Nagra VI
First Look
We were given an advance look at the new Nagra just prior to its formal introduction here in Los Angeles. Click on the picture for our impressions. |
|
| I recently had the opportunity to become acquainted with the new Nagra VI prior to its wide release. There is much to like in this new recorder but no machine is equally well suited to all applications. I’ll examine the relative strengths of the Nagra and try to evaluate how it fits into the mix of available digital recorders. (more) |

RF "Spray"
From the Nagra VI
A reader asked about RF "spray" from the Nagra and we ran some tests to investigate. Click on the picture to see the results. |
|
| Since radio mikes are a standard component on most film and television projects, any recorder must be compatible with radio receivers. This is especially important for a recorder that may be used in a shoulder bag and operate in close proximity to the receivers (more) |

The Sound Cart Project
Chinhda has updated and refined the design of his sound cart. With the design locked down, carts are again available for sale.
Click on the picture, at left, to see the latest version. |
|
| While there have been no progress reports for more than a year, Chinhda has not been idle. He took some time off from deadlines and client requests to refine the original design to make it stronger, more rigid and responsive to the challenges users faced in the field.(more) |

Accessories: Mount for the SD 788
Many clients have requested a mount to fit the new Sound Devices 788 recorder. The 744 mount is machined from a solid I-beam and not easily adaptable to the new recorder so Chinhda is devising something fresh. It will probably be similar to the prototype seen here. (Mouse over to slide the recorder in and out.) Chinhda is sitll working out some details like compatibility with the CL8 Controller. Watch this space for updates. |
