Mobile audio recording with instant distribution!
From the early days of analog micro-cassettes, mobile audio recorders have evolved into highly sophisticated digital devices. Today's recorders offer unprecedented sound quality and storage capacity, but quick and easy distribution of recorded material remains a challenge. New technology from Marantz is set to change that. With an onboard CD burner for on-site duplication, the CDR310 has the distribution solution.
No editing necessary
In the past, digital recording devices would offload their content onto a computer for editing and distribution. This tedious and often frustrating process adds significantly to the turnaround time, especially for non-technical users. Journalists, lawyers, public officials, and business people can all push the "record" button, but chopping out dead spots, tightening-up sound bites, and finalizing CD's are probably not a part of their daily routine. The CDR310 simplifies all these tasks for the speediest delivery of your audio content.
Multiple record modes tighten up audio clips
Podcasts, speeches, and round-table discussions are sometimes conducted in a controlled environment, but there can often be unexpected circumstances. If a scheduled break ends early, for example, you may lose important details while your recorder is paused. CDR310 recorders offer two different modes to make sure you don't miss a thing. Pre-record mode automatically gives you a rolling 10-second buffer when you turn the device on. If the meeting starts abruptly or you're a little slow to the un-pause button, your information is still preserved. Background mode continues to record, even after you hit pause. You then have the option of deleting the background audio, or saving it if something important happened during the break. With either mode, you tighten up your audio clips. No missed content and no wasted space.
Eliminates gaps
To prevent dead spots in your recordings, use the silent-skip function. Voice-activated technology automatically pauses recording during quiet moments. For example, a two-hour deposition may contain thirty minutes of "dead air" while papers are shuffled and thoughts are gathered before answers are given. Normally, you would have to suffer through the silence during playback. Silent-skip cuts out the dead spots, resulting in a tight, quick-moving, ninety-minute recording. You get right to the content without any pauses. No cutting, no cropping, no editing at all; the CDR310 handles it for you.
One-touch duplication
The onboard CD burner offers instant, one-touch archiving of your recording project. As the city council meeting adjourns, just press the Make CD button while refreshments are served. Each member of the board will have a word-for-word copy of the proceedings when they are ready to leave. If meetings last longer than the 80-minute CD limit, the CDR310 automatically spans multiple discs with no more effort on your part than inserting the next CD in the slot. This immediate turnaround time will increase productivity. When everyone is on the same page, action can be taken immediately, with instant reference to the content when clarification is needed.
Storage space and power options
Recording sessions can stretch on as long as you need with the internal 4GB hard drive. It will store up to five hours of uncompressed, 16-bit/44.1kHz stereo PCM audio, or a whopping 110 hours of 64kbps mono MP3 audio. Even the longest-winded politician will run out of steam long before the CDR310. Custom tailor your project for hard drive space or audio quality by selecting stereo or mono CD-DA, AIFF, WAV, or MP3 formats. It's all flawlessly burned to CD with the touch of a button. You get up to four hours of power from eight AA batteries, or you can use the included AC adapter when a power outlet is available.
I/O options
You can't get a quality recording with a sup-par microphone. Fortunately, Marantz's integrated condenser mic picks up any desired sound with pristine accuracy. In situations where it isn't practical to position the CRD310 close to the audio source, two phantom-powered XLR connections let you use your favorite dynamic or condenser mics for mono or stereo recording, anywhere in the room. The CRD310's onboard speaker is perfect for monitoring your recordings to ensure you captured what you needed. You'll never have to guess at the playback quality; you'll know if you have what you need, right there and then.
