New Edirol R-09 Wav/MP3 recorder
Looks interesting....
http://www.edirol.net/products/en/R-09/ On the plus side: - it does 24-bit, 48,000 - price looks right - very portable - does MP3 or uncompressed On the down side: - no XLR - no phantom power - no S/PDIF |

Take a look at the new Sony PCM-D1 for a great piece of kit.

At $1850, the Sony had better be very, very good.

micro budgets
not everyone has deep enough pockets for the sony...
The R-9 is comparable to the M-Audio Microtrack: http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_u...rack-main.html One advantage of the R-9 is that it takes AA batteries, where as the Microtrack does not. So you can keep a few rechargables on hand for longer trips. Now I just want to see some tests on the R-9 sound quality... |

On a minidisc forum some guy said that an Edirol rep told
him that the R09 will do 48V phantom. |

I wonder how it could possibly do 48V Phantom when it seems to only have 1/8" miniplug inputs? I thought you would need XLR.
EDIT: The specs on the Edirol site say "plug-in power," which makes sense with miniplugs. I wonder if there's a way to convert prosumer "plug-in power" to professional 48V phantom? |

does the phantom. I had thought you'd need XLR but someone told me that 1/4" can do it also, with a 1/4" to XLR adapter. Maybe Edirol is holding off on announcing the phantom so they don't run into the trouble MicroTrack did, where they originally said/implied it would be 48V but then it was only 30V. I do know that 2 AA batteries, such as the Edirol will use, can provide 48V for 4-6 hours. I think this might have been the problem with MictroTrack, that their built-in battery wouldn't run very long at 48V. But with AAs you can always replace ... or do what I do and use lithiums, for twice the run time. P.S. I saw a picture of the Edirol with a 1/4" plugged into it at a long side of the device, at about the mid point. If it doesn't do phantom at all, I'd be disinclined to get it. |

I'm seeing no one advertise phantom power so I'm
really starting to wonder. Suppose it's the same as the R-1, having no phantom. I heard the reps were talking phantom at NAMM but maybe they were confused about plug-in 3V for electret mikes. Guess I won't be getting it. |

FlashMic Sennheiser High Quality Mike built in Recorder!
Here is an interesting digital sound recorder option. It's a professional digital recording microphone. Combining a high-quality, Sennheiser omni-directional condenser capsule with an built in broadcast-quality Flash recorder. I was thinking of using this in location environments that were wireless microphone unfriendly.
