The advantages of contactless reproduction • The cylinders are not damaged. • Even damaged or broken cylinders may be read. • There are no reproduction problems caused by the contact of the pickup needle with the groove. • The large number of samples read, enables us to better reconstruct the original recording during processing.
Traditional data acquisition • One sensor, one analogue reproduction chain • Optional digital phase: - A-D converter - Digital restoration
Multi-sensor data acquisition • Many sensors, with as many analogue reproduction chains • A-D converters for each analogue channel • Digital preprocessing using digital data from each channel • Optional digital restoration
