Topic: Edirol R09HR

[gmm6797]

Why not just use standard Energizer 2500mah batteries you can buy at Wal-Mart/Target/etc?  That is what I use in my R09 and I get way more time than there space on a 4gb memory card (running at 24/48)

With a UA-5 and no digi-in on the R09HR I was wondering if I would take a dual RCA > 1/8" stereo mini cable... RCA outs of a UA-5 > Line-in on the R09HR?

Anyone running a UA-5 into the R09HR? Bad idea? I know the RCAs won't be balanced and dare I say as "clean" as running optical out to the h120 digi-in for example.

Thanks in advance.

Why distrust the A/D of the HR?

I run V3 > custom twin XLR-1/8" stereo mini > R-09.  Never had a problem.

Sweetwater apparently has these in stock and ready to ship.

Fullcompass says they will receive their shipment on June 5th and ship out immediately.  This I heard directly from one of their reps by phone yesterday...

Used my HR a couple of times. First time at a god awful sounding Ladytron show which yielded good but not great results (that and I was too close).

2nd attempt was last week at the E Neubauten show in London / Kentish Town Forum. Great rec (literally in front of board). Taped 24/48 and rec. level 14. Only issue being a rather echoey vocal that the venue produced. The instrumentation sounded sublime.

Ran it with SP-CMC-8's and a SP BB too (set at 95).

Probably the best rec. I've done. Missed Ministry this weekend due to work commitments, but will be taping Yazoo next week at Manchester/Apollo. Taping next to a friend who is using the R-09 and also a pre amp, so should be interesting to go head to head and see what he pulls with the 'old faithful' R-09.

As an aside, the 5 switches on the back are a royal pain in the ass. All have been set in place - covered -(except 'Hold' naturally) with tape to avoid any problems in the dark at gigs. Why the 'Hold' couldn't be on the side is beyond me.

Also, there seems to be a OSD menu version of 'AGC/Limiter' and also a switch on the back too. I'm presuming that the switch on the back is a manual override ?

Anyone ?

How useful is the wireless remote? What is the usable range for the remote?

I'm thinking I could set the R-09HR for a SBD patch, go to my seat, and start the recording from my seat with the remote.

Why not record at the max 24/96 since it's available on the HR?

Just wondering if the placement of the switches is an issue?  The original has 4 switches on the back too, but up near the top.  Hold switch is handy on the side for sure...

ok i just picked one up in toronto.

i had the R-09 for over a year before i sold it last month.

i'll report back about the new one shortly

[Hman]

Got mine incoming at the moment..
I've got no experiences with the R-09 (only used MT in the past). I'm taping with DPA4061 & AT943 mics and using a Church Audio ST-9100 pre.
I'd like to know which adjustments I have to make (at the back of the recorder) with this gear to make recordings at loud rockshows.

- limiter/AGC: off/on;
- plug-in power: off/on;
- low cut: off/on;
- mic gain: L/H

Can someone help me with this matter? What is the best way to use it..(?)

AGC - Off. You'll adjust the gain from the 9100 manually on the fly
Plug-in power off - You'll power the mics with the 9100
Low Cut - Off. Adjust bass in post in need be
Mic Gain - Off.  I think this is a 20 db or so switch. 9100 gives +20 if you need it.
