Checklist for all types of sound systems. What equipment to use, what accessories to suggest, so as to insure more profits and satisfied customers.
With sound embracing an everwidening field, it is desirable that the sound and radio men have an equipment checklist that will help in specifying the proper units for each type of installation.
The accompanying chart of sound installation requirements was compiled with the idea that it suggest the various types of apparatus that might be sold. To show the relative sales possibility or need of the various units, the codes A, B, C are employed -A signifying absolute necessity or irst choice, B indicating probable need jr second choice. C is indicative of a rather remote possibility.
As in any chart where items are grouped together, the interpretation is in the term of averages. For example, the requirements for a school are the average of those found in typical cities. Naturally any specific school has its unique problems that will vary from the average. This chart, however, will help the sound man determine the exact requirements since it supplies the basis on which to make the survey.
Some sound systems will be a combination of several of the locations listed on the chart. A school may have the classroom system, an auditorium system, one for the gymnasium, and possibly sound on the athletic field. Depending on the needs and the physical layouts, some of the systems may be combined so as to use the same amplifiers and pick-up equipment.
By using this chart the sound specialist and radioman will be sure that he is suggesting a complete amplifier installation — resulting in more profits and better customer satisfaction.
Centra/ address system as school aid
A plan to provide classrooms of 90,000 pupils of the New York area with amplifiers is being tested by the administration of the 240 parochial schools of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York.
The sound systems will be connected by telephone circuits to a broadcasting studio. Addresses, lessons, announcements and musical programs are some of the uses to which the system will be put.
While the installation and maintenance cost of such a system would be high for one school, it is made comparatively low by having many schools use the facilities. It is expected that sponsors will be found to defray the expense and that a high grade of programs can be provided.
Dealer sells every garage in town
"When I go into a place of business, I do not try to sell sound systems at all — I just try to get a demonstration and let the customers sell themselves."
With this kind of an attitude, L. I. Spicer of Spicer Sound Co., Monmouth, 111., went out and successfully sold every garage in his town on the
idea of using a combined paging and intercommunicating system. Mr. Spicer convinced the garage men that the system was a money-saver, that he was the man to install it properly, and that the price was appropriate. He showed the auto houses that it was a smart idea to provide dependable and economical communication between the various departments of the business— specifically, the stock room, the parking lot, the mechanic on the floor.
