Nagra LB

[John Willett]

Saw this at AES Amsterdam - looks *very* nice - and cheaper than the current Nagra BB.

Details HERE.



BWAV up to 24/192 as well as MP3 and MPEG layer II.

Oooo...pretty, I want one

No I don't...yes I do...no I dont...

I'll just lay here under a pile of previously purchased recorders and hope the feeling wears off

hot swappable memory and it's 6.8 x 2.5 x 7.25 inches. 

what's it gonna cost?  edit:  saw $3K on one site

this feature sounds particularly cool:

"The microphone inputs are of the highest possible quality and are fitted with a special integrated vortex filter to virtually eliminate wind noise."

[Gutbucket]

I assume the've adjusted the threshold of the "integrated vortex filter" to faithfully capture the spiralling decent into musical chaos of the freeform improvisational segment, deep in the second, late-night set without distortion.

It's due to start shipping in July, by the way.

The long awaited Nagra VI should start shipping now (in two weeks time I was told by Nagra two weeks ago).



I'm definitely getting one of these.

120 Gb internal hard-drive, I don't get it, they could add $10 to the RRP and give you 250 Gb.

"The Nagra LB is fitted with an internal 2GB NAND flash memory which serves two important rolls."  Rolls as in Royce, I guess.

Congrats. Think I might stop by their office in Franklin next time I am there and play with one.

Just found out today that it should start shipping in a couple of weeks (small delay while they finished something else) - the LB is due July/August.

I may just get both - in which case I will have a Foster FR-2 with all the trimmings for sale.

For anyone interested - the review I wrote on the NAGRA VI for LineUp magazine is now on-line HERE.

I hope to bet the LB for review sometime next month and will report back on that later.

Nice review. 

I'd love to see a side by side test of the Nagra VI and Zaxcom's Deva Fusion.   Many featureset differences between the two but both are at the same price point.

The Nagra LB would compare with a 722 i'm guessing?

Thanks.

I think the LB may be nearer the 702 than 722 - but we will have to wait and see.  Of course, it may be different in the USA as SD is made in the USA and the Nagra in Europe, so the exchange rate may get in the way.

Which comes with TC capability?

The LB (like the 702 and 722) does not have timecode - the LB does have a time stamp, I am told.

The LB is not out until next month, so we'll see then.

You can buy a 702 with time code.  It's the 702T.  The only other 7xx with time code are the 744T and 788T.  No time code for the 722.

While the Nagra VI is impressive I can't see the LB making a huge dent in the market for sub $2500 recorders.  SD has such a huge lead in the marketplace already and the LB does not appear to offer any gotta have features that the 7xx boxes don't.

I like the Nagra VI but it looks rather dated when compared to the similar priced Zaxcom boxes.  The Aaton Cantar x2 is a bad ass box but is $5k or more than the Nagra or Zaxcom boxes.
