Placing
the R-09
In rehearsal studios, instruments are placed in vari-
ous locations throughout the room. To record the
sound from each instrument equally, place the R-09
in the middle of the studio at about the height of a
table. Placing the R-09 on the oor can garble the
sound and the recording will not be clear. If the R-09
is placed too high, the lower frequencies will be
dropped and the recording will sound tinny.

Setting
sound quality
Choose the sound quality according to the purpose.
If sound quality is important:
WAV
If long recording time is important:
MP3
For example, we recommend recording in WAV
format when you want to archive material or
when you’ll use the recording as the master for
making a CD. WAV format maximizes the fea-
tures of the R-09, so it’s appropriate for record-
ings you want to keep.
On the other hand, we recommend recording
in MP3 format when reviewing practices at re-
hearsal studios or when making long recordings.
You can leave the R-09 recording for an entire
session for later review.
See p.30-31 in the Owner’s Manual for setting
the recording mode.

The optional Cover/Stand Set is not just a simple protective cover.
The optional cover/stand set (OP-R09C) is not just a
protective cover—it connects to the included stand. The
cover can also attach to commercially available tripods
for cameras or video cameras. So if you need the extra
stability, you can use a tripod in place of the stand.
In addition, you can use the mic stand adaptor
(OP-R09M) to attach the R-09 to a mic stand. With a
single mic stand, you can place the R-09 in the opti-
mal position and the optimal height in the studio.
