Title: Nagra Pico
Post by: RichT on October 10, 2012, 08:15:40 AM: Look what seems to have appeared on the Nagra site:
http://nagraaudio.com/pro/pages/products_nagra_PICO.php

Small recorder 2ch- similar specs to Sony PCM-M10 and silly long (40hr) battery life. 3V pip on mic in (1/8" minijack) No external card options but 4GB internal memory.

Don't know the price- would expect it to be more than similar prducts though, but would expect better quality. Doesn't look as rugged as the Nagra SD

Post by: it-goes-to-eleven on October 13, 2012, 04:51:29 PM: Cool - the lino is a copy of the R-09. How quaint.

Post by: F.O.Bean on October 13, 2012, 06:49:36 PM: to be competitive w the m10, the lino better be pretty cheap imo!

best post in this thread so far.

The Lino has the same dynamic range spec as well.

Looks like a down-rated Nagra SD with fixed mics.

Post by: JD on October 16, 2012, 11:07:06 AM: The Lino looks like it has some potential if the price is right. Found this on their website......http://www.nagraaudio.com/pro/doc_en/Leaflet_LINO.pdf (http://www.nagraaudio.com/pro/doc_en/Leaflet_LINO.pdf)

Post by: TimeBandit on October 17, 2012, 03:54:59 AM: Big Problem of the Lino: no big difference to the m-10 and i don't see anything special (besides Nagra printed on it) like a really good Mic preamp or how much PIP it provides.
and battery runtime on the M10 much longer.

Post by: andromedanwarmachine on October 17, 2012, 08:26:23 AM: The PICO, £189 + vat in the UK??!!

"Hello Richmond Film Services...?!"

that's amazing- got to be the cheapest bit of Nagra gear ever made! I think I'll go for that actually; I've been thinking about a smaller carry EVERYWHERE stand-in machine. Shame about the 16bit though.

It'd be nice to get a cost on the LINO...
