Setting File Type and Media Track Assignment

The 664 supports simultaneous recording to CF and SD media. By default, all
armed tracks are recorded to both cards as a polyphonic WAV file. It is possible
to record only the armed ISO tracks, only the armed L and R tracks, or only the
armed X1 and X2 tracks to either media.
To set file type and track routing:
1. Press the MENU button.
2. Turn and press the Headphone encoder to select either of the following:
◦ RECORDER > Record to CF
◦ RECORDER > Record to SD
3. Turn and press the Headphone encoder to choose a file type and track
assignment for the chosen media. For more information, see

WAV (Broadcast WAV)

The 664 writes AES-31 broadcast WAV formatted files. The audio files created

tension (BEXT) and iXML data chunks. Software that does not recognize these
additional broadcast WAV data chunks will ignore them. For more information,
see Metadata

transcription recording purposes. The 664 records two-channel MP3 audio files
with data rates of 128, 192, and 320 kbs. For more information, see
