A word from
Professor Gerhard Bauer


"For decades I taught students the history of the motion picture: Its artistry, its drama, and its fragility. I founded Phonotone because I believe every surviving foot of film deserves a future. Whether it's your family's home movies or a rare historical print, I treat it as if it were my own."
Film is history, and it is disappearing. Every year, reels sit unseen in attics, archives, and closets, slowly fading, shrinking, and breaking down. At Phonotone, we rescue those moments. We scan each frame gently and restore picture and sound with professional tools, so you can finally watch, share, and keep your film for generations.
Up to 4K resolution. Our Cintel G3 scans 35mm film in 4K. 4K scanning for 16mm is coming soon.
Gentle by design. Our sprocketless scanners touch your film only at its edges, so fragile prints come through safely.
Restoration, not just scanning. We remove dust, scratches, and flicker, correct faded color, and clean up the sound.
From reel to cinema. We handle every format from 8mm to 35mm, and produce theater-ready DCPs with calibrated 5.1 sound.
Film is history. It deserves to be preserved.
If we don't preserve it today, it may be lost forever.
