Marantz PMD560 pro-installation solid-state digital recorder Eur 530 For the past few years Marantz Professional''s solid state recorders have been suppling the worlds of broadcasting, journalism, and portable recording. With no moving parts, solid state technology has made repair and maintenance practically a thing of the past. Now Marantz Professional brings the flexibility and reliability of this format to the installation market at an affordable price-with the PMD560. More and more, audio is being delivered online, through email, webcasts, and pod-casts. The equipment you install has to be capable of rendering your audio in the high-quality digital formats that end users want, need, and expect. The PMD560 is designed for this purpose. Mounting into an economical 1U rack space, the PMD560 records audio directly to an inexpensive Compact Flash card. It can easily be configured to record mono or stereo in two of the most common data formats, PCM (uncompressed) and .mp3. If you use more than one format, the PMD560 offers three programmable presets for your favourite setups : press one key and the PMD560 is configured to your specifications. RS-232 is provided for machine control and automation, while editing and playlist creation can be done directly from the front panel. Also included a USB connector on the front panel to facilitate transfer of sound files to your computer. The PMD560 is designed just for this purpose. Records to CompactFlash cards The PMD-560 can handle up to a 4GB CompactFlash card, providing over four hours of uncompressed stereo tracks. Up to 36-hour recording time With the PMD560 a single 1GB 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 quality of uncompressed audio, the PMD560 provides about one and-a-half hours of 16-bit linear PCM audio at 44.1kHz or 48kHz on the same 1GB card. Easy audio transfer to computer editors With the PMD560, you record in the format you need, and moving that recording to a computer is easy. In some cases, it's as simple as pulling the CF card from the PMD560 and plugging it into the card reader on your computer. Alternatively, you can use the USB port on the front panel to transfer audio files to a computer. It's already in your format of choice, so once it's in your computer, it's ready to post to the web, burn to a CD, or edit in your favorite editor. 99 virtual tracks for editing In addition, you can make your edits and playlists right on the PMD560. Marantz Professional's exclusive "Virtual Track" mode allows you to create up to 99 virtual tracks - internal playlists of audio segments. You simply tell the PMD560 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.
