[. . . ] 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. Use the optional stereo mic (CS-15), sold separately. 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?Where should I point it? First, set the mic gain to HIGH. 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. You can also turn AGC (Auto Gain Control) on. 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. 102 of the Owner's manual to set the function of the LIMITER/AGC switch. The R-09HR with the optional cover/stand set. The R-09HR looks quite stylish on the tripod. The external microphone can also be setup as shown. Point 3 Setting sound quality Point 4 Playback Feature can also be used for transcribing Practical Guide to the edirol r-09hr Since the purpose of recording a meeting is to be able to hear what is being said, there is no strict requirement for good sound quality. More importantly, the recording will often be for an extended time, so MP3 is probably the best format. MP3 is recommended for extended recordings You can change the R-09HR playback speed by pressing the SPEED button during playback. [. . . ] If you use the optional Stereo Microphone CS-15, you can zero-in on specific sounds. For example, when recording outdoors, if you want to record the sound of the river, wind, and bird songs, then the internal microphone is best. If you want to record just one of these sounds, the external Stereo Microphone CS-15 is best. You can make the best recordings by choosing the microphone that fits the situation.
