Portable digital recording in an even smaller, more affordable package. Click to enlarge.

Stereo electret condenser mics for high-sensitivity recordings, plus an external mic input.

Adjustable mic level and line input.

Musicians will appreciate the playback functions of the DR-07, including the ability to loop MP3s and slow them down without changing the pitch. External microphones and sources can be recorded through the mic/line input, and the recorder offers analog limiting, low cut and auto gain setting for great-sounding audio. But for great-sounding recordings, the compact DR-07 is all you need.

Built-in Mic
The DR-07 features a pair of built-in stereo electret condenser mics, for instant, high-sensitivity stereo recordings. Thanks to the adjustable input level, it's a great choice for quiet or loud applications, from simple songwriting with a guitar to recording a metal band rehearsal.

SD and SD-HC Support
Record to SD cards (including the included 2GB card) or add a little more recording time with high-capacity SD-HC cards up to 32GB.

Simple File Transfer
Using the USB 2.0 jack, file transfer is a breeze. Simply connect to your PC and drag-and-drop.

Mic/Line Input
Use an external microphone or line input device using the 3.5mm line and mic inputs.

The 3.5mm line output works with headphones or for sending to stereos/monitors/etc.

Keep It Clean
The DR-07 has plenty of features to ensure your audio doesn't end up a distorted mess. The switchable low cut filter helps avoid rumble during field applications or recording bass-heavy material, the analog limiter keeps the dynamics in check, and the auto gain setting helps avoid preamp distortion from the get-go.

MP3 or WAV Recording
The DR-07 writes WAV files at 44.1 or 48kHz, 16 or 24-bit formats. But you don't always need that for a scratch practice recording, grabbing an interview or lecture, etc. MP3 file recording lets you record directly to MP3 format, from 32kbps to 320 kbps, thus saving you a wealth of space on that SD card.

Variable-Speed Audition
Slow down playback without changing the pitch--handy for learning or studying passages, transcribing interviews, or other uses.

Ultra-Portable
The DR-07 is ready to go anywhere, since it's powered by two AA batteries (you can add the optional PS-P520 power adapter to power from a wall outlet).

It weighs just 4.4 ounces--with batteries--and is 2.2 x 5.3 x 1.1 inches in size.

Cakewalk MA-15D Digital Stereo Micro Monitors - Wood Grain Feature

• Pair of 15w+15w powered desktop monitors100 mm (4") woofers & 50 mm (2") tweeters with 2-way bass reflex enclosure
• Genuine wood cabinets Keep pristine digital sound
• Up to 24-bit/192 kHz, with optical and coaxial S/PDIF inputs
• 3 input sources: 1/8" line-in, RCA(l/r), and optical and coaxial S/PDIF Bass enhancer Independent bass, treble
• Magnetically-shielded Sub woofer output for extended low frequencies

The Cakewalk MA-15D Digital Stereo Monitors are ideal for a number of professional and consumer uses. They are great options as studio reference monitors or as a second set of monitor speakers to use in a surround sound configuration. The MA-15D's offer a wide-range spectrum and crystal-clear audio reproduction. The MA-15Ds feature a built-in Bass Enhancer, which operates on psycho acoustic principles that converts low frequencies into a series of overtones the human ear cannot distinguish from the original low frequencies. This allows the listener to perceive bass frequencies outside of the normal range of the speaker cone, without overdriving the woofer. With the Bass Enhancer the MA-15Ds offer a strong low-end in a very compact set of reference speakers. In addition these Cakewalk studio monitors offer a Sub-Out port, to connect a sub woofer. The MA-15Ds accept input from digital sources through either the coaxial or optical S/PDIF ports, supporting up to 24-bit/192kHz sources. With this, you can connect digital sources directly to your speakers, keeping an unadulterated audio signal all the way to the power amplifier in your speakers. Hear exactly what you have recorded! The Cakewalk MA-15Ds offer conveniently placed Volume and Tone controls. While a large studio setup typically uses a mixer to control output level to the speakers, compact desktop setups can rarely afford the space a mixer requires.
