          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.
