Note: The recorder allows you to rename les, refer to the manual for how to do this,

however, this is easier to do once you move the les to your project folder.

Compared to the R-09, the R-09HR and R-05 menus may have additional options, but the menu options are very similar.

1. The audio level meters show you the audio signal level

relative to 0, which is full scale. Numbers on the meter

refer to dB (decibels, ratios used to measure sound)

2. Levels below -40 db are too low, the sound you are

recording will be lost amongst the noise inherent in

the system.

3. Levels with peaks that are dancing between -12 to -6 db

on the meters is a nice happy medium, it’s OK for soft

passages to go down to -30 as long as you’re getting

some peaks in the vicinity of -12 to -6 db.

4. Levels that peak beyond 0 on the meters (full scale)

trigger the “P” peak indicator and red PEAK light are too

high. This means that the audio waveform peaks are

being chopped o resulting in a harsh and raspy

sound.

Notes:

1. These screens are of the R-09, the R-09HR and R-05 screens

are a little dierent, but essentially the same;

2. The numbers on the meter refer to db (decibels, a unit of

sound measure) below 0db “full scale” (the maximum level that

can be recorded).
