DM246 Courtroom Recorder System for Courts
DM246 4-Channel Courtroom Recorder — Standalone, No-Computer Court Recording System for Legal Proceedings
The Martel DM246 is a professional-grade, standalone 4-channel courtroom recorder designed specifically for modern courtrooms, hearing rooms, and legal proceedings. Unlike software-based systems that depend on computers, drivers, and continuous maintenance, the DM246 provides true hardware recording reliability with no computer required. It captures four isolated audio channels directly onto an SD memory card, offering courts a stable, secure, and easy-to-manage audio archive.
As one of the last remaining dedicated multi-channel courtroom recorders on the market, the DM246 is the preferred choice for judges, clerks, court administrators, court reporters, and voice writers who require dependable, long-term recording hardware.
