Edirol R-09 release information

[Jofa]

Have anyone used the R09 "in the field"?

yeah i used it friday night to record tony levin.  it was just a backup deck, slaved out of my r4.

but i haven't transferred it or listened it, but it looked like it did fine  :-)

i'm actually stealthing with it for the first time tomorrow night, probably.

Please let us know your opinions when you've used it. Thanks!

I should be testing one this weekend at Bruce Hornsby in Atlanta......it is on the way from Cascade right now.   Will report when I have some results!

Looking forward to hear your comments!

Has anyone found the ideal case for it yet? 

I needed some protection so I bought a nice little "digital camera" case that it fits nicely but it is totally enclosed by the case.  I would prefer a case that allows some access to controls.  The iPod cases are real close but just a tad too thin for the R9.

What about ordering the Edirol factory case advertised as a package with tripod stand?  See their website...

I used the R-09 last weekend in a large club. Setup being DPA4061>SPSB-6 (rolloff @ 160Hz)>R-09 (16/48). It performed as expected, flawless. The meters are a little too fast, wish there was a delayed peak hold. The red beacon for the record button is the only change I would make. If that light could be blue, it would exactly like a cell phone in the dark! Now to find a sweatband or I'm cutting some electrical tape in the shape of that light. Thanks Edirol for taking the time to get it right. Well worth the wait.

Thanks for your report! Nice to hear your thought of the unit.

I second Elkin's motion on the CellSuit. I never take mine out of the case other than to change batteries, flash, or go USB. Perfect fit.

and pedro says?.............


I have a question.  Is there any way you can do a comp with the r01 and r09?  Just curious.

Sure, just run the xlr out > r1 and mini out > r09 from your preamp.

pedro says that he would have done the r01/r09 comp by now if he hadn't shipped his r01 in for service ~5 days prior to the release of the r09!

but on the other hand, pedro also still hasn't checked out the file written on 6/2/06. pedro is a very bad beta-tester!

FWIW, I found it for a couple bucks less with cheaper shipping here:

Looks to be the same thing.  BestBuy around here doesn't have it.

The case definitely works great. However I also ordered the Edirol mini tripod and case and tripod adapter.  This way I can stand the R-09 on a table or mount it ona mic stand to record.  Pretty clever of Edirol to put a 1/4 threaded screw on the back of the Ediro case.

At $50+ for the Edirol case and stand, that makes for a very expensive case if you don't need the stand.  Do you know if it is available anywhere without the tripod?

No they only seem to be selling it as a kit.  I wouldn't use the stand in most cases, but I can think of a few where it could come in handy for me.  The accessories won't be available until July I was told, so I'll have to wait a bit to get mine. 

It is on teh expensive side, but hey, who cares it's only money, right. 

BTW, these is the 2 parts I was talking about:
