Edirol R-09







Edirol R-09

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.




24-bit/48kHz (or 44.1kHz) uncompressed recording




Up to 320kbps MP3 playback and recording




Records to SD card (64MB card included)




High-grade stereo condenser microphone built in




Mic and Line audio inputs; USB 2.0 I/O




Easy operation, user-friendly graphic display




Ultra portable, half the size of the R-1




Long battery life









My take on this device: I've waited for a long time. The price hasn't changed and the item hasn't been recreated. It costs around $350-$400, can be found on http://www.amazon.com/ .






My current recorder is a Zoom and I just dispise it. I dispise it so much I've lost it.


Here's something on the New zoom which Id don't have: The Zoom H4:


The Zoom H4 Handy Digital Recorder fits in your palm and is ideal for recording live musical performances, interviews, podcasts, meetings, classes and seminars. The H4 allows you to record 24-bit/96 kHz digital audio as well as in MP3 format with bitrates up to 320kbps.
The H4 features two studio-quality electret condenser microphones configured in an X/Y pattern for true stereo recording. It also includes 2 combination XLR-1/4-inch input jacks with phantom power for use with any external microphones of your choice. And the H4 is loaded with onboard studio effects such as compression, limiting and mic modeling. An 1/8-inch headphone jack is also provided for monitoring.
The H4 records on to Secure Digital (SD) media, a 128MB SD card is included with the unit. With a 2GB SD memory card, the H4 provides up to 380 minutes of recording in 16-bit mode (CD Quality), and 34 hours in MP3 stereo mode. And to move your recordings to a PC or Mac, the H4 includes a USB mass-storage interface.
The H4 provides four hours of continuous recording operation from 2 AA batteries. A back-lit, 128?4 pixel LCD provides the visual interface. An AC adapter, USB cable, windshield cover and tripod adapter are also included.
