Big-time Sound Quality, Pocket-sized Recorder!

The R-09HR travels light and performs like a heavyweight! With stellar 24-bit/96kHz fidelity, the R-09HR records to SD or SDHC memory — up to 32GB! And it's got built-in electret condenser microphones for clear sound capture. This super-popular portable recorder includes a handy preview speaker, a wireless remote, a rubberized body, and built-in effects — how's that for feature-rich awesomeness? Version 2.0 adds wave editing functions, a metronome, a self-timer record, plus standard and graphic tuners with reference tone!

Experience precise audio clarity with a wider dynamic range when using the higher bit and sample rates that the R-09HR offers. The R-09HR supports up to 24-bit/96kHz linear PCM recording. I.A.R.C. (Isolated Adaptive Recording Circuit) is a dedicated analog circuit optimized for recording with the R-09HR's onboard A/D converter. The I.A.R.C. also contributes to high-quality, low-noise, and space-friendly MP3 recording with the R-09HR.

You don't need to lug external gear to get a great recording with the R-09HR. A stereo microphone is built right 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 onboard electret condenser microphone elements are ultra-sensitive and capture three-dimensional sound naturally and accurately. External microphones can also be used with the R-09HR's 1/8" stereo mic input.

Easily audition the recorded sounds immediately after recording without headphones, thanks to the built-in speaker. Use the included wireless remote control to manage transport functions, recording start, and input level control from a distance. This allows the R-09HR to be placed in exactly the right position for recording, and allows for quick and easy hands-free operation.

Connect the R-09HR to computers via USB for importing/exporting audio files. It supports 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 &mdash: perfect for WAV/MP3 audio file editing.

Simply put, modern electronic music wouldn't exist without Roland. Many of the electronic musicians here at Sweetwater cut our teeth on TR Rhythm machines and fondly remember programming our first TB-303s. We owe a good part of our careers to this amazing and innovative company. It's been fun to watch and grow right alongside Roland, as they've introduced wave after wave of revolutionary keyboards, digital pianos, and more. For example, Roland's V-Drum Kits continuously redefine the possibilities of electronic drums, beginning with SuperNATURAL technology to the latest Prismatic Sound Modeling. We're huge fans, and we'd love to tell you all about them. Whether you want a pocket-sized synth or a cutting-edge video mixer, if Roland makes it, then Sweetwater is 100% behind it.
