Welcome along to another Mindburner video. Today's topic is a Niagara Tea, a fantastic
machine from the mid 80s. I've had this for quite some time and I really enjoy using the
machine, it's a fantastic product. So I'm doing this little piece of camera outside
because it's just a lovely winter's day in Belfast here with the snow which you don't
it very often. But enough of that, let's go into the studio and start looking at the machine.
Some time ago I did a short video on my Niagara Tea tape recorder. Although basic and low quality,
the video did seem to spark some interest so I decided to revisit this marvellous tape machine.
In 1951 Stefan Kuldelsky
developed a miniature, ultra-high quality audio recorder, the NIGRA 1.
Around five years later, the NIGRA 2 was born.
The NIGRA simply means, will record in the Polish language.
In 1971, the NIGRA SN was first developed.
It is a small, miniature reel-to-reel recorder,
which featured in spy films and quickly became an iconic recording machine.
NIGRA machines became sought after and quickly gained a hold in film and television
and became a workhorse in many edit and post-production suites.
Nagra have different divisions, some specialising in very high-end audio hi-fi.
No matter what the product, Nagra spells quality, design, build quality and workmanship second to none.
The Nagra T was first developed in 1981 as a stereo mastering machine for audio.
In 1984, an SMPTE equipped version was introduced for film and television.
This had an extra track of timecode.
which enables synchronization to film.
This was a very popular product for Niagara,
and many were sold to movie studios and TV stations.
The machine could be customized
with many different options and features,
and also be set up for individual tape types.
This machine is arguably one of the best
tape machines in the world.
A fabulous feature of the Niagara Tape
is the ability just to get inside
to see the inner workings, at least the motors and that. All you do is release two tabs,
there's one there and one has already been released, and then lift it up and there's
a nice little notched strip here and an arm which supports it. It's a bit like lifting
the bonnet of your car but it's really nicely done and there's a nice cross member here
to support the car.
frame. What we have are four large motors, two for the tape rails and two for the
tape drive. In the center is the speed stabilizer which controls the
relationship of the motors and it's beautiful wiring coming away from that
into the PCBs. This is a control I think for changing the speed of the tape. Below
this we have the tensiometers and what their job is to ensure that the tape
tension is perfect at all times so they send back signals to the CPU which can
then adjust the motors to compensate. These have been factory set and they
shouldn't be changed unless there's a good reason to. The service manual goes
through in detail how this is done but it definitely shouldn't be attempted by
someone who really has no knowledge of this, i.e. me, so I leave these things well
alone. But it's beautifully made inside and it is like a Swiss watch if anything.
So this is one of the four motor assemblies that are in the machine.
They have a cover. The cover just comes off.
like so

欢迎来到另一个 Mindburner 视频,今天的主题是尼亚加拉茶,一个很棒的
机器从80年代中期。我已经有一段时间了,我真的很喜欢使用它。
机器,这是一个很棒的产品,所以我正在做这个小片的摄像机外面
因为它只是一个美丽的冬天在贝尔法斯特在这里,你不会看到的雪。
它很频繁,但足够,让我们进入工作室,开始看机器。
很久以前,我在我的 Nigra T 带录音器上做了一段短视频,尽管基本和低质量,
视频似乎引起了一些兴趣,所以我决定重新审查这个奇妙的带机器。
1951年,斯蒂芬·库德尔斯基开发了一款微型超高质量音频录音器。
尼亚加拉1大约5年后,尼亚加拉2出生。
在1971年,尼亚加拉斯N首次发明。
在间谍电影中出现的迷你轮到轮回录音器,很快成为一个标志性的录音器
尼亚加拉机器变得越来越受欢迎,很快就获得了电影和电视领域的支持。
它已成为许多编辑和生产后套房的工作马。
Nagra有不同的部门,一些专门从事高端音频 Hi-Fi。
无论产品如何,纳格拉表示质量、设计、构建质量和劳动力。
Nagra T于1981年首次开发为音频的 stereo 掌握机器。
1984年,为电影和电视推出 SMPTE 配备版本。
这有一个额外的时间代码轨道,允许同步到电影。
这是尼亚加拉非常受欢迎的产品,许多人出售给电影工作室和电视台。
该机器可以自定义许多不同的选项和功能,也可为个别带类型设置。
这个机器可以说是世界上最好的带机器之一。
Nike Routine的精彩特点是进入内在的能力,以看到内在。
工作,至少在那里的发动机。
你所做的就是释放两个标签,有一个在那里,一个已经释放了,和一个已经释放了。
然后抬起它,这里有一条漂亮的小带和一个支撑的手臂。
它。
它有点像抬起你的车子,但它真的很漂亮,有
一个漂亮的十字会成员在这里支持框架。
我们有四个大发动机,两个为带铁路和两个为带驱动器。
中心是控制发动机的关系的速度稳定器。
有美丽的线索从那里走到PCB。
这是我认为改变带的速度的控制。
下面我们有电压仪,他们的任务是确保带电压是
在任何时间都完美,所以它们将信号返回CPU,然后可以调整
发动机要补偿,这些已经是工厂设置,他们不应该
除非有理由,否则更改。 服务手册通过
细节如何做到这一点,但绝对不应该尝试
一个真正不知道这一点的人,即我,所以我把这些东西放好。
独自一人,但它是美丽的内部,它就像一个瑞士手表,如果什么。
因此,这是机器中存在的四个发动机组合之一。
他们有封面,封面就是这样出来的。
它有发动机的序列号和它的细节。
你知道多少奥姆, 20.5 你应该绘出多少毫米兰普。
在发动机内部,它相当漂亮。你在这里有一个中央鼓,
某种东西走向中间。
你现在正在寻找的是主要带机器中的耳机外面,主导的耳机。
由一个具有大热链的IC,这可能是增强器,一些电解容器
还有几块钱和这样的东西。
因此,这中的控制将像频道,输出频道到耳机。
耳机的音量。
