FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MARANTZ PROFESSIONAL DISPLAYS PMD570 PRO-INSTALLATION
COMPACT FLASH MP3/WAV RECORDER WITH RS-232 CONTROL
NAB CONVENTION, LAS VEGAS, NV, April 18, 2005 — Marantz
Professional, a division of D&M Professional, exhibits the ideal
technology replacement for the traditional rackmount cassette recorder
— the PMD570 pro-installation solid-state recorder. The first
rack-mount recorder that can record an entire 8-hour day (or longer
depending on the selection of recording format, bit rate and media size)
without changing media, the PMD570 offers MP3, MP2, WAV and BWF format
compatibility. It records directly to affordable Compact Flash memory
cards, which can be removed for easy file transfer to a computer or
allow access to the files by utilizing the I/O port. Featuring variable
bit-rate recording with user-adjustable sampling rates from 16 kHz to
48 kHz, the PMD570 provides unprecedented flexibility. Integrators and
installers will appreciate the PMD570’s RS-232 control port both
for control and to set up, maintain, and replace all preset settings
via their PC. An advanced EDL marking system lets users mark and divide
files in many different ways, as well as create new files on the fly
during recording, providing easy file selection during playback. Marked
files are recognized by the optional PMDEdit software, also available
from Marantz Professional for easy file editing, management and archiving.
The Marantz Professional PMD570 is currently available
with a suggested retail price of $1,099.99.
