The Rycote 046 011 Portable Audio Recorder Kit is a suspension, windshield and grip system for the Roland R-26 portable recorder. With the huge leaps in functionality now offered by portable digital recorders their use in sound capture has become increasingly critical especially on HDSLR based productions. Rycote have tailored a solution for the Roland R-26 that successfully addresses the inherent handling, vibration and wind noise issues that can affect a recording.

Utilising Rycote's patented Lyre technology the suspension has been specifically devised to accommodate the Roland R-26 by attaching to the 1 / 4" female thread on the underside of the recorder. In conjunction with the included Rycote 1 / 4" to 3 / 8" Swivel Adaptor (047 307) the suspended recorder can be mounted on a boom pole, microphone stand, camera hot shoe or hand held by using the soft-grip Extension Handle supplied as part of the kit (037 301). The orientation can be adjusted 180- enabling the recorder's microphones to be pointed directly at the sound source. For wind noise suppression the kit includes the Roland R-26 variant of the Rycote Mini Windjammer (055 419).
