I never said it was the "best" place to record.  I just ran a little test to see where unity should be.

That is fair... I just wont go over 45, and kind of be screwed on shows (like last Sat) where 20 is the highest I can go to keep the deck from showing the clip light

I'm amazing that your setup is that "hot"

I have the v1.05 installed for quite a while now, and never had any problems..
Think it's wise the downgrade again then..

Anyone knows where to find the v1.04??

First time I upgraded to the v1.05, all kinds of weird things happened to my unit ( and to lots of others users), so I downgraded back to v1.04. Two months ago I gave v1.05 another try. Everything works fine now. I'll stay with v1.05 at this time.

Um... huh?  Why install 1.04 if you're not having problems with 1.05?  I've been using 1.05 along with a Trascend 16gb card for about 6 months now without any problems.

It's simply wasteful.
The 'pre' makes the signal hot.
Then the HR has to attenuate to normal levels.
It only helps noise.

I'd really like to hear some concert recordings made using the Edirol R-09HR's internal mic.  I found two at Dime:

Neil Young
http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=209626

Patti Smith
http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=207820

Does anyone know of any other such recordings?  Any comments/recommendations are also appreciated.  Thanks.
I recorded Boston using the Edirol's internal mics.  But it was the R09, not the HR.

What are the windscreen options for the HR?  I found the Edirol OPR09HRW screen http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Roland-OPR09HRW-WIND-SHIELD-FOR-R09HR?sku=580417
But it looks pretty big and goofy.  Are there any other options available?

No less big and goofy, the Road 'Dead Kitten' fits...and is much more effective than the foam thing...

Fits over most of the pocket recorders, has an elasticised opening, also over the NT4 foam...

Curious why you are looking for external power for the R-09HR.  I get 9+ hours on a pair of 2700mAh Sanyos recording at 24/44.1, which is good enough for a full day festival (unless Bonnaroo), and bring two pairs and you're set for the weekend.  It's the most convenient IMO and rock solid as well.

I can't speak for the original poster but IME, NiMH rechargeables are not reliable...especially once they are used for awhile. I do consider myself to have good "battery hygeine" so to speak. I take care of them properly. So I am forced to either wing it and hope the NiMH batteries don't die (but they will eventually) or go the external route...which I am currently in the process of doing with a LIon.

Also, I'd be curious to know how much time you get with the 2700mAh @ 24/96?

Never tried 24/96, maybe I'll run a test tonight.

But in terms of battery types, I've read/heard that NiMH are more reliable than Lithium ion types, and unlike Lithium batteries, they do not continually lose capacity every year.  I think the main choice here is NiMH versus alkalines, which will be the most rock solid.  Lithium AAs will probably give you the best battery life and reliability.  Been using NiMH for my R-09HR (and R-09 previously) for over a year and never had a battery fail on me.  I'm sure it'll happen eventually though.  :P

I've been using mine for well over 2 years now....perhaps that is part of my problem. I've had failures twice.

I would like to try a better charger (like the LaCrosse BC-900) to see if that breathes some new life into my NIMH AA's. I did get one of those multi-voltage packs that I want to try out also...need to make a cable for it though.
