The
Updated "Recording Brick" with Secure Audiofile Recording, Enhanced
Internal Microphones and an External Boundary Mic
Since the original PMD661 came out several years
ago, Marantz have
consistently led the way in providing the best portable 2-track
solid state recorder for the broadcast professional. And now here's
the very latest updated PMD-661MK3. The new Industry Standard. With its
uncompromisingly high performance and rugged 'workhorse' build quality, the
PMD-661MK3 gives news & features journalists, court/municipal
reporters, public safety personnel, investigators and researchers a
truly professional device that produces accurate, detailed in-field
recordings. Robustly and reliably. Plus, its file-encryption function offers the maximum
security for sensitive information. Its ideal for situations where
no-compromise audio data capture is required, but bulky equipment is
not appropriate.
The hardware feature set includes an updated 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. In addition, the PMD661MK3 is the first
PMD661 to include an
external, omni-directional boundary microphone, perfect for meeting
capture at a boardroom table. And the PMD661MK3 also now includes a rugged
and practical carrying case to protect the recorder. At no extra
cost.
Measuring just 165 x 93 x 36 mm (6.5 x 3.7 x 1.4) with a highly
visible 128 x 64 dot matrix OLED (organic LED) display ensures ease
of use wherever recording, playback or setup may be taking place. A
high-resolution 96kHz / 24-bit 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 six hours of recording time
from four AA Alkaline / Ni-MH batteries. Drag and drop file transfer
is supported via the USB port.
Furthermore, the 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 narration, dictation and electronic note
gathering applications.
The PMD661MK3 comes as standard 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.
Applications include (but are not limited to) broadcast, electronic
news gathering, journalism, DSLR video, sound effects capture, law
enforcement*, municipal and court recording*, government and
surveillance*, musicians, dictation for law*, medical, education, and
meeting recording.
*Please note that these kinds of application often
require recorded audio to be encrypted for security purposes. The
PMD661MK3 is highly suitable for these purposes because it provides password protected audio encryption
for your audio files
as well as
passcode protection for the device itself. If you do not require
such
features you may wish to consider our similar Marantz PMD561 recorder
