Then you're back to the battery issue. Hard to get with AA's.
Low power and small size seem to be the buzzwords for consumer
electronics these days, and the R-09 is defiinitely one of those. I'd
be happy with XLR connectors for the mics, but a pair of XLRs is about
the same size as the whole recorder.
Clearly what I want is not a consumer product, but the consumer price
tag sure has me conditioned as to what the functionality is worth. But
that's my problem. I could always buy a Sound Devices 722.
Then again, the R-09 can be held nicely in your hand while running
arond looking for cool sounds.
