System Requirements 

Sound LaundryÖ is a very efficient software; the basic set of the restoration PlugIns (stand-alone version) runs in real-time already on PentiumÖ 166 without any problems. All current WindowsÖ versions (95/98/ME/2000/NT4.0) are supported. Any WindowsÖ compatible sound card can be used for recording and playing back sound files. We recommend, however, using high-quality sound cards, especially if transferring analog recordings to digital domain. The best results are to expect if using high-quality external AD/DA converters connected to the sound cards supporting digital input and output. To test the quality of your sound card we recommend using our AlgoTestÖ.

For transferring 78rpm or vinyl records directly from turntable a special preamplifier is necessary. It is normally a part of the Hi-Fi amplifiers. In the meantime, however, the German sound card company TerraTecÖ offers a very convenient solution: a turntable preamplifier which is powered via game port and can be connected directly to any PC sound card.
