Unfortunately, after many listenings a wax layer of cylinders becoms more and more damaged. There is a great need for high-quality transfer of cylinders to preserve spiritual heritage for future generations.The current state of the problem of sound preservation and restoration of cultural heritage of the first half of the twentieth century is considered. The restoration and digitization of audio information stored on the rarity record carriers are carried out. Records made on phonograph cylinders being characterized by high level of noise which are bound up with mechanical damage to the surface, sticking of dust, destruction of the wax cylinder surface by microorganisms. A processing and reconstruction sound signal recordings of phonograms have been carried out.
