Positioning
the R-09HR
It is best to plan where to point the mic by imag-
ining listening to the recording later. For exam-
ple, you can create a realistic feel by recording
the murmuring of a brook on the right and the
twittering of the birds on the left.
Increase realism with
stereo recording
When the wind is strong, try changing the mic
direction or to use some wind break, such as a
handkerchief or urethane sponge, so that the
wind doesn’t directly blow into the mic.
You can determine the right
direction by recording while
monitoring with head-
phones to keep noise from
being recorded.
Setting
sound quality
In normal situations, when you want even just
a little better quality, it’s best to record in WAV
format. However, if you’re recording outside, you
will probably want to record for an extended
time. For this situation, MP3 may be best. MP3
recordings are about 1/10 the size of WAV re-
cordings (at 128 kpbs).

When an external mic is convenient
Whenever you record outside, there’s always the
chance that you may not be able to get to the place
you want to record from. With an external mic, you can
sometimes reach those hard-to-get-to spots.
Use the optional stereo mic (CS-15), sold separately.
This mic can capture sound from a speci c location,
allowing you to target the sound you want. So you
can target the sound you want. And since the R-09HR
operates independently of the mic position, you can
move more freely in the outdoors.
Using LOW CUT to block wind noise
If a strong wind blows into the mic, other sounds will be
a ected by the sound of the wind.
Sometimes the wind is louder than the sound you’re
trying to record, making it impossible to get the
recording you want. If this happens, try turning on
LOW CUT located on the back of the R-09HR. Because
the wind sounds produce low frequencies, you can
reduce the noise by cutting out the lower frequencies
during recording.
