Marantz Professional PMD620
A true handheld, the PMD620 features an intuitive layout and tactile buttons for
easy one-hand operation, while a high-contrast organic LED (OLED) screen makes setup
a cinch under any lighting conditions. Just hit the Menu/Store button and the interface
quickly walks you through the choices to ensure optimal recording for your needs.
The PMD620 uses convenient SD/SDHC cards, the most stable and commonly available
type of flash media. Audio can be recorded either as uncompressed WAV files or any
of three quality levels of MP3, in mono or stereo. So whether it s capturing an
interview, a lengthy board meeting or a band s jam session, the PMD620 is always
ready for action.
The PMD620 shines in post-production as well. Journalists and podcasters will especially
appreciate its non-destructive on-board editing. Transcription is a breeze with its
Skip Back function, and file transfers to any computer are drag-and-drop simple with
the USB 2.0 connectivity. In short, the PMD620 combines ease of operation, professional
recording quality and insightful features in a compact, ergonomic design.
A True Handheld with Ergonomic Form Factor
At 2.5 by 4 inches by 1 inch and weighing under 6 ounces, the PMD620 slips easily
into a pocket and fits comfortably in the palm of the hand, with oversized, tactile
buttons that are laid out for intuitive, one-hand operation, from recording to playback.
The high contrast OLED screen provides at-a-glance status of all critical functions,
even offering a large font option. Integral high quality electret condenser microphones
pick up the action, while LED telltales track Peak and Level conditions.
Professional Digital Recording
The PMD620 can record uncompressed WAV files for high fidelity stereo music, or lower
resolution, mono MP3 files to maximize record time. For WAV files, choose from 16-
or 24-bit linear PCM recording at either 44.1 or 48 kHz sample rates. Podcasters
will appreciate having a total of six MP3 bit rates available, ranging from 192 kbps
stereo down to 32 kbps mono. And, the menu selectable Auto-Input feature detects
whether the line input or external mic input is being used, switching off the dual
integrated mics automatically.
Stability and Portability
The PMD620 is a true handheld, light in weight yet ruggedly constructed. The use
of SD cards as a recording medium provides the ultimate in space efficiency and stability,
with no practical limit on file size. Two AA batteries, either alkaline or NiMH rechargeables,
provide upward of five hours of operation.
On-board Editing and Playback Features
The PMD620 makes field production amazingly easy. Use the integrated speaker or mini-plug
headphones to monitor or transcribe. The Copy Segment function extracts a piece of
audio as a separate file while keeping the original intact, while the Skip Back feature
acts as a preset back up and replay function, programmable for audio jumps of
up to 59 seconds at the touch of a button.
Connectivity and Hardware
Despite its compact, slender profile, the PMD620 offers a full array of 1/8-inch
stereo connectivity, including both line and mic inputs, a Line Out for playback,
and a headphone jack for monitoring. A pair of convenient Up/Down buttons allows
adjustment of input sensitivity, while the USB 2.0 port makes file transfers to any
computer a breeze. Once connected, the PMD620 appears as a device on your PC desktop,
with all files contained in a master folder. Just drag and drop any or all of them
onto your desktop.
The PMD620 comes complete with SD card, audio and USB cables, AC adapter and more
everything needed to step into the world of high-resolution field recording.
