The sound quality, the use of SD card, the AA batteries power format and the universal platform access make it precious. Once you got it in hands, you'll see that it's a pretty cool design but moreover, it is quick on its feet for fast recording needs. If you have the occasion, try it, you'll see. The new R09HR make me salivate but since My R09 is still top shape, I'll wait for a new one ;)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nicolas Letarte]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 6th 2008 10:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Edirol spruces up its high-end voice recorder with the R-09HR]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/edirol-spruces-up-its-high-end-voice-recorder-with-the-r-09hr/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/edirol-spruces-up-its-high-end-voice-recorder-with-the-r-09hr/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah you can definitely use this to record concerts.  My brother owns one, and he's got a nice set of binaural microphones.  He records environmental sounds, shows, etc.  The quality of the device is pretty stunning, as is the sound fidelity.

I might actually use these in a professional setting if it weren't for functions like that that are pretty useless in my application (news gathering).  In all seriousness, the R-09 was a nice little unit and hopefully this one improves even further upon its design.  I'll stick with the Marantz PMD660...A bit more rugged than these and no featues that could get an inexperienced user in trouble.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Shane]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 6th 2008 3:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Edirol spruces up its high-end voice recorder with the R-09HR]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/edirol-spruces-up-its-high-end-voice-recorder-with-the-r-09hr/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/edirol-spruces-up-its-high-end-voice-recorder-with-the-r-09hr/</guid><description><![CDATA[Calling this a voice recorder is a bit like calling a Ducati a bicycle LOL.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[thiel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 6th 2008 7:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Edirol spruces up its high-end voice recorder with the R-09HR]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/edirol-spruces-up-its-high-end-voice-recorder-with-the-r-09hr/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/edirol-spruces-up-its-high-end-voice-recorder-with-the-r-09hr/</guid><description><![CDATA[I own the R-09, and use it to record my Metal band's practice each day so we don't forget any new riffs and song ideas.

The Edirol E90 is an AWESOME recorder, it's convenient, fits neatly into a pocket, stores hours of audio and it's descrimination between near and far sounds is unbelievable.  You can use it to interview someone in a crowd of noisy people and still get the subject's voice clearly. It's simple to use, but has neat features if you want them. Never had a problem with it, sound quality is better than some standard microphones can offer.  Cannot fault it.
