Topic: Edirol R09HR

[powermonkey]

I've used mine a few times now. i'm no expert, and I've not done any rigourous testing, but there are a few samples around in this thread that should help give you a vague idea.

The HR sounds great to me,  a couple of my recordings with it are easily the best I've made yet. How much of that is down to improvements in the recorder, or down to recording in 24/96 rather than 24/48 I don't know.

Does anybody know if the ADC in the HR is the same as in the original R9?
or, if a company like www.blacklionaudio.com could do an upgrade of the ADC/DAC stuff? i.e. the digital clock?

is the-09 being discontinued in favor of the HR?

I hear this from sound professionals and just wanted to see what people have heard.

Yes. There will be a period of changeover when both are available to run down stocks. Same happened for the Edirol R1 vs R09

I've made two recordings with the R-09HR now, and I have to say I love it. I had never used (or seen) one of the previous models but found it very easy to operate.

I did not test the built-in mics since I don't have any plans to actually use them, but ran it from my Nbox and everything worked just as I had hoped.

Latest R09HR sample:

Dirty Pretty Things from the Astoria in London, last night. Mics > HR, ran at 45, peaked at round about -4, -5.

Pineapple job, thought I'd surely be squashed on several occasions, but seems to have turned out nicely.



mp3'd because I'm in a hurry to get to work.

Need digi-out?   You mention this and I am not aware of its implications.  As I said, I am not acquainted with this recording business.
Could you please give me a short meaning of the term. 

The R09 has a combined analog and digital (optical) out on the headphone jack. The HR does not, only analog. It's rather a moot point for 99% of users as they get the file digitally by copying over USB to a PC. I suppose some people are using the digi-out as a live feed to other gear?

Im a newbie but whats the use of digital output when You can pull off memory card and connect it via usb card reader?

I use the optical SPDIF out for playback quite frequently.  I gave a digital patch out of it to someone else.. once.

With already a few people in this forum with a R-09 HR in their hands, would any one of them to be so kind and maybe post some silent recordings ? 1 minute samples at 24bits 48khz would be enough (16bit and other sampling rates are welcome too)

1. Internal mics (the clock ticking recording example would be fine)
2. Line in recording with no signal present


Thanks at lot !

I posted a few ticking clock internal mic samples, they ought to be lurking around on this thread somewhere. Can do some line-in samples at the weekend.

Is it possible to run this new recorder with 'standard' rechargable 1.2V/800mAh battery's??
Or should I go with the 2500mAh battery's offered at the SP-site??
