This March brings a new kid on the block, as far as handheld recorders are concerned: the Edirol R-09HR and by all means, this one means serious business. This new piece of audio technology is the flagship of Edirol's R-series recorders and proudly carries on the acclaimed tradition of the brand.[admark=1]

Boasting a professional use and pristine 24/96 fidelity, the new Edirol R-09HR is one of the top-drawer tools for field-recording or other similar recording needs, especially when carrying around a lot of gear is highly impracticable.

Small and lightweight, the Edirol R-09HR can easily fit inside a pocket, being truly convenient to carry around with you in your trips and taking minimal space from your luggage.

But despite its moderate dimensions, this hip tool comes bundled with numerous pro-grade features to ensure the highest quality for your recordings.

The Edirol R-09HR is loaded with a special stereo microphone running with the proprietary Isolated Adaptive Recording Circuit, providing the electret condenser mics with ultra-sensitive characteristics and enhanced capability when capturing three-dimensional sound. Even more, this recorder comes with built-in analog input control, low-cut filter, auto gain control and gain boost functions, for a natural and precise recording.

The OLED display of the Edirol R-09HR will offer you extensive data on any job and its graphics will deliver you data on meters, peaks and all sorts of additional recording parameters. And for more control, you also get an internal speaker for instant preview of the recorded data, even without headphones; and if you thought that was not enough, the Edirol R-09HR comes with a wireless remote control, letting you access the transport functions from a distance.

This nifty recorder is easy to be interfaced with any computer as it supports USB 2.0 and runs with an SD memory card up to 8 GB. The audio editing software bundled with the Edirol R-09HR is the Cakewalk's Pyro Audio Creator LE, a complete audio solution, from recording to CD-burning. A wide range of dedicated accessories are available for the new Edirol R-09HR, while the recorded itself is set to start shipping this month for around $520.
