Additional Product Information

The Marantz PMD660 is the newest generation of "Flash Recorders". 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 Marantz PMD660 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 transfer to computers a snap. Our newest PMD recorder is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, but it has features that make more expensive, full-sized field recorders green with envy. It can run for hours on just four AA batteries. It records on Compact Flash media cards which you can find in any discount store, 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-the Marantz PMD660 even has its own USB port. XLR inputs, phantom power, built-in mics and more-it's all there in the Marantz PMD660. 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 Marantz 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. Long Record Times No more flipping tapes! A single 1 GB flash card can hold up to 36 hours of uninterrupted audio (monaural .mp3 at 64 kbps). For music recording, the same size card can hold more than 17 hours high quality compressed stereo (.mp3 at 128 kbps). If you need the unmatched quality of 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 Let's face it. Plugging professional-grade microphones into an 1/8" jack is asking for trouble. The Marantz 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 Marantz PMD660 includes a stereo pair of condenser mics built right in. Field recording means more than just "battery-operated." It takes ruggedness, flexibility, specialized features, and the highest audio quality. It also takes experience to really understand what happens in the field, and to design the right tools for the job. Marantz Professional has that experience. For more than 20 years, Marantz Professional has designed and built field recorders that are up to the challenge, and the Marantz PMD660 is no exception. Critical field applications like electronic journalism, technical investigation, and documenting legal proceedings have been waiting for a high-powered, high-quality, high-reliability solid-state recorder in a compact package. Now Marantz Professional has answered-with the Marantz PMD660. Our newest PMD recorder is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, but it has features that make more expensive, full-sized field recorders green with envy. It can run for hours on just four AA batteries. It records on Compact Flash media cards which you can find in any discount store, 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-the Marantz PMD660 even has its own USB port. XLR inputs, phantom power, built-in mics and more-it's all there in the Marantz PMD660. One last thing. Because the Marantz 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. Editing and File Transfer In the end, you'll probably want your audio to be used for broadcast, or burned to a CD for evidence, documentation, or just for convenient playback. You'll want to edit out dead air and irrelevant information. You can do this right on the Marantz 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 Marantz PMD660's built-in USB Port. Exclusive-"Virtual Track" Mode For more sophisticated editing jobs, the Marantz PMD660 features Marantz Professional's exclusive "Virtual Track" mode. In this mode, you can create up to 99 virtual tracks-internal play lists of audio segments. You simply tell the Marantz 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 It would be great if every recording situation had a field engineer running everything behind the scenes. Unfortunately, all to often it's just you, wishing you had more hands. 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.     