External Mic issues with Edirol R09 HR
So I upgraded to an Edirol recently and tried it out using my external mics I've used for about 3 years.
Nothing but problems. Doesn't matter if I use the mic input or line in and have the record level cranked all the way all I get is distant distorted sound and it barely registers on the meters... there is nothing wrong with my mics as the still work with the old equipment. If I remove the mics then the internal ones work fine... Anyone have this problem or can provide any suggestions I am using Sound Professionals Modular Binaural Microphones (SP-BMC-3) btw No members have liked this post.

Re: External Mic issues with Edirol R09 HR
Are you using a battery box? Or do you have the plug-in power on the R-09HR turned on?

Re: External Mic issues with Edirol R09 HR
can't seem to find the specs on the R-09 HR's phantom power, could be that the phantom power is turned on but not supplying the correct voltage as well

Re: External Mic issues with Edirol R09 HR
Sounds like you got the newer Edirol (HR). I've been using the R-09 with and without Core Sounds mics. The EXACT problem you state happened to me when I DIDN'T shut the plug in power off. Hopefully it's that simple, but I have zero knowledge on your mics you use. Besides this issue how is the new Edirol? Been contemplating purchasing one.

It works great even with the internal mics. The biggest pain in the ass I've found is that it has two blinking light on it when it is recording. A couple pieces of hockey tape fixed that. There is a very simple way to deal with that issue.It will flash a few times then the red light stays on.If you follow the simple directions below,after a few flashes it turns itself off,so there is no red light at all while recording. this info was given to me when i had this problem. Go to "Display Setup" Scroll Down to "Rec/Peak LED" and change to "Power Save" No members have liked this post.

Re: External Mic issues with Edirol R09 HR
With the Edirol R-09HR using external mics with a batt box is the plug-in power switch supposed to be on or off?
