Situation
The outstanding
features of the R-09HR
Setting
the recording level
Set the R-09HR mic gain to HIGH when record-
ing bird songs or other quiet sounds. This setting
makes the microphone very sensitive so that
even the smallest sounds are captured.
Conversely, set the mic gain to LOW when
recording nearby loud noises such as trains for
proper mic sensitivity.
Set to HIGH for quieter sounds
Set to LOW for louder sounds
After setting the mic gain, check the input level.
Remember to check the PEAK indicator when
the loudest sound is heard!
See p. 45 in the Owner’s Manual for setting the
recording level.

Using the Limiter
E ectively
The limiter is a feature that reduces the re-
cording level when the sound being recorded
becomes too high. When the limiter is on and a
loud sound is suddenly played, the noise is
moderated.
But, if the sound being recorded often goes over
the set input level, then a sound that you want
may be moderated. When you listen to the re-
cording later, the overall sound may be muffl ed.
In the end, setting the input level to the correct
level is a major point.
