The R-09HR is a professional, high-definition recorder that travels light and performs like a heavyweight. With crystal-clear 24/96 fidelity, the R-09HR is the new flagship of EDIROL’s award-winning R-series recorders.

24bit/96kHz linear PCM + I.A.R.C. (Isolated Adaptive Recording Circuit)
Experience precise audio reproduction, and clarity with a wider dynamic range when using the higher bit and sample rates that the R-09HR offers. The R-09HR supports up to 24bit/96kHz linear PCM recording, which has over twice the digital audio resolution of a standard audio CD. I.A.R.C. is a newly developed, dedicated analog circuit optimized for recording with the R-09HR's onboard A/D converter. Electrolytic capacitors provide stable, reliable power with an independent power source for the analog circuitry, and another power source for the digital circuit board, thus eliminating DC interference between components in the R-09HR. The I.A.R.C. also contributes to high quality, low noise MP3 recording with the R-09HR.

Professional-grade, high-sensitivity stereo condenser microphone built in
When recording with the R-09HR, there's no extra gear to buy or cables to connect. A professional quality stereo microphone is built right into the unit, complete with a dedicated analog input control, mono/stereo selector, low-cut filter, limiter/AGC (Auto Gain Control), and a gain boost. The onboard electret condenser microphone elements are very compact, ultra-sensitive, and placed to capture three-dimensional sound naturally and accurately. To further avoid possible noise interference from internal components, the microphone housing is separated from the main circuit board…another sign of quality design from EDIROL (For use an external microphone, the R-09HR offers a 1/8” stereo mic input).

Compact, hand-held body allows for convenient portable use
Small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, the R-09HR has a new tactile feel that is easy to grip. It also has a user-friendly graphic display for ultra easy operation. The large 1.5” OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display provides wide view-ability, at-a-glance level meters, peak indicators, and additional recording information on the screen.

Preview Monitor (Small Speaker) built in
Without headphones, you can easily check out the recorded sounds right after the recording, thanks to the preview monitor on rear panel.

Wireless remote controller included
With the included wireless remote controller, transport functions such as recording start/playback start, fast forward, rewind, volume control, and input level control can be accessed from a distance away. This allows the R-09HR to be placed in exactly the right position for recording, and allows for quick and easy touch-less operation.

High-speed file transfer via USB 2.0 connection to computer
The R-09 can connect to the outside world via USB for importing/exporting audio files to a computer very quickly. The R-09HR supports Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) mass storage so file transfers are very quick and convenient. The R-09HR comes with Cakewalk’s “pyro Audio Creator LE” CD-ROM. This software is perfect for WAV/MP3 audio file editing; to trim cut, or fade audio sections, to burn audio collections to CD, publish a web page with sounds, to publish a blog with audio, to podcast an interview or performance, and so on. With “pyro” the R-09HR package becomes truly a complete recording solution suite from recording to CD-burning.

Wide variety of optional accessories
Perfect for many recording applications from rehearsals, recitals, concerts, interviews, podcasts, research, photo journaling, law enforcement, to nature and field recording, and business meetings, the R-09HR optional accessories are useful to pros and novices alike.

*Cakewalk “pyro Audio Creator LE” is compatible with Windows Vista and Windows XP.

Edirol R-09 WAVE/MP3 Recorder, Black Reviews

I don't own the Edirol R-09 Recorder but I just did a job where one was provided for me to use and these are my brief impressions.br /br /I am a sound recordist/mixer for the film and television industries. That means I work on camera crews that film or tape TV shows and movies. One of the many kinds of shoots we do is what we call sit down interviews. You watch them everyday. People, sitting in a room, talking about something. Not the most exciting gig but it's work.br /br /About two weeks ago, I did a sit down interview and the producer provided the Edirol R-09 Digital Recorder for me to use to record the audio I was providing to the cameras onto, so that transcribers could quickly transfer to paper or computer document what had been said in the interview. We used to use small tape recorders to do this and within a year's time, it's all gone digital.br /br /I personally own a Zoom H4 Zoom H4 Handy Recorder made by Samson and will be writing a review on that soon. So I had no experience with the R-09 when it was handed to me. I didn't need any.br /br /The recorder is nice and small, about 30% smaller than the Zoom. Turning it over in your hands, you see that all inputs and outputs are located and labeled well. The control panel on front is also logically set out and labeled well and the function buttons are very intuitive, something that is not true on the Zoom H4.br /br /So I basically just plugged a cable from the proper port of my mixing bag directly into the line in of the R-09, turned on my tone generator, pushed the record button once to see the VU meters, made easy adjustments for volume, and then when the cameras were rolling, pushed the record button again and the R-09 started recording.br /br /Another thing I liked about the R-09 was it's display. Sure, it's small because the recorder is small. But it's perfectly laid out, with everything on it clear and exactly what you need to see to monitor your recording.br /br /I've not used the R-09 for live recording through it's built-in mics, or for recording music. But when played back, the voice recording I did for this television interview was as crystal clear as the master sound I sent to the large broadcast cameras.br /br /That's enough to impress me and I plan on picking up one of the new updated models of this recorder, the Edirol R-09HR High Resolution Recorder Edirol R-09HR High-Resolution WAVE/MP3 Recorder right away.

