Hi Sandra, In part 2 of the review, we discovered that that low hum wass his refrigerator. He even took us close to it and let us hear it. I am certain that the R-09 is not causing this, since the R-01 doesn't have the problem, and they wouldn't make a retrograde step now, would they? The built-in mics are improved on the R-09 as well, and the recordings are louder, which is an improvement. I want one! All the best -- Computer Room Services: the long cane for blind computer users.

The man thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, both from the point of view of usability without sight and the quality of the recording. I have to agree that the overall quality of the recording, using the Edirol's built in mikes, was superb. There was a low frequency hum throughout the recording which bothered me a bit, and I can't quite decide whether it was something in his house, such as an air conditioning unit, or it was produced by the Edirol. There's another review coming up on Blind Cool Tech in the next couple of days, covering points that the other reviewer left out, and I'll be interested to see if the hum is still present. If it's not, then I'll know it was something electrical in the environment of the other reviewer. If it is, then I'd have to say I'd be concerned that such a high priced recorder let itself down in this way. Have a listen and see what you think yourself. Cheers, Sandra. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
