make returns super easy

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
