Situation
Setting
the recording level
First, set the recording volume. Play a phrase
that has the highest volume, and then adjust
the recording level so that the R-09 level meter
reaches the highest level without the PEAK
indicator, shown in red below, turning on.
When the PEAK
indicator turns on,
the volume is too high.
If the level is set too low, delity is lost. If the
sound level is set too high, pops and snaps may
be produced.
See p. 37 in the Owner’s Manual for setting the
recording level.

Positioning
the R-09
The left and right microphones on the R-09
record sound that the left and right ear, respec-
tively, would hear. So, aim the R-09 to directly at
what you want to record.
Also, moving closer to the sound source creates
a more distinct recording, while moving further
away softens the sound by recording the ambi-
ent sound of the room.
Aim directly
at the sound
source.
See “Techniques for recording specic instru-
ments” on p. 18 in this guide for recording
dierent instruments.
