Nagra V

The NAGRA V is designed as the successor to the NAGRA IVS-TC and a replacement for R-DAT. NAGRA V is a light, compact and reliable recorder manufactured to suit on-the-shoulder / on-location engineer needs.

The high audio quality makes it excellent for most types of music recordings. It can be delivered in the “single” or “double” modulometer configuration and can be completed with a wide variety of accessories. Available with an optional internal HDD, it comes with either the removable hard disk, or removable compact flash media.

Record Medium
The NAGRA V records to a removable 2.5″ hard disk OR compact Flash card allowing approximately 1hour of 48 kHz 24-bit recording per GB of available disk / card space. The hard drive is mounted in a removable drawer and can simply be connected to a PC or a Mac using: USB2 / PCMCIA / Firewire adapters and can also can be plugged into a 3.5 inch IDE bay. The CF card slot replaces the removable bay on the top of the machine. Audio file transfer is made easy, fast and at an affordable price.

Optionally the NAGRA V can be equipped with an additional internal shock-mounted hard disk. With this option permanent automatic copying can be made for back-up purposes. Other options such as Audio limiters, cases, power supplies etc are also available.
