Welcome along to another Mindburner video. Today's topic is a Niagara Tea, a fantastic
0:26
machine from the mid 80s. I've had this for quite some time and I really enjoy using the
0:31
machine, it's a fantastic product. So I'm doing this little piece of camera outside
0:35
because it's just a lovely winter's day in Belfast here with the snow which you don't
0:39
it very often. But enough of that, let's go into the studio and start looking at the machine.
0:45
Some time ago I did a short video on my Niagara Tea tape recorder. Although basic and low quality,
0:50
the video did seem to spark some interest so I decided to revisit this marvellous tape machine.
0:58
In 1951 Stefan Kuldelsky
1:00
developed a miniature, ultra-high quality audio recorder, the NIGRA 1.
1:05
Around five years later, the NIGRA 2 was born.
1:09
The NIGRA simply means, will record in the Polish language.
1:14
In 1971, the NIGRA SN was first developed.
1:18
It is a small, miniature reel-to-reel recorder,
1:21
which featured in spy films and quickly became an iconic recording machine.
1:26
NIGRA machines became sought after and quickly gained a hold in film and television
1:29
and became a workhorse in many edit and post-production suites.
1:34
Nagra have different divisions, some specialising in very high-end audio hi-fi.
1:39
No matter what the product, Nagra spells quality, design, build quality and workmanship second to none.
1:47
The Nagra T was first developed in 1981 as a stereo mastering machine for audio.
1:52
In 1984, an SMPTE equipped version was introduced for film and television.
1:57
This had an extra track of timecode.
2:00
which enables synchronization to film.
2:02
This was a very popular product for Niagara,
2:04
and many were sold to movie studios and TV stations.
2:09
The machine could be customized
2:10
with many different options and features,
2:12
and also be set up for individual tape types.
2:15
This machine is arguably one of the best
2:17
tape machines in the world.
2:24
A fabulous feature of the Niagara Tape
2:37
is the ability just to get inside
2:40
to see the inner workings, at least the motors and that. All you do is release two tabs,
2:44
there's one there and one has already been released, and then lift it up and there's
2:48
a nice little notched strip here and an arm which supports it. It's a bit like lifting
2:54
the bonnet of your car but it's really nicely done and there's a nice cross member here
2:59
to support the car.
3:00
frame. What we have are four large motors, two for the tape rails and two for the
3:06
tape drive. In the center is the speed stabilizer which controls the
3:11
relationship of the motors and it's beautiful wiring coming away from that
3:15
into the PCBs. This is a control I think for changing the speed of the tape. Below
3:22
this we have the tensiometers and what their job is to ensure that the tape
3:26
tension is perfect at all times so they send back signals to the CPU which can
3:31
then adjust the motors to compensate. These have been factory set and they
3:35
shouldn't be changed unless there's a good reason to. The service manual goes
3:39
through in detail how this is done but it definitely shouldn't be attempted by
3:43
someone who really has no knowledge of this, i.e. me, so I leave these things well
3:48
alone. But it's beautifully made inside and it is like a Swiss watch if anything.
3:52
So this is one of the four motor assemblies that are in the machine.
3:57
They have a cover. The cover just comes off.
4:01
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
0:26
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。
0:31
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
0:35
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。
0:39
它很频繁,但足够,让我们进入工作室,开始看机器。
0:45
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,
0:50
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。
0:58
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。
1:03
尼亚加拉1大约5年后,尼亚加拉2出生。
1:10
在1971年,尼亚加拉斯N首次发明。
1:19
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
1:24
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。
1:30
它已成为许多编辑和生产后套房的工作马。
1:34
Nagra有不同的部门,一些专门从事高端音频 Hi-Fi。
1:39
无论产品如何,纳格拉表示质量、设计、构建质量和劳动力。
1:47
Nagra T于1981年首次开发为音频的 stereo 掌握机器。
1:52
1984年,为电影和电视推出 SMPTE 配备版本。
1:57
这有一个额外的时间代码轨道,允许同步到电影。
2:02
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。
2:09
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。
2:15
这个机器可以说是世界上最好的带机器之一。
2:35
Nike Routine的精彩特点是进入内在的能力,以看到内在。
2:40
工作,至少在那里的发动机。
2:43
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。
2:46
然后抬起它,这里有一条漂亮的小带和一个支撑的手臂。
2:53
它。
2:54
它有点像抬起你的车子,但它真的很漂亮,有
2:58
一个漂亮的十字会成员在这里支持框架。
3:00
我们有四个大发动机,两个为带铁路和两个为带驱动器。
3:07
中心是控制发动机的关系的速度稳定器。
3:13
有美丽的线索从那里走到PCB。
3:17
这是我认为改变带的速度的控制。
3:22
下面我们有电压仪,他们的任务是确保带电压是
3:27
在任何时间都完美,所以它们将信号返回CPU,然后可以调整
3:31
发动机要补偿,这些已经是工厂设置,他们不应该
3:35
除非有理由,否则更改。 服务手册通过
3:40
细节如何做到这一点,但绝对不应该尝试
3:43
一个真正不知道这一点的人,即我,所以我把这些东西放好。
3:48
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。
3:52
因此,这是机器中存在的四个发动机组合之一。
3:57
他们有封面,封面就是这样出来的。
4:03
它有发动机的序列号和它的细节。
4:07
你知道多少奥姆, 20.5 你应该绘出多少毫米兰普。
4:11
在发动机内部,它相当漂亮。你在这里有一个中央鼓,
4:17
某种东西走向中间。
4:19
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。
4:24
由一个具有大热链的IC,这可能是增强器,一些电解容器
4:30
还有几块钱和这样的东西。
4:32
因此,这中的控制将像频道,输出频道到耳机。
4:36
耳机的音量。
