FAQ
Common questions from institutional clients
What is the minimum order for enterprise audio restoration?
Enterprise engagements start at 100 audio files or a project value of $10,000. There is no upper limit β we have delivered projects spanning tens of thousands of recordings.
What audio formats do you accept for restoration?
We accept all standard digital audio formats including WAV, AIFF, MP3, FLAC, AAC, OGG, as well as transfers from physical media: vinyl records, shellac 78s, acetate discs, reel-to-reel tape, cassette tape, DAT, and optical film soundtracks.
What output formats do you deliver for archival use?
We deliver 24-bit/48kHz or 24-bit/96kHz uncompressed WAV files as standard for archival use. We can also deliver in FLAC, BWAV (Broadcast Wave), or any other format required by your institution's preservation standards.
How do you handle confidential or historically sensitive recordings?
All files are transmitted via encrypted channels and stored in isolated project environments. We sign NDAs upon request and can accommodate custom data handling agreements required by government or institutional clients.
How long does a large-scale audio restoration project take?
Turnaround depends on volume and complexity. Typical throughput is 50β200 hours of audio per week. For large archives, we develop a phased delivery schedule agreed upon at project kickoff.
Can you restore audio from physical media like film reels or magnetic tape?
Yes. We work with digitized transfers from any physical medium including 16mm and 35mm optical film soundtracks, reel-to-reel tape, Nagra field recordings, shellac 78 rpm discs, and acetate lacquer cuts.
Do you provide before/after samples before committing to a full project?
Yes. For all enterprise projects we provide a free restoration sample of up to 5 minutes of audio before you commit. This lets you evaluate quality and approve the processing approach before work begins at scale.
