Australian optical disc manufacturing plant, active under this name from late 2005 to late 2007.
Sonopress expanded into Australia by acquiring the existing operations and disc manufacturing plant of Waterloo, Sydney-based Arvato Digital Services, Australia.
This profile can be identified by the presence of the Sonopress Arvato logo and www.sonopress.com.au in the disc matrix, usually accompanied by mould SID code IFPI 5V**.
Early releases manufactured at this plant carry a matrix number NNNNNN-NNNNNN (where the first NNNNNN is a DDMMYY glass master date) and mastering SID code IFPI LP71. These discs were replicated from glass masters manufactured by Sonopress Arvato, Singapore, which can be credited in LCCN as instructed on its own profile.
Beginning around mid-2007, a new matrix pattern was introduced, with the glass master date followed by a sequential number 'SOAU ####', now accompanied by mastering SID code IFPI LY89. Example: '5/09/2007 - SOAU 2700'. The SOAU #### matrix number may be entered in LCCN for Sonopress Arvato, Australia.
