PRLog (Press Release) –
Apr 13, 2008 – The Rek-O-Kut De-Hisser removes annoying hiss and noise from both vintage and modern phonograph records as well as tape recordings of any format. The Rek-O-Kut De-Hisser is actually three products in one: a background hiss reducer, a left/right groove wall selector for mono records, and a low frequency noise filter (rumble filter). A Demo CD is available for $3.00 ppd.
GROOVE WALL SELECTOR switch allows selection of the least noisy groove wall of a mono record. In addition, The Rek-O-Kut De-Hisser features a unique circuit which cancels out rumble and similar noises that are common to both groove walls. Ordinary left or right only circuits permit low frequency rumble to pass. Our added circuitry removes the rumble and not the bass.
HISS REMOVAL is accomplished by, not a commonly used, variable hi-cut circuit, but by filtering selected portions of the audio spectrum that contain the noise. This results in no pumping of the background hiss by the program material.
THE LO-CUT switch can select two amounts of low frequency noise attenuation. The 40 Hz position will suffice for many noise plagued LP records and 78s, while the 80 Hz position may prove useful with old acoustic records, records with hum, severe warps, or records requiring extreme bass boost.
Esoteric Sound specializes in high performance audio equipment used for the reproduction of vintage recordings and in the restoration of such recordings.
