Nicholas Bergh received his B.A. and M.A. in ethnomusicology from UCLA where he specialized in the history of recording technology and sound archiving. During this time, he was also fortunate to be mentored by engineers who worked in the earliest decades of optical sound, disc, and magnetic technologies. After spending a number of years doing digital restoration work, Nicholas started Endpoint Audio Labs in 2003 to focus on improving the quality of sound transfers before restoration. Endpoint has become known for both unique transfer technologies as well as using historical research to inform transfer decisions. Projects range from major 70mm studio films such The Sound of Music and My Fair Lady to the earliest Vitaphone films of the 1920s.
