Usage examples
Playback devices at public facilities
If the flash start system is configured by connecting the RC-20, playback of routine sound sources such as start bells and announcements for leaving is possible. It is possible to play back fixed sound sources with less time lag than standby with MD media, etc. There is not rotating mechanism, so sound sources can be used frequently for a long time without trouble.

Playback system for event sites such as wedding halls
Flash start playback is convenient by connecting the optional RC-20. For situations such as when you want BGM to start when a bride and groom enter a hall, or when effect sounds are written onto media, flash start playback allows for sound sources to be played back without time lag.

Recording and creating meeting minutes
Since the SS-R100 records WAV and MP3 files into conventional SD/SDHC cards, so it is possible to hand a copy to the worker who will create meeting minutes. When creating meeting minutes, monitoring by headphones without connecting to external devices is also practical. By connecting the optional RC-3F, it is possible to perform controls such as playback, stop, and skip back using your foot while performing work such as writing or typing on a computer.
