We have the experience and equipment to play phonograph records and electrical transcriptions up to 16 inches in diameter and with virtually any groove width from stereo to 4 mils and beyond.  We have experience with vinyl, lacquer (aluminum, steel and glass substrates), shellac, aluminum discs and home recordings with cardboard substrates.  Our turntables can play 78, 45, 33 1/3, and 16 2/3 with pitch control to compensate for off speed recordings.  We maintain a stock of specially cut styli with both conical and elliptical tips.

With the exception of very early recordings, most records require equalization in order for them to sound right.  We have both hardware preamplifiers with variable rollover and turnover and software programs that can apply the necessary equalization.

Our reel-to-reel tape recorders can handle any size diameter reel up to 10 1/2 inches and track configurations of full track mono, half track mono, half track stereo and quarter track stereo.  We are limited to quarter inch width tape.  We can play mono and stereo audio cassettes including both Dolby B & C noise reduction.

Using a CEDAR Duo Declickle hardware unit along with various software plug-ins we are able to remove both impulsive noise (pops and clicks) and broadband noise (surface noise on records/hiss on tapes and cassettes).  In addition we can manually remove other noises such as coughing, doors slamming, coffee cups crashing to the floor, etc.

For those who want additional enhancements, we have plug-ins for equalizing, dessing, compression, expansion and other effects including the creation of a pseudo stereo sound from a mono source.

We can then burn the restored sound to an audio CD or a data CD with mpg-3 or WMA files or provide you with a data disc of the WAV files that you can then use in your own applications.  If desired, we can provide you with a DVD containing both the original unprocessed files and the processed files along with the cpd file that is used to create audio CD's in Sony's CD Architect.

In addition we can provide a label listing the contents of the restored material.  If desired, we can also create a front and back insert to be used in a hard plastic CD case.  While we can duplicate small runs of the finished product, we are not set up to provide larger orders of several dozen or more copies.  However, there are many third party companies that provide such duplication services.

For those who are working on a tight budget, we can provide an economy service in which the sound is "partially" restored.  We will run your record/tape/cassette through the CEDAR Duo Declickle and our various software plug-ins but not manually remove any remaining disturbances that might slip through the impulse and broadband filters.  In the case of LP's or tapes that are in excellent condition, that is often sufficient to provide a high quality sound.
