Marantz PMD671
Professional Compact Flash Recorder

Marantz has raised the bar, exponentially. The Marantz PMD671 can record 24-bit, 96 kHz audio for the highest sound quality available in the field or even in the studio. The ability to read-after-write offers completely new levels of functionality never before available in a field recorder. Even the mic preamps have been dramatically improved. Then add programmable presets, and changing formats on the fly is as easy as pressing a button. Serious professionals need serious tools. If your application requires uncompromising audio, unflinching reliability, and unprecedented functionality, you owe it to yourself to take a very serious look at the PMD671.

Extensive Capability
Designed with compatibility for MP3, MP2, BWF, and WAV formats, the PMD671 boasts an impressive 40 assignable quality settings as well as a FAT32 file allocation table for future multi-gig file capability.

Simple Operation
With the flip of a switch, users can record audio files to affordable and widely available microdrives or compact flash cards.

Transfer Audio Files to PC
A tabletop portable model, the PMD671 features a USB 2.0 I/O connection that allows it to be easily linked for rapid file transfer. Users can drag and drop recorded audio files to their computer's hard drive without the real-time delay disadvantages of cassette, mini disc, or DAT recording.
