Sound Devices 664

Hit my email too! Looks very, very impressive.

anybody seen a price tag?

About the same as a maxed out Maxx.

[Wyatt Tuzo]

I don't understand why some people insist that SD "abandoned" the sound department, simply by broadening their market reach.

Anyway, looks like a $4k price tag with the CL-6 clocking in at $1,500.

Actually I dont get what you are talking about.

[larry long]

I wonder how you input the meta data.

Nice to see sd release sound recording specific new products. I would like to see the price point as well. The most obvious upgrade from nomad is visibility of the screen, f it s as advertised. I m still super happy with my nomad at the moment now and the zaxnet features are hard to beat. A new 302 with similar features would be something i would buy more than this one. Good job sd anyways. Love to see you guys stick around for us.

+1 on the "333"!

metadata entering could be problematic. I see no easy controls for it nor an usb port.

[Boomboom]

Can't see the price ( except for accessories)...

Price. 4000 dollars.

+1 (I chalk it up to the "knee-jerk reaction gallery.")

[Tyler Faison]

Honestly, I'm probably most excited to see the headphone jack on the left side of the unit.

[Armin Siegwarth]

so what is a maxed out Maxx and how much is it?

[Sean McCormick]

I wonder how you input the meta data.

Ditto track names.

[Cujo]

drooling a little....

[Eric Toline]

664 street price: $3995.

Interesting. There is no USB port either. There is a "COM" port on the bottom, and I don't know what that is for. The tracks in the demo pictures are not labelled, so who knows. To completely guess, either you don't (and that sets apart the 788T), or SD has something in the works.

At $4,000 this destroys the 744T. In terms of features, it shakes up the 788T that costs $2000-$2500 more. The 788T offers things that this doesn't (like a big internal drive), but this has to divert some buyers that would have gone for the 788T.

Work Clock I/O for real sync.

Where can I sign up? I don't want to have to wait too long to get this in my bag!

Looks like there is a USB port next to the media card slots while I'm watching the video.

I know what I want for Christmas now...

[noeld]

I'm sticking with the Nomad and zaxnet.

Pan knobs would be sweet.

[johnpaul215]

SD still calls it a mixer on their site, so some of the 700 series features probably won't be included.

"The 664 Field Production Mixer is the new flagship in Sound Devices' line of portable audio mixers."
