1.1
INTRODUCTION
The Nagra
IV-S
was introduced originally in 1971. It is a portable 6.35
mm
(1
/4")
analogue audio
tape recorder designed for high quality music recording, cinema and television applications.
Many mechanical and electronicmodifications have been made to the machine sin
ce
its release, to
adapt it according to modern day requirements. Despite all these modifications, the machine
remainsremarkably similar to the original. The last major development was made in 1964 when
the
SMPTE IEBU 80 bits centre-track time code was added.
The Nagra
IV-
S can be delivered in three different v
er
sions all of which are available in eith
er
NAB
or CCIR equalization. These versions are as follows:
N05-L
SP
N05-L
N05-T
C
Non pilot
Pilot
Time code
Each version has three speeds: 38 crtvs, 19
cmJ
s and 9.5 c
mJs
(15, 7i and 3
-1
ips) with the
following standards: NAB, CCIR and NAGRAMASTER (at 15 ips only).
The Nagra IV
-S
is a stereo recorder with two 2 mm audio tracks (2.75
mm
tracks on the
NQ8-lSP
non-pilot machines) and a central track for pilot or time code uses, depending on
the
machine type.
The two audio channels may be used with either the two internal mi
cr
ophone pre-amplifiers
(switchable between Dynamic, T power and Phantom power) or with a current line input. via the
QCSE cable. The two potentiometers on the front panel may be mechanically "GANGE
D"
together
for easier
co
ntrol, by moving the small white lever located on the green control.
The NAGRA
IV-S
also contains a switchable limit
er
, a
built-in
l
oudspeaker
,prov
ision
f
or
connection to an external noise reduction system and an internal reference generator for line up,
and calibration purposes.
Optionally the machine may
be
fitted with either the NAGRASYNC pilot option
or
the SMPTElEBU
80 bits time code option.
The machine may also be powered from either an external supply
ATN-3
or internal batteries.
(See page I 1.2
-1
).
The
IV-S
may also
be
used with the
DGB
10" reel adaptor, to allow the use
of
larger reels f
or
longer recording and playback.
June

1.2 POWER SUPPLY
All models of the NAGRA IV- S may
be
powered by an external power supply (ATN
-3)
or
alternatively by internal batteries. The I
V-S
will accept voltages ranging from
-,
1 V to
-3
0 V with
peaks
of
up to
-3
5 V.
The batteries are placed in the bott
om
of the machine and the polarity is marked inside the
compartment which is opened by turning the two fasteners with a screwdriver or a small
co
in. All
the batteriesMUST be orientated in the same direction as indicated on the base of the battery
compartment.
The NAGRA
IV-S
houses twelve 1.5 V
ce
lls having a maximum diameter of 33.5 mm and a length
of
between
59
.5 and 62.5 mm. The cells manufactured under the following standards are generally
acceptable: CEI R-200. ASA
"D
" and
L9D
.
It is important to remember that corrosive material can leak out of flat batteries, causing severe
damage to the recorder, and therefore it is recommended not to leave batteries in the
ma
chine
during periods of storage.
The external supply is led into the machine via connector (48) on the right-hand side of the
machine. Rechargeable batteries may also
be
used and can be charged using the
ATN-3
C (order
no 14376) which includes the charger circuitry.
To
check the state of the batteries or the external supply, set modulometer switch (12) to the
MSA
TT
Mposition: in this case the red needle of the modulometer indicates the battery voltage on
the (volts Icell) scale and the green needle indicates the voltage needed by the motor.The
difference between these two readings shows the battery reserve.
When the power supplied to the machine is insufficient for normal operation of the recorder, the
rotary indicator "SPEED AND POWER" on the front panel of the machine will turn bla
ck
. The
IV-S
will function when the power is as low as 12 V (at 15 ips 138 cm/s) and down to as low as
10.5 V at the lower speeds. (These figures correspond to a machine in perfe
ct
condition and
working at room temperature).
NOTE
:Time Code machines will stop recording Time code when the batteriesbecome flat
before the audio recording is affected.
When using an external supply, selector switch (3) must
be
in the "EXT" position. It
mu
st be in the
"SA
TT
"position when internal batteries are in use. It is not necessary to r
em
ove the batteries
when working with an external supply (and vi
ce
versa).
NOTE: For information on power supply to the time code circuits of the
IV-S
TC
refer to page
IV6
.1
-1 .
EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY
On the right-hand side of the machine there is a 6 pin Tuchel-type T 3403 connector marked
"POWER PACK". The
co
rresponding plug is the T 3400
/1
.
The connections are as follows:
pin 1 =Battery negative
pin 2 - Chassis (positive)
pin 3 =Pilot playba
ck
output
pin 4 =Speed correction signal input
pin 5 =Negative external supply
pin 6 =-1 a vstabilized output.
June 1988 I1.2-1

