I bought the Edirol R-09 primarily to record the soundtrack to my recent wedding. I also bought a small, good quality tie-clip microphone. The sound of the ceremony and the speeches was far better than could have been achieved by using a directional mic placed on the camcorder, and eliminated a lot of background noise, like babies screaming and echoing from people shuffling their feet. The recording quality in WAV mode is absolutely exceptional, whether used with the built-in microphones or an external mic. In playback, the noise sounds just like someone speaking. It doesn't sound like a recording of someone speaking. With a pair of 2700mAh NiMH batteries and a 4GB memory card, you can capture hours of amazing quality recordings. The unit is very small and pocketable, and despite reports I read about it having a delicate or fiddly battery cover, I have never found it to be the slightest trouble. The only problem I have ever had was when I encountered a copy error copying a very large file from one of the memory cards through an external card reader, but when copied via the unit's built-in mini USB port, the file copied without problem. The screen is extremely readable in almost any light, and the real-time level meters are absolutely fantastic. It has settings for mic sensitivity, and recording with extermal mics works just fine. I have a powered tie-clip mic, and a Rode VideoMic, and with the latter, I can make perfect recordings of the most minute sounds. I was able to capture the noise of champagne being poured into a glass, as a video dub effect, and the playback is truly incredible. The auto-gain control feature is great for recording meetings when people are at different distances from the mic, and it has a low cut feature to reduce rumble and handling noises from holding the device. Even seemingly insignificant features like the tiny non-slip rubber feet on the bottom make it feel like you're using a quality piece of kit. I've heard that they can be a tad fragile if dropped, but it has a lanyard hook to attach a wrist strap to if you're of a butter-fingered nature. I've never dropped mine (yet) so I can't say whether it would suffer a fall without damage. I don't plan to find out. All-in-all, if you want to have the ability to make extremely high quality live recordings, you just can't go wrong with this unit. Highly recommended.

I had to upgrade from a little sony micro-cassette recorder and decided to invest in a higher priced solid state recorder. It was a bargain at 300. Without external microphone it made perfect recording of noisy meetings of up to 20 people in rooms that echo. On the lowesr level mp3 it picks up everything clearly and with a 2 gig sd stick it has huge capacity and is easy to download to cd or pc via usb. Only problem is the lack of a carrying case but the audio performance is outstanding and the machine is easy to operate.
