R09HR's are going for £259.99 in turnkey on Charing Cross Road, with a free 2gig SD card, in case any UK folks are interested. Selling out quickly, mind.

*Hopefully* getting mine tonight, first outing tomorrow.

Woo!

Good news. Any idea about US launching date?

No clue, sorry.

Turns out that I'm not getting mine tonight. Maybe tomorrow, not sure though. Pesky banks.

I've been looking for the US too. I spoke with Roland US in CA and they didn't seem to have a clue.

Thanks a lot for the info

Just got my HR, literally just stuck in the SDHC card and batteries.

First impressions:

- More substantially built than the R09.
- Way better battery access (on the back rather than the flimsy battery cover on the R09
- In terms of dimensions, a little taller than the R09, little bit narrower, little bit thinner.
- I like the rubberised finish.
- The mics feel more secure than on the old version - I was always a little concerned about how loose the old ones felt.
- Screen is quite a bit bigger
- Haven't had a chance to check all the settings yet but flashing red light on the record button AND flashing red light on the top for the remote. Hang on, you can set it to 'power save' mode and the red lights disappear. Neat!
- The buttons on the back are more substantial than the old version - by which I mean hopefully less chance of changing settings than previously... Low cut on halfway through the show? Been there, done that. It seems that you can change the setting for the Low Cut, btw - 100hz, 200hz, 400hz.
- The input volume range is now 0-80, rather than 0-30.

More info to follow once I've had a beer and a chance to fiddle.

Nice! Do you still have a regular R-09? If so, I'd love to hear an ADC comparison of the two.

Might be able to provide one next week. Taping Curtis Eller, open (first time taping open for me). If DaveG73 and I can run 3 rigs between us I'll give it a go. Different pre-amps, mind, I've got a FEL pre and he's got a CA pre. Same mics, though (STC-11s)

Out taping my pals Nebraska playing an acoustic show on sunday, will be rocking the HR for that.

Thanks for the updates, I'll be keeping an eye out for some audio reviews on this little guy in the coming weeks.

I'm curious about self-noise when you put external mics into it.  Noise on the original Edirol R09 is a bit high.

Do you mean going mics > R09 without a pre/bb? Only ever done that once, not happy with the result, but that was my first ever attempt at taping, and I had no idea what I was doing. Plus it was a fairly quiet show.

I'm going to try going mics > R09HR at some point, but only for a loud show.

With proper wiring (eg., 2.2 or 4.7k source resistor on the FET), I've run a ton of things directly into the R09 and Minidisc.

The issue I'm asking is, what is the self noise of the mic input?  Do I need additional gain?  So, mics > batt box (or not) > R09HR is what I'm looking for.  Record some quiet sounds, preferably, and compare to the same setup into the old R09.
