Under the cooperative scheme, Kingston Technology's R&D department has rigourously tested its range of CF cards with all Marantz Professional's PMD products, and has provided a list of all compatible memory cards on its website (www.kingston.com/ukroot).
Mark Perrins, general manager, DMi D&M Installation, commented, "The volume and varying quality of CF cards in today's market can be at the least confusing for the customer, and at worst incompatible with the recorder. This agreement between Marantz Professional and Kingston gives peace of mind to existing and future users of Marantz Professional products. In our aim to provide benchmark customer support, this will prove a hugely useful tool, reducing the time and cost incurred, both by our customers and by us, in ensuring complete compatibility between product and media."
Commenting for Kingston Technology, Ann Keefe, UK sales director stated, "When D&M Installation needed a digital memory partner that would provide their customers the same high quality in their digital memory as they do in their recording equipment, they naturally approached Kingston Technology. We have a very strong reputation in the digital market, we were able to show that the quality of our products and flexibility of our service would meet and exceed the level of expectation D&M customers experience and expect."
