What to Recommend?

In any business audio installation a key part of a well designed job is getting all the steps done right. Most of these steps must be done in order or the system may turn out to be poorly designed and won’t meet customer expectations. Getting each step right however can lead to well done installations which will promote additional future business through positive referrals and satisfied customers.

Step 1 – Know the Job!

Every system specification begins with a survey of the site. The sales engineer, whose job is to ask the right questions and gather all the information necessary to complete an accurate bid, normally performs the survey.

At this stage, it is most important to form an accurate picture of the customer’s needs. Will the system be used for paging, background music, or both? Do pages originate from a single location, or from multiple locations? Must the system be tied into the customer’s telephone network? Should the system be divided into multiple zones with separate volume controls? If so, should pages be routed to all zones, or should zones be separately addressable? Should zone controls be located at the rack, or is local control required? The answers to questions like these will determine major aspects of the system design.

Talking to individual users of the proposed system will help to reveal important design details. Is the maitre d’ hotel’s station located directly under a speaker? If so, then an independent local volume control should be provided for that speaker, so that it can be adjusted to allow conversation with patrons. Will the person issuing pages be sitting under or near a speaker? If so, then consider equalization, or a separate muting circuit, to avoid feedback. Is light-switch height a comfortable location for zone volume controls, or does the user have another
