Not sure what may be in store for Marantz and the PMD pro series recorders, as they have been sold to inMusic along with the Denon Pro and Boston-Acoustics Division.
D & M had been quoted that the new business strategy will be "to focus on the consumer".
My PMD661 has been a workhorse for years, even if it's now more or less just a bit bucket. Curious to see if the market changes for these PMD recorders?
