Owner's Manual for setting the recording Point 3 Positioning the R-09HR Point 4 Setting sound quality Practical Guide to the edirol r-09hr It is best to plan where to point the mic by imagining listening to the recording later. For example, you can create a realistic feel by recording the murmuring of a brook on the right and the twittering of the birds on the left. In normal situations, when you want even just a little better quality, it's best to record in WAV format. However, if you're recording outside, you will probably want to record for an extended time. MP3 recordings are about 1/10 the size of WAV recordings (at 128 kpbs). Recording time for 256 MB 300 minutes Chapter 1 The outstanding features of the R-09HR Increase realism with stereo recording 250 minutes 200 minutes When the wind is strong, try changing the mic direction or to use some wind break, such as a handkerchief or urethane sponge, so that the wind doesn't directly blow into the mic. You can determine the right direction by recording while monitoring with headphones to keep noise from being recorded. Chapter 150 minutes 100 minutes 50 minutes minutes WAV (44. 1 kHz/16 bit) MP3 (44. 1 kHz/128 kbps) 2 Situation practical use technique When an external mic is convenient Whenever you record outside, there's always the chance that you may not be able to get to the place you want to record from. With an external mic, you can sometimes reach those hard-to-get-to spots. This mic can capture sound from a specific location, allowing you to target the sound you want. And since the R-09HR operates independently of the mic position, you can move more freely in the outdoors. Chapter 3 Applied technique Chapter Using LOW CUT to block wind noise If a strong wind blows into the mic, other sounds will be affected by the sound of the wind. Sometimes the wind is louder than the sound you're trying to record, making it impossible to get the recording you want. If this happens, try turning on LOW CUT located on the back of the R-09HR. Because the wind sounds produce low frequencies, you can reduce the noise by cutting out the lower frequencies during recording. 4 Appendix Turn LOW CUT on to cut out lower frequency sounds 15 Situation 6 Recording meetings 16 Chapter 1 The outstanding features of the R-09HR Chapter 2 Situation practical use technique Chapter Point 1 Setting the recording level for meetings Point 2 What mic should I use?For normal everyday volumes, such as meetings, setting the mic sensitivity to HIGH is best. You can do level checks by putting the R-09HR into recording standby during the pre-meeting chatter. It automatically raises or lowers the recording level to match the loudness of the sound. When you listen later, you will have a record that has a balanced volume. Because the same switch is used for the limiter, set the switch function to AGC on/off. The R-09HR mic is omnidirectional, so if you want to record all participants equally in order to clearly record conversation, place it in the middle of the table. When placing it on the table, you can eliminate noise from the table by using a cover stand set (OP-R09HR-C), sold separately. You should exercise some caution because a loud noise for even a short time can interfere with recording the conversation. Also, when recording a distant single speaker or sound source, such as a lecture, it is advantageous to use the separately sold stereo mic (CS-15). This mic records only the sound from the targeted point, so you can reduce the sounds from the audiences, such as talking or coughing. 3 Applied technique Chapter Set LIMITER/AGC to ON SET MIC GAIN to HIGH 4 Appendix See p. [. . . ] 52 of the Owner's Manual for details on sequential playback. 2 Options for recording on the R-09HR Chapter Cover/Stand Set OP-R09HR-C 24 1 The outstanding features of the R-09HR Chapter The R-09HR cover is a special cover that preserves the surface of the R-09HR and protects the unit from impact. Attach the stand included with the Cover/Stand Set or a commercially available tripod to set the R-09HR at the desired height and angle. 2 Situation practical use technique Chapter Use the included stand as a convenient hand grip to reduce handling noise. The cover can be attached to commercially available tripods. 3 Applied technique Chapter Microphone Stand Adaptor OP-R09M The Microphone Stand Adaptor allows you to attach the R-09HR to a microphone stand. Because the R-09HR can be attached to microphone stands in the rehearsal studio, you can freely set it anywhere. The Microphone Stand Adaptor is essential for studio recordings! Pouch OP-R09HR-P 4 Appendix The R-09HR cover attaches directly to microphone stands when using the mic stand adaptor (OP-R09M). There are many optional items (sold separately) available to help you optimize your recordings on the R-09HR. [. . . ]
