From the Nagra Website:
Manufactured from 1970 to 2003
The NAGRA SN recorders (for “Série Noire”), in spite of their small size, produce exceptionally high quality recordings. It is much appreciated by reporters, who can record broadcast quality tapes and, at the same time, be more mobile.
It was originally ordered for the American Secret Service and was even taken to space as part of the Apollo missions.
KEY FEATURES
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.
The tape-deck is milled from a solid piece of metal and the case and lid are of drawn light metal alloy.
All electronic circuits are highly sophisticated and include a voltage converter with variable ratio, and an automatic level control. A special miniature omnidirectional capacitor microphone can be used and it is also possible to work with a conventional dynamic microphone.
A small meter indicates the compression rate of the automatic level control or the battery voltage. Headphones can also serve as an output monitor (confidence playback).
