Aloha, just bought one, hope it works in the tightest recording areas. Here is wishing everybody the greatest Merry Xmas and a very rewarding New Year. Hope 2024 . is the best year ever for all. Cheers

Aloha, why not send this Nagra to Nagra in Switzerland. I bet they would fix for you.

Aloha, for your information an original Nagra 111 from 1958 sits in Location Sound in North Hollywood. What a fantastic recorder. I have recorded on various Nagras well over hundreds of tapes from mono to stereo , you can still record acceptable sounds on early Nagra recorders. Thanks

Aloha, Ebay domestic currently has listings for such. The reel nuts are listed at $3.99 the pair US. Good luck

Aloha, more Nagra info. Contact Trew Audio in Nashville, TNN. ( Jake Garrett ) Nagra had a full time operation in Nashville and there was a person with Nagra that went out on his own servicing Nagras when Nagra shut done the USA operation. Maybe Trew will remember who to contact. Cheers

Aloha, thanks for your reply. Contact TREW audio in LA. They have many years experience with Nagras. Some time ago an employee broke away from Trew and specializes in Nagra repairs, his name I recall was Forester. They could direct you to him. Since he works on Nagras he would probably have the info you need. Happy Thanksgiving and happy searching. Aloha, more Nagra info. Contact Trew audio in Nashville, TNN. ( Jake Garrett ) There was a full time Nagra employee when Nagra had an operation in Nashvville. This person may have all the data you are looking for. Cheers

Aloha, there are possible lists available, hopefully thru LSC in North Hollywood and Trew Audio in North Hollywood. Also Dan Dugan in San Francisco. Remember they well into Nagra recorders and service, however not any more. They may have in the files the list you are liooking for. Good luck hope they can help. Another thought contact Nagra USA in Switzerland

Aloha, for many years Dan Gibson produced the best all around parabolic reflector. Keep in mind the diameter is related to the low frequency response. Dan's parabolic was approx 19" diameter which would be equivalent to about 700hz no less for low frequency. You can then fit a bunch of omnidirectional mics on this reflector to fit your needs. Hope this helps

Aloha, a great review, quite detail. Excellent job

Aloha, I have had extensive performance with the MKH70 mic. It works great

Aloha your Nagra 1VS was manufactured in 1976. Cheers

Sony ECM-MS5 is MS stereo

Aloha, lots of great ideas generated for you from sound guys with a lot of experience. It would appear to me that even the best low ambience mics like Sennheiser are going to really be taxed in picking up the desired effects you are hoping for. This room is not ever going to be super quiet. The Foley idea seems quite real as you can record the desired effects and then patch them into the finished product. Hope it all works out for you, cheers

Aloha, for many years I have used Sennheiser MKH 30/40 mics for MS recoding. They have always been great for getting the desired results. For my use the Audio Developments Matrix box gives me the flexibility to adjust the total MS pattern, opening up or reducing the overall polar patterns needed.

Aloha, the Garfield Softies are great. All of my headphones have them, they even fit my Beyer DT-48.
