USB connection. Hard Disk Recording. MP3 and WAV Encoding.
Overview
Marantz is no stranger to innovation. For decades, we've written and rewritten the book on professional field recording and we are doing it again with the new CDR420. Never before has a CD recorder been so flexible or so powerful. Record to hard disc as .WAV or .MP3. Perform cut-and-paste editing in the field. Upload to a PC through USB 2.0, or burn CDs right there in the field. Edit ID3 information and rip MP3 discs. Copy redbook or MP3/.WAV data discs. Error check and defrag the hard drive using USB and standard Windows XP disc utilities. You can even name files and access commands with a standard PS/2 keyboard.
The CDR420 is the right recorder to capture and record almost any application. Recording a court proceeding? All parties walk away with a standard, non-erasable audio CD. Recording a concert? Sell CDs minutes after it ends. Need more than 80 minutes on a CD Record and burn in MP3 mode. Need to use good mics? The CDR420 has dual XLRs with +48v phantom power. Don't have any mics? The CDR420 has one built-in. There's more, but sit back. The list is long.
Highlights:
Record to the 20GB hard disc in 44.1kHz mono or stereo as .WAV or .MP3
On-board editing
CDs can be burned in standard audio format, or as a data CD
Multiple MP3 bitrates
WAV files can be converted to MP3
Read, display, and edit ID3 tag information from MP3 files
Features:
Hard Drive Recording
Until now, field CD recording was a dicey proposition. Long silence between speakers? Long silence on your… read more CD. And what if the event went long? You have the first 80 minutes, but the rest is lost, or divided among multiple discs. With the CDR420, the initial recording is made to the internal 20 GB hard drive. You can edit outsilences, put track numbers where you need them, even record long events in .MP3 format. When it's done, burn your complete audio or .MP3 disc in minutes.
Extensive Audio Support
Balanced XLR Mic/Line inputs
Unbalanced Line Inputs (RCA)
SPDIF Digital I/O
Built-in Condenser Mic
+48v Phantom Power
Audio CD'sor Data
The CDR420 has more CD-recording functionality than anything else out there. Once you're done recording and editing, you can burn your disc in standard Red-Book audio format, or as a CD-ROM data disc, with any combination of .WAV and .MP3 files.
Copying Capability
Because of the CDR420s unique combination of hard drive and CD recording, you can even make multiple copies of a CD in the field. Once audio is on the hard drive, burn to your hearts content. You can even make copies of audio or MP3/.WAV data.
Connectivity
The USB 2.0 port is more than just a way to shuttle files back and forth to your PC. You can use disc maintenance utilities from Microsoft Windows XP to keep the CDR420s hard drive in optimum shape. Defragmenting and error checking ensures that your drive is fast and reliable even with heavy use and extensive editing. You can even use a standard PS/2 keyboard to edit ID3 and other text information as well as to control functions of the CDR420 itself! Last, but not least, the CDR420 is built with longevity in mind. You can upgrade the firmware as new versions become available through CDs or USB.
Audio Capability Marantz Style
And what would a Marantz Professional field recorder be without a host of professional audio features? Balanced XLR mic inputs with +48v phantom power allow you to use professional microphones. If you're caught without mics, the CDR420 has one built in. A variety of filters and level control options condition your signal for the clearest audio possible and if you're not much of a technician, turn on the ALC (Automatic Level Control), and the CDR420 will do it for you. Theres also analog line I/O, and SPDIF digital I/O, and USB 2.0, allowing you to connect the CDR420 to virtually anything in the world. An internal speaker and headphone jacks offer you multiple monitoring options, and the list goes on.
Outstanding in the Field
And just as you'd expect, the CDR420 is rugged. Like all Marantz Professional field recorders, its designed for years of use in real-world field recording applications, and even offers a real-time clock so you can program the CDR420 to turn on, record, and then stop all unattended. read less
