For the past several years, Marantz Professional solid state recorders have been revolutionizing the worlds of broadcasting, journalism, and portable professional recording. With no moving parts, solid state technology has virtually made repair and maintenance a thing of the past.
Now, Marantz Professional brings the flexibility and reliability of this format to the installation market at an affordable price-with the PMD560.

More and more, audio is being delivered online, through email, webcasts, and pod-casts. Even CD recording-once the "hip new thing,"- has become the de facto standard. The equipment you install has to be capable of rendering your audio in the high-quality digital formats that end users want, need, and frankly expect.
