Introducing the
Marantz Professional PMD661, a highly robust, versatile professional
handheld PCM / MP3 recorder, which joins a range including the highly
successful PMD620, PMD660 & PMD670.
The PMD661 sports a professional broadcast feature set alongside major new
design innovations, including a significantly smaller footprint than the
PMD660, an improved top facia layout with fewer buttons and more highly
developed use of multi-functional operation. Measuring just 165 x 93 x 36 mm
(6.5” x 3.7” x 1.4”), is 1/3 smaller than the PMD660, and combined with the
improved control layout it ensures comprehensive single handed operation.
The new feature set includes an integrated high quality stereo condenser
microphone array for ‘point and shoot’ operation, and a highly visible 128 x
64 dots matrix OLED (organic LED) display.
Improving on the specifications of the PMD660, the PMD661 features both
balanced mic and balanced line XLR inputs, as well as unbalanced line outs
on RCA connectors and a secondary unbalanced line in on 3.5 mm mini jack
connector. Also included for the first time at this price point within the
Marantz range is a high resolution 24-bit / 96 kHz recording option (PCM).
The PMD661 utilises SD flash media, the most widely available and fastest
developing flash memory format. Compatibility with SDHC media means that
cards currently up to 32 GB in size can be used. High capacity media storage
is matched by six hours recording time from four AA Alkaline / Ni-MH
batteries. Drag and drop file transfer is supported via the USB 2.0 port.
PMD Marker Editor: For the first time Marantz Professional has bundled it’s
Marker Editor software free in the box. PMD Mark Editor allows the marker
points made on the recorded file to be adjusted post-recording, and a new
file created, meaning basic editing can be carried out on any handy PC or
laptop, and files posted for immediate distribution.
