Great features and high-quality sound
Built-in stereo mics for perfect capture
With the R-09HR, there's no extra gear to buy or cables to connect. A pro-quality stereo microphone is built into the unit, complete with a dedicated analog input control, mono/stereo selector, low-cut filter, limiter/AGC (Auto Gain Control), and gain boost. The electret condenser microphone elements are compact, ultra-sensitive, and placed to capture sound accurately. To further avoid interference, the mic housing is separated from the main circuit board. (An external mic can also be used with the R-09HRs 1/8" stereo input.)

I.A.R.C.: analog circuit ensures high-quality sound
The R-09HR supports up to 24-bit/96kHz linear PCM recording, which has over twice the digital audio resolution of a standard audio CD. I.A.R.C. (Isolated Adaptive Recording Circuit) 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 R-09HR offers an input gain volume control to manually adjust recording levels.

Frequency Response

Intuitive point-and-capture recording
Preventing clipped recordings: Analog Limiter and AGC
You often get just one chance at capturing sound. To prevent unexpected audio bursts from spoiling the recording, the R-09HR has analog limiting and AGC (Auto Gain Control) capabilities. Use these functions for confidence when recording.
Capture sound in high quality
Recording that exceeds CD quality
The R-09HR is capable recording in uncompressed linear PCM (wav) format, with sampling specs at 24 bits and 96 kHz significantly better than CD quality. This allows you to capture the finest details of the source sound with stunning realism. In addition to lossless wav format, MP3 is also supported.
Get great recordings with confident level control
The R-09HR enables easy control of input level. When you set the input levels, meter bars clearly show input on the large display. The red PEAK indicator also illuminates if the level is exceeded. Other practical features include Low Cut Filter to eliminate low-frequency noise, and Mic Gain for adjusting sensitivity.
For recording ensembles or dynamic performances, the analog limiter prevents clipping
Organic Light Emitting Diode display provides easy metering
Information is easy to see on the R-09HRs large OLED display thanks to its high contrast and wide viewing angle. The screen allows you to accurately adjust input levels with confidence.
Compatible with SD and SDHC media
Record at the highest quality for lengthy periods and youll still have room on the memory card. The reliability and durability of these types of media are outstanding. Naturally, there are no the background noise problems as there are with tape and vinyl records.
If theres a sudden, excessive increase, the level will be compressed to prevent clipping. The analog limiter is a lifesaver when recording dynamic instrumental and vocal performances.

Designed to simplify the recording process

Handy bonus features abound, such as the Split function for separating waveforms at a user-defined point, and a file management setup that can time- and date-stamp each recording. The R-09HR also provides a Line input for connecting MP3 players, etc., and an input for an external mono or stereo mic.

If the sound is too soft, the volume is boosted; if its too loud, the level is reduced perfect for dynamic environments such as meetings.

Unprecedented ease of use
You can take it anywhere. Perfect portability
The compact R-09HR fits in the palm of your hand. And its light; even with an SD card inserted, it weighs just 174 g. In the field, it runs on two AA batteries. Indoors you can power it using the bundled AC adaptor.
Share and store your data
Built in speaker lets you quickly hear the recording
You can easily audition the recorded sounds immediately after recording, thanks to the built-in preview speaker. No need to plug in headphones; you can immediately check the recording through the speaker. Besides being handy for auditioning your recordings, the speaker can also be useful when selecting which Preview monitor located on back of unit files to discard or keep.
Transfer R-09HR data to and from computers via USB
Connect the R-09HR to a computer via USB and simply drag and drop the files, and vice versa. Support for Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) lets you quickly transfer large sound files. By loading the R-09HR with MP3 files, you can use it as a portable MP3 player.
Audio editing software bundle
The R-09HR is bundled with Cakewalks versatile pyro Audio Creator LE sound-editing application. It enables you to split, edit, process, store, or practically anything you want with the files recorded on the R-09HR.
Hassle-free operation. Includes remote controller
The wireless remote lets you control important transport functions such as record-start, playback-start, fast-forward, rewind, volume control, and input level from a distance. This allows the R-09HR to be placed in the perfect position for recording while providing quick and easy hands-free operation. If you see the peak indicator lighting up during recording, for example, you can promptly turn the input level down without touching the unit. Remote control is ideal for eliminating handling noise typically caused by touching the buttons and switches during recording.

High speed file transfer via USB 2.0 connection to computer
The R-09HR can connect to the outside world via Hi-Speed USB (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.
