The outstanding
features of the R-09HR

Setting the recording

level for meetings

First, set the mic gain to HIGH. For normal every-
day 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 bal-
anced volume.
Because the same switch is used for the limiter,
set the switch function to AGC on/o .
Set LIMITER/AGC to ON

SET MIC GAIN to HIGH

See p. 102 of the Owner’s manual to set the
function of the LIMITER/AGC switch.

What mic should I use?

Where should I point it?

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 advan-
tageous 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.

quite stylish on the tripod.
