Marantz PMD671 recorder
$999.00
Similar to the PMD670, but features 16 and 24 bit, up to 96K. Also has
Read-After-Write monitoring, so you can listen to what has already been laid
down, even while recording (or listen to another section of the file).
Unparalleled 24/96 Audio
Recording PCM audio at 24-bit resolution and 96 kHz sampling frequency is the
absolute state of the art for digital audio applications. It offers 256 times
the amplitude resolution, and more than twice the frequency resolution of
compact discs. New microphone preamps have even been designed to take advantage
of this quantum leap in fidelity.
RAW (VTH-Virtual Third Head)
Professional analog recorders had a dedicated "third head" to monitor recorded
signals after they were printed to tape. It was called, "confidence monitoring",
because it allowed engineers to be 100% confident about what they had
recorded as it was happening. The PMD671 is unique in offering the 21st century
version of this same functionality, by playing back the recorded data
simultaneously, rather than simply monitoring the input source.
Time Shift (Time-Shift Playback)
The same technology that allows the virtual third head also allows time-shift
playback capability. This means that as you continue to record an event, you can
back up and listen to various parts, and then return to listening to the event
in real-time. Court reporting and technical investigation may never be the same.
Professional I/O
Let's face it: plugging professional-grade microphones into an 1/8" jack is
asking for trouble. The PMD671 offers two balanced XLR mic inputs with +48v
phantom power, and all new audiophile quality microphone preamps. Caught in a
pinch?
The PMD671 includes a condenser mic built right in. Of course, RCA stereo line
I/O's and digital I/O's are also provided.
Long Battery Life
Tired of lugging around six extra D-Cells just so you can interrupt your
recording to change batteries half-way through an event? The PMD671 will run for
four to six hours on regular alkaline AA batteries. Also available as optional
accessories, the rechargeable NiCd battery (RB1100) will power the PMD671 for
4-5 hours while the NiMH battery (RB1651) will power the unit for 6-7 hours. And
both batteries can be charged in the unit eliminating the need for carrying
bulky battery chargers into the field.
Long Record Times
No more flipping tapes! A single 1 GB flash card can hold up to 70 hours of
uninterrupted audio (monaural .mp3 at 32 kbps). For music recording, the same
size card can hold more than 17 hours highquality compressed stereo (.mp3 at 128
kbps).
Solid State Technology
By storing audio data on Compact Flash (CF) media cards, all of the mechanical
hassles of tape recorders are gone forever-as are the costs of servicing and
maintaining them. Solid State Technology makes the PMD671 less vulnerable to
bumps, vibrations, and sonic deterioration over the long haul. Not only that,
but CF storage allows you to choose from several recording formats, and makes
file transfers to computers a snap.
USB 2.0 and file transfer
In the end, you'll probably want to transfer your audio to a PC for editing, and
then burn it to CD for broadcast, evidence, documentation, or just for
convenient playback. The PMD671's USB 2.0 port allows you to directly connect to
a computer for blazing fast transfers. Alternatively, you can remove the CF card
and use any standard CF card reader.
Optional Wired Remote
It would be great if every recording situation had a field engineer running
everything behind the scenes. Unfortunately, all too often it's just you,
wishing you had more hands. The RC600 wired remote control enables you to start
and pause recording, and to mark new track-starts on the fly. It even has a peak
meter right on the remote, so you can keep an eye on your recording, without
taking your eye off the ball.
Soft utility carrying pouch fits Marantz PMD670/671.
