This delightfully compact recorder is as small as it can be without being so small that it’s fiddly and unusable. The Roland R-07 is available in black, red or white and incorporates two fixed microphone capsules behind protective bars and grilles. This is a recorder that’s just perfect for broadcast journalists or musicians who simply want to get the best-quality sound they can in a convenient device that’s highly portable and affordable. Verdict: The Roland R-07 audio recorder ticks most of the boxes that a broadcast journalist, podcaster or musician might want, except perhaps for advanced overdubbing functions. The Roland R-07 offers an affordable alternative to Sony’s amazing PCM-D100 and would make an ideal recorder for broadcast journalists and podcasters who miss the late and much-lamented Sony PCM-M10.
