Topic: Settings question about R-09 re: difficult recording situation

[Mr.Fantasy]

I have been recording my college lectures, and most of the time I am in what I would call a small to medium sized room with high ceilings. These recordings have been great...well beyond the quality necessary for what I am doing.

I have all controls on the back of the R-09 just like they came in the factory. The left column of controls are pushed left, and the right column are pushed right.

My question is this.

In some of my other classes, the room is larger, there are more people, and my teacher moves around moderately (not all over the place, she just dose not stay at the podium)....

.....how am I going to best record in such a situation....?

I have already got my recording level at something like 25 (out of thirty I believe  )......does anyone have any advice/experience with this unit in these circumstances....?


Thanks so much...

Since I already have the input power nearly maxed out....that the only thing I could do now would be to either maximize my placement of the R-09 in the classroom...so that I get the most sound possible....

......or use some sort of external mics and a pre......

......if not general advice, would anyone agree with my assessment?
