Edirol R09HR

[hydrobud]

i want to thank you guys for all the info in this thread and all the testing. i guess this is best one for stealthing live hard rock shows.

Has anyone been advised when these will become available in the USA? 

I'll check with FullCompass tomorrow and report back.

Nobody else notices the piercing high frequency noise in the R9HR 48K internal mics sample? I boosted it by 15DB to make it obvious. It's somewhere above 8K, 8.3 or 8.4 ... someone can nail it visually I'm sure.

Otherwise, the internal mics of the HR sound like a big improvement. Not sure on the noise performance.

Haha.... very rarely will you find a more scientific experiment! Laboratory conditions all the way!

+T. Great job

Clock ticking:

R09 - 24/44.1, internal mics, high gain on, full input
R09 - 24/44.1, internal mics, high gain on, full input (normalised to 0db)

R09 HR - 24/44.1, internal mics, high gain on, full input
R09 HR - 24/44.1, internal mics, high gain on, full input (normalised to 0db)

Enjoy! My finest tape yet!

Powermonkey thanks a lot for the files !!
Would it be possible for you to do exactly the same but with line in? Just record silence at full recording levels? I would like very much to compare them to the ones of my PMD620

From talking to sweetwater, they are thinking early May, but nothing is set in stone yet

Both of the 24/96 samples have more air around the instruments. Better pace too (the tempo seemed like it dragged a bit on the 24/48 in comparison).

Maybe that was posted on 1st April.  See http://mixonline.com/recording/mixing/audio_emperors_new_sampling/ for some relevant considerations.

- 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!

Does the HR provide a way to disable the red lights while leaving the screen on?  I want the red lights to go away but I want to still be able to check input levels.  Thanks.

It's got power save mode, same as the old R09, so the red lights go off after a few seconds. Mind you, they go back on as soon as you change anything.

Can everyone post where they are getting their units and the actual total (shipped) costs?  Id like to know the running average and such

I love my R-09, but this has me considering an upgrade.
