TEHRAN – Sound recording engineer Nezameddin Kiai plans to donate two of his old tape recorders to the Film Museum of Iran.

Stellavox Sm5 and the mini Nagra SN are the two Swiss made tape recorders Kiai has used in recording Iranian films, the museum announced in a press release published on Saturday.

“It was in 1970’s when I was working for German TV and was attracted to the Stellavox Sm5 for its distinguishing characteristics. It is a special tape recorder and was unique due to its small size in those years,” Kiai has said.

“The Nagra SN is also a high-precision miniature audio tape recorder mostly used in the motion picture industry, for it was used for recording the actor’s voice when shooting a movie and it could also record the voice longer than other recorders,” he added.

He also said that he has used Nagra SN for recording “The Runner”, a 1985 film by Amir Naderi.

The two recorders are due to go on display in the “Dubbing and Voice” Hall of the museum.

“Homeland”, “The Orange Suit”, “The Crazy Castle”, “Age Forty”, and “From Tehran to Paradise” are among the films Kiaia has collaborated in as a sound recorder.
