Text Box: Key Features
Hard Drive Recording
Until now, field CD recording was a dicey proposition. Long silence between speakers? Long silence on your CD. And what if the event went long? You have the first 80 minutes, but the rest is lost, or divided among multiple discs. With the CDR420, the initial recording is made to the internal 20 GB hard drive. You can edit outsilences, put track numbers where you need them, even record long events in .MP3 format. When its done, burn your complete audio or .MP3 disc in minutes.
Extensive Audio Support
Balanced XLR Mic/Line inputs
Unbalanced Line Inputs (RCA)
SPDIF Digital I/O
Built-in Condenser Mic
+48v Phantom Power
CDsAudio or Data
The CDR420 has more CD-recording functionality than anything else out there. Once youre done recording and editing, you can burn your disc in standard Red-Book audio format, or as a CD-ROM data disc, with any combination of .WAV and .MP3 files.
Copying Capability
Because of the CDR420s unique combination of hard drive and CD recording, you can even make multiple copies of a CD in the field. Once audio is on the hard drive, burn to your hearts content. You can even make copies of audio or MP3/.WAV data.
Connectivity
 The USB 2.0 port is more than just a way to shuttle files back and forth to your PC. You can use disc maintenance utilities from Microsoft Windows XP to keep the CDR420s hard drive in optimum shape. Defragmenting and error checking ensures that your drive is fast and reliableeven with heavy use and extensive editing. You can even use a standard PS/2 keyboard to edit ID3 and other text informationas well as to control functions of the CDR420 itself! Last, but not least, the CDR420 is built with longevity in mind. You can upgrade the firmware as new versions become available through CDs or USB.
Audio CapabilityMarantz Style
And what would a Marantz Professional field recorder be without a host of professional audio features? Balanced XLR mic inputs with +48v phantom power allow you to use professional microphones. Ifyoure caught without mics, the CDR420 has one built in. A variety of filters and level control options condition your signal for the clearest audio possibleand if youre not much of a technician, turn on the ALC (Automatic Level Control), and the CDR420 will do it for you. Theres also analog line I/O, and SPDIF digital I/O, and USB 2.0, allowing you to connect the CDR420 to virtually anything in the world. An internal speaker and headphone jacks offer you multiple monitoring options, and the list goes on.
Outstanding in the Field
And just as youd expect, the CDR420 is rugged. Like all Marantz Professional field recorders, its designed for years of use in real-world field recording applications, and even offers a real-time clock so you can program the CDR420 to turn on, record, and then stopall unattended
