It has both Index Mark Function and New Track on the fly functionality.
Yes, but what do you HEAR?

Has anyone laid eyes on the PRC660 Case?





It looks like something worth while but I want to see the front of the thing.  How easy is it to adjust the levels with the thing on?

Better than the pouch on my hoody. I carry it sideways, therefore I have to tilt my head and turn the recorder when I'm adjusting the levels.

Is there a link to buy one. I will search as well. +t

i think dan (spyder9) owns one.  toss a pm his way.

Actually Timbo, I don't have a PRC660 case.  I keep my 660 in a Eddie Bauer waste bag, cause that's where I run it from.

See I don't run from a bag which is why I'm thinking about it just for dust/dirt purposes.  I now put a towel or t-Shirt over the gear once it's going with the front tucked under the lid of my Pelican just so I can see that it's still going... this just seems like a more form fitting/slick option.

I tried a little test last night while I was taping blueground undergrass. I taped the first set with the -20 db pad running on the PMD 660 and for the second set I ran the -10 db pad on my C4 mics (turned off the -20db). Mainly I just wanted to see if there is any difference between running the -10 and -20 db pads. The first set my record level was maxed out and my signal would peak at -12 db and ran a lot of the time at -20db. That was part of the reason I decided to change the pad. The second set with the -10db pad my record level was around 1 o clock and my levels ran at -6 db with occasion peaks hitting 0 db and hit the red a few times. I only got to listen to the recording briefly but I will post my findings and maybe make it available if others would like to hear the original.

hey folks,

im going to check out a show tonight and was thinking id try out my new 660, instead of using the jb3, with my sp-cmc-8 mic's. i had a few things i was thinking about and wanted to make sure before i try it.

1a) should i run spcmc8 > pmd660 (line-in)  or b) spcmc8 > spsb8 > pmd660 (line-in)
if i go with 'a', would i then use the +48v for the mics?

thanks
