The correct digitalization of an audio recording, depends mostly on his previous cleanliness. For it we depart from several premises:
- The practical totality of the audio recordings especially those grooved media, they need cleanliness or adequacy before the digitalization.
- The inadequate use of liquids or systems of cleanliness are going to propitiate not only the irreparable damage of the audio support that we try to digitize, but hurts to the player machines and even to the health of the one who manipulates it.
-Great report of the noise removal in a digitalization is obtained by the cleanliness and adequacy previous of the support to digitizing.
- In our team we rely on a chemical specialist in the manipulation of all kinds of products and his application to the audio supports. Automated machines of cleanliness, ultrasounds devices, chemical ovens, digital microscopes and other material of laboratory for a correct cleanliness.

We must depart from a complete study of the support before initiating any action on the same one. |
Tape recorder contaminated by fungi. There is needed a cleanliness and treatment specialized for his digitalization. It is possible to contaminate other bobbins and enclosedly hurts to our health if it is manipulated of inadequate form. |

Brown wax cylinder contaminated by colony of fungi. His previous cleanliness and treatment is necessary before beginning the digitalization. We can contaminate healthy cylinders, the players and even harm our health. |
Before beginning the cleanliness of the support we must verify all the information on his composition to adapt the chemical products and appropriate material. |

On this shellac 78rpm we can estimate the dirt lodged in the grooves. Before reproducing it, it is necessary to to clean suitably (the products used are never generic to all the discs of 78rpm, since the Edison do not admit the same chemical solutions that the shellac, or those of gelatine, for example.) his deficient cleanliness, beside generating important noise in his reproduction, can damages so much the disc how the players. Of there the importance of the same one. |
Clean machines like the KM, they are specially effective on discs of vinyl or in the shellac called. But his use in cellulose nitrate can provoke serious hurts the same one. |
