Marantz Reveals New Portable Recorder at Podcast Academy #6
Today at the Podcast Academy, Ontario Ca., Marantz Professional introduced the brand new PMD620 Solid State Portable Recorder. This is the newest edition to their acclaimed line of professional recording devices. The PMD 620 sports a pocket size form factor, easy to use menu interface buttons, internal mics, and a convenient built in speaker. It is designed to be used in many markets, including podcasting and broadcasting.
The top of the PMD620 houses a pair of high quality omnidirectional condenser mics for convenient recording. This device also provides an 1/8″ input for external plugin mono or stereo microphones, with +5v phantom power for electret condensers. The PMD620 can record 16 or 24bit resolution audio [mono or stereo] direct to SD flash memory in the WAV or MP3 file formats. The display screen uses state of the art OLED technology resulting in sharp, bright references with low power consumption.
The PMD620 uses 2 x AA Alkaline or NiMH batteries for up to 5 hours of operation.
Is there a price or retailer carrying this product yet? I could not find it listed anywhere.
Thanks
BTW: I am really excited about this recorder it looks like the first hand held that might have been made with Podcaster needs seriously considered. The H2 might have as well but this looks to be a nicer product. I just hope it is not priced too high.

Any mention if the batteries are internal or replaceable?
I’m using the M-Audio unit and the battery is 100% internal.

100% internal? As opposed to what, 90% internal!
