Re: [gear] Nagra LB announced

Reading the specifications more closely, I see that the LB has several
features added that will be useful for ENG use.

The recorder has a full featured editor built in, with a jog/shuttle
wheel to assist.  A large speaker built into the top of the recorder
helps critical listening of a track for editing purposes.

Once a track is edited, the recorder can transmit the file to the
station using a built-in ethernet port, or by bluetooth to a cell
phone.  These features are unusual in a field recorder. The LB has
both USB device and USB host ports, and AES digital input and output.

These extra features combine with Nagra's robust construction to make
a machine that is larger and a bit heavier than many other 2 channel
recorders.

Nagra LB 65 x 175 x 185mm, 1400 g

In comparison, the Nagra ARES-BB+ is smaller and quite a bit lighter

Nagra ARES-BB+  56 x 168 x 160 mm, 1063 g