1.3 DANGER OF REVERSE POLARIZATION
A reverse
polarized
power supply (negative to the chassis) WILL damage the machine. To reduce
the risk of serious damage a diode is placed in
parall~
with
the supply which will be short-circuited
in
the
event 01 reverse polarization. tf such an event occurs with normal "dry cells".they will be
raptdty exhausted and
no
further
damage
will
oc
cur.
On
the
other
hand.
certain accumulators are capable 01supplying suttictenl curr
en
t (in exc
es
s of 8
amperes) s
uch
that the intemal wiring
of
the machine will
become
hot enough to ca
use
its
insulation to
decompose
.This

1. TAPE I
DIRECT
SWITCH
(line
and
phones)
Wh
en
in "TAPE"
pos
ition, the signal is reproduced dire
ctly
fr
om
the tape.
When in "DIRECT" position, there are two posibilmes:
A. When recording. the signal is available before arriving on the tape.
B. When playing back. the signal may be adjusted by means of the level
co
ntrols and
co
r
rec
ted by filter swi
tc
h (13).
2. TAPE I
DIRECT
(snap
switch)
This switch affects the meter in the same way that the previous switch affects the outputs. Thus
when it is held to the left, the meterwill display the WOFF TAPE" signal whereas normally it
displays the "DIRE
CT"
signal.
3. POWER

Stops the machine completely from any function. and will slightly move the
pinch wheel away from the capstan to prevent a flat being ca
us
ed on the pin
ch
roller. In this mode no circuits are powered (with the exception of the
RAM
and
REAL TIME CLOCK in machines fitted with SMPTE /EBU
lim

section IV "TIME CODE AND PILOT" of this manual for further details.
Will power all circuits and allow level adjustment by means of rever
co
ntrols (6)
and (7). In this mode the motor is n
ot
powered. All indications of the
modulometer will be of the DIRECT input, irrespective of the position of tape I
dire
ct
switch (1).
Is the first of the two RECORD positions and corresponds to REC
ORD
WITH
LIMITER where the recording level is limited to
-+
4dB. This level remains
constant when the input level is between
-+
4dB and
-+
10
dB
. Thus in this
position tape saturation cannot occur and distortion is avoided.
The limiter is inactivated in this position so that recordings that should be
saturated can be made. (e.g. Gun shots or explosio
ns
).
Is the first
of
the two playback possibilities and corresponds to playback of the
tape to the headphones and line outputs only.
This position is exactly as above, only it allows monitoring via the internal
loudspeaker at the same time. This is also the only position of the main
function selector that permits the FAST FORWARD fu
nc
tion to be perfor
me
d
(see page I 1.4--6).

