Hi, My organization is considering making recordings of
conferences/lectures that we do and one our people attend (Our main
thing is disseminating information relating to aquaculture). I am
trying to get them into it but since they barely have a concept of it
they aren't willing to put much money into it yet.

The PMD 660 will work well, as I have tested that with the PMD 670 in
big lecture halls, both with an external condensor mic and the internal
one with good results.

Another option is an iPod from Apple with a Griffin iTalk adapter.
Cheaper, probably lower performance, smaller.
