2008 NAMM Show: Roland anounced the new CD-2e SD/CD recorder.

With high-performance stereo-speaker, stereo mic, and CD-R/RW drive built-in, the CD-2e offers out-of-the-box recording capability. Weighing in at less than 3 lbs (less than most laptops), measuring 2 inches thick, and having the ability to run on six AA batteries, the CD-2e is an extremely portable device.

The CD-2e comes equipped with a wireless remote for off-unit control of playback and recording, and an EASY GUIDE button steps first-time recording novices through operations with simple-to-follow instructions in six different languages.

The CD-2e can take up to 8GB SDHC memory cards for over 12 hours of recording time.

Additional options include the CB-CD2E semi-hard shell carrying bag and the CS-15R high-sensitive, omni-directional external stereo microphone.
