Nagra
High-end audio recorders

Nagra Kudelski GmbH, also known as Nagra Audio or simply Nagra, is a Swiss developer and manufacturer of high-end audio equipment for the professional audio and film industry, with its headquarters in Romanel-sur-Lausanne (Switzerland). They are particularly known for their wide range of professional audio recorders and a series of high-precision miniature tape recorders. Nagra also produces a range of special products for law enforcement and intelligence agencies.


Mechanical tape-based recorders were manufactuered and sold well into the 2000s, but have since been replaced by modern – digital – alternatives. Nevertheless, all Nagra products, including vintage recorders (with the exception of the Nagra III) are still supported and serviced to this day (2019) through a large worldwide network of authorised Nagra service centers [4].

Replacement pinch rollers
It is increasingly difficult to find affordable good-quality replacement rubber pinch rollers for existing (vintage) tape recorders. Any new-old-stock (NOS) is likely to be very old, as a result of which the rubber may have turned hard or liquid. Freshly made rubber pinch rollers are available from Terry Witt in the US: http://www.terrysrubberrollers.com
