Marantz PMD-740 Professional Four Track Cassette Tape Multitrack
Recorder with Six Channel Mixer in Excellent Working Condition. I've used
this machine in my studio and it is functioning 100% - recording and playback sounds
amazing! The tape transport and heads have been recently cleaned and demagnetized. Includes the original power supply and instruction manual.Details from Marantz:
The PMD740 combines a 6-channel mixer and a 4-track recorder in one logical, flexible, integrated package.
The mixer section provides a wide variety of inputs and outputs, including:
- 6 microphone/line inputs (4 of which offer a choice of XLR or 1/4" connections),
- 4 channel insert terminals,
- stereo line inputs,
- mono effects send and stereo return,
- 4 independent track outputs,
- cue out,
- sync in/out rerouting,
- and stereo master outputs.
The recorder section offers:
- A choice of normal speed (1 7/8 ips) or high speed (3 3/4 ips) recording, in addition to +/- 10% pitch control.
- The dbx noise reduction circuitry significantly improves the signal-to-noise ratio for clear, quiet recordings.
- The Dolby HX Pro headroom extension system increases the tape's dynamic range for hotter signals and more dynamic recordings.
- All 4 tracks can be recorded simultaneously.
- Furthermore,
the PMD740's quiet, microprocessor controlled transport provides a full
compliment of automated features, including Auto Punch In/Out, 2 memory
locations, 2 autolocate points, Auto Rewind, and Rehearse mode.
By
combining the excellent audio and feature set of the recorder section,
with the exceptional flexibility of the mixer section, you will be able
to create rather sophisticated productions. Track Bouncing (sometimes
called "Ping Pong Recording") can provide up to 10 recorded tracks
without bouncing any track more than once, and Virtual Tracking
(synchronizing the PMD740 with a MIDI sequencer) can provide any number
of additional tracks, limited only by your MIDI rig. With one effect
send and four channel inserts, the PMD740 can process up to 5
independent effects at any one time, creating rich sonic textures in
your music.
The overall design of the PMD740 was created with the
small to intermediate home and demo studio in mind. Every ergonomic
detail—from the spacing of controls, to the feel of the faders, to the
backlit VU meters, to the rear patch panel—was designed with you in
mind. Every performance detail—from the quiet, reliable transport, to
the exceptional audio quality, to the dbx noise reduction and Dolby HX
Pro headroom extension circuitry—was designed with your music in mind.
