ION TAPE2PC CASSETTE DIGITISER
The Tape2PC sends out a digital stream of the cassette material by USB into your PC or Mac and you only need an audio editing/recording program to capture and save it. (Try Audacity or Acoustica on your Windows PC, or Amadeus on your Mac).
You need to set the recording software and the output level from the unit to the right level for the tape you’re digitising, and to turn over the tape at the end of the side, but apart from that you can sit back and quietly monitor what’s going on.
- Quickly transfer your tapes to WAV format on your computer
- Dual dubbing cassette deck
- Plug & Play USB audio interface no drivers needed!
- Metal and CrO2 tape selector
- Audacity software (Mac and PC) included for recording and cleaning up recordings

MARANTZ RB1100 RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
This
NiCd rechargeable battery will fit the PMD670, 671 and CDR310,
recharging whenever the recorder is plugged in. It should give 4-5 hours
recording time, depending on exact charge condition and ambient
conditions. Being NiCd the battery only charges fully when completely
discharged before charging.
£70
MARANTZ RB1651 RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
This
NiMH rechargeable battery does not suffer from the same memory effect
as the RB1100 NiCd battery, and can be recharged from any charge
condition. Only the PMD671 and CDR310 can recharge it in situ when
plugged in; other recorders will need a separate desktop charger which
is rather expensive (£160!)
£85
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES AND CHARGER
This charger and batteries will give you as much power as we can find for your location recording, especially with the PMD660.
The kit includes 4 x AA NiMH batteries each with 2700mAh capacity. The mAh (milliamp hours) figure shows how much power the batteries can hold, so if your device is using 1 amp (1000 milliamps) the batteries could power it for 2700 divided by 1000 = 2.7 hours. So as well as showing how long a particular device can be powered, the number is an absolute measure of their capacity. Some batteries on general sale are only 900 mAh, so these ones have 3x their capacity. Even if you don’t buy them from us, make sure you get at least 2500mAh batteries!
Added to this, the supplied mains charger can recharge in 90 minutes.
If you are ordering a PMD661, H4n or other small recorder - or already have one - this is the ideal rechargeable companion.

If you already have a charger get 4 x AA NiMH 2500mAh batteries for just £8
CARD READER
Card
readers allow you to upload files to a PC/Mac without using the USB
interface built into your recording device. They aren’t essential but
can be useful if your recorder has only a USB1 interface which is slower
than USB2 introduced some years ago; this mostly applies to the Marantz
PMD660 and PMD670 which still have USB1 only.

£17
LRX-35
Telephone
handset recording coupler, hard-wired 3m (approx.) output lead with

£22

UK legislation on recording phone calls is unclear; you should tell the other party that calls are being recorded and how the recordings will be used. For non-UK territories, and If in any doubt, consult your legal adviser.
FOOT PEDALS FOR TRANSCRIPTION
Transcribe
your recordings on a PC using a foot pedal to control play, rewind and
fast forward - just as you used to with cassettes!
It goes like this - install and fire up the software (free download required) and open your recording file; control the playback of the file on your PC with the foot pedal, play and stop, rewind and fast forward; type your transcript. It’s that easy.
The foot pedal plugs into a USB port on the PC; most flavours of Windows are supported, and there’s a Mac version too.
