Marantz PMD 660

The Marantz PMD 660 is a handheld version of the popular PMD 670.

It represents a professional, full-scale digital recorder in a compact body. Equipped with XLR microphone input with Phantom power and -20dB attenuation the one-touch operation records to widely available Microdrives or Compact flash cards. Features include non-stop record with 4 hours of battery life, and an EDL marking system for creating new files on-the-fly during the recording for easy file selection during playback.

There will also be an optionally available RC600 remote control which fits around a handheld microphone. This allows remote operation of Rec, Rec Pause &, Mark and connects directly to the PMD 660 to simplify interview and news gathering.

RC600 Remote Controller

Recording in the field usually means recording in real-time. You’re documenting things as they happen, and you don’t have the luxury of backing up and starting over. Often, your concentration, efficiency, and reaction time can make or break the interview. The new RC600 Mic Remote works with the PMD660, PMD671, or PMD570 to control critical functionsand view recording status literally at your fingertips, without running back and forth between your subject and your equipment.

In addition to Record and Pause buttons, a Mark button makes later navigation and editing easy. Finally, a three-color LED keeps you informed about record status and peak levels so you can keep your attention where it belongs — at the microphone.

Marantz PMD 670

The Marantz PMD 670 is the second generation solid state recorder, recording audio directly as files to Compact Flash or Microdrive storage formats, which can then be inserted directly into a computer for editing and distribution. Building on the success of the PMD 680 and 690, the PMD 670 incorporates a range of additional features such as switchable sampling frequencies, USB and removable covers over the main control panel and media drive.

Featuring a brand new engine, capable of recording in the popular high compression MP3 format as well as MP2 and uncompressed linear PCM, the PMD 670 has the flexibility to be used in a wide variety of portable recording situations. In addition to variable bitrates (controlling file size and recording time), the PMD 670 has selectable sampling rates (16khz up to 48khz), for added control in both compressed and uncompressed recording.

The USB port allows for subsequent software upgrades and high speed direct download from the machine without removing the media, while lockable covers can be fitted to both the card slot and the recording settings, so an engineer or technical manager can set up the unit confident that changes cannot be accidentally made during use.
