All user reviews for the Edirol R-09

Use for 24 hours notice to be considered with caution

Many strengths for this device seems to succeed brilliantly R1:
Capturing the very correct with the internal microphone (for total immersion surround sound through stereo evil especially for moving targets, with a little breath still, it is well set the level of input before recording).
Ergonomics: The main functions are accessible on the case as the input level, the microphone gain, auto gain control, low cut (to reduce the breath out) output volume, the rec button, reading .. . The main information is displayed on the screen without it is to walk in the sub menus.
The object itself, two times smaller than the R1 (10 of 6cm), and very light maybe too much, which leads to weakness

Weaknesses:
Light, so probably fragile, and no protective case comes with.
Not come either, an SD card at least (let's be crazy) 512 m rather than the miserable 64 m equivalent to 5 minutes recording in 16 bits wave gracieusemnt offered by Edirol.
The reverb effect only available for reading from what I understand. What's the point?

I tried the M Audio MicroTrack and internal micro issue is no comparison with the Edirol so I forgot. My colleagues in radio uses the R1, the sound is good but a lot of gadgets, much more expensive, much larger and real manufacturing defects on some models. In response to a request for an opinion on the R1 R9 is not the poor.

The price / quality ratio is hard to judge. Rents have increased gasoline increased my income has not increased. But paid 369 euros somewhere in Lyon, the R9 has no competitors at the moment (it is always better than a good mic md more)

Experience using a few hours last night I walked around the animal (recording with internal microphone inside and outside, line in, wave and mp3 formats at 192kbps (the rendering is correct) USB connector (simplissime Windows XP), nothing to say at the moment and I had a great night.

I have test Edirol R-09 last night. It features a microphone Stereo Intgr and well being protected. This product seems IDAL for use in difficult conditions (reporting, recording), but hlas proposes that a microphone input Stereo mini jack. No phantom power, as in the Micro track 2496 M-Audio (I possde for some time, which will not allow to use capacitor microphones pro.) But I have been taking an acoustic piano 3 MP mode (128), and your exact m 'a surprise enjoyable, despite its lgrement mtallique. The price seems logical in view of the possibilities, the compactness and the autonomy of the unit ...

I use it for 3 days.
I like his hyperportabilité.
I had not tried other models in this category.
As these aircraft in fashion when they leave it is too expensive.
I probably do it again this choice.

I bought this machine as a machine pocket therefore only work with the internal microphone, so:
Called linear-position should be treated the signal recorded by the withdrawal of a tray of 5 dB below 300Hz.
Low cut-in position is, therefore, slight loss of sensitivity apparent rise in the BoF and curve a little tortured: 3 dB back and dig around 3kHz of 2.5 dB around 200Hz.

The rest look a bit fragile but it limpide.Pourquoi classe.Mode job does it eliminate the only "effect" significant limiter.

In short: a machine light and easy, a fancy stereo, but nice, probably the best notebook current sound in this range.

Petit added a week later: very fragile, I served a micro without apparent effort. At least now I know to disassemble and reassemble.

I received it last night, I did not sleep much to try it.
A little pricey, but the sound quality is very decent for a camera in this class.
The sound of my Yamaha baby grand piano really makes a lot.
A good musical notepad handy: pressing Rec, adjusting levels, and that other support records. Is stopped, the re-support and here we go again. What could be simpler?
A handy LED shows whether the gain is too high.

May seem a little fragile, especially because of its lightness: by taking it, it seems that the shell is empty!
I will hasten to find a cover.

For what I saw, I do not regret having chosen this rather than the Edirol Microtrack, which is much less well thought out.

Hello everyone

I use the R_09 fortnight for the sound in nature and I am very satisfied. Of course, I do not use mics, but a couple + one external preamp. To the sound naturalist is almost indispensable.
This device is very well designed overall, very easy to use. For me it is a worthy successor to the portable DAT recorders (eg Sony DCD-D8). The selling price should fall soon with the placing on the market comparable to other devices such as the Zoom H4.

I reu for my little Nol ), it - say a week ago. Indoor test (church organ, violin Room, vocals) and on the collection's outdoor bird songs and sounds of fountain. I have yet to branch from external microphone.
I have at home a DCC (Digital Compact Cassette Philips 1992) whose sound is excellent but unfortunately the portability of the PC interface zero.
Trs strong points: easy to use portability maneuverability, quality of sound in the high frquences [\ u], surround effect by Stros microphones. Transfer single PC that slow.
Weaknesses: breath (especially with the sensitivity micro drives). I will try to cut through a plateau as indicated in another post. Snoring with the power supply sector, which does not exist with the batteries. Trs questionable usefulness of reverb. The basic capacity of the card memory book that really only serves as the first step. It takes at least a 1GB card.
No doubt I would do the same choice that the quality / price parat trs me good.

Hello all
I use the R09 for 6 months, especially for recording and concert rptition. I am glad trs.
It is much easier to handle and an MD recording quality is much better. Less compression, more AIGS Defines ... a lot of positives.
But still, I blame some major default!:
Its plastic shell is plutt Camelott, especially the cover your checks the card, batteries and the USB connection, it
be handled with great dlicatesse ...!
It is not possible to redcouper songs recorded, which was just on the MD with the option trad-mark I think
and allowed to put back the beach and clear parts. And it's a shame. When you have a recording time of 3 minutes with seuleument INTERESTED retain all you have to TRANSFR on his computer. I think not to be the only one to complain of this and inconvniant j'espre in a future version ...!
