Frequently Asked Questions - DR2100 MARANTZ
What recording formats does the DR2100 support?
The DR2100 supports MP3 (128-320 kbps) and WAV (16-bit or 24-bit, 44.1 or 48 kHz) recording formats.
Can I use external microphones with the DR2100?
Yes, the DR2100 has two combo XLR/TRS inputs that accept both dynamic and condenser microphones. Phantom power (+48V) is available for each channel.
How do I transfer recordings to a computer?
Connect the DR2100 to your computer via USB. It will appear as a removable drive. You can then copy the audio files from the SD card.
What type of batteries does the DR2100 use and how long do they last?
The DR2100 uses 4 AA batteries. With alkaline batteries, you can expect about 5 hours of recording time (MP3, phantom power off). Using NiMH rechargeables may yield similar or slightly less runtime.
Does the DR2100 have a built-in speaker?
Yes, it has a small built-in monaural speaker for quick playback, but it is not designed for high-quality monitoring. Use headphones or external speakers for critical listening.
Can I record directly to a computer via USB?
No, the USB port is for file transfer only. The DR2100 records directly to its SD card and cannot act as a USB audio interface.
How do I update the firmware on the DR2100?
Firmware updates are rare. Check the Marantz website for any updates. To install, copy the firmware file to the root of an SD card, insert it, and power on while holding the appropriate buttons (refer to the manual).
What is the maximum SD card capacity supported?
The DR2100 supports SD and SDHC cards up to 32 GB. Using cards larger than 32 GB or SDXC cards may cause issues.
Why is there no sound in my headphones?
Check that the headphone volume is turned up (use the volume wheel). Ensure the headphone jack is fully inserted and that the unit is playing or recording audio. Also check the headphone output settings in the menu.
Is the DR2100 compatible with line-level sources?
Yes, the combo inputs accept line-level signals. Use the 'Line' input setting for instruments or other line-level devices. The 3.5mm stereo line input can also be used for consumer audio sources.
