Digital Audio Recorders:


Marantz Digital Audio Recorder (DAR)    

 

This digital audio recorder (DAR) is ideal for lectures, interviews, and podcasts. In addition to its built-in microphone, it accepts XLR and 3.5 (headphone jack) microphone inputs; and, you can export your recordings into Garageband or Audacity via the USB output. This DAR works well with SM58's, PZM's or the Azden wireless microphones.  More information about the microphones we currently have available can be found in the microphones tab of this guide.

The library currently offers two models of Marantz DAR: The PMD661 MKII and the PMD661 MKIII.  The 661 MKII is an older model that comes with an 8GB SD card, and the 661 MKIII comes with a 16GB SD card.

Each Marantz bundle comes with a digital audio recorder, flash disk, power cord*, USB cable, and carrying case.  Additional microphones are available at the Library Service Desk. 

* The PMD 661 MKII model power cord has two separate pieces: power adapter and wall cable.
