NAGRA SN Mono Tape Recorder

NAGRA SN Mono Tape Recorder
Sub-miniature professional mono, tape recorder with full or half-track recording options using cassette width analogue tape. The NAGRA SN recorder, in spite of its small size, produces exceptionally high quality recordings. It is much appreciated by reporters, who can record broadcast quality tapes and, at the same time, be more mobile.

The SN solves film-makers' synchronous sound recording problems: it can easily be concealed during filming and strict synchronization is guaranteed. For scientific research, the SN can also record data while on board a propelled craft. Reels of narrow 1/8" (3.81 mm) tape are used, and tape drive is by a slaved capstan motor. Rewind is manual but rapid thanks to an overdrive system, using a small folding crank handle. There are two versions of the recorder:

NAGRA SNN full-track recording, 3 3/4 and 1 7/8 in./sec. (9.5 and 4.75 cm/s)
NAGRA SNS
half-track recording, 1 7/8 and 15/16 in./sec. (4.75 and 2.38 cm/s)

AATON Cantar-X

AATON Cantar-X
Every detail of Cantar has been honed to perfection to make the task of a location-recordist as easy as possible, while providing the utmost flexibility.
The five mics, four lines analog rotary faders as well as the six linear track faders are positioned on the upper surface of the machine in such a way that operator's hand rests on them in a perfectly natural position, allowing convenient control of the knobs, whether the recorder is on the shoulder strap or on the cart. With its twelve-degree slanted upper surface, Cantar is as easy to use as a studio mixing console.
Another practical consideration: the faders as well as the limiter and filter actuators still are at operator's fingertips when Cantar is inside a carrying pouch holding four RF mike receivers.
Cantar's three circular read-outs and alphanumeric panel constitute the largest control surface of any known portable recorder; all fundamental operational parameters are plainly visible at a glance. The display panel can be swiveled to provide the optimal viewing angle for the operator.

Specifications: 230 x 310 x 80 mm (9 x 12 x 3.2") 7.5 lbs.

AATON Cantar-X Accessories

The Cantar built-in CD/DVD+R burner is not a quickly added afterthought on top of an existing design. It is built within the recorder structure, nested behind the swivelling front panel.
Well protected against rain and dust winds in which Aaton machines -recorders and cameras- must survive, it nevertheless remains instantly interchangeable,(like on a laptop) if something goes wrong with the burner mechanics.
No single media today can match the pervasiveness of CD-Rs / DVDs as a means to carry audio files into any computer on earth. They are so inexpensive that there is no reason not to burn a two track mixdown for the telecine transfer and the Avid or FCP room at the end of the day, and some others for the final mix suite later.

FireWire. Truly hot-plug and bi-directional, FireWire allows Cantar to record audio files simultaneously on the internal hard-drive and on an external disk. No more time wasted in post-mirroring. Through FireWire also, Cantar can burn the day's two-track mixdown onto standalone CDR/DVD+R.
With the bi-directionality of FireWire, the internal hard disk is directly accessible from a Mac/PC desktop to install software updates, to make audio file copies for transmission to a server, to load pre-recorded sounds to be played back during recording - a quite useful feature for music videos and natural looking phone conversations.

Bluetooth. This RF system allows a PDA to remote-control all Cantar functions, displays and configurations. Scene & Take ID plus various metadata can be entered from the PDA. Bluetooth can also be used for wireless connection to an external eight track console or a simple keyboard.
Given the software controlled structure of Cantar, the PDA is a very convenient way for sound mixers to store all their custom configurations so as to recall them at any time, even on another machine. Rent a Cantar, push 'Config Upload,' and you are in front of a machine which is exactly configured like yours.

FOSTEX PD-6 DVD Location Recorder

FOSTEX PD-6 DVD Location Recorder
When Fostex embarked on the process to design a successor to the industry standard PD-2 and PD-4 portable timecode DAT machines, they knew they had set themselves no easy task. Having invented both timecode and portable timecode DAT, Fostex location recorders had become, and still are, the most widely used and respected DAT machines for film & television sound production around the world, helping their users earn respect, gain work and to win many coveted international awards.
That’s why they knew it was important to follow the design and philosophy processes that had made their previous machines the first choice of sound mixing professionals. Namely, to prove the technology in a stationary, stand-alone format and obtain comprehensive & wide-ranging user-feedback prior to taking it out into the field.
Every aspect was looked at and offered up for evaluation; the recording media, the functionality of the mixer, the interfacing connections, the timecode implementation and, of course, the user interface.

