Marantz Professional PMD660

A PMD recorder that's small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, but 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 Compact Flash media cards which you can find in any discount store, and will store more than 36 hours of pristine, uncompressed, 16-bit .wav files. Editing can be achieved right there in the field using either of two editing modes, or you can use your favorite audio editing application by transferring files to your PC - PMD660 even has its own USB port. XLR inputs, phantom power, built-in mics and more - it's all there in the PMD660.
