Edirol R-09HR - Part TWO

[Dede2002]

Just bought the new Edirol R-09HR and now need to get a few cards for it.  Does anyone know if these are likely to work?  If so, you can't beat these prices.

Also, is there some general rule of thumb to use in deciding what types of SD cards are suitable?  Thanks.

I have only one rule. I always buy stuff that never give me headaches.In my case, Kingston memory cards

hello
tryin to decide between R09HR and Tascam DR1..
I ve already checked some topics on tapersection, also google but no step further..
line-in looks kind of similar, what about the noise and sound of built-in mics?
some audio comparison?

thanks

No comparison, but I just uploaded this 320 kbps R09HR internal mic field-recording at Freesound. IMO this is perfectly acceptable, whereas the R09 original would have sucked hissed under the same conditions

Received my Kingston 8GB SDHC card yesterday. Works perfectly. Like $ 35.00 on ebay.

http://www.supermediastore.com/adata-16gb-class-6-turbo-sdhc-sd-card.html works for me, I have run 2 tests and not had any issues with the card.

One test was a straight record until the batteries died (just under 7 hours) and one where I ran 50-90 minutes and then stopped and restarted (more like a festival situation) and it filled the card before the batteries even died.

Here's yet another R-09HR podcast from http://blindcooltech.com/

Two Short Trains
7/19/2008 Neal Ewers
shares two short, quick Amtrak trains recorded to make you think you are there. 3.7 MB

He's using the internal mics during the intro and the some DPA mics for the trains.

Ok, is the new Edirol recorder better in sound quality to the older model? Is Edirol's new I.A.R.C. something that actually works as promised, or is it just a marketing ploy? Is there now less hiss when recording with internal mics?

Yes

I just held the R-09HR in my hand at a local store in Vienna and messed around with it a bit.
Looks and feels a lot better than the old R-09.
Anybody knows unity gain yet on the scale from 0-80?

Anybody knows unity gain yet on the scale from 0-80?

I would also like to know this as well...

[Mass. Wine Guy]

What is unity gain?

[prof_peabody]

What is unity gain?

Where the pre-amp in the recorder is neither adding or reducing gain.  The idea being that you set the recorder to unity gain and use an external pre-amp to control gain.

I knew it! You're going to get one, my friend

Last news: something around 50 to 56.
I find it too high (in my absolute lack of technical knowledge  )

If it is to high, set it to 1.
It is just a number. Not a straight dB scale.

I have been using the default 40 (line in). I am highly confident that this setting is providing excellent S/N ratios. BTW: It's a line-level input so I am not sure at unity gain (if that even makes sense for this input) or being 10 units either side of it (30 to 50) will make any real difference.
