Default Store PA Backgd Music Adjustment

2017-Dec - Long-term update:


For over one and one half years, with the mods
made as described in my last post, it has largely
been 'steady as goes'. Perhaps it is better that
the music is routed through the wall pots, so
there is no volume war going on between various
store managers. (!)


Still a low-level background hum, from the same
amp with the sledge-hammered Aux. knob, but
at least Bass & Treble are about where I left
them after a glance inside a couple months ago,
when the door was left cracked inadvertently.


I did inquire of an IT specialist who needed the
closet while he was configuring new POS card
swipe terminals if he could examine the actual
music player/receiver for make & model nos.
No dice - all he could discern after gently picking
it up was a sticker on top: "My In-Store Radio".
Per a visit to that providers website, as well as
general web searchds, I was able to glean
ZERO info as to the actual make and model of
that small black box. I was trying to find a manual
for the thing, to read up on it's inner workings and
settings, just in case.


The only other significant, and sad item of note is
the gradual decrease in number of songs played
per cycle, now down to barely a dozen, and much
more recent songs of different genres. As
opposed to 15-20 songs per cycle a few months
ago, and over 30(!) songs per cycle as mentioned
two-three years ago. Guess that's why it's called
'background' music: it's not at all sbout the music
itself.
