INTRODUCTION
The NAGRA-V is a 24 bit solid state audio recorder / player using a removable hard drive as its storage
medium (HDD). The information is stored as a digital linear FAT16/32 Broadcast Wave Format. Also equipped
with an AES input and output as well as M/S technology and weighing less than 3.5 kg (including batteries),
makes the NAGRA-V the most versatile tool available.
The front panel, metal chassis and features were all designed using the experience of previous NAGRA
recorders which render the NAGRA-V easy to operate even in harsh environmental conditions. It is powered
by a Lithium Ion rechargeable pack, NiCd, Ni Metal Hydride or eight standard "D" cells. The record autonomy
with a Lithium Ion pack is approximately 10 hours. With two 7Ah Ni Metal Hydride packs, it is 6 hours and with
8 standard D cells, it runs approximately 5 hours.
A set of software menus allows the configuration of the machine for selections such as Analogue or AES or
input or output routing, Time Code settings and machine configuration etc. Equipped with switchable
microphone pre-amplifiers and built-in monitoring speaker and headphone output the NAGRA-V resembles a
conventional NAGRA.
A full RS 422 communication port gives access to diagnostics for technical service, as well as PC
communication using the NV-Com Software.
