The Marantz PMD671 can record 24-bit, 96 kHz audio for the highest
sound quality available in the field or even in the studio. The ability
to read-after-write offers completely new levels of functionality never
before available in a field recorder. Even the mic preamps have been
dramatically improved. Then add programmable presets, and changing
formats on the fly is as easy as pressing a button. Serious
professionals need serious tools. If your application requires
uncompromising audio, unflinching reliability, and unprecedented
functionality, you owe it to yourself to take a very serious look at
the PMD671.
