Experience cinema at home with our cutting-edge film projectors!
(Well they were 50 years ago.)
We capture the pictures on our film scanner, but lifting audio off 8mm films can be quite tricky. We have several options, including using Heurtier sound projectors. The audio files are then synced up with the picture.
These projectors have survived well. The film transport mechanism remains solid, and the film speed across the audio heads is very steady. Considering the limitations of the recordings, which are now 50 years old or older, the quality we can achieve is surprisingly good.
The Heurtier P6-24 Sound Projector combines the precise mechanical engineering of the standard P6-24 series with integrated magnetic audio playback, making it a comprehensive, professional solution for digitising and presenting audio-visual 8mm film collections.
Equipped with modular sound capability, full dual-gauge compatibility across Super 8, Single 8, and Standard 8mm formats, and sharp Som Berthiot optics, this unit enables seamless frame-rate matching and precise audio track playback for archival transfers and media preservation.

Product Info…
Finding 8mm Sound Projectors that work well, don’t chew up the film and provide decent audio is not easy, and this perhaps is another reason to digitise film. Although a premium brand half a century ago, unfortunately, many very old 8mm Eumig projectors now cannot run at a steady speed. Multi-standard projectors sound good in theory but will often make the damaged film worse, particularly if they only move the film with a claw mechanism.
Collection is preferred, but delivery is available at an additional cost.
