MARANTZPMD-680/PMD-690Portable PC Card RecordersRECORDERSCompact and portable, the PMD-680 (mono) and PMD-690(stereo) are next generation digital recorders that bridge the gapbetween real-time audio recording and computers — while keepingthe size and functionality of Marantz’s renowned portable cassetteand MiniDisc recorders. The PMD-680 or PMD-690 record highquality digital audio files to a CF (Compact Flash) compatible cardor IBM Microdrive, where they can be immediately transferred to acomputer for archiving, editing, or uploading to the Internet. Designedas a field acquisition tools, the PMD-680 and PMD-690 can record audioas compressed MP2 digital audio files stored as raw MP2 (.mp2) or the BroadcastWave standard (.bwf), as well as uncompressed using 16-bit/48kHz Pulse Code Modulation(PCM) saved in the true wave (.wav) file format.FEATURESPre-recording memory buffer records 2seconds of audio before the record button ispressed. This prevents missed or delayedstarts of a recording. A silent skip mode (1 to 5 seconds) can beactivated based on parameters set in themenu. Sound levels for silent skip can be setfrom -50 dB to -10 dB in 5 dB steps. Remote input for pausing and un-pausingduring recording or playback They can be powered three ways: via thesupplied AC adapter, rechargeable Ni-Cadbattery pack (optional) 8 AA batteries. l Inputs and outputs include XLR and1/4 mic inputs, RCA line output andcoaxial RCA digital output (S/PDIF). Theyalso feature a headphone output, built-inmicrophone and built-in speaker. Each recorder includes an AC adapter,battery holder, and carrying strap.Non-Destructive EDL System They use an on-the-fly system for markingtracks during recording. EDL marking andplayback allows either a custom playbacksequence to be programmed or the audiobetween two specific points in the card tobe repeatedly played back. During recording EDL marks are placed onthe card at the beginning of each newtrack; when REC/MARK button is pressed;or when the Auto Mark function is active.When Auto Mark is active, an EDL mark isplaced every time a recording is paused,manually or by the Silent Skip system. The maximum number of EDL marks percard is 255. EDL marks can be edited bychanging the mark types, erasing specificmarks, or erasing all the marks.
