    Hello,
    Personally I do not think that's a problem. You have to go through the assembly. Even if you do not touch anything, it was that chain the beaches and melt it all.
    But specialists will eventuelement you confirm or not what I say.
    Best Regards

    Important question: What about the "breath" and thus the quality of the pramplis 1,000 on a recorder?

    One comment said there would be a rattling noise in the sound ... like a copy with another brand (info: http://audioblog.fr/archives/2005/10/18/satis-2005-nagra-ares / # comment-7354

    I saw on another forum peremptory comment, saying the preamp IIP were much better than those of the Ares Mr. Somebody contradicts and he replied "I did not know ..." .dropoff window

    Does someone actually found a significant difference or is it only logical deduction based on the price?

    Otherwise, in the recording with the accordion, there is a second of silence when it stops. I find that the breath is very low but clearly audible electronic parasite. Do you know what it is due? The only time I had the opportunity to hear that, it was with poor quality microphones connections.

    I have been using for years. Since the test that I have done for AF (see section "articles").

    C'tait the era one of the first pocket recorders I was testing. Since then, I have full essay.

    What I like the most:
    - The sound, especially with the micro HQ (less with the micro base but defends himself when same)
    - Good battery life
    - Manufacturing quality
    - Cable to connect an external microphone

    What I like least:
    - The memory (relatively) limit
    - The transfer by USB 1
    - The battery compartment that does not accept batteries (slightly larger than batteries)
    - No phantom power supply to use a condenser microphone

    Ergonomics not obvious either. Once you get accustomed…

    Interest:
    A Rserver for people who want a product compact and good sound quality. Version 2 can be to prefer (double memory and USB fixes some slag this first release).

    I just read the article on the Nagra ARES-M. This is a good article and a test performed correctly. Thank you.

    For cons, the regulars machines Nagra (IV-S, V, BB + and IIP +), will jump to the wall by reading the sound quality is professional, I propose to test a Nagra PII or BB +, which, for a price (too) high, gives us a preview of real quality Nagra.
    This little device is difficult to use for a professional production. The abscence of 48V makes it unusable with a pair of stereo microphone static. The memory blocks us an hour and a half of recording, after you must have a laptop nearby, which is not very practical.

    In addition, preamps, even signed Nagra, are far from representative of the knowledge of the brand. I find the audio clips moderately convincing, with the breath, and very few low-mid. You find it good? The sound field is far from simple.
    Do the same tests with the IIP, which also has an integrated stereo microphone, and higher sound quality will be obvious.

    Not that I do not appreciate the ARES-M, but I think on a scale of sound quality, you must put things in their place, and not to tell the users which is not true. on the other hand, it's nice to have a small machine like this is very convenient, light, etc. .... (But not professional hi hi hi)
    Friendly.

    AudioFanzine I know is the why, but I wanted all of the same by leave a tip of the hat the quality of this article, sign test billyboy aka Will Zgal.
    same as me a happy owner of the Nagra Ares-M, I was pleased to read this test at least fairly comprehensive, I would say objective ("The thing that really misses (there are, yes) is the REC button to record. It is placed ...)").

    Brief. I must try the new micro capsule LEM.
    Is it for sale dj? I searched a bit without success.

    In short I contact my supplier and asked him to change.

    So I pass the Ares PII + and l. .. great. The sound quality is really high that the trs pramplis produce little noise. With an 8 GB card was 8 hours of recording in PCM 48Kz 24b. The ergonomics are great because it is empty. With quality mics (Neumann KM184 of 48v.) One enters a quality I wanted. All this in portable format. The Ares PII + is 3 times the price of the Ares M, but we finally rel satisfaction and uncompromising.

    First, it is to position the Ares M. It s'git a product range of commmercial now less than 1100 micro TTC with Lem ... It is therefore quite surprising to btir a critical comparison with much more expensive products. Logic requires, is less well forcment a premium product. There is nothing surprising or shocking in the Contents.
    Redhat tells us that there are 2 more times cheaper. It's possible. But if this statement could be a better taye, if only because giving a REFERENCE, would be much better or more crdible.

The sound quality is really with go-finesse, DEFINITIONS-(express some condition to assign rglages really fit what you pick DSIR)
    The BMOL:
    - The setting is poorly servive information on the doc. It took me a while took over as the only choice of a preset microwave is not enough. It takes at Prior paramrer the template in question by assigning all give ncessaires. It's not so obvious that on this doc.
    - The USB1 to transfer files, it's really not a good idea
    - The holding hands can gnrer of noise. It is be attentive enough.

    Personally I do not agree with some about the test: I think that Nagra has completely missed its entry into the digital age (see my opinion on the ares ares C and P on this site):

    I just tried the ARES M, preamp not live up to the mark that we were accustomed to the must when it came to analog (IV-S, E. ..), there are other products half the price with best quality.

    I'll ask myself since SUPPORT, but first:

    "It s'git product entry level commmercialisé now less than € 1100 TTC with micro Lem ... It is therefore surprising to build a critical comparison with much more expensive products."

    - It's not what I say, the ares ares C and P are certainly more expensive but it's still very very mediocre, far from what could provide time to nagra analog.

    So I'll give qques cheaper and at least as good (if not bad) quality:

    - AEQ paw120 (http://www.aeq.es/eng/pr_paw120.htm) cheaper and faithful copy of the ares M.
    - Zoom H4: € 300 and is comparable to the ares M.

    Amps of Ares M are much more efficient, if each DCID Difference in price is justified, but both devices are not in the same CATEGORY.

    For AEQ paw 120 is another story, the quality of the line appears in trssrieuse -96 dbA, and they indicate the microphone 122 dbA (wow. ..)

    http://www.savediffusion.fr/PAW120-AEQ.html

    The device is clearly manufactured in the same Chinese factory, but I think I read somewhere that the Nagra is completing a time machine back in Switzerland. Does the micro pramplis are assembled only this time the n'tait If not, it would not be smart to rev their part, the copy is part of Chinese culture.
    The low noise comes from the overall design of the device, which is well sign Nagra, and what nimporte prampli trs gets good performance in these conditions.
    Should make a comparison on real records, but on paper there is nothing wrong. In addition it seems we can get it with 1GB as the Nagra (which is not enough for all fawns).

    I've never tried an analog Nagra, but to all others in the same boat seems a bit excessive.
