Edirol R09 Mic Minijack

The mic input minijack on my Edirol R09 has broken. It's still in there, but lose.

It happened while I was recording very loud waves and wind on Makara Beach. So I was able to keep recording using the line in socket.

Now though my R09 is back to it's original, intended use: a pocket recorder that'll I'll always have with me.

And in the next few days, I'll be upgrading to a big-boy's recorder, a Fostex FR-2LE. Excited!

Got to use the Sound Devices 702 at the weekend. It spoils us it really does. Using Shure SM63s, with the gain up full, the limiter takes care of all the rest. No distortion… amazing.
