Here's a question: cassette tape is to a cassette tape player as memory is to what? The answer is a digital message repeater.

Digital message repeaters or DMRs are sold-state playback devices that range in quality from AM radio to high end studio sound reproduction (some even playback video). You may have some bad memories associated with exhibits that in the past used some type of audiotape or video tape system. It has always been difficult for an organization (regardless of size) to maintain any type of audio visual system that used tape in their presentations. Some of the problems included: never-ending costly maintenance and repair, tapes that wear out and sound/look poor, managing a library of expensive replacement tapes and last but not least, trying to finding the guys that installed the system in the first place. With the exception of finding the guys who installed the system, DMRs put an end to all of that. With solid-state construction, there are no moving parts to wear out, ensuring that messages play back the same every time, even after millions of plays, with no loss of sound and video quality.

Additionally, DMRs include features that were not available in the past, such as, built-in amplifiers, push button start control, audio looping control, on site recording ability, and control relays that can be used for lighting or automation. DMRs can even be started automatically with an electric eye or a motion detector.

Although this solid-state stuff is good news, there is more. If you work with someone who is a home stereo enthusiast, they can install a audio DMR that will hold up to 60 seconds of audio for around $249.00. Just include a speaker and pushbutton and you're off and running. Dome speakers can be helpful were acoustical separation is essential.

Avitra can help those of you that would like a turn-key system installed and services may include a site survey, script editing, recording studio time, voice over talent, sound effects, a display case, and system installation.
