The PMD660 Handheld CompactFlash Recorder has features that make more expensive, full-sized field recorders look pale. It can run for hours on just 4 AA batteries. It records on inexpensive CompactFlash media cards and will store more than 36 hours of mono on a 1GB card. If audio quality is your key requirement, you get over an hour 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 via a USB port. XLR inputs, phantom power, built-in mics and more - it's all there in the PMD660. Comes with 64MB card.
