Today’s client brought us in a set of old organ recitals on analogue cassette tape. After importing we did some serious noise reduction and restoration and then edited the work in to CD length sessions before burning to disc. Quite a good recording given it was done with a domestic tape player with a built-in microphone and now our clients have the ease of playback on a CD player.

We are frequently asked by visitors to FIHQ “so what have you been doing?” and that really depends on how long you’ve got! In recent weeks we’ve designed and installed a custom VJ performance for a nightclub, headed up to the North West to consult on a PA installation, setup some hosting space for new clients, repaired intelligent lights, rehung commercial doors, reclaimed and reprocessed several hundred meters of hardwood, installed new office signage, consulted on half a dozen think tank projects, provided transport logistics for a distant client and continued to build our project studio for some recording /mastering / restoration projects. Never a dull moment around here! Check out the Project pages for more detailed info on some of the above mentioned missions…

Our work continues to grow and expand and we’ve been updating our site with news of the latest projects. For up to the second info be sure to get our Tweets @factotumindust or follow us on Facebook. Our expansion has included both “outerspace” (clients / work) and “innerspace” (R&D, facilities) components. From work further afield in the state to recent upgrades to the building signage (it should make it easier to find our HQ in Osborne Park) & parts storage it seems we will be powering on in to the winter…

It seems there’s been a lot of “black boxes” leaving the warehouse lately…

Sometimes we have clients that require advanced technical design / assembly skills and need turn key solutions. Many of these designs are built at our shop (as opposed to on-site) and then shipped unbadged direct so the clients can deploy to the final end users without the obvious signs of it being outsourced.

Plus it means we can indirectly service remote areas where we don’t have existing networks.

We’re here to lend a hand whatever you are doing!

Clients had a very heavy hardwood door. Poor weatherproofing and poor choice in original timber selection for the frame meant it [the frame] had completely failed.

We custom machined a new Jarrah frame, rehung the door and added additional sealing to keep the elements at bay.
