PMD661MKII | Handheld Solid
State Recorder
Introducing the Marantz
Professional PMD661 MKII,
the long awaited
successor to the popular
PMD661 professional
compact digital audio
recorder, now offering
many improved recording
and security features.
The
PMD661 MKII sports a
refined professional
feature set that builds
upon the legacy of the
original PMD661 by
maintaining the
ergonomic top facia
layout focused around
highly developed
multi-functional
controls, ensuring
comprehensive single
handed operation.
The
hardware feature set
includes an
integrated
high-quality stereo
condenser
microphone array for
‘point and shoot’
operation,
switchable balanced
mic/XLR line inputs,
as well as
unbalanced line
outputs on RCA
connectors and a
secondary unbalanced
line input on 3.5 mm
mini jack connector.
Measuring just 165 x
93 x 36 mm (6.5” x
3.7” x 1.4”) with a
highly visible 128
x 64 dots matrix
OLED (organic LED)
display ensures ease
of use wherever
recording, playback
or setup may be
taking place. A
high-resolution
24-bit / 96 kHz
recording option
means quality is
never an issue when
recording to the
supplied SD flash
card. Compatibility
with SDHC media
means cards up to 32
GB in size can be
used. In addition,
the new built in ‘SD
Card Check’ makes it
easy and convenient
to insert any SD
card and check
compatibility. High
capacity media
storage is matched
by five hours
recording time from
four AA Alkaline /
Ni-MH batteries.
Drag and drop file
transfer is
supported via the
USB port.
The
new ‘Retake’ feature
allows a simple
button press to take
you back though the
previously recorded
audio and create a
drop-in point to
overdub. This
enables easy
re-recording part
way through unwanted
takes ideal for
dictation and
electronic note
gathering
applications.
New
security features
have also been added
into the MKII with
Password Protection
and File encryption
ability that work
hand in hand to keep
recordings safe form
unauthorized access.
MP3 files can be
encrypted to .MPS
files and WAV files
encrypted to .WAS
files. Both MPS and
WAS files utilize a
4 digit password
protection feature
so that only those
with the 4 digit key
can open and play
the files either on
the player, or in
the new updated PMD
Marker Editor
software, included
in the box.
New
PMD Marker Editor:
Marantz Professional
has once again
bundled it’s Marker
Editor software free
in the box. PMD Mark
Editor allows the
marker points made
on the recorded .le
to be adjusted
post-recording, and
a new file created,
meaning basic
editing can be
carried out on any
handy PC or laptop,
and .les posted for
immediate
distribution - plus
the new 4 digit
password security
update.
