Marantz PMD-750 Digital Wireless

[David Peterson]

Never seen this product before, as it is a brand brand new product that isn't shipping yet. But as a Marantz it should be worth checking out.

Has a low low price of US$399

2.4 GHz Digital Transmitter (like RodeLink, no need to worry about what frequencies are legal)

All info on the top, which is nice. But perhaps my favorite feature: "Receiver Can Pair to Two Transmitters". Handy!

Annoyingly the input is a 4 pin XLR, which doesn't match up with any transmitters I own currently.

Unfortunately it is not shipping yet, and there are no reviews of it online, but it looks like a product to keep an eye on!

Marantz PMD-750 wireless just got a price drop down to $299:

As the receiver can be used with two transmitters, you could buy a second transmitter for a hundred and fifty and have a two channels of wireless for a very low cost.

I'd be curious to see a review on these.

Not sure how well all these new multi-transmitter units handle automatically mixing the inputs, but this is another set from a less know Chinese company that supports three transmitters and uses an allegedly less crowded but equally unregulated band: https://www.saramonicusa.com/produc...ty-lavalier-omnidirectional-microphone-system

Those transmitter packs look like they would be a pain to use with talent effectively.

Additionally Saramonic has had quality control issues for sure (mine easily broke! The UwMic9, their only semi worthwhile product at the moment)

Plus Saramonic had the royal big fvck up of blending both TXs into the one output from the RX with their earlier product, it seems like this one you linked it does the same again! Unforgivable.

If you own a RED then it makes no sense at all to me to be using Saramonic audio products on a shoot.

Unfortunately these Marantz are the same bulky size as the RodeLinks, but still....... at US$250 that is a screaming good deal
