INFOCOMM, LAS VEGAS, NV, June 18, 2008 — As part of its commitment to offering comprehensive and efficient solutions for contractors and system integrators, Marantz® Professional is exhibiting its full line of digital recording products at InfoComm 2008.
The leader in revolutionizing solid-state recorder technology, Marantz Professional highlights several key products on display, offering a range of options for portable and installation recording and playback. Aside from their acclaimed PMD580 Rackmount Solid State Recorder, PMD620 Hand-Held Digital Compact Recorder and CDR310 Portable Professional CD Recorder, Marantz Professional features six other key products. These include the PMD570 and PMD560 Professional Installation Solid State Recorders; CDR420 Portable CD Recorder; award winning “hand-held” PMD660 Portable Solid State Recorder; PMD671 24-bit Portable Solid State Recorder; and CDR632 CD-R/RW Recorder.
The single-rack space PMD570 Solid State Recorder unit records in mono or stereo directly to Compact Flash cards in MP3, MP2, WAV and Broadcast WAV formats. With over 40 quality settings, the PMD570 supports sample rates from 16 to 48 kHz, and bit rates from 32 to 384 kbps, as well as full-quality 16-bit PCM resolution. The PMD570 is able to create a new file (track increment) while recording and files can be created in intervals of 1, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes as well as 1-, 2-, 6-, 8-, 12- and 24-hour intervals for long-term, unattended audio recording. A comprehensive input and output complement on the PMD570 includes balanced XLR line inputs with trim, unbalanced RCA line in and out, and stereo S/PDIF input and output on coaxial RCA jacks. Remote control is provided via full two-way RS-232C interfacing; users can set up, change and replace all preset settings with a PC. In addition the PMD570 features USB connectivity for easy linking and file transfer to a PC or Mac. Audio files can be instantly dragged and dropped to the computer, eliminating wasted time doing transfers.
The new PMD560 offers the same recording quality and RS-232 system control as the PMD570 with cost effective features. The PMD560 is a lower price alternative in the growing family of Marantz Professional solid state installation recorders.
The flexible CDR420 Portable CD Recorder features 44.1 kHz mono or stereo WAV and MP3 recording directly to the unit’s 20 GB hard drive; on-board cut-and-paste editing; USB 2.0 connection for PC backup and editing; and in-the-field audio or data CD burning. Users can also edit ID3 information and rip MP3 discs; copy redbook or MP3/WAV data discs; convert WAV files to MP3s; error check and defragment the hard drive with the USB connection and standard PC disc utilities; and name files and access commands with a standard PS/2 keyboard. The CDR420 features dual XLRs with +48V phantom power, as well as a separate built-in mic, making it the perfect choice for a wide range of portable recording applications.
The hand-held PMD660 Solid State Recorder features portable, battery-powered operation. It offers a choice of recording uncompressed WAV files at 44.1 or 48 kHz, as well as 64 kbps mono or 128 kbps stereo in MP3 format. Furthermore, the PMD660 has built-in stereo microphones and XLR connectors with +48V phantom power, and it is compatible with an optional RC600 wired remote (also available for the PMD570, PMD560, PMD620 and PMD671) that attaches to most any microphone to supply Record/Pause control, track marking and peak metering from the mic position.
The PMD671 Solid State Recorder offers multiple recording modes, long record times (up to 36 hours of stereo recording on a 1 GB Compact Flash card – not included), and up to 6 hours of battery time with standard AA alkaline batteries. The unit is capable of 24-bit, 96 kHz PCM high-resolution recording for unrivaled audio quality; a 1 GB Compact Flash (not included) card can provide up to 30 minutes of record time at high resolutions. The PMD671 also offers a long list of professional features such as Virtual Third Head (VTH) confidence monitoring; Time-Shift Playback, which allows the user to back up and listen to passages while continuing to record an event; XLR microphone inputs with phantom power; built-in condenser microphone; RCA line inputs; USB 2.0 connectivity for ultra-fast audio transfer to a PC; and an optional wired remote.
The rackmountable CDR632 CD-R/RW Recorder hosts a long list of features most demanded by the professional installation market, including sync (level-dependent) recording; programmable auto fade-in and fade-out recording; optional remote control operation; Adjustable Marantz Minute Track Mode, used to set various Time- or Level-dependent Auto Track Increments; recording to virtually any CD-R or CD-RW disc media; playback of un-finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs; MP3 playback; CD text display; and much more.
