I use it for 6 months, and I shall decide finally write a ptite note about it.

I love:

- Weight, small size, its catch-all look good for recording without attracting attention, I also used a plane to the United States and was not even taken for a terrorism, despite the large button in the center red light (disables the options of energy management.
- The quality of his pickups (I'm not a pro microphones, but when you rcoute a conversation it seems to be there, it's disturbing)
- Its display, quite handy to see where we are level gain, time remaining etc.
- DIFFERENT its bitrate for MP3 (as with a simple calculation quickly adjust the quality we know if we have forgotten to empty completemnet memory card before making a new decision)
- Microphones that can make sounds super strong without saturating (with a gain well rgl. GLR on "low gain", with the input level 5 / 30, I can go with the middle of the techno track in boxes and the quality is nickel (for a recording arm outstretched).

I regret:

- Electrical consumption, when I can I put it on adapter avoid it let me go full registration (see the use that I do)
- The connection of entries not famous ... the minijack and that's it (I would have AIM CINCH)
- AGC (auto gain control) and a little crazy in the end everyone avoids using
- Lack of reliability of the internal clock when recording (a few drops frames from time to time, so if you record six hours to two R09, they will end up if we put dsynchroniser rating rating on a multitrack sequencer, or to necessarily cut and make micro-adjustments to keep a relatively synchro acceptable).
- Noise when you push high gain

I bought two, I use to record my dj-sets in a box. I a branch on the mixing desk in line in and one I pose in front of me face the crowd throughout the evening. Go home, I take the two files, I sync to my audio prfr arranger and I mix to get the complte sional, with the music and the crowd derrire.

Bought 399 / pice at Orbit, I find it a bit too expensive (half price would be ca nickel) but still it is good quality and we are happy to have them. In this price range I would do this choice.
