Phaedrus Audio and Pspatial Audio collaborate in international marketing and sales of the Stereo Lab software family. New version 3.2.0 is now available which incoporates the unique, Mach ONE lossless noise-reduction to eliminate lathe-rumble from records.

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 third 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.
