Marantz CDR300 Portable CD/CDRW RecorderThe Marantz CDR300 is revolutionary for its portable design, built-in features, and performance. The CD300 is ideal for direct to CD-R/RW live recording applications. Simply place the unit on a tabletop and plug in quality microphones to the stereo XLR or 1/4" mic/line inputs with 48V phantom power. Or use its internal microphone. Record levels can be adjusted automatically or manually.
The CDR300 is a fully professional CD recorder that uses blank computer or music CD-R or CD-RW media. A speaker for playback is built-in. You can also record you own CDs from audio sources such as CDs, LPs, cassettes, or DAT. The CDR300 also features a built-in speaker, programmable mic/line EQ, high and band pass filters, a memory buffer that prevents beginnings of tracks from being cut off, and automatic sample rate conversion.
