Marantz Professional CDR 310

According to Marantz, the CDR310 offers convenient long-term recording in uncompressed and MP3 formats and includes optional battery operation for up to four hours.

We’re told that the CDR310 has built-in microphone preamps with XLR connectors and 48V phantom power for use with external condenser microphones, a built-in high-quality microphone for convenience and portability and the ability to record for hours and ultimately finalize the project to CD, all within one lightweight, battery operated compact unit. The burner can create both audio discs, for instant playback on any CD player, and data discs, for transfer to a computer or for archiving purposes. Apparently battery power capability — using AA batteries, or the optional RB1651 rechargeable battery — allows for up to four hours of remote operation without an external power supply, while support for both uncompressed audio and MP3 file formats provides flexibility and long record times.


The CDR310 incorporates several features not previously available. Background Record Mode enables recording to always be active, as an ongoing backup, even when the CDR310 is in Pause Mode. Recording can also be active in Pre-Record Mode for up to 10 seconds with the recorder stopped. One-Touch recording makes operation simple, even under challenging circumstances. Analog line-level inputs and outputs and S/PDIF-format digital inputs and outputs allow connection to a wide range of professional audio equipment.
