No problem, as this Marantz recorder allows you to protect both the device itself and your files with a password.
PMD661MK2: a sizeable memory
The Marantz PMD661MK2 recorder boasts an impressive, practical memory, as it supports SD(HC) cards of up to 32 gigabytes. If you're wondering whether the recorder will support a specific type of card, a useful SD Card Check feature allows you to check for card compatibility. A sizeable OLED display keeps you informed of your settings, while a balanced XLR microphone input, an XLR line input and a digital S/PDIF input allow for various connections.
Retake function for quick second chances
Journalists and other professionals who have to deal with strict deadlines will save themselves a lot of time using the PMD661MK2's Retake function. With a simple push of a button, it takes you back through your previously recorded audio, and creates a drop-in point to overdub, so you can easily re-record unsuccessful passages without the intervention of a computer. If you do have time to spend editing, however, you can use the included PMD Marker Editor software.
