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).

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

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.

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.

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