Marantz PMD661 Audio Input for Recording

Audio Input for Recording

The audio input for recording can be set from the “Input” menu. (☞P.43)

Set the “Rec Channel” menu to “stereo” to create a stereo (2-channel) sound file. Or set it to “D.Mono” to create a stereo sound file. The left channel input is recorded in both left and right channels. Or set it to “mono” to create a monaural (1-channel) sound file. The monaural file will be almost half the size of the stereo file.

Set the PHANTOM/MIC switch to “ON” to select the microphone level sensitivity with phantom power 48 volts. Or set it to “OFF” to select the microphone level sensitivity without phantom power. Or set it to “LINE” to select the line level sensitivity.
