FEATURES The Marantz Professional PMD510 is one of the most comprehensive and flexible dual well cassette

decks specifically created for professional  applications. Each of the two wells is a completely

independent cassette deck (simultaneous playback on well A while recording on well B or vice versa),

with their own distinct set of stereo inputs and outputs, pitch control, stereo bargraph meters, linear time counter, Dolby B/C

selector, and large transport buttons.  In addition to independent operation, the two wells  can work together to record from

one input. An extension remote port allows the connection of several PMD510s for long term continuous  recording and

playback. All autoreverse, well-switching,  and cascade operations are optically sensing for minimal audio loss in continuous

record and play modes.  The PMD510 also features a headphone output that is switchable between well A, well-B, or both

well A+well B. The remote port is compatible with  Marantz (RC-5), AMX, and Crestron control  systems. The one-piece 3U

rackmount chassis provides extreme stability and a professional appearance.

DJs: While one well is playing at a certain pitch the

other well can be heard through the headphone output

and be cued up at a different pitch and then mixed with

the first. This is possible because each well offers

separate pitch control, inputs and outputs, and transport

controls; and the headphone select allows monitoring of

either well or a combination of the signal coming out of

both wells.

APPLICATIONS

Houses of Worship: Sound tracks can be played on

one well, mixed with live vocals and instruments, and

recorded on the other well. In addition, one well can

record an entire service while the other well records just

the sermon. Regardless of the situation, the PMD510

saves space and money by not having to buy two

separate cassette decks.

Recording Studios and Mastering Facilities: The

professional appearance and sound quality enhance any

studio environment. The fact that the PMD510 is two

independent cassette decks in one 3U rackmount

chassis means that rack space is saved and

convenience is gained by having only one source for all

analog cassette recording needs.

Dance and Aerobics Studios: Each well has a

playback pitch/speed control to allow the music to be

slowed down or sped up. The linear time-based counter

on each well gives an accurate reading of the elapsed

time so that the workout times can be monitored.

Audio Logging: The cascading feature of the PMD510

allows it to work alone or be connected to multiple units

for continuous recording. After each well is finished

recording it triggers the next well, be it the next well in

that deck or the first well in another unit. All transfers

are optically sensing for minimal loss of audio.

Corporate Installations: The PMD510 is compatible

with Marantz (RC-5), AMX, and Crestron control

systems, to allow easy integration into almost any

system. It also allows two different sources to be

controlled independently so space is saved and greater

control is gained.
