I'm selling this digital audio recorder for way less than I paid for it. I paid $550 for it and I'm selling it for only $350!! It's in perfect condition. I only used it a few times.
It's perfect for recording dialogue if you want to have your boom guy and sound separate from your camera. Makes life easy. Here's some more info:
The PMD660 represents the next generation of field recording. Professional field recording means more than just "battery-operated." It takes ruggedness, flexibility, specialized features, and the highest audio quality. It also takes experience to really understand what happens in the field, and to design the right tools for the job. Marantz Professional has that experience.
Marantz PMD660 at a Glance:
Pro recorder small enough to fit in your hand! Solid-state design with no moving parts Long record times on single CompactFlash card Professional XLR mic inputs Edit in the box! 99 virtual tracks Long battery life for reliable field performance Pro recorder small enough to fit in your hand! The new PMD660 recorder is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, but it has features that make more expensive, full-sized field recorders green with envy.
It can run for hours on just four AA batteries. It records on CompactFlash media cards which you can find in any discount store, and will store more than 36 hours of mono .mp3 files on a single card. If audio quality is your key requirement, you get over an hour of pristine, uncompressed, 16-bit WAV files on one card.
Editing on the PMD660 can be achieved right in the field using either of two editing modes, or you can use your favorite audio editing application by transferring files to your PC - the PMD660 even has its own USB port. XLR inputs, phantom power, built-in mics and more-it's all there in the PMD660.
One last thing. Because the PMD660 is a solid-state recorder, it has no moving parts to break or service. There - it just paid for itself. Solid-state design with no moving parts The PMD660 is the newest generation of "Flash Recorders." By storing audio data on Compact Flash (CF) media cards, all of the mechanical hassles of tape recorders are gone forever-as are the costs of servicing and maintaining them.
Solid State Technology makes the PMD660 less vulnerable to bumps, vibrations, and sonic deterioration over the long haul. Not only that, but CF storage allows you to choose from several recording formats, and makes transfer to computers a snap. Long record times on single CompactFlash card No more flipping tapes! With the PMD660 a single 1GB flash card can hold up to 36 hours of uninterrupted audio (monaural .mp3 at 64 kbps).
For music recording, the same size card can hold more than 17 hours high-quality compressed stereo (.mp3 at 128 kbps). If you need the unmatched quality of uncompressed audio, you can get about one-and-a-half CDs worth of 16-bit linear PCM audio at 44.1kHz or 48kHz on the same 1GB card. Professional XLR mic inputs Let's face it. Plugging professional-grade microphones into an 1/8" jack is asking for trouble.
The PMD660 offers two balanced XLR mic inputs with 48-volt phantom power. And just in case you don't have the time, space or budget to use external microphones, the PMD660 includes a stereo pair of condenser mics built right in.
