Sound Devices 664 Mixer

664 Portable Production Mixer

• 16-track mixer/recorder

• Six high-bandwidth, low noise microphone preamplifiers with phantom, limiters, high-pass filters,

pan, and direct outputs per channel; direct outputs can be switched to operate as additional line

inputs 7-12.

• Expandable with optional CL-12 linear fader controller, which adds 12 smooth-gliding linear fader

controls, sunlight-viewable LED metering, back-lit Record / Stop transport controls, and many

other illuminated quick-access buttons for key functionality

• Expandable with optional CL-6 input controller, which adds six dedicated, full-sized, rotary fader

controls for channels 7-12, sunlight-viewable LED metering, and back-lit Record / Stop transport

controls

• High-precision Ambient™ timecode generator and reader supporting all common rates and

modes, with auto-recharging of internal TC battery

• Expanded return monitoring capabilities, with three camera returns, plus built-in slate microphone and external slate microphone input connector
