Professional Portable Solid Recorder
PMD671
The PMD671 can record 24-bit, 96 kHz audio for
the highest sound quality available in the field or
even in the studio.
The ability to read-after-write offers completely
new levels of functionality never before available
in a field recorder.
Even the mic preamps have been dramati cally improved.
Then add programmable presets, and changing formats on the fly is as easy as pressing a button.
Serious professionals n eed serious tools.
・24-bit, 96 kHz PCM capable for unrivaled fidelity
・“Virtual Third Head” for confidence monitoring (Read After Write)
・Time-Shift Playback capability for random access playback while recording
・No moving parts- no maintenance
・Built-in USB 2.0 port for ultra-fast, easy file transfer to PC
・Records uncompressed 16 and 24 bit PCM .wav files at 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05,
24, 32, 44.1, 48, 82 or 96 kHz

・A 1 GB CF card can hold almost 30 minutes of uncompressed stereo
(24 bit, 96 kHz) PCM audio
・A 1 GB CF card can hold just over 90 minutes of uncompressed stereo
(16 bit, 44.1 kHz) PCM audio
・A 1 GB CF card can hold over 35 hours (stereo) or 70 hours (mono) .mp3 audio
・4 to 6 hour audio life with standard AA alkaline batteries

peak indicator
・Unparalleled 24/96 Audio
Recording PCM audio at 24-bit resolution and 96 kHz
sampling frequency is the absolute state of the art for
digital audio applications.
It offers 256 times the amplitude resolution, and more
than twice the frequency resolution of compact discs.
・RAW (VTH-Virtual Third Head)
Professional analog recorders had a dedicated
“third head” to monitor recorded signals after they
were printed to tape.
It was called, “confidence monitoring”, because it
allowed engineers to be 100% confident about what
they had recorded as it was happening.
The PMD671 is unique in offering the 21st century
version of this same functionality, by playing back the
recorded data simultaneously, rather than simply
monitoring the input source.
