wbrisett Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Is it just me, or does Nagra seem to be lagging way behind the other players in this field these days? Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDirckze Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Well... the Nagra V is one of the best sounding field recorders I've heard. Paired with a Schoeps MS pair was just heaven. As far as form and functionality though, perhaps they are lagging a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikefilosa Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 You can bet that the preamps are stellar ... I has certainly evolved into a thing of beauty... I am glad they went with the black faceplate instead of that royal blue preliminary version that we saw last year... Is that a speaker on top? I believe this was in the 8K price range ..... IF THEY ARE SMART and want to sell a few machines. This price point would be perfect for someone who wants more than 4 but less than 8 tracks. Am I correct that Deva and Cantar are now in the 1K range ? I think 6 is a great, very useful "track count" ... a mix track or two, and 4 or 5 isos if needed.... I just don't think I would want to use 8 (or 16!) very often, if at all, in a portable OTS machine. Yes, I would probably say "no thanks" to the around-the-neck, 6 or 7 wireless systems AND boom mic job, and save my energy for better days. I use an 824 for my occasional cart-based 8trk work. This new Nagra would mate very very well with the newer SQN 5S, with the 5 prefade outs.. I like the idea of having all the important interconnects for both all on the left sides! And you gotta love the big transport Knob ! I truly would like Nagra to be successful with this recorder... I miss them !

mikefilosa Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 How do you control inputs 5 & 6? http://www.nagraaudio.com/pro/pages/products_nagra_vi.php Your choice of blue, black, or burgundy! Inputs 5 and 6 double as switchable AES Digital inputs FAT32 -- AND FAT16 if you prefer ! Dual USB 2.0 (not firewire) - it would be nice if the currently unused second plug (planned for a keyboard) could be switched to feed another hard-disk - for those of us who could care less about struggling with potentially incorrect and oft unused waste of time and effort MetaData.... There must be some menu-driven onboard mixing as there are only two analog outs, but several AES outs on some sort of "Extension" connector... perhaps to feed a backup digital machine? It seems quite compact and ergonomic ... Mike Filosa, CAS Atlanta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
