Here at Creation Audio Labs we go beyond the standard repair work that might be found at a typical repair center. In fact, our refurbish and restoration process is unlike any that other companies offer. The services we provide are of the highest caliber. In most cases, the console is restored to "better-than-new" status. This procedure will cure intermittent pops and crackles, restore lost channels, correct super- and sub-sonic distortions and strengthen the console to increase its durability and stability. To find out more about this detailed process, please view our slideshow. Hover over the picture for a description of each frame.
