Broadcast Audio
Professional transfer of broadcast and professional audio tape collections into digital files.
Professional digitisation of audio tapes, video tapes, broadcast media, reel-to-reel recordings, family collections, cine film and other legacy audio-visual formats.
We help families, broadcasters, production companies, businesses, archives, museums and heritage organisations preserve ageing media and make it accessible as high-quality digital files.
Audio and video media can become difficult to play as equipment, tape formats and recording technologies age. Our role is to identify the original media, select the appropriate playback and capture equipment, digitise it carefully, and supply files suited to viewing, editing, access or preservation.
Choose the area that best describes your material. If you are unsure what you have, use our media identification service or contact us with photographs of the tapes, reels or equipment.

Files are supplied in the agreed format, with delivery and archive options tailored to the project.
Older media can be vulnerable to deterioration, playback problems and obsolete equipment. We aim to handle source material carefully and use a suitable transfer route for the format and condition presented.
A successful project should leave you with digital files that are practical for the way you intend to use them. We can discuss access copies, archive-quality masters, editing files and physical delivery.
