Roland Unveils Digital Handheld Recorder At Music Messe 2008

Edirol by Roland announces the newest addition to its award-winning line of portable digital recorders, the R-09HR. Featuring an updated design with an upgraded pro-quality stereo microphone and an onboard preview speaker for instant audio playback, the R-09HR takes pristine portable recording to a new level.

The R-09HR features ultra high-quality condenser microphone elements and new low-noise preamp circuitry for professional quality recordings on the go. Users can record in .WAV or MP3 formats with resolution up to 24bit/96kHz, and can easily navigate recordings with its larger, wider high-contrast LED screen.



The R-09HR also comes with a wireless remote controller for convenient operation from a distance. It offers advanced features like speed control, variable low-cut filter, limiter, A-B repeat, record pause, time and date stamping, power save and more. The R-09HR records to SD/SDHC media cards up to 32GB, and includes Cakewalk's Pyro Audio Creator LE software for simple audio editing functions.

Slightly taller than its predecessor and featuring a new rubberized-grip body, the battery-powered R-09HR allows over 6 hours of recording with Alkaline batteries, and over 8 hours of recording with NiMH rechargeable batteries.