FOSTEX DV-40 Master Recorder

FOSTEX DV-40 Master Recorder
The Fostex DV40 Master Recorder is designed to record and playback audio data directly onto a DVD-RAM disc. The unit offers high reliability recording by employing a Verify/Write mode, which examines all recording data, all the time, while in the record mode.
The DV40 employs the UDF file format mode that establishes file compatibility between Computer based Work Stations. The user can choose either SDII or BWF (.WAV) as the desired audio file format and also choose either 24 bit or 16 bit resolution.
Recording track modes can be selected from MONO, STEREO, or MULTI (4track). Various sampling frequencies can be chosen: 44.1 / 48 / 88.2 / 96 / 176.4 / 192kHz*.
The DV40 offers internal file conversion between 4track or STEREO files and Multitrack mono files. File editing modes offer non-destructive edit functions such as Copy, Paste, Insert, Cut and Erase.
You can choose between 2 recording modes: “New file” and “Insert”. The recorded data in the Insert mode offers Time Jump, UNDO functions supported by time and date. The other mode available is Tape mode (destructive mode), which offers data security for accidental power cut, i.e., previous recording is secured up to the point where power loss occurs. For back up and archiving a Disc duplicate mode is available by installing an optional HD, while Audio file duplicate modes are possible on board (no hard drive necessary.)

FOSTEX D-15 Professional Timecode DAT

FOSTEX D-15 Professional Timecode DAT
Based on technology first seen in the market leading D-10, the D-15 features 8 Mbit of DRAM on-card to provide instant start, ‘RAM scrub’ and ‘RAM repeat’ with 1 ms accuracy for precision cueing with advanced jog/shuttle techniques.
In addition, this facility has been utilized to provide the simulated ‘vari-speed’ required to enable a linear DAT transport to perform the chase synchronisation offered when the optional 8335 timecode expansion card is fitted.
The 8335 card enables the D-15 to playback and assemble record externally generated timecode, as with the D-10, which is essential for, say, ‘spinning in’ timecoded audio program material to a digital audio editing system. Furthermore, the 8335 card brings the D-15's new chase mode into its own by synchronising to external LTC when playing back with the option of referencing to external Word, Video and AES/EBU.
Fostex's reputation for ergonomic design is enhanced in the D-15's clear and concise front panel which features a large multi-function fluorescent display with 7 modes (5 different time scales plus ‘non-hold’ and ‘permanent’) of peak metering, soft touch illuminated transport keys, a large jog/shuttle wheel and the logical layout other buttons and switches.
The D-15 is equipped with a full compliment of all standard audio interfaces such as balanced +4dBu XLR I/Os and -10dBV RCA connectors as well as standards not often implemented on a machine in this class. AES/EBU and optical S/P-DIF are provided along with a 37-pin parallel interface for connection to cabled remote controls. Also a General Purpose Interface (GPI) is present - useful for remote and fader starts plus S-ID location - while the optional 8336 RS-422 card allows control of the machine via 9-pin protocol.
With such a comprehensive feature-set from a company with an unrivalled DAT pedigree, the D-15 is the perfect solutions machine.

HHB Portadrive PDR 2000 Recorder

HHB Portadrive PDR 2000 Recorder
Location audio acquisition in the 21st Century is about much more than just 2-channel recording. The modern sound recordist must be able to capture pristine sound from multiple microphone sources onto a durable, high-capacity medium, and produce those recordings on demand in a post-friendly format. And with a director's mix to organise and daily rushes to provide, the demands placed upon the sound recordist have never been greater.
That's why location sound specialists HHB developed the PORTADRIVE PDR 2000, a 'next generation' location recorder which combines 24-bit/96kHz multichannel recording on a rugged, removable HDD with simultaneous recording to an external device such as the optional PDRDVDBU DVD-RAM back-up unit, and all the features and facilities required to enable the sound recordist to work efficiently and effectively in even the most demanding conditions. And because audio is recorded in either AES31-3 or Pro Tools V5 session formats (using BWF or SDII audio files respectively) it's easy to transfer recorded data directly to Mac or PC workstations.

Recorded material can be internally edited and copied between cards with an easy to use, non-destructive editor which is a standard feature. Weighing less than 6 1/2 lbs., the ARES-C packs a powerhouse of features into a small package. With no moving parts, this solid state recorder is impervious to shock and vibration. And with all these advantages, it is still a NAGRA with proven reliability even in the harshest environmental extremes.
The front panel, metallic chassis, and features of the ARES-C were all designed using the experience of previous NAGRA recorders. This renders the ARES-C easy to operate and assures performance in temperatures from -5 degrees to +140 degrees Fahrenheit. It is powered by standard "D" cells, available worldwide, or rechargeable Ni-Cd sticks. Continuous operation is assured with the available AC charger, Still, 8 hours of operation can be obtained from batteries alone. Equipped with switchable phantom powered microphone pre-amplifiers, built-in monitoring speaker and headphone amplifier and programmable Automatic Level Control, the ARES-C bears a resemblance to its NAGRA predecessors.
Two auxiliary inputs, which can be mixed together with microphone inputs, as well as an input for signals treated with external noise reduction are available through the EXTENSION connection. Also available on this connector is the input for external clock sources. Two balanced line level outputs, one AES digital output and even a 600 ohm transformer coupled bi-directional telephone connection are standard on the ARES-C.
Designed as an over-the-shoulder recorder, all control and monitoring of input and output levels, operating modes and even menu function programming is available from the front panel. A set of software menus allows a simple configuration of the machine for all modes of operation providing flexibility to adapt to any situation. Four templates are available to store and instantly recall setups making field operation simple for even occasional users.
