Defense Testimonials

“AudioSoft Limited recording systems supplied and installed 11 (eleven) digital recorder/reproducer systems at civil and military sites and those systems are fully performing to a satisfactory standard. A total of 1120 recording channels are currently used to monitor capture and replay voice, data, and synchronous radar information over TWR, APP and ACC networks. The systems were purchased to replace analogue equipment and allow data replay while also recording. This is of value should an ongoing incident require instant clarification. Synchronized radar is also of value in incident reconstruction - when needed in either training or accident modes. AudioSoft is satisfactory supporting the purchased systems both directly via modem and through their local agent company, EBCO Systems. Recently, AudioSoft was awarded a new contract with CISCEA to supply additional 10 (ten) digital recorder/reproducer systems, evidencing the operational, technique and logistic acceptance of the systems purchased before in the Brazilian ATC environment.”

“The transmission quality was good, with perfect clarity and the CAA were impressed with the recording results. I doubt if we would have obtained the same level of clarity with our old system, as it was often very difficult to hear what different people were saying. The CAA took one hard copy, duplicated our DAT tape onto standard cassette and the original was taken away in case anyone wanted confirmation.”

“It was a very closely fought competition. Although the start up purchase costs of AudioSoft's system were not the cheapest, their use of COTS solutions gives us long term cost benefits in terms of ongoing maintenance and support after 4 to 5 years. This made them the most cost effective over the product's lifetime

AudioSoft's use of the industry standard Microsoft Windows 95 and NT operating systems was a comfort factor and the final bonus was that, as a British company, it could offer a UK based full support facility.

Those sites with the modem facility already in place are very pleased as it saves them a lot of grief, as minor problems can be sorted virtually instantly via the remote diagnostics program.

The remote diagnostics facility is very very helpful and offers a good service. We can ring at any time and they will take us through any problems. They have been brilliant.

Everyone without fail has commented on the clarity and better quality of recording, offered by the AudioPC 2000.”

“I would like to thank you for your kind assistance analysing essential audio media relating to the accident of one of our our Puma helicopters in Iraq recently. The data, which you formatted for us, now forms an extremely important strand of investigation, hopefully leading to safer operations for the Puma fleet. As you may be aware, aircraft accident investigation relies heavily on the swift gathering and thorough analysis of a variety of evidence. Not all of it appears relevant during the immediate aftermath of an accident, but this was one area that we suspected would give us important clues about the cause of the accident. That has proven to be the case.

I hope that we can rely upon your support again in the future, should it be necessary. As an accident investigator, it is always good to know exactly where swift and professional support services are located to help take the investigation forward. Thank you again.”

“We have been a user of AudioSoft equipment for many years. We recently had an urgent requirement for a fly away pack with a deployable AudioPC recording system which was delivered providing effective operational capability, which exceeded expectations. We would be pleased to recommend AudioSoft as a company and AudioPC as a product for digital data recording solutions within the Defence sector.”

“The training that Formation TASOPs now enjoy, both at ADAC(P) and while deployed, is truly a quantum leap from the paper based training that was principally utilized before SonarPC3000. I genuinely appreciate the incremental improvements that your company has perpetually provided in both versions four and six.

Looking forward, I am confident that, based on the fruitful outcome of past symposiums, we will discuss potential version updates for the future that could prove mutually beneficial.”

“Please pass on our thank to your development team for their support with SonarPC version 6. Both the operators and the maintainer within the Royal Navy Submarine School were happy with the work conducted.”
