Nagra VI

[David Waelder]

I recently had the opportunity to look over the new Nagra VI. It's a six-channel hard drive recorder with four mike preamps and a Compact Flash slot. I find it a nice bridge between the small recorders (Sound Devices, Sonosax) and the larger, generally more expensive, machines like the Deva and Cantar. It is possible to get two hands on the controls and accomplish considerable work directly on the recorder without resorting to a companion mixer. But the capabilities are a bit less than what's available on some of the more expensive recorders. Still, a good addition to the mix or recorders presently available. Nagra quality, six tracks, well equipped at well under $8000.
