Nagra is announcing a new hand-held recorder at the National Association of=
 Broadcasters meeting in April.  The exhibitors guide says:

"The Nagra SD is a hand-held digital audio recorder, packed with features, =
menu driven, and housed in a sturdy aluminum case. It uses a selection of d=
ifferent plug-on Nagra microphones or an XLR cable for an external dynamic =
microphone or line input. Audio storage media is an extractable SD memory c=
ard. Records PCM linear audio (24 kHz to 96 kHz) or MPEG compressed audio. =
Other features include 3 second pre-record buffer, USB 2.0 communications."

This model sounds like a successor to the Nagra Ares-M II recorder.  I can'=
t attend the NAB convention this year.  If you're attending (Dan Dugan? oth=
ers?), please stop by the Nagra booth (C1605) and take a look.
