Reduce operation noise with the remote control!!
You can adjust recording levels or start
playback using the remote control.
You can also eliminate worry about recording noise from button operations by using
the remote control even when recording
nearby.
No mechanical noise. Convenient built-in mic.
The R-09HR uses an SD card as its recording
media. Recording doesn’t involve moving
parts, so you don’t have to worry about
recording the mechanical noises associated
with tape- and disc-based recorders.
The built-in stereo mic is both practical and
powerful.

First, set the recording volume. Play a phrase
that has the highest volume, and then adjust the
recording level so that the R-09HR level meter
reaches the highest level without the PEAK
indicator, shown in red below, turning on.
If the level is set too low, delity is lost. If the
sound level is set too high, pops and snaps may
be produced.
See p. 45 in the Owner’s Manual for setting the

The left and right microphones on the R-09HR
record sound that the left and right ear, respectively, would hear. So, aim the R-09HR to directly
at what you want to record.
Also, moving closer to the sound source creates
a more distinct recording, while moving further
away softens the sound by recording the ambient sound of the room.

at the sound
source.

We recommend recording instruments in WAV format. However, because MP3 recordings are compact

Recording in 16 bit/44.1 kHz allows you to transfer data to the PC and burn a CD
without any conversion.
The MP3 data format was created to preserve the quality of WAV data while
compressing the le size. Until now, you had to convert WAV le to an MP3 on a
PC, but the R-09HR allows you to record in MP3 format directly. Not only can you
transfer data to a PC and distribute it directly on the internet, you can also record
hours of practice, taking advantage of the smaller le size.

Bands are louder than normal everyday sounds.
Set the mic gain in the back of the R-09HR to
LOW.
Set LIMITER/AGC to ON
Also, you should turn on the limiter. The limiter is
a feature that suppresses noise by lowering the
volume level when the sound input is too high.
What is a
good level?
Set to HIGH for quieter sounds
Set to LOW for louder sounds
Point
2
When instruments are placed in various locations
in a room, like a rehearsal studio, you should
position the R-09HR in the middle of the studio
to record the sound of each instrument equally.
The microphone should be placed at about
table height.
If the mic is placed on the fl oor, the sound is
muffl ed and unclear; if it is placed too high, you
lose the bass range and the sound becomes tinny.
Of course, once the R-09HR is setup, you can use
the remote to adjust the recording level or to
start/stop the recording.

Guide to the

Before recording the band, nd where the loudest sound occurs. Adjust the recording level so
that the R-09HR level meter reaches its highest
level without the PEAK indicator, shown in red
below, turning on.
Choose the sound quality according to the purpose.
If sound quality is important:
WAV
If long recording time is important:
MP3
Adjust so the PEAK
indicator light does
not turn on when the
loudest sound occurs
When you are using a remote control, you can use
the remote indicator to determine the recording
level. Adjust the level so that the remote indicator
does not blink fast.
See p. 45 in the Owner’s Manual for setting the
☞
recording level.
For example, we recommend recording in WAV
format when you want to archive material or
when you’ll use the recording as the master
for making a CD. WAV format maximizes the
features of the R-09HR, so it’s appropriate for
recordings you want to keep.
On the other hand, we recommend recording
in MP3 format when reviewing practices at rehearsal studios or when making long recordings.
You can leave the R-09HR recording for an entire
session for later review.
See p. 38-39 in the Owner’s Manual for setting
☞
the recording mode.
The optional Cover/Stand Set is not just a simple protective cover.
The optional cover/stand set (OP-R09HR-C) is not just a
protective cover—it connects to the included stand. The
cover can also attach to commercially available tripods
for cameras or video cameras. So if you need the extra
stability, you can use a tripod in place of the stand.
In addition, you can use the mic stand adaptor
(OP-R09M) to attach the R-09HR to a mic stand. With
a single mic stand, you can place the R-09HR in the
optimal position and the optimal height in the studio.
Convenient stand
