The most obvious thing to do when you've designed the PMD670 is to produce it in a non-portable version, and this is precisely what Marantz have done with the PMD570. In effect this is a pro-installation solid state recorder, and it's a boon for those of you who need a permanently fixed way of recording your meetings, conferences, church services, whatever you wish... in high quality digital format without the traditional shortcomings of tape and disk media to let you down.
