Experience with R-09HR and CA 9100

[Dede2002]

I'd really like to hear from anyone running this gear about Rec Levels on the R-09HR.
Months ago I've heard that the best set up would be like 35 on the R-09HR using the CA 9100 to provide the rest of the gain. Right now, I've been told that it's best to set the
R-09HR at 50.
Comments? Thanks in advance

So basically what is unity on the R-09HR?

Was always a mystery on the R-09.

Thanks for your response.
Like I said, the last info I have is the 50 Rec Level. I´m not saying I don't trust this info, of course. I just happen to find it strange: I've taped most of my show using 53, 55 or 57 Rec Level, which would make a preamp useless in my case.
Still searching for the magic set up.

I ran at 42 on the one show I've done with this setup & had the 9100 all the way up & got good results.

In the R-09 thread I think most people were saying it was '8' on the R-09, though hardly a consensus.  I haven't noticed any difference with the level at 8 or 30 though.

Not running that exact rig but...

I ran my newly acquired R-09HR the other night and went with the suggested 50 setting.  I ran AKG 460 > w-mod+ UA-5 > R-09HR (line in) and my L/R levels on the UA-5 seemed to be in about the same spot (1/2 - 2/3 volume) as before running into DAT, I think it turned out really nice sounding.  This will be the main question when I call the marketing director at Roland back to give feedback and will report to the board here what he says about unity.

Well, that would be fantastic 
Please let us know.
Thanks

I have been using the default 40 for field recording with a MixPre.
I used to use between 10-12 on the R09 original.

Thanks for your response. Yes, I've read that when it was posted. 
I just want to know about other tapers experiences with this set up (rec level 50 on the R-09HR) and other set ups.
Take care.
