The Nagra 4.2 is a 1/4” reel-to-reel analog monaural magnetic audio tape recorder designed by Stefan Kudelski and built in Switzerland by the Nagra Company. Renowned for the top quality engineering and sound recording quality, the Nagra tape recorders were embraced by the motion picture, television, radio, and music recording industries. These recording devices operate with the precision of a Swiss watch, and remain one of the finest audio recorders out there. The Nagra 4.2 was introduced in 1971 as a successor to the world-renowned Nagra IV. I have inspected this unit to make sure that it records on both channels and at all speeds; that it plays back through both the headphone jack and the internal speaker; that the modulometer works in all of its functions; that the pilotone flag and speed and power flag are working; and that the rewind, playback, and recording controls work properly. This is an excellent, gently used Nagra 4.2 and would make a wonderful addition to any filmmaking setup or audio recording studio.
