D-phazz « manufacturing & made satisfactory sound »
Published on 10/26/13 at 04:44Firmware A2.03.
Regular use for making ambient sounds and radio interview.
(I frequently use the Nagras Ares and SD)
The sound reproduction is very correct, microphones preamps good.
integrated microphones troubleshoot for stereo miking relief live but war more ... quality electret microphone and them being uninteresting.
(For my part, I used a LEM DO 21B for ITW and audio-technica AT 8022 and 4025 BP for stereo rendering environments which is excellent).
Autonomy with battery "Sanyo Eneloop" 1900 maH used is comfortable, it helps to leave the field with confidence. (4-5H average)
The controls are nice, well-placed buttons, metal construction inspires confidence. (A protective cover but will be free screenings, scratches and dirt).
Apart from the stereo line inputs and 2 remote on 3.5mm mini jack, the connection is flawless.
The SPDIF input and audio output to CINCH gold are useful - Robust Canon microphone inputs provide phantom power 48V.
The comprehensive menu settings is clear, the more access "presets" is particularly useful and saves time during filming.
Ergonomics side a real delight to use rotary control adjusts the recording level (although preferable to increment keys) - the 6.35 jack and headset volume are available.
The headphones, however, can run out of power especially when you have to isolate sound in a noisy environment. (A closed high performance headphone is highly recommended.)
Visualization of recording LED bargraph levels - and or - OLED screen is bright in the dark but still desperately unreadable outdoors in the sun, it's a shame. (Long live the LCD Nagra Ares!)
Finally, I would do this choice probably for the purchase of a digital audio recorder in this price range.
In general the 661 PMD keeps its promises and makes many services.
Medium size, it fits easily into the tote, handling is easy.
For my part I 'appreciate this recorder to its versatility, robustness, reliable sound is made transparent.
Depending on the needs of the project, size of sound recordings provide a good range of options ranging from MP3 encoding 64kb / s linear 24-bit 96Khz.
As far as use walkman luxury, it is incomprehensible that some imported MP3 sounds are playable on the 661 PMD ...
It remains a great mystery to me while for once not very Marantz!
