Wire audio recordings were an early media format that came before reel-to-reel audio tapes. It used magnets to record audio on a reel of steel wire about the thickness of a single human hair. Wire recordings were more robust and durable than other mediums, such as records and wax recordings.
Wire recording gained wide usage in military applications during the early 1900s through World War II. Public usage of the wire recording format was at its peak during the 1940s and into the 1950s. During this time, people throughout the U.S. bought over a million reels of wire!
Two Squares uses the best professionally maintained and tuned audio equipment for our wire recording transfers. This equipment plays back wire recordings, ensuring the highest quality capture possible.
Two Squares can convert the audio from wire recordings to a set of MP3 files which you can copy to an iPod, iPhone, iPad, Android phone, computer, external hard drive, or flash drive.
If you prefer, Two Squares can also transfer audio from wire recordings to CDs. These conversions are great for listening to recordings in your car or at home.
