Phaedrus Audio are joining Pspatial Audio to collaborate in international marketing and sales of the Stereo Lab software family.

Originally a stereo-enhancement program, Stereo Lab has developed over several years and, now with the addition of equalisation and noise-reduction for all shellac-era records, Quadraphonic decoding, 5.1 up-conversion and full implemention of loudness measurement and adjustment to ITU BS.1770-3, the software has value to mastering, broadcast and recording sound engineers as well as sound-archivists working with media which might range from phonograph cylinders, to analogue-cassette tape, to high-resolution digital files.

Now Pspatial Audio have published an e-book. Now in its second edition, the Needle-Drop Handbook is a complete guide to the history, theory and technology of getting the best from phonograph records for archivsts, collectors and vinylistas.
