Reviews: Edirol R-09 Recorder

It’s been a while since we last featured a recorder review, so here’s something you can take a look at in case you’re in the market for one. The Edirol R-09 audio recorder is a portable gadget that’s capable of recording sound without too much of the ambient noise. It’s perfect for outdoor sessions, interviews and other events.

The Edirol R-09 handheld audio recorder ($399) is designed primarily for the needs of musicians and songwriters who want a simple, all-in-one gadget for capturing recordings of their performances and song ideas. Its compact size, outstanding sound quality, and affordable price make the Edirol R-09 equally well-suited for less glamorous applications such as recording interviews, mobile reporting, and field recording.

On the downside, the review mentions that you can’t edit on-the-fly, requiring you to upload the recorded audio to a computer first. Also, the LCD doesn’t work well outdoors. Other than that, the Edirol R-09 performs reasonably well, earning a 7.7 out of 10.
