Solid State Portable

Edirol R1

The R-1 combines a portable MP3 player with a high-quality MP3/WAV recorder that will suit both audio professionals as well as musicians and provides a high recording quality in a portable device. Using top-grade components the R-1 can record and playback at crystal-clear, 24-bit audio resolution without compression.

Audio is stored as stereo files directly onto removable CompactFlash™ cards, allowing for maximum flexibility in recording time. Up to nine format-quality modes are provided, ranging from 64 - 320kbps MP3 compression to 24-bit linear WAV format.

The R-1 is equipped with a stereo omni-directional Electret Condenser Mic for quick recording and because there are no moving parts there is no noise for the mic to pick up. It also features both external microphone and line inputs for stereo dynamic or plug-in powered electret condenser mics.

Additional features include simple one-touch recording; just press the REC button, the level indicator pops up on the display, and you're instantly ready to record. Internal effects include a noise suppressor, hum-cut, EQ, reverb, center cancel, and more.

The R-1 can be used as an MP3 player and runs on two AA batteries or from the included AC adaptor. In addition to the headphone output and external audio inputs, the R-1 can connect to computers via USB 2.0 for importing/exporting WAV / MP3 audio files. The headphone jack also doubles as a S/PDIF optical output.

Edirol R09

Building on the success of the R-1, the R-09 takes many of the most desired features including 24-bit uncompressed recording and a built-in stereo mic and shrinks it all down into a more streamlined, stylish, and affordable package.

It’s ultra small and looks like a gadget, but make no mistake — the R-09 is a serious, top-quality professional recorder. Capture source material at a crystal-clean 24-bit resolution with your choice of 44.1 or 48kHz sample rates. You can record and play back in MP3 format as well (up to 320kbps). Once recorded, your files can be monitored through the R-09’s headphone jack and/or exported to a computer via USB.

To record audio into the R-09, there’s no extra gear to buy and no cables to connect. A quality stereo microphone is built right into the unit, complete with a dedicated input control, mono/stereo selector, low-cut filter, and gain boost. Just point and record! If you wish to use an external microphone, the R-09 offers a 1/4" mic input. The R-09 is more affordable than its predecessor, the R-1. One reason the R-1 carries a heavier price tag is because of its well-stocked lineup of internal effects. The R-09 isn’t devoid of effects, however. It contains the world’s most-requested/desired effect: reverb. Whether you’re listening to WAV or MP3 files, you can route the R-09’s playback through its internal reverb processor, immersing it in lush, user-controllable ambience.

The R-09 is perfect for capturing live music events, recitals, and rehearsals. It’s also handy as a songwriter’s sketchpad, ensuring that no moment of inspiration is lost. But the R-09 has many valuable uses outside of the music world as well. Students can use it to record lectures. Broadcasters and journalists can throw away their antiquated cassette recorders and use the R-09 for in-the-field interviews. Wherever, whenever there’s a need to capture audio, the R-09 can do it hassle-free thanks to its built-in microphone and long battery operation.