Features Chart for Marantz Digital Recorders marantz PMD660 marantz PMD661 marantz PMD620 Image Status Existing Existing Existing Product Description Professional Solid-State Recorder Professional Solid-State Recorder Professional Handheld Recorder Footprint / W x H x D - Weight 4.5" x 1.9" x 7.2" 113 x 47 x 183.5 mm 500 g / 1 lb 1.6 oz 3.7" x 1.4" x 6.5" 93 x 36 x 165 mm 410 g / 14.5 oz 2.5" x 1" x 4" 62 x 25 x 102 mm 110 g / 3.9 oz Recording Media - Removable CF type2 SD / SDHC SD / SDHC Microdrive Compatibility X -- -- Channels Stereo/Mono Stereo/Mono Stereo/Mono Audio Encoding Format MP3/PCM MP3/PCM MP3/PCM MPEG Bitrate (kbps) Stereo 128 Mono 64 32 - 160/ch Full support 32, 64, 96/ch Sampling Frequency (kHz) 44.1/48 44.1/48 96 44.1/48 Digital Quantization 16 bits 24/16 bits 24/16 bits File Format (file extension) mp3/wave bwf (PCM only) mp3/wave (bwf) mp3/wave (bwf) BWF File Extension .wav .wav .wav Multi-Folder X Maximum Media Size (*in principle) 137GB 2TB* 2TB* Maximum File Size 4.3GB 4.3GB 4.3GB Continuous recording with make new file >4.3GB X X X (v2.27) RECORDING Pre-Record Cache 2s 2s Delay Recording Read-After-Write Monitor Dual Level Mono Recording X Silent Skip Recording X X X Manual Record Level /Balance L/R dial L/R dial Buttons (no balance) Limiter Automatic Level Control (ALC) X X X (Limiter) Filter HP (200Hz) /LP (8kHz) HP (200Hz) Manual Marking X X Auto Marking Voice activated Voice activated Manual Track (by REC button) X X X Auto Track Programmable Time Programmable Time Programmable Time Timer Recording X Mark Search Buttons X X Time/Date Stamp X X X Independent REC button (One-push REC) X X X Independent REC-PAUSE button X X X Display / Backlight LCD/blue OLED, 128 x 64 dots (Multi-language) OLED, 128 x 64 dots (Multi-language v2.27) Level Meter 8-point LED (3 colors) 10-point LED (3 colors, full/peak only/off selectable) & OLED OLED Peak Indicator X (LED level meter) X (2-point) Variable Bit Rate X (playback) X (playback) X (playback) Skip Back (Quick Replay) X (Programmable Time) X (Programmable Time) Speed Control X (+20%/-40%, 5% step) Locate X X Audible Search X X X Timer Playback X (3 events) Erase File X X X Record Undo X Divide X (wav/mp3) Text Input /Editing - File/Folder Rename X X Text Input /Editing - Machine ID X X X Formatting FAT32 (FAT16) Quick FAT16 (< 2G) / FAT32 FAT16 (< 2G) / FAT32 Renumber Time based sorting Time based sorting Virtual Track X Copy Segment X X X Included or Downloadable PC Editing / File Conversion Software PMD Mark Editor INPUT/OUTPUT Mic/Line IN XLR x 2 Mic IN XLR x 2 TRS 1/8" Phantom /Plug-in Power P48 P48 P5 Mic Attenuator (dB) / Gain / Sense ATT -20 (L/R/Int separate) ATT -6/-12/-18 (L/R/Int separate) ATT -12/-24 Built-In Microphone 2 /stereo 2 /stereo 2 /stereo Analog Line IN TRS 1/8" TRS 1/8" TRS 1/8" Analog Line OUT TRS 1/8" RCA x 2 TRS 1/8" Auto Input Select X Digital IN (SPDIF) RCA Data Port USB1.1, Type B USB2.0, Mini-B USB2.0, Mini-B Remote 2: Exclusive Wired Remote TRRS 1/8" Mic Remote TRRS 1/8" Mic Remote, Foot Pedal TRRS 1/8" Mic Remote, Foot Pedal Headphone Jack w/LC TRS 1/8" TRS 1/4" TRS 1/8" Built-In Speaker X X (stereo) X Preset Menu 3 presets 3 presets (nameable) 3 presets (nameable) Preset Data Save /Load X X X Main Battery 4 x AA 4 x AA 2 x AA Battery Life (Alkaline /Record /Typical) 4 hrs 5 hrs 5 hrs Power Consumption 4W 4.2W 1.5W Software Update via CF via SD via SD Card slot cover w/screw X X (no screw) X (no screw) Key Lock X X X Media Included 1GB CF 1GB SD 1GB SD Real Time Clock Backup Time >5y >5y >5y Multi Voltage Power Supply X X X Tripod Mount X X (w /attachment) Included Accessories AC Adaptor X X X USB Cable X X X Audio Cable X X X Carrying/Handy Strap X X X Tripod/Belt Clip Adaptor X Memory Card 1GB CF 1GB SD 1GB SD Software (CD-ROM) X Optional Acccessories AC Adaptor DA660 DA620 DA620 Rechargeable Batteries (& Charger) Wired Remote RC600 RC600 RC600 Remarks Click here to download the Marantz Digital recorder Mic Remote: REC, PAUSE, MARK Mic Remote: REC, PAUSE, MARK MIC Remote jack includes Dictation /Transcription foot pedal connectivity Foot Pedal: PLAY, FF, FR Mic Remote: REC, PAUSE, MARK MIC Remote jack includes Dictation /Transcription foot pedal connectivity (v2.03) Foot Pedal: PLAY, FF, FR To link to this page just copy & paste the code below. <a title="PMD660, 2 Free Mics, and Shipping Only $499" target="_blank" href="http://www.pmd660.com">http://www.pmd660.com</a>
