Well there is nothing worse than poor sound quality, especially if is =
also loud. =20
I was at an exhibition at a major art gallery a few months ago, and the =
noise level at one exhibit was simply dreadful. It was so annoying one =
had to walk into the next gallery to get away from it.=20
I was unable to enjoy the adjacent paintings because it was so =
irritating and distracting.
If you do use sound, discretion is important- watch the decible levels, =
and how it affects viewers at nearby exhibits. Cheap may not be the way =
to go.=20
There area couple of places in Vancouver that may be able to help you: =
Commercial Electronics on Burrard, and Long and McQuade on Main St. in =
North Vancouver.=20
Some people still have ear drums in spite of walkmans, I-pods, ear buds =
and whatever else is out there to destroy people's hearing.

We're going to be installing some background sound in one of our =
exhibits; undecided yet if it'll be on continuous loop or visitor =
triggered. Either way, simplicity, reliability and cost are key.

Does anyone out there have recommendations on inexpensive electronic =
audio playback devices? This seems like something that could be hacked =
together from a cheap mp3 player, but I'm sure there are better =
solutions.
