 Marantz
PMD660
Portable Compact Flash Recorder
The Marantz PMD660 is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. It
can run for hours on just four AA batteries. It records on Compact Flash
media cards and will store more than 36 hours of mono on a single card.
If audio quality is your key requirement, you get over an hour of pristine,
uncompressed, 16-bit .wav files. Editing can be achieved right there in
the field using either of two editing modes, or you can use your favorite
audio editing application by transferring files to your PC using the PMD660
USB port.
Run For Hours
The PMD660 will run for four hours on four AA cells. You can carry an
extra set around and not even notice they're there-not that you'll need
them. Suggested NiMH rechargeable batteries are Panasonic or Duracell.
Long Record Times
A single 1 GB flash card can hold up to 36 hours of uninterrupted audio
(monaural .mp3 at 64 kbps); for music recording, more than 17 hours high
quality compressed stereo (.mp3 at 128 kbps). And for uncompressed audio,
you can get about one and-a-half CDs worth of 16-bit linear PCM audio
at 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz on the same 1 GB card.
Professional I/O
The PMD660 offers two balanced XLR mic inputs with +48v phantom power.
And just in case you don't have the time, space or budget to use external
microphones, the PMD660 includes a stereo pair of condenser mics built
right in.
Editing and File Transfer
Edit right on the PMD660 with cut-and-paste simplicity using the "Copy
Segment" mode. You don't need to worry about mistakes, because the
PMD never erases your original recording. Once you have it the way you
like it (or if you prefer to edit on your computer or DAW), you can transfer
your audio files to a PC for broadcast or CD burning through the PMD660's
built-in USB Port.
Exclusive-"Virtual Track" Mode
For more sophisticated editing jobs, the PMD660 features Marantz Professional's
exclusive "Virtual Track" mode. In this mode, you can create
up to 99 virtual tracks-internal playlists of audio segments. You simply
tell the PMD660 what segments of a file to play, and in what order, and
it does it-without altering the original file in any way, and without
using up more card memory. Need 5 and 10-second sound bites and a two-minute
interview segment, all from the same file? It's easy with virtual tracks.
Optional Wired Remote
The RC600 wired remote control enables
you to start and stop 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.
One last thing. Because the PMD660 is a solid-state recorder, it has
no moving parts to break or service. There-it just paid for itself. And
it's only from Marantz Professional.
