PMD510 Independent Dual Well Cassette Deck

The Marantz Professional PMD510 is one of the
most comprehensive and flexible dual well cassette
decks specifically created for professional
applications. Each of the two wells is a completely
independent cassette deck (simultaneous playback
on well A while recording on well B or vice versa),
with their own distinct set of stereo inputs and
outputs, pitch control, stereo bargraph meters,
linear time counter, Dolby B/C selector, and large
transport buttons.

In addition to independent operation, the two wells
can work together to record from one input. An
extension remote port allows the connection of
several PMD510s for long term continuous
recording and playback. All autoreverse, well­switching, and cascade operations are optically
sensing for minimal audio loss in continuous record
and play modes.

The PMD510 also features a headphone output that
is switchable between well A, well-B, or both well
A+well B. The remote port is compatible with
Marantz (RC-5), AMX, and Crestron control
systems. The one-piece 3U rackmount chassis
provides extreme stability and a professional
appearance.

APPLICATIONS

Houses of Worship: Sound tracks can be played on

one well, mixed with live vocals and instruments, and
recorded on the other well. In addition, one well can
record an entire service while the other well records just
the sermon. Regardless of the situation, the PMD510
saves space and money by not having to buy two
separate cassette decks.

DJs: While one well is playing at a certain pitch the
other well can be heard through the headphone output
and be cued up at a different pitch and then mixed with
the first. This is possible because each well offers
separate pitch control, inputs and outputs, and transport
controls; and the headphone select allows monitoring of
either well or a combination of the signal coming out of
both wells.

Recording Studios and Mastering Facilities: The
professional appearance and sound quality enhance any
studio environment. The fact that the PMD510 is two
independent cassette decks in one 3U rackmount
chassis means that rack space is saved and
convenience is gained by having only one source for all
analog cassette recording needs.

Dance and Aerobics Studios: Each well has a
playback pitch/speed control to allow the music to be
slowed down or sped up. The linear time-based counter
on each well gives an accurate reading of the elapsed
time so that the workout times can be monitored.

Audio Logging: The cascading feature of the PMD510
allows it to work alone or be connected to multiple units
for continuous recording. After each well is finished
recording it triggers the next well, be it the next well in
that deck or the first well in another unit. All transfers
are optically sensing for minimal loss of audio.

Corporate Installations: The PMD510 is compatible
with Marantz (RC-5), AMX, and Crestron control
systems, to allow easy integration into almost any
system. It also allows two different sources to be
controlled independently so space is saved and greater
control is gained.
