I have used the 3032 with a stock PMD660 (rather early in the 660
production run). This mic clips the preamp very easily - at least on
my unit. It's better with the -20dB. I also have an Oade advanced mod
660 (not the concert mod), and the 3032 works very well with that.
In a studio/interview situation, you might be happier with the more
directional 3031.
In general, I was rather disappointed with the stock 660, but the Oade
mod version has been great.
