Topic: Edirol R09HR

Hi,
I would think it'd be about the same as the R09,
my R09 said Made in Japan, in the pictures it said
Made in China. We can always hope.

thanks

Calculating the US$ price using the exchange rate can be a bit misleading but can be a good estimate. I'm sure it will be less than $500 because US R09 vs UK R09 is not really doubled.

If it is over $400 it is expensive for a recorder without digital-in. So the Sony D50 and MT II are still good all rounded recorders considering the price with digital in option.

anyone seen this listed as a pre-order yet?

UK-store....shipping end of march.

$406...no huge increase from R-09 starting price

I think that is 259 British Pounds Sterling, not Euros, so the conversion is American dollars is about $525.

So this may be more than it's older brother.

My bad. I've got euros on my mind.

Red light on top indicates infared remote to me, which means line of sight (not in pocket).

I'd really like to know more about this aspect myself. A remote control would really help with discrete recording but infrared would suck.

A little video on it. I don't understand why the guy never pointed the mic over at the speaker.

Good news. In the UK the R09HR is going to cost less than the original R09.
I assume the same is going to happen is the US ( hopefully)

FWIW: I note the rep here said the headphone out doubled as a digital out.

Yah, my thoughts exactly. The dollar is at an all time low against the Yen. Our hobby in the states is getting more expensive because hardly any of our gear originates from here, always overseas.

+T Thanks for the link - Hope it does have a digi out and if so hope it isn't Optical (but I would doubt this).

Well, you may be right.
But I think the final price will be less than we're assuming.

Well, the remote doesn't look like it shows levels, so if not, then who cares? It's useless... (regardless of line of sight.)
