Roland AR series of recorder/players are widely installed in train stations, airports, shopping malls, amusement parks, broadcast stations and museums, serving a variety of capacities such as broadcast announcements in airports, TV, radio, navigation guidance in shopping malls, sound design for amusement rides, and automated productions in event venues and showrooms.

Key features:

The AR-3000SD offers a new programmable timer and LAN control with web server functionality enabling settings and control from anywhere. It allows the user to select the optimal playback schemes for the application or system setup, providing control from the input connector or RS-232 port on the back.

There are five different playback types that include direct, program, binary, computer and MIDI as well as loop and repeat options.

The AR-3000SD can be an integral component of a larger installed system. Improved external controls of the AR can be achieved using switch-based audio guidance, sensor-activated guide narration, computer, phrase playback and timecode using MIDI or control over a network.
