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. Feature List
- 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. 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. - I.A.R.C. (Isolated Adaptive Recording Circuit)
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. - 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! If you wish to use an external microphone, the R-09 offers a 1/8" mic input. - Sweetening
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. - More Than Music
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. - USB 2.0 Connection to Computer for Rapid File Transfer
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.

 Hmm October 26, 2008
Mixed feelings about the R-09 four months after buying from Amazon. First, it came with dated software. I suppose this is the way things go with modern electronic devices. But you may have update your r-09 via your home PC. It was not that easy: I managed to get the 1.31 software downloaded with help from a friend who has an R-09. My unit shipped in 6/08; 1.31 was released by Roland in 9/07. Without the update, my unit wouldn't accept a 4 gig card. Haven't tried an 8 gig. I use the r-09 to record live music. You may want to set the r-09 to record in mp-3 format, as wave takes alot of memory. A four gig card will only last a few hours. The r-09 generally works well. I've been careful with the back hinge after reading all the reviews. Currently my r-09 isn't recording -- something's wrong with it. Still haven't figured out a good audio program to edit r-09 recordings on the PC. Had used goldwave previously.
 Amazing Digital Field Recorder October 9, 2008
The Edirol R-09 is nothing short of amazing. If you need to record live music, this is the answer.
Using it's built-in mics, the R-09 does an excellent job of capturing sound with excellent fidelity. To best them, you'll have to purchase a mic valued at $200 or more.
The controls are simple, obvious, and straightforward. If you spend a few minutes acquainting yourself with them before recording, you shouldn't run into any problems even the first time you use the device.
I find that I get the best results with near-field recording. When recording piano, for example, I place the R-09 over the keyboard, either suspended by a tripod or lying on a felt cloth. When recording voice, I get fantastic results with the R-09 placed 2-3 feet from the vocalist. And if recording a band, placing the R-09 on a tripod at ear level in the center of the group or in the front row center provides excellent results.
While only a 2GB SD card is the specified maximum capacity, I have found standard - not SDHD - 4 GB SD cards can sometimes work. Good luck, though. I've found the 4 GB cards to be slower in writing, making recording more of a hit and miss proposition.
Highly recommended for musicians and music lovers.
Edirol R-09 Digital WAV MP3 Audio Voice Recorder: Portable, Practical, Posh! September 28, 2008
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1VHK9L8KK01LY The Edirol R-09 WAV MP3 Digital Audio/Voice recorder is one of those gadgets I couldn't do without! It has served me well since I purchased it 2 years ago. Here's the features I love about it:
1. Digitally clear MP3 and WAV audio recording!
2. Easy to use with user-friendly interface, and bright screen
3. Portable and Posh! (It now comes in Red and White versions too)
4. Uses SD cards for storage
5. Uses two AA batteries for power (adapter optional): my favorite feature!
6. Convenient USB cable to transfer files to and from PC. (Admittedly, it's easy to plug-in your SD card in a USB adapter and use this to transfer files to your PC)
7. Powerful condenser mic already built in. No need for external mic
8. Reverb settings are a treat to use! (Note: Reverb used only for listening to audio)
As a pianist and instructor, I use the Edirol R-09 mainly for recording the performances of my students and myself. It's a great teaching tool, especially because it records in MP3 format, which then can be transferred into iTunes. My students can critique themselves with the recordings produced. The audio clarity is phenomenal. (I even produced my first WEDDING MUSIC CD in collaboration with a flutist using the Edirol R-09!)
Edirol R-09 has my five-thumbs-up vote for a portable, practical and posh WAV MP3 digital audio recorder!
Handy and versatile June 5, 2008
The balance of portability and quality is fantastic. The menu interface is reasonably intuitive and sufficiently user friendly given the small profile. It's very nice being able to capture spontaneous ideas with minimal overhead.
 Great lightweight professional sounding recorder May 7, 2008
I am a professional musician and I love this product. Prior to buying the Edirol R9 I was using a Sony Hi Mini Disc. I loved the hi mini disc, but this product is much more compact. The built in microphones are more than adequate, but if you are a professional like me you may want to use a better microphone (there is an input for one). I bought a 4GB card and was able to record well over 3.5 hours of high quality audio. The Edirol is really lightweight. The only negatives I have are the battery life and the lights on the front. The R9 uses two double a batteries instead of a rechargeable battery. I record a lot so I go through double a batteries really quickly. The lights on the front are really annoying if you are trying to discreetly record a performance. When recording there is a bright red light that stays on and you can't shut off the front screen without turning the unit off. For quality, weight, and size I think this is a great recorder.