5.
LIGHT
(push
button)
When pressed, the modulometer (and time code display on T.C. machines)
Will
be illuminated as
long as the button is pressed, providing there is sufficient power available to the machine.If this
button is pressed and then turned to the right the lamps will remain "ON" . This button is active
when the main function selector is in any position other
than"
STOP".
6. LEVEL
CONTROL
(rlght-green-lower track)
7. LEVEL
CONTROL
(Ieft-red-opper
track)
These are the main level controls for the two audio channels. They may be linked (ganged) by
means of the small white lever situated on the left-hand knob (green) which activates a friction
clut
ch
. The 200 pbar point on each channel corresponds to an accoustic pressure of 200
pb
ar on
the capsule of a 200 Ohm dynamic microphone having a 0.2 mV/lJbar sensitivity. In this case the
modulometer reading should be 0dB.
8. REFERENCE
OSCILLATOR
(push
button)
On the lower edge of the front panel, between the left and right level control potentiometers.there
is the reference generator push button. When this button is pressed, a
co
mposite 1
.1
Khz signal
with a 10 Khz 9th harmonic at a level of approximately
-8
dB is injected into the "DIRECT" chain
of the recorder.
The modulometer will show
-8
dB. It is useful to record a short burst of this signal at the beginning
of each reel of tape so as to enable the level of the playback chain to be accurately calibrated
before the real recording is made. This also permits adjustment of the record head azimuth in the
field without test equiptment. At this point the subject of print-through should be mentioned. After a
certain period of time, a recording may be copied (at reduced level) onto adjacent turns of a tape
on a reel. This produces a perceptible echo during the silences preceeding or following astrong
sound.
It is thus recommended to leave a pause of two or three tums of tape after recording the
"REF
"
signal.
9.
MIKES
I
LINE
SWITCH
This three position switch is the main input selection switch. It allows the operator to sele
ct
between MIG or LINE input on both channels simultaneously or "
LI
NE" input on channel 2 (right)
and
simultaneously
"MI
C" input on channel 1 (left). The upper position allows "LINE" inputs to
both channels via connector (41), and the other positions allow selection between "MIC" inputs
(36) and (37).
10.
NRS
I
NORMAL
SWITCH
This switch allows the use of an external noise reduction system when connected to the
lV-S
via
connector (42).
When an external "NRS" system is not being used, this switch should remain in "NORMAL".

13. FILTER SWITCH
This is a six position rotary switch affecting both channels.
FLAT The machine has a linear frequency response between 20 and 20000 Hz (Direct
chain).
MUSIC A high pass filter is put in the direct chain, which has a response of
-3
dB at 40
Hz.
M+LFA
SPEECH
S+LFA
ROLL OFF
This puts the MUSIC filter and LOW FREQUENCY ATTENUATION of
-7
dB at
40 Hz and
-3
dB at 400 Hz into the direct chain.
This puts a high pass filter of
-3
dB at 80 Hz into the direct chain.
This corresponds to the SPEECH filter and LOW FREQUENCY ATTENUATION
of
-7.5
dB at 80 Hz and
-3
dB at 400 Hz.
This position gives the direct chain strong low frequency attenuation,
-10
dB at
100 Hz and
-3
dB at 400 Hz.
14. MODULOMETER
This two needle meter is the visual indication of many functions and levels of the machine. The
modulometer displays information according to the position of mode selector switch (12). All IV-S
modulometers are fitted with two small lamps which will light up the display when switch (5) is
pressed. The right-hand lamp will also light up the time code display, when the keyboard is out, via
a small lens in the bottom of the modulometer on the time code version of the recorder.
The modulometer has 4 scales:
1. Recording level in dB
2. Frequency deviation in %
3. Groove depth and motor supply current
4. Battery voltage (volts / cell)
15. TC IPILOT INDICATOR
This rotary "SASS" type indicator shows a white segment when the frequency (in the case of a
pilot machine) and the amplitude of the time code / pilot signal are correct.
NOTE: This only indicates the presence of a correct signal being fed to, or coming from the
head, and does not guarantee correct recording of the signal. This should be checked
by switching the modulometer to TC / PILOT playback (this does not function in the
RECORD mode). In the case of a time code machine, the signal should also be verified
by means of the display on the keyboard, because both the previous methods will show
a signal even though the time code generator may have been stopped and the same
time code will be recorded over and over again.
This indicator functions in all modes other than test.

16. SPEED AND POWER INDICATOR
This rotary "SASS" type indicator gives a quick visual indication that the machine is functioning
correctly and will indicate a while segment when this is the case. and will tum black whenever any
of the lollowing conditions occur:
- Power

Thus. when a white segment is indicated,
the
operator can be absolutety sure that
the
power
supply is sufficient, that the
mo
lor current is correct,
and
that the tape
speed
is within tolerance.
17. HEADPHONES OUTPUT
This 1/4" jack type socket (type 297) is the headphones output socketaccepting headphon

Position 1 is the minimum and position 6 is the maximum.
19. HEAOPHONES MOOE SELECTOR
This is a six position rotary switch allowing the operator to select the signal which is sent to the
headphones connector. It selects between CUE channel (FM centre track), left audio channel, right
audio channel, mono or stereo. The first position of the selector is "OFF".
