The BR-1180/1180CD includes a built-in speaker modeling feature, which allows you to reproduce the special characteristics of a variety of different monitor speakers. Speaker modeling can be used to compare the sound of recorded songs through various monitor speakers and when adjusting the balance between tracks, making it a very useful tool for finishing up your songs with better mixdowns.
The BR-1180/1180CDs speaker modeling feature has been designed so it offers the best response when used with Rolands DS-90A or DS-50A speakers as monitor speakers, connected digitally. Be aware that you may be unable to achieve the proper effect with the speaker modeling feature when using other monitors.
