PMD-706 Modifications

Performance Enhancements Available :

The PMD-706 Concert MOD rebuilds the XLR inputs using high speed, low noise and very low distortion op amps that dramatically improve fine detail and clarity. The result is a very detailed, open 3D soundstage. Components are selected by ear to optimize detail and imaging for recording all types of music where transparency is needed.
The TRS inputs are upgraded with a very fast chip that is optimized for line level signals and increases dynamic range by 18dB. We're proud to announce an update to the 706 Concert MOD ! New technology allows us to offer the same great Concert MOD sound in the 706. All 6 channels now feature this new Op-Amp technology.

The PMD-706 Concert + Warm MOD rebuilds channels 1 & 2 XLR inputs using high speed, low noise and very low distortion op amps that dramatically improve fine detail and clarity. The result is a very detailed, open 3D soundstage. Components are selected by ear to optimize detail and imaging for recording all types of music where transparency is needed.
XLR inputs 3 & 4 are upgraded using high speed, low noise and very low distortion FET op amps that dramatically improve fine detail and clarity. the Warm MODs preamp chips use FETs so they sound very much like a tube preamp with the warm sound that offers a fat rounded bass tone, a sweet silky high end and the expansive soundstage found in high end tube circuits. Components are selected by ear to optimize detail and imaging for recording all types of music when a warm tone is needed.
The TRS inputs are upgraded with a very fast chip that is optimized for line level signals and increases dynamic range by 18dB.

The Marantz PMD-706 Super Mod rebuilds the XLR inputs with high speed, low noise and ultralow distortion chips that dramatically improve low level detail and clarity. Super low THD+N op amps allow for a very wide SFDR even with signal levels down 50dB. This preserves the signal quality of the highest grade microphones when recording soft signals, like voice, un amplified music, nature sounds and FX. The Super MOD is the 706 upgrade of choice for filmmakers as it's audio qualities allow for more post production while maintaining the clarity and detail needed for optimal playback on typical audio systems used for video.

The PMD-706 Super + FET MOD rebuilds channels 1 & 2 XLR inputs using high speed, low noise and very low distortion op amps that dramatically improve fine detail and clarity. The result is a very detailed, open 3D soundstage. Components are selected by ear to optimize detail and imaging for recording where transparency is needed.
XLR inputs 3 & 4 are upgraded using high speed, low noise and very low distortion FET op amps that dramatically improve fine detail and clarity. The warmth of the FET microphone preamp allows for a more natural vocal tone when using highly directional mics, like a shotgun mic. The very low noise is perfect when recording soft signals, like voice, un amplified music, nature sounds and FX. Our first choice for use with dynamic interview microphones. The FET upgrade has an impressive 3D stereo image, ideal for stereo nature recording !
The TRS inputs are upgraded with a very fast chip that is optimized for line level signals and increases dynamic range by 18dB.

Warranty Info :
Our upgrades void the factory warranty but we offer a 1 year parts and labor limited warranty on the PMD-706s we sell modified. Please note, we reserve the right to refuse to service any machine that has had our warranty seal removed or tampered with.
