Where did you get the R9HR in Toronto? I'm guessing Long and McQuade?

Just got off the phone with sweetwater, they will match the minidisco.com price with discount.

I'll post some pictures of the r09hr's innards by the end of the week.

Thanks for the heads up on the minidisco discount. +T

You butcher!   

No fear, eh?

I am just going to lift the cover off to see the how the input jacks are mounted.

If it's the same as the R09 it's going back.

New HR sample:

Ida Maria Live at Kings College London, last night: 24/96.

CA11's > R09HR (ran at i/p of 45). Bumped up 3.9db in Audacity and chopped, then flac'd. I love the sound of these drums.

When I checked it about five minutes after the show, my expression was much like this:

Is there a definite positive difference in audio quality recording with internal mics on the new Edirol?

Got my R-09HR today :) Nice little recorder. It definitely feels more robust than the R-09. I'll take pictures some other day comparing it to the R-09, unless someone else wants to before I get around to it.

I did a couple quick tests, one being an ADC test (will post the link here when the files are done uploading). While I don't know how to measure unity gain, I did a quick test on the gain structure. I recorded a sine wave from my iMac > recorder line-in. At the particular output level of my iMac, we get the following:

R-09 (level, peak) (reference standard at supposed unity gain level 8):
8, -24.2dB
13, -19.6 (default input gain)

R-09HR (level, peak) (default is 40):
40, -21.5dB
39, -22
38, -22.5
37, -23
36, -23.5
35, -24
34, -24.5
33, -25

I did not run further down or up to see if this "half dB per gain click" continues to hold true. According to this, levels 35 or 34 would best approximate the R-09 level 8. For my ADC test, I chose level 35.

I am new to the concept of unity gain (well in the testing sense).  I always run my R09 at 8 and fix anything in post.

Why are you saying 34-35 is the best spot for the R09HR?

I am not a sound engineer, but I do believe what people tell me here on this board, so I am kind of looking for the "tell me like I am a 2nd grader" definition (but no book long level is required).

I'm not saying that it's the best spot. I'm saying that it best matches level 8 on the R-09 (closest to the same dB value for my line-in sine wave test).

Someone with some know-how will have to do some tests to figure out the unity gain. I have no idea how to accomplish that.

I got it, thanks.

I have a show on Sunday, and I am contemplating running the R-09HR vs the R09, but I would need to know where to set it LOL

Bottom line for me, I just buy what my ears like, but when it comes to sound engineering, I leave it to people with that experience here to help me along
