. Description The PMD-661 MKIII is a 2-channel handheld solid-state audio
recorder. With its uncompromisingly high performance and rugged
build quality, the PMD-661 MKIII gives news journalists,
court/municipal reporters, public safety personnel, investigators
and researchers a professional device that produces accurate,
detailed in-field recordings. Plus, its file-encryption function
offers the maximum security for sensitive information. It’s ideal
for situations where no-compromise audio data capture is required,
but bulky equipment and separate microphones are not possible or
appropriate. The hardware feature set includes an integrated high-quality stereo
condenser microphone array for ‘point and shoot’ operation,
switchable balanced mic/XLR line inputs, as well as unbalanced line
outputs on RCA connectors and a secondary unbalanced line input on
3.5 mm mini jack connector. In addition, the PMD661MKIII includes an
external, omni-directional boundary microphone, perfect for meeting
capture at a boardroom table. The PMD661MKIII also includes a rugged
and practical carrying case to protect the recorder. Measuring just 165 x 93 x 36 mm (6.5” x 3.7” x 1.4”) with a highly
visible 128 x 64 dot matrix OLED (organic LED) display ensures ease
of use wherever recording, playback or setup may be taking
place. A high-resolution 96kHz / 24-bit recording option means
quality is never an issue when recording to the supplied SD flash
card. Compatibility with SDHC media means cards up to 32 GB in
size can be used. In addition, the new built in ‘SD Card Check’
makes it easy and convenient to insert any SD card and check
compatibility. High capacity media storage is matched by six hours
of recording time from four AA Alkaline / Ni-MH batteries. Drag and
drop file transfer is supported via the USB port. Furthermore, the ‘Retake’ feature allows a simple button press to
take you back though the previously recorded audio and create a
drop-in point to overdub. This enables easy re-recording part
way through unwanted takes ideal for dictation and electronic note
gathering applications. The PMD661 MKIII comes standard with password protection and file
encryption ability that work hand in hand to keep recordings safe
form unauthorized access. MP3 files can be encrypted to .MPS files
and WAV files encrypted to .WAS files. Both MPS and WAS files
utilize a 4-digit password protection feature so that only those
with the 4-digit key can open and play the files. Applications include (but are not limited to) broadcast, electronic
news gathering/journalism, DSLR video, sound effects capture, law
enforcement, municipal and court recording, government and
surveillance, musicians, dictation for law, medical, education, and
meeting recording. Features Built-in studio-grade stereo condenser microphone array Password-protected file encryption WAV recording at 44.1/48/96kHz, 16/24-bit MP3 recording at six selectable recording bit rates from 32 to
