Product Description

The PMD-661 MKIII is a 2-channel handheld solid-state audio recorder that can seamlessly provide news journalists, court/municipal reporters, public safety personnel, investigators and researchers a with accurate, detailed in-field recordings. With the PMD661MKIII’s file-encryption function, it also offers the maximum security for sensitive information. This is ideal for situations where no-compromise audio data capture is required, but bulky equipment and separate microphones are not possible or appropriate.
The hardware feature set includes an integrated high-quality stereo condenser microphone array for ‘point and shoot’ operation, switchable balanced mic/XLR line inputs, as well as unbalanced line outputs on RCA connectors and a secondary unbalanced line input on 3.5 mm mini jack connector. For more recording options, the PM-D661 MKIII includes an external, omni-directional boundary microphone, perfect for meeting capture at a boardroom table. To keep the PMD661MKIII secure in your travels, it also includes a rugged and practical carrying case.
A high-resolution 96kHz / 24-bit recording option means high-quality audio captures are never an issue when recording to the supplied SD flash card. Compatibility with SDHC media means cards up to 32 GB in size?can be used, and with the new built in ‘SD Card Check,’ card compatibility will no longer be an issue or a concern. High capacity media?storage is matched by six hours of recording time from four AA Alkaline / Ni-MH?batteries.
Furthermore, the ‘Retake’ feature allows a simple button press to take you back though?the previously recorded audio and create a drop-in point to overdub.? This?enables easy re-recording part way through unwanted takes which is convenient for dictation and electronic note gathering applications. Once you have your desired audio take, keep it confidential with the PMD 661MKIII’s password protection and file encryption. MP3 files can be encrypted to .MPS? files and WAV files encrypted to .WAS files which both utilize a 4-digit password protection feature.
When your location recordings demand the use of a durable, secure, and portable recorder, the PMD-661 MKIII is the answer.