Edirol R-09 WAVE/MP3 Recorder, Black Feature

• Ultra portable
• Records to SD card
• Mic and line audio inputs
• Time and date stamp
• Long battery life

Introducing the latest addition to Edirol’s red-hot portable recorder lineup: the R-09. Building on the success of the R-1, the R-09 takes many of the most desired features — 24-bit uncompressed recording and a built-in stereo mic — and shrinks it all down into a more streamlined, stylish, and affordable package.PBFeature List/BBRULLICrystal-Clear CaptureBR It’s ultra small and looks like a gadget, but make no mistake — the R-09 is a serious, top-quality professional recorder. Capture source material at a crystal-clean 24-bit resolution with your choice of 44.1 or 48kHz sample rates. You can record and play back in MP3 format as well (up to 320kbps). Once recorded, your files can be monitored through the R-09’s headphone jack and/or exported to a computer via USB. LII.A.R.C. (Isolated Adaptive Recording Circuit)BR I.A.R.C. is the newly developed dedicated analog circuit optimized for recording on R-09. Electrolytic capacitors provide stable, reliable power to the analog circuits, eliminating DC interference. The R-09 offers an input gain volume control to manually adjust recording levels. LIMicrophone IncludedBR To record audio into the R-09, there’s no extra gear to buy or no cables to connect. A quality stereo microphone is built right into the unit, complete with a dedicated input control, mono/stereo selector, low-cut filter, and gain boost. Just point and record! If you wish to use an external microphone, the R-09 offers a 1/8" mic input. LISweeteningBR The R-09 is more affordable than its predecessor, the R-1. One reason the R-1 carries a heavier price tag is because of its well-stocked lineup of internal effects. The R-09 isn’t devoid of effects, however. It contains the world’s most-requested/desired effect: reverb. Whether you’re listening to WAV or MP3 files, you can route the R-09’s playback through its internal reverb processor, immersing it in lush, user-controllable ambience. LIMore Than MusicBR The R-09 is perfect for capturing live music events, recitals, and rehearsals. It’s also handy as a songwriter’s sketchpad, ensuring that no moment of inspiration is lost. But the R-09 has many valuable uses outside of the music world as well. Students can use it to record lectures. Broadcasters and journalists can throw away their antiquated cassette recorders and use the R-09 for in-the-field interviews. Wherever, whenever there’s a need to capture audio, the R-09 can do it hassle-free thanks to its built-in microphone and long battery operation. LIUSB 2.0 Connection to Computer for Rapid File TransferBR The R-09 can connect to the outside world via USB 2.0 for importing/exporting audio files via computer very quickly. For example, a 600 MB recording at 44.1 kHz/16-bit takes only 5 minutes to transfer, only 1/12 of the time it would take to transfer the same recording from a MiniDisc or tape (cassette/DAT) recorder. /UL WAVE/MP3 Recorder

Perfect digital recorder for my needs ! - Allen_TX_Reviewer - Allen, TX United States
I have had my R-09 for several years now. I also bought the leather case and tiny tripod about a year after I bought the R-09. Love the leather case. The R-09 exactly and perfectly meets my needs. I have recorded sound effects outside with external mics, recorded "Story of a Lifetime" with both my parents (internal mics), recorded messages off my voice mail, and so forth. The R-09 does everything exactly as I want. I get hours and hours of recordings at very high quality.br /br /The case is a bit funky, to open, replace batteries, pull out the card. I got used to it, treat it very carefully, and have never had a problem. I record in mp3, then pull out the card and stick it in my Mac, copy the .MP3 file off the card, and delete it off the card. Then I can edit it with Audacity, etc on my Mac.

Excellently Simple - Elliott T. Everitt - Yazoo City, MS
This is an unbelievably simple and efficient way to record MP3 or WAV. You don't need a card reader because you can plug it straight into the computer to get the files. I use it to record speeches off a sound system by plugging the "line out" from the sound board to the "line in" jack on the recorder. Incredibly easy to use, and easy to switch between sound systems. Highly recommend for ordinary recording purposes!
