EDIROL PROUDLY ANNOUNCES THE R-09HR HANDHELD RECORDER

A Professional, High-Definition WAVE/MP3 Recorder

EDIROL proudly announces the R-09HR, a professional, high-definition recorder that travels light and performs like a heavyweight. With crystal-clear 24bit/96kHz fidelity, the R-09HR is the new flagship of EDIROL's award-winning R-series recorders, building on the tradition of high-performance portable recorders.

When recording with the R-09HR, there's no extra gear to buy or cables to connect. In addition to newly developed Isolated Adaptive Recording Circuit (I.A.R.C.), a pro-quality stereo microphone is built into the unit, complete with a dedicated analog input control, low-cut filter, limiter/AGC (Auto Gain Control), and gain boost. The onboard electret condenser microphone elements are compact, ultra-sensitive, and placed to capture three-dimensional sound naturally and accurately.

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 OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) graphic display for easy operation. The large display provides a wide view with easy-to-see level meters, peak indicators, and additional recording information onscreen. A built-in preview speaker allows instant playback of the recorded sounds —no headphones required. With the included wireless remote controller, transport functions can be accessed from a distance.

The R-09 can connect to computers via USB for importing/exporting audio files. It supports Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) mass storage so file transfers are quick and convenient. Included with the R-09HR is Cakewalk's pyro Audio Creator LE software —a perfect companion for WAV/MP3 audio file editing. With pyro, the R-09HR package becomes a complete recording solution suite, from recording to CD-burning.

A wide variety of optional accessories are available for the R-09HR, including: Cover/Stand Set (OP-R09HR-C), Silicone Rubber Case (OP-R09HR-S), Carrying Pouch (OP-R09HR-P), Microphone Stand Adaptor (OP-R09M), Stereo Microphone (CS-15), Carrying Case (CB-R09S), Roland Stereo Headphones (RH-300), and Roland In-Ear Headphones (RH-iE3).
