I'm considering the Nagra SD but it appears there is not a setting for limiters. Are there any limiters on the device?
YESThe Nagra SD
does have a limiter.
You need the latest firmware - v1.2.0.12 - which you can download from the Nagra website
HERE - go to "Support" and select "SD" - the manual will also need to be downloaded as it's been updated to include the updates.
NB: some updates may change your settings, so make sure that you take a note of them before the update and re-set them after the update.After the update you will see in "Record settings" that "AGC" has been changed to "AGC/Limiter".
In this section you can set the:
"Target level" to -3dBFS, -6dBFS or -9dBFS
"Attack Time" to Short or Long
(default is -6dBFS/short)
You can also set the rear switch (marked AGC) to either switch AGC on or off, or to switch the Limiter on or off.
I am very glad you asked this question as I went through my SD to check and then decided to check the Nagra website to see if I had the latest firmware installed. I noticed that I had v1.2.0.8 and the latest was v1.2.0.12 - so I installed the latest version an there was the limiter in the latest version.
So, your answer is
YES and you have my thanks for asking the question, or I would not have found it for a while.
