Professional recorders

Portable recorders continue to be an important part of the audio division's activities. These devices have always been distinguished by their design and unique features, as well as their unmatched robustness and long life.

Current machines are fully digital and, like their predecessors, are benchmarks in terms of performance and sound quality. They are designed to fit into the flow of current production, dominated by computer equipment and network communication.

Developed for specific uses and specific applications, Nagra recorders are destined mainly for the film, music and audio-visual media industries and the security domain. Some of them, produced at a lower cost with current technology, have also been able to attract a growing clientele outside professional circles.

Nagra's after-sale service for all its equipment, even the oldest, remains one of the great strengths of the brand. Users know they can count on a well-established global network and lasting technical support. In this connection, the website www.nagraaudio.com plays a growing part, allowing for example remote updating of equipment software.

It has six tracks and possesses microphone inputs of exceptional quality. It is equipped with an LCD screen for the operational and editing functions.
