Fort Steele Heritage Town is currently undertaking a display in which we
are rebuilding a North West Mounted Police Officers' Quarters (circa
1887).  As a part of this display, we had been thinking of using an
audio system-i.e. mounted speakers in different rooms elaborating on
interpretative themes and historical characters.  However, having never
dealt with such an audio presentation before on our heritage site, we
are not quite sure which is the best system to go with and who to
contact for information.

Has anyone out there dealt with mounted audio programming before (in
other words, not the carry-along, tape recorder type)?  Could someone
offer some suggestions on how to proceed, including what types of
problems arise from using this type of interpretative tool?



Thanks
