Pristine 24-Bit Recording to Go
R-09 Now world’s first SD high capacity compatible stereo field recorder.
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.
Crystal-Clear Capture
It’s ultra small and looks like a gadget, but make no mistake — the R-09 is a serious, top-quality professional recorder with time-stamp capability. Capture source material at a crystal-clean 24-bit resolution with your choice of 44.1 or 48kHz sample rates. Record and play back in MP3 format as well (up to 320kbps). Once recorded, files can be monitored through the R-09’s headphone jack and/or exported to a computer via USB.
Microphone Included
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! The R-09 also offers a mic input.
Sweetening
The R-09 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.
More Than Music
The R-09 is perfect for recording 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 — the audio-capturing applications are endless.

A very useful recording devices but very expensive based on construction quality. Have not had time to evaluate full performance, but initial tests leave me relatively satisfied up to now.
I am still awaiting comments from Dolfin Music with regard to my order, I thought I was to receive a carry case to hold recorder with my unit but instead I received earphones, Note; 1 both were listed on my order. Note 2 Although the unit is small enough to fit into one pocket I think a suitably designed belt pouch or case is essential for hand free use.

Although I'm not a professional musician, I use a lot of sound files, which range from web to CD quality. I've mostly used Sony's high-density mini-disc so far, but this piece of kit turns out to be everything I need. Files are easily transferrable and manageable, and I have even used it with a holophonic microphone, and the quality is superb. The inbuilt microphone is surprisingly good. Feels a bit lightweight, but that is deceptive. This is serious equipment.I would have liked an inbuilt mike stand connector, rather than having to buy one separately, but, hey ...!

Very user friendly, good quality microphones too. The line-in indicator is a very handy tool for how I'm using it(recording live shows) and the date/time stamp feature is invaluable.
Just feels a little bit flimsy and 'cheap', and the lack of a rechargeable battery pack is slightly annoying.

Give me a chance to use it for longer than a month, these things take a long time to firstly get familiar with, and then discover the good & bad points.
However, at this stage, after some 12 hours recording different live material, I am impressed with its flexibility and ease of use, there are a few points that I am not too happy with, firstly its use of Joint Stereo in MP3 mode, an option to use pure stereo would
be an advantage on quality grounds, at lower bit rates than 320k this is not so important. Serious sessions done in wave mode
consume vast amounts of card space, hence I prefer to use the MP3 option at 320k.
A usefull addition (accessory) would be a windsock to guard against low frequency wind noise when recording outdoors with the
internal mics.
There is an issue with bursts of digital noise which occour occasionally when in MP3 mode, this may be due to the particular SD card used (Toshiba 1gig) these bursts appear in the 8-12kHz region and produce sharp ticks, and show up as bursts of glitches in Sound Forge, easily removed with smoothing. These bursts are very infrequent, seldom troublesome, but worth comment.
