The Marantz PMD560 is a rack mounted Compact Flash recorder designed for recording and gathering of audio for every application from Houses of Worship, to Corporate Boardrooms, to Municipalities to Courthouses, and beyond. Replacing the traditional cassette tape with readily available and affordable CF (compact flash) cards may be scary, but after all of the benefits of doing so have been realized, you'll know you made the correct choice.

By storing audio data on Compact Flash (CF) media cards, all of the mechanical hassles of tape recorders are gone forever- as are the costs of servicing and maintaining them. Not only that, but CF storage allows you to choose different recording formats and makes transferring audio files to computers a snap.

With the PMD560, you record in the format you need, and moving that recording to a computer is easy. In some cases, it's as simple as pulling the CF card from the PMD560 and plugging it into the card reader on your computer. Alternatively, you can use the USB port on the front panel to transfer audio files to a PC. It's already in your format of choice, so once it's in your computer, it's ready to post to the web, burn to a CD, or edit in your favorite editor.
