Recorder:
Marantz PMD 620 "Oade Super Mod"
PMD620_group

The PMD 620 Super rebuilds the PMD 620 mic preamp with a very low noise, low distortion and high slew rate op amp that dramatically enhances detail and clarity while lowering noise and audible distortions. This upgrade also improves the line input circuit and increases the mic input gain by 6dB in order to record lower signal levels without using the ALC circuit. The built in mics and plug n power are removed to maximize microphone input quality, all other features remain intact. Super MOD parts are selected by ear to optimize low level detail.
