Rocker's revenge (MX Aug 94)

muzines.co.uk

The Marantz PMD720 offers a solid entry into the multitracker market with its retro aesthetics and practical eight-channel mixer. However, its two-band EQ and mechanical tape counter are disappointing for a machine over £500, lacking features like a digital counter with autolocate facilities. While it can record on all four tracks simultaneously, the sound quality is decent, especially with the dbx noise reduction, which feels more obligatory than optional. The PMD720 is a capable, user-friendly unit that might appeal to those valuing simultaneous four-track recording over more sophisticated EQ options.
